First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
Welcome - also take a look at this video - it's the V8 but much of the content is relevant: Can't emphasize enough the timing chains and front/rear crossovers (ideally confirm they've been done, esp. at 100K miles). Air suspension in my opinion shouldn't be a blocker the parts are... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4

New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon
There's another threads somewhere about these tires; I hear the Michelin Cross Climate 2 is fantastic in the snow; this is likely my next tire as I'm not an off roader. -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
I think it's the original! I'm still pondering the next course of action, given it's age do I spring for a new one on the assumption that it will fail eventually or solder a short wire as suggested by Range Rover. Given my daughter may drive this occasionally I lean towards a new one (looking... -
Land Rover Valve Cover Spark Plug Gasket - Genuine Rover LR014345 - thoughts on cost
Where are you finding these? I can find a full kit that includes the valve cover gaskets (which I already have) but not the individual gaskets??? -

Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Here's an image of the camshaft alignment from this video, at approximately 30m and 52 seconds - he mentions the boxed text facing down. And with the locking tool in place: Crank position sensor lock tool (fits in an unseen square hole): Crank lock tool where the starter motor is removed: -

Land Rover Valve Cover Spark Plug Gasket - Genuine Rover LR014345 - thoughts on cost
Curious what folks think of the price difference between OE and after market for valve cover spark plug/injector gaskets, so OE are $25.19 (I assume this is each) and after market are $4.79. I'm having a hard time reconciling this huge cost difference and whether it's worth paying over $200 for... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
I'm back and working again on the project albeit as a very slow pace... FWIW I posted in this thread last night about removing the starter motor: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/changing-starter-motor-on-lr4.42106/ I tried turning the motor over last night to get everything aligned for... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Anything I can do or do I need a new starter motor? I still have to get the cable and the old nut separated as well! So this: It's almost as if the nut is retained in place by bending wire tabs on to the nut? I was hoping this is a spade type connector but it's not coming off with some... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Here's what the motor looks like from the pinion side: And here's what I broke: Anyone got any ideas or is it a new starter? It does look to be the original! Hope this helps those who follow! -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Continued... Once the plastic covers are removed you see this: Zoomed in; here are the three remaining things that need to be removed: Here's a close up of the electrical connections, ultimately the small wire broke off the motor (my fault): The motor came out from just behind the lower... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
I had to remove the starter motor today (while working on my timing chains) and never found a really useful removal guide so here are some notes on this topic. The body of the starter motor is secured with two bolts; they are both accessible from the cross member that goes across the front of... -
dreaded coolant level warning
Can you see any coolant in the valley, on mine it was pretty easy to see down by the Y crossover pipe. I think the o'ring on the oil coolant pipe is often the culprit of slow leaks. -

Thank you, I’m going to be a fine wine all the way with this project! Won’t have anything to report until Dec/7th as I’m headed to the UK. -
Timing Chain parts
I'm totally purchasing OE; they've lasted 102K miles so no need to change that formula. I ended up purchasing some stuff from FCP Euro and Lake Bluff Land Rover. It's all in a spreadsheet (with links) if you need the list? I hate to say it but British Atlantic can be quite expensive and I... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Thank you Rover Range and scapistron. Understood (esp. the tightening procedure - which sounds really scary!), but if you have the crank pulley removal toolkit then surely this takes place of locking down the crank to stop anything moving. I'll do as you say, just trying to understand, for... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Thanks Rover Range - the odd link makes sense; also thanks for all the other tips. I only have a 1/2" breaker bar so I've purchased an adapter (1/2" female to 3/4" male). Left hand thread when the bolt is marked with 12.9 but this is also what I'm assuming. Curious why the crank has to be... -

I don't think the folks here can emphasize this enough, if you're in there then to these crossover pipes. -

Looking to purchase timing chain tools
OK, Thanks, guess I'll need to eat my spinach tonight! Is this a fools errand? I have yet to undo the crank bolt; I was thinking to get it lined up with the timing marks (even if it takes 30 revolutions); then install the crankshaft pulley remover (but not the aligning tools yet - as I don't... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
FWIW - a pencil is too small to block the injector hole, anyway, all injectors are out (I left PB Blaster in the holes over night) - it wasn't too bad so I feel I got lucky, the max slides on the slide hammer must been about twenty on injector 6, most were less than ten. I've yet to really... -
