Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?
For the fluid flush I used the Rover recommended Castrol as sourced from AB, at that time, AB was by far the least expensive. -
Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?
It's the rear's, almost certainly - well at least as the fronts and rears were installed at about the same time the last time around. I replace the rotors every other time. -
Removing rear seat headrests?
Agreed, they have push in buttons on both posts, quite stiff. You need to push both in at the same time and then lever the headrest upwards, it can be a trick... I have removed my rear seat headrests for better visibility, they are stored in the way back in case I have passengers. I have seen... -
Cosmetic for sun damage?
My regime for the exterior. Painty Bits: Wash it Clay it Touch up paint as required - I'm a hack at this part... Klasse (German made liquid wax) - 3 coats Carnuba Wax (spray on) - 2 coats (takes out any swirls and is crazy shiny) Graphene - 1 coat - 303 Brand Carnuba - another 2 coats Light Up... -
Toll-road RDIF sticker on LR4 windshield
We do not have any issues with RFID window tags in NY State or in TX as applied to the standard heated windshield, or with the parking structure hanging tag that hangs on the rear view mirror. Most of the tags tell you exactly where they are to be applied - I would go with the instructions as... -
Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
Boring out the cylinders and increasing displacement is seriously beyond my experience and capabilities, but I can comment on using cheap injectors and coils. I changed all 6 in the Nissan Maxima and went the cheap route. Less than a month later I was back at it again and that time I used all... -
Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
Not to minimize, and not that I ever want to do the work, but for understanding... off the top of my head... a long block would then need, or need to be connected to - alternator, viscous fan, belts, intake and exhaust manifolds, supercharger depending on model year, coolant plumbing... -
Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
Everyone... And if this is a stupid question please let me know. Why not purchase the engine and do the work ourselves?? And in that case what configuration engine would we be getting? Short block? I don't know the term but is there such a thing as a "long" block. And in overview, for... -
LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
80mph in the LR4 here in Houston means you are still in the driveway - well only exaggerating a little bit, no traffic cops here anymore and while I also baby it, 80mph is an every day occurrence. And for grins you could add a supercharger to that V8... Hey, the heart wants what it wants, if... -
Known Auto-Salvage (Junk Yard) Resources for Harvesting Hard to Find Parts
As our LR4's age, and because Rover only provides some parts when we purchase entire assemblies, I note that we are seeing more posts looking for individual hard to find piece parts. Can I suggest that the Admin's start a sticky thread for with a title something like this one, and until that... -
The Quest for A Durable Front Crossover Pipe
A couple years ago when I did the 2013 V8 5L I found an on-line vendor with crossover aluminum pipes, and they were physically just across town here in Houston, TX. I drove over with the intent to look at the crossover pipes and to purchase a set. Rather than re-hash those comments (available... -
If anyone needs information on dropping your LR4 tank to replace the fuel pump, let me know...
Thanks! I have a phantom fuel leak at fill-up time that we have been working on for a year now. (It's slow because the truck is away at University and I need to depend on remote dealerships). Dealerships are at a loss to explain and I know that my diagnostic skills are far superior - but I... -
Any DIY tips out there on replacing a 2016 LR4 SCV6 Thermostat Housing?
Yes, that's it. The part number is also in the video in the beginning in the parts list. If you can actually get that old thermostat/hose bit please let us all know how! I replaced the entire lower hose, no sense spending the money and then not replacing. Note that Rover hoses come with the... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
The Rover dealership up at University will be doing it, even though these guys are the best Rover dealership I have personally worked with, still can't think too far out of the box. :rolleyes: Although they did agree to install just the o-ring rather than the entire vent tube, should that be... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Thanks, trying to schedule a smoke test... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Got it, thanks! Let's assume that this is indeed my problem, that o-ring is not going to be available from Rover as an individual o-ring. In an attempt to have that o-ring on hand when doing the work, which would then save alot of time, do you know the specifications for that o-ring so that it... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Sorry, still not understanding. So the o-ring in question is not at the tank, it's at the fuel filler cap? And when I look at the 2015, this is what I see from the top down, I don't see anything that looks or feels like an o-ring. Do I need to remove the fender liner and look from underneath to... -
Any DIY tips out there on replacing a 2016 LR4 SCV6 Thermostat Housing?
In my case, the adapter on the bottom of the thermostat did not come off and I needed to purchase the entire hose assembly that goes from the thermostat down to the radiator, that hose assembly was about $250. It's a standard brutal plumbing problem, just 2 little tips, there is a T-30 bolt... -
If anyone needs information on dropping your LR4 tank to replace the fuel pump, let me know...
Thanks! Do you happen to have any photos of the spot where the vent hose (that goes to the carbon cannister) attaches to the tank? -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Many Thanks! Not trying to be dense here, but I do not understand how an o-ring failure here would put raw fuel into the canister, I do think I see how it could put fuel on the outside of the tank. And because Rover is Rover, then to replace this o-ring would require a totally new tank? And to... -
Current Tire Recommendations?
The truck is away at University and not my daily driver. There is a small chance I could be up there during the snow season, IF I ever get a chance to drive these tires in the snow I will update here. -
Current Tire Recommendations?
Well, completed the tire upgrade last week and need to provide an update. Installed 4 Michelin Cross Climate2 tires on the 2016. Have driven it on gravel, mud road (nothing spectacular - maybe 3" deep on a firm base), highway and wet highway for several hundred miles. One word - WOW! Road... -
Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?
Updating my comments from above. It's now Aug 2023 and I have completed a 1-year inspection. I used POR-15 on the 2016 on some light rust patches in Aug 2022, following their procedures - i.e. using the POR pre-wash followed by 2 coats of POR-15. It's pretty much impossible to get... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Thanks. Due to my D schedule, it's almost impossible to get the truck free for anyone to touch it - probably needs to wait until Christmas break. I will update... That internal vapor hose o-ring seems to explain the behavior. Not to defend the dealership, but they have suggested smoke... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
My year long sag continues. Smells began AFTER I had a local dealer do the recall, Aug 2022. Smells ONLY when tank is completely full at the pump, goes away after even just a few miles and tank goes down just that little bit. I took it back, they could not find anything. But I can find moist...
