non-decorative-capped lugnut availability?
No "misfortune", nobody touches any my vehicles including the LR of 23 years and counting. Caps not swelled up, nuts fall out of the 6 point socket. Torqued to near spec numbers. Those are steelie cone nuts above, people should make sure they are buying flat seated washered nuts when ordering... -

Leaking in car ruined my interior, and fried my electrical!!!
I'd be giving your atorney a call and heads up about the leaking issue and hope to get a third failure to fix then apply the Lemon Law on it. My LR while waiting for an engine replacement of five weeks sat in a lot facing downhill along with the driver's sunroof open in the rain. I stopped by a...- BeemerNut

Quick Compressor Replacement Question
LR should of made a note stating preventive maintence to replace filters by 4 or 5 years time or X amount of miles before having a total failure issue at 10 years then it was too late. I bet by the 4-5 year time period it was due to be replaced not your 10 with total failure time. Hell might as... -

Massive oil leak 4.6 front timing cover area
Worse case a damaged cover, i'd pull one out of Pick-n-Pull ahead of time or whatever is in your area for a backup cover vs Stealership or LR parts supply company ouch prices. By this also check the used cover's oil pump vs yours which one has tighter pump gear clearances including lapping the... -

Quick Compressor Replacement Question
Sounds like you need a filtering system after this known to fail dessicant unit before it happens again. If a known problem, i'd make a modification before it failed the first time if I owned one of these vehicles. ......~~=o&o>...... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
WIX for several years was right there near the top of list in quality also the ability to capture smaller micron particles in the first pass 90% test of their filter media material. Jordan, go figure about the largest sandbox in the world. HASTINGS filters the 7" long 426 holds 34 ounces alone... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Replacement front fender manual radio antenna ordered from LR dealership, "special order no returns" made in India. The insult being it didn't fit the rubber grommet smaller in diameter than the fender hole. Again told "its a OEM LR part it should fit no returns". Nothing like cutting then... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Waiting too long you'll forget how to reassemble your engine. When done finding extra pars you should of installed? Ouch. I lost a connection having LR employee discounts at a LR dealership when the service writer retired, soon afterwards the parts department friend moved up to the mountains... -

Massive oil leak 4.6 front timing cover area
There is clearance between the bolt shanks and holes in the timing cover. You best should align this cover with a sleeve that slides over the crank snout (slide fit no clearance) with the OD a slide fit (no clearance) into the timing cover's ID bore near the seal. This way the seal along with... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Sometimes a little price shopping between suppliers results in big savings. I found a $47 difference in an OEM waterpump yet shipping was higher than the more expensive WP. AUTOHAUS AZ. ordered "OEM" WP specified on order, received WP of Chyna origins. Longer down time returned POS. Lower... -

Quick Compressor Replacement Question
How i'm reading this the filter sounds like the main issue causing compressor and valving failures. Along the same line why not install an engine oil filter without the filtering media and see what happens? The "BEAN COUNTERS" stuck again. I'd upgrade that filtering system imcluding... -

Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold
GHG emissions, lookout cows your next requiring Cat converters shoved up yout butts. More funtional to install them at both ends of politicians here in Kalifornia, other 49 states included. One friend of a friend (electrical engineer not a stupid person) installed massive solar panels (he has... -

Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold
Check out the "SAND GRAB" article, Chyna taking sand and building islands along with increasing their land mass, sand from other countries. Wake up world, Chyna thinks long term taking over the world, you thought that wack job "scatter brains" leader of Germany 1930's era was bad. Not to get... -

Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold
Thank You, your reply is the best others do not factor into world pollution issues. Hell no coal fired generating plants allowed in Kalifornia so they (Kalifornia) now buy electricity instead from Arizona where they operate coal fired generators last recalled then transmit electricity to... -

Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold
I'd suspect the engine coolant temp sensor is giving the wrong resistance value to the ECM in thinking the engine is much colder than it actually is hence "FUEL ENRICHMENT" being longer duty cycle allowing engine to run properly until up to operating temp. Warm or up to normal operating temp the... -

LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
georgekale, by the looks of the larger bump guide, what is the thickness gained the larger bump to plastic rubbing surface vs the older guide from recessed pocket to plastic tubbing surface? That difference alone allowing keeping the hydraulically applied piston deeper in its bore preventing it... -

LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
Wow that's a record even Peterbilt inline six engines can not match in mileage before rebuild time. Personal hands on a friend's 79 Peterbilt always well treated and maintained (we're both licensed A&P aviation engine shop mechanics) had clocked 823K miles before an "in frame" rebuild was... -

On the Disco 2 it's a M8 x20 flanged bolt. Not knowing if LR kept the same bolt dimention on later Disco 2, one would think same bolt keeping the bean counters happy? Pricing less than a buck to around $3.00 last recall. Grade 8 automotive parts store or your local Pick-n-Pull will be your... -

Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue
Belt tensioner arms over time and mileage bind up then jump instead of taking up and releasing belt tension smoothly. This will increase belt tension increasing strain on the belt as well all the accesory items driven on their bearings vs maintaining a constant tension during hot and cold... -

Thanks a great heads up eye opener. Had to ask, any great priced Indy suppliers of OEM LR parts on the west coast (S.F. Bay Area) vs paying large shipping fees across the country? If anyone knows parts pricing my son Nick being into 80's era 325is and M5 BMW's racing them. Nick mentioned ECS... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
With AutohausAZ you have to be careful with any given part as they will list OEM parts on down to rubbish by several different manufactures going down in quality along with lower pricing. Besure to order the brand by manufacture of part you want. Another thing Autohaus is good at a lot more...
