    vibration at idle - motor mounts?

    I've never found the v6 to be particularly smooth around idle.

    bad lower ball joint lead to howling?

    If you have more time than money, or like a challenge. Pull the whole arm and replace the bushings and ball joint. If you just want to get back on the road, buy a whole new arm.

    Help

    Replacing the engine is going to cost a lot more than $4000 let alone $400. If you want to try and save it you need to figure out if you just need new head gaskets or if you damaged the block. Are you doing this yourself or paying a shop?

    Ordered a remanufactured long block from tapa out in California. You can find them on eBay, guy was great to work with. So far I'm almost 3000 miles into the new motor and feel comfortable throwing more money at it for stuff I want.

    Under Hood Insulation

    I stored a ton of parts in the back when I replaced the engine. I was not smart enough to remember to do something about the electric latch though.

    Under Hood Insulation

    They'll be exterminated. I'd also like to remove the home from the market for the next family that climbs into the engine bay. I just don't want to destroy the paint in the process.

    Under Hood Insulation

    I know on some cars the under hood insulation and engine cover actually protect the hood from overheating. Is that the case with our LR4s? I've got a family of mice that have moved in to the under hood insulation and I would like to not only evict them, but raze their home.* *There's a...

    Shipping for Vacation

    Any of you ever ship a vehicle to a destination for vacation? We're going to Yellowstone in September and with my wife's work schedule time off is limited so adding several days on the front and back end to drive from the east coast isn't in the cards. There's a possibility I make the drive...

    LR4 winter tires - 2025 edition

    Most people around here just put all seasons on their AWD vehicle and call it a day. Then the first bit of snow shows up and it becomes clear that everyone forgot how to drive in the snow over the previous 9 months. I've only come across one other person in my burb that has studded tires on a...

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    Agreed. I put a small bit of XPEL Armor over the paint.

    Reset monitors for nys inspection

    What are the codes? Inspection station is only going to care about emissions and maybe safety. Do not clear the codes. What the inspection station is looking for is a distance of *** (250?) miles since the last time codes were cleared. The assumption the inspection station makes from that...

    When to replace coil packs?

    Fiddly getting good access to the last couple of plugs. I find the wiring harness on the passenger side to be a bit annoying too.

    LR4 winter tires - 2025 edition

    My guess would be speed rating. Just a guess though.

    If anyone needs information on dropping your LR4 tank to replace the fuel pump, let me know...

    I've had decent luck with hose grip pliers. Really need to be careful with them though, can easily crush the plastic.

    150k miles, time for differential and transfer case fluids

    The markup is from the manufacturer. I was in a rush and bought a quart of transmission fluid from the dealer. Parts counter told me they get charged $80 for it. Had a CJR dealership been nearby I'd have gone there. A ZF 8 speed is a ZF 8 speed, they're all going to use the same fluid.

    V8 5.0L Intake Manifold - what is the rear sensor?

    Especially with it being on the back. I think it is worth replacing and risking a crib death of the new part.

    V8 5.0L Intake Manifold - what is the rear sensor?

    LR011982 Pretty sure that is the one.

    '13 will lose power and die after a quick stop

    This is the opposite of "ain't got no gas in it". You've got gas where you aren't supposed to. I bet if you aimed for 3/4 full when pumping your problem goes away. Problem with this solution is that given the MPGs of these things that'll leave you with about 150 miles of range.

    I took the leap...

    Being in Florida, I wouldn't worry too much about 0w vs 5w. Just make sure it is right going forward.

    That's all Folks! 15 years of Rover ownership has come to end.

    Probably got a G63 4+4 and doesn't want to make us feel jealous.

    Choppy idle

    Clunking sound on very cold start

    Might be motor mounts. With the hood open how much do you see the engine move when you rev it up? You can also check the clearance between the intake pipe and the fan shroud.

    Genuine Bosch is only $76 from FCP Euro.

    dreaded coolant level warning

    Where did your replacement come from? You can probably "just" replace the head gaskets.
