    When is it time to say goodbye?

    I have always preferred to own a car outright and agree that paying covid tax on any vehicle new or used right now does not make sense. I agree they are great vehicles to drive and being originally from UK the Land Rover name does invoke some loyalty. However, every LR4 owner out there will at...

    When is it time to say goodbye?

    I shudder at the thought! However at some point the cost of leasing a brand new, albeit mediocre vehicle vs. Spending the same money to keep the LR4 running does enter the fray

    When is it time to say goodbye?

    Don't get me going on gas $! Our maintenance costs are comparable i.e. 10cents/km for yours vs. 11 cents/km for mine. Agree a RAV 4 is a more logical choice, but cannot bring myself to even consider one. With two dogs a Tesla model Y would keep my wife and son happy, but not keen on leasing and...

    2012 LR4 - Clunk at low speeds in 1st gear

    Drive slowly and pulse the brake - you should hear the clunking. Do you know when they were last replaced?

    When is it time to say goodbye?

    Just doing my 2021 taxes. My 2010 V8, 100k miles cost $CAD 5k in repairs in 2021. You can add in another $CAD575 for tools. A friend leases a RAV4 for $CAD4,800 a year. Only maintenance is oil changes :( The cost-benefit of ownership is naturally on a declining curve. No major breakages in...

    Out of interest, which JLR indy are you using in TO? I own a 2010 and am also in TO

    Water Pump Replacement - Preemptive?

    I would definitely replace the front crossover and rear heater manifold pipes. Personally I wouldn't bother with the water pump until it develops a slow leak. You can do the pipes without touching the water pump, so you are not saving any effort by doing all at once.

    Spare tire low pressure warning

    So I found the TPMS on the IID. However it was set up as 'no TPMS' for the spare tire.........so how / why am I getting the sodding low pressure warning I wonder??

    Spare tire low pressure warning

    So I got the spare tire low pressure warning and checked the pressure. It was 40psi vs. 60psi. Pumped it up, but annoying warning remains (havent rechecked to see if it has deflated again mind you). Is there a way to disable this with the IID tool?

    2015 V6 coolant pipes done. Pics of old pipes

    Did the front and rear crappy plastic pipes on my 2010 V8 at 90k miles. The front crossover and maybe the water pump too showed a small leak over 18 months. It was pooling on the vacuum pump and clearly visible on skid plate upper surface. Overall a straightforward job, if a little fiddly...

    New spare tire swing-out option

    Laughing at replies. I would have to say not a fan either. Good luck finding a parking space long enough, but if you love it that's all that counts.

    Intermittant steering 'rattle' noise on full lock?

    Hi, 2010 LR4 with 100k miles. Twice over the past week the steering has made an odd rattle noise on full lock. Sounds like I have run over a flimsy piece of metal. Wife has heard it too when she was driving it. Only happens occasionally so far. PS fluid changed with OEM a month back. Otherwise...

    Brake Sensor (Front) Damaged do I need to pull pads to install?

    No, you just need to attach the new one and the end of it inserts into a slot in the caliper as I recall

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    Does it have a seam along its length; I forget? Either way, if it catastrophically fails, big problem; I would replace sooner rather than later

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    Replaced it in August along with the front crossover. The original leak was from the crossover pipe seals

    Another Crossover / cooling system job

    Sounds like a project! I had a slow leak over a couple of yrs. Garage diagnosed the water pump and replaced it. Leak continued. The leak was from the front crossover seals. I replaced crossover and rear heater manifold pipe. Not sure if water pump was leaking. I had coolant sitting on top of...

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    I did ultimately bleed the system correctly, just not at first attempt. Thanks guys for your reassuring thoughts!

    P2019A error code

    Update! Have been trying to find time to put the new upstream O2 sensors on. Then after a month or two of being on, the CEL went off!! Either the bulb expired, or the fault self-fixed. Win-win regardless!! :) ....... waiting for it to come back on :(

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    Well, the garage did do a pressure test previously and could not detect the leaking crossover pipe seal, even though I had coolant dripping onto the driveway? And I have faith in them as have been using them for years

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    I like your reassuring thinking! I have zero experience with head gasket issues i.e. if they develop a small leak will it inevitably progress to a catastrophic one? If heater core leaking would I be smelling coolant? Will replace the coolant tank cap as a precaution. Actually we have had a...

    Water pump replaced, still leaking coolant

    The coolant leak saga continues! To recap, water pump, crossover pipe and heater manifold pipe replaced in August in response to long term slow leak that was progressing. That seemed to fix it. Now noticing another even slower leak. Level drops bya few mm after 100 miles. This is where I...

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    Is this a North America wide recall? In Canada. Entered my 2010 LR4 VIN into the NHTSA website and came up with nothing.

    Blown Head gaskets

    Out of interest, after it over heated how long before the head gasket let go?
