EBC Rotors + EBC GreenStuff 6000 Brake Pads Feedback
In general, this type of process is for rapid bedding... i.e., for race cars on a closed course, where they can't putt around with light braking for extended periods. I've done both. I prefer the slow & steady method. I once had a bad result with the rapid, hot & hard method. Never had an issue... -
Costco Mobil 0w20
JLR specified 0W-20 viscosity to meet ever-tightening government fuel economy regs. If you don't have to shoo penguins away from your LR4 before starting it, there's no need to use 0W-20. Otherwise there's little if any benefit besides a ±0.13% improvement in fuel economy. 5W-20 is fine, if you... -
EBC Rotors + EBC GreenStuff 6000 Brake Pads Feedback
There are multiple different compounds of "Greens", as ktm25 noted in post #9. The compound varies by vehicle application. EBC would probably not offer a pad for the LR4 that was inadequate for the weight of the vehicle. That said, @keya, please let us know how they work long term - particularly... -
Good price or crack pipe?
25 years is long enough to have some decent changes in infrastructure. But less than 10 years (UK) and less than 15 years (California) is going to be a lot more difficult to achieve. I doubt either of those target dates will be hit. :goodnight -
DIY Oil Change for LR4

DIY Oil Change for LR4
Magnesium is part of the oil's additive package, similar to zinc, phosphorus, and moly. Mobil-1 has much lower calcium and higher magnesium. Nothing to worry about here. You want to monitor wear metals, and if using extended drain intervals, TBN. I use Mobil Accutrack analysis, which shows... -
Brake question
I have the older Pittsburgh-branded version of that jack. It works great for a fraction of the price of a big-name jack (like AC Hydraulic jacks, made in Denmark, which I'd have if I could afford 'em). No need to open a door, but I think the idea behind having the truck in off-road mode, is... -
Brake question
Factory manual says to put suspension in off-road mode (highest position) before jacking any wheels off the ground. Make sure you have a high-lift jack. -
Manual & Oil Change
The "Service Required" reminder can be reset with the IID GAP tool, if you don't have it yet, you'll need it if you plan on DIY repairs. Otherwise you'll have the reminder appearing at every start. Oil leak you describe sounds very much like the vacuum pump. BT, DT. You can attempt to re-seal... -
5.0 L Water Pump OEM brands vs Aftermarket vs Genuine
This. ^^^ Especially for those of us who are out of warranty, and/or DIY'ing the repair and can't go back to the indy shop if it dies in 11 months. FCP Euro's lifetime warranty is fabulous, but if you have to replace the water pump annually, is it worth it? Exactly. There's no incentive for a... -
Fan clutch
A word of caution... in general, avoid ÜRO parts like the plague. Don't take my word for it, Google for more info, read first-hand accounts. In the German parts world, they are known as the worst of the worst. Their Rover parts will not be any better. The most frequent complaint is short... -
Rusty/Brown/Bronze Brake Calipers
I believe Ferodo is the OEM for the factory LR pads. Remanufactured calipers often lack the original coating/painting, as they are stripped (media blasted?), taken apart, and have the soft parts replaced. But the donor caliper will be OE, and generally you return your OE calipers for a core... -

2016 LR4 SCV6 - Block heater, now with video of location.
Looks like it's directly above the engine mount, as viewed from below. Gotta check this on my 2010 LR4! :cool: -
LR3 or LR4?
1) Drive a couple of LR4 models for comparison. I think the extra power makes a huge difference. Others may not care. I never even considered the LR3 as I felt 300hp/315tq was not adequate for the base 5600+lbs, let alone towing anything heavy. 2) I'm not sure I'd consider the items mentioned... -
150K Mile Service
You really need more information about what they are doing. As mentioned by djkaosone, there's a big difference between dumping a can of juice in the fuel tank, vs connecting pro equipment to the fuel rail. $129 sounds more like the former but you won't know until you ask. Ditto for the PS... -

Thanks! Wow, that's a major price difference... but apparently worth it! -
2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise
Good to hear it went smoothly with good tools. Do you have links or name/numbers of the tools which didn't work? So we know what *not* to buy? :eek: -
Gas tank fuel capacity.
I don't trust the "miles remaining" at all, partly because it doesn't start a countdown until the reserve light illuminates. AND, I don't trust the reserve light either. After I ran out of gas one time (thankfully, within sight of a gas station) I started watching these like a hawk. I found the... -
Gas tank fuel capacity.
Fuel trim percentages may vary with altitude, possibly more so with normally aspirated engines (V8, not SCV6). Numbers at sea level may be different than at higher elevations. 1-3% seems stupid low to me and totally normal. I'd be more concerned if the numbers were double digits, or drastically... -
Lr4 oil level meter capacity
IIRC, the gauge is not absolute. It requires a calibration when the oil is changed, so it "knows" what "full" is, then bases readings off that. So, unless you've followed the procedure in the factory manual, there's no guarantee the reading displayed is accurate. Also, I've found what I drain... -
TOPIX no longer showing full build ?
In the Mercedes world, the datacard for each VIN is easily available online, for free. It shows engine & trans serial numbers, paint and interior color codes with descriptions, and a complete list of the optional equipment codes / descriptions. Plus the delivery country and approximate build... -

Help! Its Smoking!
That gasket is not sold separately. And, I was afraid to remove the front cover lest I damage something, or springs fly out, etc. What I did was apply a bead of sealant all around the front cover seam. This is messy, ugly, and more difficult than it sounds. My first attempts only achieved ±80%...
