Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold
Not sure about Toronto, but here in Houston I likely put more than 9 cents of vapor to the air every time I fill it up - while vapor recovery is "required" here almost all stations have disabled it. I look at it this way - what is the total footprint of a small amount of emissions for winter... -
IID Tool Recommendation
I defer to the highly experiences folks, but my IID Tool experience was less than anticipated. I purchased mine directly from the manufacturer. The company was hard to work with, did not return e-mails. I found the registration process to be exceedingly poorly documented and highly frustrating... -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
No headlight jets on this one. But we had them on the '92 Isuzu Trooper - as they got older they seeped and then began to stain the paint. I disconnected before any permanent paint damage was done. -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
Daughter finally had a few minutes to perform a remote diagnostic session. So whatever had probably frozen at 7F was unfrozen at 27F. Pump still works, no re-set required. Pumped out alot of "washer fluid" and back filled with the good stuff -25F. She has instructions to continue running the... -
Really Stupid Question - Time required to reach operating temperature (V6)?
Daughter in Rochester, NY finally had some time to spend with the 2016. At 26F, Idle 10 minutes - dash indicated dead cold. Hold at 2K RPM for 7-8 minutes - at normal operating temp Recalibrated her expectations on how long it should take to warm up! Thanks! -
Interior Panel Part # please!
My go to parts number resource is Phillip at Palm Beach Rover. Super service and quick shipping as well. -
SAD ENDING TO OUR LR4
I would be highly tempted to buy it back and repair it myself. Although hard to tell, at first glance it looks mostly cosmetic and body plus some possible suspension repairs. Can you tell if there is any frame damage?? -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
Sounds logical. Would be better if there was an automatic reset tied to ambient temperature rather that requiring a trip to the dealership- oh wait, silly me…. At least some of us have invested in the IIDTool, Sounds like I play with it on the 2013, then send the IID to my daughter so we can... -

So what is the sensor triggering on? -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
I was just going to ask that! I can play with it here on the 2013 then send it to her and she can reset the required parameter on her 2016 as long as she can add the app to her phone. (Yes, my IID is set up for both trucks.) So, what is the exact parameter that needs to be reset for this... -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
Hmmm, we shall see what happens when we get it defrosted. I can't do that reset from across the country, might be a trip to the remote Rover Dealership - at least people seem to rate them highly. OR actually, can I send her the IIDTool and do it from across the country on my phone?? Anyone... -
Really Stupid Question - Time required to reach operating temperature (V6)?
Not to exceed 3K RPM? Ours have probably seen 3K RPM once or twice in their entire lives! Thanks, I am old enough to have learned "old school", the man goes out 30 minutes before the car is needed. Starts it, clears snow, and waits.... I know that running rich is not good long term, but why... -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
Please update with results. My daughter in Rochester NY just tried her washers and they are not working. Even though I put in 0F fluid, which is fine for there, I wonder if the previous fluid had not been fully flushed out and might be frozen in the pump or the lines. Concerned about damage due... -
Really Stupid Question - Time required to reach operating temperature (V6)?
Ha! I used a "Saskatchewan Thermostat" on my 1972 Austin Marina in Wisconsin. Mine had a one-time adjustable aperture in the middle. Had to calibrate the size of the aperture vs the temperature and be sure to install the summer version before it got too warm out. -
engine stalling
Well, years ago my Austin Marina had a gas tank that was painted on the inside. The paint failed and flaked off. After maybe 20-30 minutes enough paint flakes were sucked up against the fuel tank filter that the engine stalled out. After sitting for about the same amount of time, they had come... -
Wonky bits after disconnecting my battery...
It's very possible that your IIDTool (like mine) will not have the proper battery listed when you do the battery reset. Just choose the closest/best fit. And yes, my LR4 was unhappy at first, but after "thinking about" the new battery overnight, all the codes cleared - all my themselves. Go... -
Did I break something?
Plenty of videos but they go over it quickly so its easy to miss. Before you start, put vehicle at normal height, then measure hub midpoint to fender , mine was 18.25 inches. On a 2013. Also mark the cam washers and frame with paint pen to capture that alignment. Install all the bolts... -
Date code on LR batteries?
3 years is the max lifetime for me. Very doubtful your battery is 6 years old… I always use a paint pen and write the installation date on the top where it is easily seen. As I recall, my AutoZone batteries have date stamps on the side on the end towards the front and ut cannot be seen unless... -
engine stalling
Yes, the engine temperature plug on the heater manifold (rear crossover pipe) and the plug on the back of the intake manifold are interchangeable. I did the 2013 last month and due to wire lengths it was not possible to mess it up, but there are other strings here that state they have been... -

3 years is ready for immediate replacement. I would move on that one! -
Stripped bolt hole for 5.0L water pump
I did the 2013 last month. Confirmed jumping cat on that one! -
Really Stupid Question - Time required to reach operating temperature (V6)?
Coolant is a bit low but not bad. Will have her top it off from the supply box in the back. I hadn’t run in 6 weeks, for Christmas break. Maybe something there? Would be but a few minutes work if it was home, but its 1300 miles away… -
Really Stupid Question - Time required to reach operating temperature (V6)?
Engine Temp sensor is located in the heater manifold, seems logical it also controls diversion to the heater. Seems to be correct because little heat in the cabin. At this point no idiot lights or messages. We shall see, this is the first real winter this truck has probably ever seen - might... -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
Any chance it was frozen solid inside the pump and you just can't hear anything because the pump is locked? I checked the shop manuals for 2013-2016, not terribly helpful. There is one pump, two hoses. Get to it by removing the drivers side fender liner. I have a wiring schematic for the... -
Stripped bolt hole for 5.0L water pump
I replaced the front lowers this fall on the 2013. I wasn't paying enough attention when I ordered from AB and I got AB parts rather than OEM. Guess we shall see how long they last...
