Looking to purchase timing chain tools
First a huge shoutout to AGLR4 who first mentioned shortening the crank pulley bolt and has been providing me guidance on how much he removed, from what end; etc.... As you can see I removed just shy of 1 1/4" inches from the right hand threaded portion of the bolt; this in essence removes the... -

That's all Folks! 15 years of Rover ownership has come to end.
Yeah same question as Land Rover - you're not deserting us are you??? -
Risk of overheating damage - signs?
There's been a lot of threads recently about checking your cooling fluid with a kit from Harbor Freight; I don't know the exact details but you can determine if there are exhaust gases in the coolant and if there are it's indicative of a leaky head. I would start there; many others have pointed... -
I took the leap...
Looks amazing, congratulations and welcome to the club, may you have many long joyous journeys :-). These rigs really are amazing. -
Tensioners - (for the timing chain) - what's the deal?
Hey Folks, The more I go down the rabbit hole with this timing chain job the more I realize the small nuances make a difference in overall project success... Today, I'm trying to figure out the procedure with the timing chain tensioners. Having watched many YouTube videos and posts on the web... -

This thread implies also shortening the center bolt: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/diy-timing-chain.31050/post-214575 Have others done this, what thread get's shortened, the left or right hand thread??? -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Next question - I read in a previous thread that the threaded shaft used to remove the crank pulley may be shorter in some kits; I'm really trying to avoid removing the radiator so I'm exploring shortening the shaft that came with the kit I purchased, so here's the shaft (11"): The left hand... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Here's what the locking tool C looks like when installed, I have a cheap little borescope camera so thought I'd post what it looks like in place: From the outside here's the fixture in place on the crank: With the tools B and C in place I then installed the crank pulley tool (supported... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
I finally got back to the broken solenoid nut: I installed a 8mm socket on to the nut and was able to use the leading edge of the socket as a pivot point to use a screwdriver to leverage the small locking tabs away from the edges of the nut; with the tabs out the way I used a pair of pliers... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Awesome - thank you. I will post updates; I just purchased two M10 nuts that fit on the two starter motor bolts so I have everything needed to lock down the crank. Will eat my spinach so I can get the crank pulley bolt out!... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Any thoughts folks on A, B, C and D in my post above? I'm getting close to undoing the crank bolt and want to double check I'm headed in the right direction - Thanks. -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
FWIW, here are some images of the timing before removing the crank pulley, chains, etc. I think the engine may be in the correct position but won't know more until I can see the timing mark on the guides. Here's the driver side: And passenger side: -
How-To DIY: Replacing LR4 fuel system low pressure sensor
Thanks for sharing this, having just done my transmission pan I know how tight it is up there. Well done. -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Hi Folks - Rear crossover pipe done this evening, people are not joking when they say the job is a pain in the a55! It's doable but lots of fussing to get the bolts out, I found a longer extension allowed my ratchet further back in the firewall area allowing me to get more degrees rotation each... -
Thoughts on these spark plugs?
FWIW - Here are my plugs, removed a few days ago, cylinder numbers are marked, so bank 1 (passenger side) is 1, 3, 5 and 7; bank 2 (driver side) is 2, 4, 6 and 8: This is all part of the timing chain job, I'm changing the plugs while I'm in there! -
New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon
It's a fair point but you're not comparing apples to apples. I would never put an all season tire up against a snow tire in the snow... It's a case of horses for courses and really depends on what the OP wants, where he lives and his own tolerance for risk. Some of those back roads in VT... -
Heater core swap
Thank you for the help, I bough this Airlift kit on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SRH5G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They look somewhat similar; I need to go read the manual! :argh: -
Heater core swap
You're correct; there's a bleeder as indicated here: I have the vacuum fill process in my not so distant future but have never done it yet... Still need to figure this out along with 43,000,000 other things! -

First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
Ahh yes, you're correct, they upgraded the guides to include the steel contact... My apologies for adding confusion. -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Even better is $217 on Parts Geek, but they seem to have two with prices differences which has me confused! https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2012/land_rover/lr4/engine_electrical/starter.html What am I missing here??? -
Land Rover Valve Cover Spark Plug Gasket - Genuine Rover LR014345 - thoughts on cost
Thank you so much I did see the ones at RMEuropean (partsgeek has the same) and pondered just buying the kits although I don't need the valve cover gaskets but I'm also putting in an order to FCP Euro so will likely go with them. The ones you found are the right ones; I was looking for the left... -
Land Rover Valve Cover Spark Plug Gasket - Genuine Rover LR014345 - thoughts on cost
Thanks, sorry I missed that! The hyperlinks are rather subtle with this forum tech! These however don't appear to be Elring unless Eurospare is Elring?
