part numbers - updated crossover pipes?
Before installing my pipes I coated them with a light coat of plastic epoxy....esp in the places where they "join". I don't think they'd ever fail on me again. The damn thing is like concrete now. -
Someone add a light here?
yessir i've cut it out neatly and installed LED lights there. Stock factory LED lights were an option offered to fill in that spot. -
Hello from Long Island
Hey buddy I'm located in Fresh Meadows, exit 25 off the 495. Let me know if you ever need work done on your rig. I know an ex glen cove land rover mechanic who does work in his backyard now. He charges a fraction of what an Indy would even charge. -
New LR4 Owner
So usually upon removal does it crumble due to heating/cooling stressing of the pipes. It usually fails around the O rings at the tip of the pipes. I was driving along on a hot summer day in Manhattan and all of a sudden I smelt the sweet smell of coolant. This was around 98k miles. The temp...- jlach993

New member introduction.
Well honestly the only thing in my mind that I would be worried about on a trip such as that is a leaking air strut/worn compressor and the coolant crossover pipes. Also make sure your alternator is charging above 13 volts. Anything else that could fail during a trip is manageable to an extent I...- jlach993

New LR4 Owner
With 32 inches you'd still get rub at the frame honestly. Will you be going with 18 inch rims and fitting all terrain tires? If so I'd stick with 31.6" being the most you'd fit under there with no rubbing and mods to the suspension. 265/65/18 or 285/60/18 would be the only two options honestly...- jlach993

Spark Plug Gapping
yikes...sounds like more trouble than its worth. Not trying to open a can of worms here haha -
Spark Plug Gapping
Hey everyone, Has anyone tried gapping their plugs to .50? I know factory is 0.40 for our engines. I know that a smaller gap tends to yield plugs that last longer at the cost of power and a larger gap gives more power at the cost of plug life. I don't really care about the plugs lasting... -
Success in having Land Rover cover timing chain expense post 100k miles
purchase date buddy if within 1 year of a purchase of a new LR4 obviously. MY date/mileage if bought used. -
Where does a failing front crossover leak?
Its impossible to know honestly. It leaks in the valley under the manifold and when its finally noticeable to our eyes it soaks the the thermostat/water pump valley. Thats why if you do one of thise items, you must do all three. Including the rear crossover. Obviously if you just did the water... -

2011 LR4 5.0 130k miles starting problem
makes you wonder if there was ever any issue with what the shop changed out...smh -
Cyclical Engine Hum
engine/transmission mounts as well. I had to change them out around 100k miles. It caused vibrations and humming into the cabin when driving and slightly when in gear at a stoplight. -
LR4 2010 Suspension height issue
Usually the codes for a bad compressor correlate with pressure filling too slowly when raising or not exhausting air quickly enough when lowering the suspension, I'd do some more research on that code. Read this forum...turns out it was the rear valve block and not the compressor... -
Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?
Hmm try swapping in a fresh battery? Odds are that one was probably working overtime if the alternator failed. A new battery should get the truck running. I tried jumping mine with the old battery in mine and not even a click. In theory regardless of the battery being bad or good in a normal car... -

Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?
boss....I'd bet its the alt. I went through the same thing without any warning. As I'm now looking back I realized my HD radio wasn't functioning a few days before the rover crapped out on me. I read somewhere that for some reason when the alternator is crapping out the HD radio no longer works... -
Brakes
Always use quality OEM Rotors or Zimmerman rotors. I went with EBC rotors and pads. They stop the truck on a dime and last around 25k miles (pads). The ebc rotors have been on for about 50k miles so far and look like they could go another set of pads. The only problem with the orangestuff ebc... -
Truck Burning Rich
after the cold start like 90 seconds later does it still smell like fuel? My truck from new starts with a powerful gust of thick gray smoke that smells like fuel and exhaust, but clears after about 45 seconds. The exhaust smoke is clean and there is literally no smell. If its running rich it... -
Check All Tire Pressure Fault
well spoke too soon people....pesky light came on once again a few mins ago. Now it's the rear right tire. At least it's not the general check all tire pressures light. i'll def be turning this tpms off with the gap tool once it arrives. I have bigger fish to fry with this vehicle lol. -
P219B Bank 2 Air/Fuel Ratio Imbalance
it means there's unmetered air coming in from somewhere....most likely somewhere in the exhaust. do a smoke test on the exhaust and see if there are any leaks you need to weld. It could also be an o2 sensor failing.
