    SCV6 Engine chatter/knock

    I wouldn't keep driving it like that because whatever it is could let go and create an even more expensive repair. I don't know about that engine but maybe it could be a timing chain since that is Land Rovers weakness. A rod knock may not sound like that. Mine haven't sounded like that but one...

    MPG - Gotta be wrong....

    Land Rover uses their own algorithm, its not the one everyone uses with a calculator with miles driven and gallons used. Instant MPG is useful when driving down a grade because when it hits 90 or whatever max it shows that is when I turn on the AC for maintenance for free thanks to gravity. The...

    Down shifting in 4L?

    I tried to reproduce the down shift problem in either mode and it down shifts fine. I did have a problem yesterday with the battery and I'm not sure if its related. What happened was a slight bump that I heard but didn't feel crossing onto asphalt getting across the highway. The fronts slipped a...

    Down shifting in 4L?

    I've noticed while in 4L in 2nd gear, Sand Mode, Command Shift in 2nd I'll push the gear shifter to drop into 1st and it denies the request. I'll pull the shifter back and there is no response. Today I tried 4 times while going up a hill and no-shifting at all so I gas it harder, try again and...

    Newbie LR4 questions - thanks!

    How are you putting the suspension in extended off-road height?

    What scan tool to get

    Yeah, its not for everyone. People don't need that much power and control over their rig. That and it requires virtual machine experience although that isn't hard to learn.

    2016 LR4 Coolant Leak 50k miles (tstat, water pump, front pipe)

    The brass bleed screw is a gem. So easy to prevent massive problems. These rigs are high value still to this day. Everyone likes Land Rovers. There was a recent Land Rover publicity stunt video where a guy in a RRS climbed up a super steep stair case of some sort in a far away land. They played...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Leak 50k miles (tstat, water pump, front pipe)

    Its really mileage dependent and the V6 differs from the V8 maintenance-wise with some things. At 140k mi I'm doing my serpentine belts when I replace the alternator proactively. Maybe sooner. It just turned 120k miles and I've been offroading it several times a week. It took a long time to...

    Auxillary Fuel Tank

    Dig those tires. I'm still on street tires that I bought it with and after hydroplaning on the freeway the other day in the last storm with people passing quite fast while I drove under the speed limit lol. It was out in the country on a mountain pass near the CO river valley. The steering wheel...

    LR4 HD Parts

    I looked for a long time, everyday for probably 4 months since I had a remote job. Then I bought it out of state. Long story short $30k all-in fully sorted. I had to have the V8, 4X4. The rear camera is not a deal breaker since it doesn't respond reliably anyway, I had thought it was a must have...

    replacement Alpine roof glass

    As far as being crushed, the LR3/LR4 are stout asf so in a roll you'll be fine if your belt is on.

    Tracking down Bolt info (SOLVED)

    Look for a salvage yard like pull-your-part. With all the modifications you want to do it would be better to find one locally to scavenge off of or buy one that has everything you want already.

    What scan tool to get

    Everyone says the gap but I went with the full SDD rip the dealer uses for $35. Then I used the extra $500 I saved to put towards a laptop and bought an i7 Acer. Either way you go its copyright theft and no different than buying pirated TV :D.

    Heated Wood Steering Wheel

    You'll like the seat heaters in the winter. The steering wheel heater isn't a big deal but it helps keep warm. Its been getting cold and rainy and with the seat heaters I don't need the heater or A/C running, plenty of power and its like a lizard on a rock. Aside from that I've been thinking a...

    Heated Wood Steering Wheel

    I haven't seen a wooden wheel in an LR4 yet. The look of the wood is tight. That interior is a lot like mine, tan with the same color wood and with an all leather wheel. On my rig the sun damaged the passenger door wood and the wood under the touchscreen has a slight crack in it. It wasn't like...

    replacement Alpine roof glass

    Sorry to hear that. In my area I wouldn't trust anyone unless they have done it before and they will pretty much name their price. I love the glass and look out through it every night in the desert. There are 2-3 shooting stars a night.

    LR4 2015 Engine Rodent Takeover!

    The mice out here are big mofos and laughed at mouse traps I set for them. They aren't laughing now because I upped my game to rat traps baited with poison sticks to increase trigger sensitivity using leverage. They also catch rats but those are pretty rare.

    Coolant Issue driving me crazy

    Seems like a shorter than the already short predicted life-span. I read 60k mi but have no experience with it yet. I have 20k mi on mine now. I bought mine at the dealer and took the one in the pic back. The seams looked like ****. They had a whole box of them and said they are all about the...

    Struggles to start and single bank misfires only when cold?

    I'd remove the cats and see if the problem reproduces. If it isn't back-pressure related my guess is it isn't getting enough fuel. When it gets warm things expand and the problem may not reproduce after that.

    Used SCV8 engine and trans assembly

    Yeah, the SC 4.2 has almost 400 HP. I hear the transmission is the same in the FB ad but doesn't last as long behind the SC V8. The brakes to me are already lacking and I'm light on the brakes lol. But the SC V8 would be powerful for towing too. I have strong thoughts of pulling a Black Series...

    Control Knobs

    I bought caps for the HVAC knobs instead of trying to clean them. The caps are painted silver and its looks so much better than black because it matches the other silver accents on the dash and shifter. They are for sale on amazon and you just stick them on and be done with it. I found the...
