Coolant pipe failure (SCV6)
To the OP: Not sure you can determine block and heads are ok because “everything looks tight”. I’d run a compression test and leak down to start I am at 70ish K and replacing all pipes belts, WP, Therm and all hoses in addition to SC coupler and SC oil over the next few weeks. Told my wife no... -

STJLR.51.5122
I use AMSOIL is my L322 and 930, would like to use in the LR4, but I am not an engineer (chemical) and just don't know enough about oil (technical) to make a decision. Has anyone done any technical research or first hand experience with JLR? -

STJLR.51.5122
Does anyone know what is so unique about this oil, and any reason why you cannot use say AMSOIL 0W-20 in it's place for the 2014-16 LR4's? -

Actual Water/Oil Temps
Good points. My discussions with Andial were back in the late 80's, and I was running M1 then, so I am sure BIG improvements were made. I use AMSOIL in my 930 and L322, so I am really not to concerned about oil temps hitting 220-230 in either of those cars. I just don't know the quality of the... -

Actual Water/Oil Temps
Boiling point is around 212. Based on conversations with Andial engineer years ago, they like to see their engines run around 176-180. Nice to hit 212 to burn off moisture, but I just don't want to sit at 220....regardless, I change at 5K so I am not to worried about it. -

Actual Water/Oil Temps
I decided to monitor my actual water and oil temps while on a trip from Chas to Boston a few weeks ago using Veepeak and Fusion. My water temps fluctuated from 205-226 (hitting 226 once, briefly, remaining mostly at 219 at cruise. It did cruise at times in the 205-210 range though. The temp... -

Rear Crossover (Heater Manifold) failure mode?
If you are talking about it coming apart at the ends, that is normal for composite cooling pipes (at least on BMW's) as every coolant pipe that I've replaced on all of the M54 engines that I've worked on came apart when I pulled them out of the block and they were not leaking prior to being... -

Brake Pad Wear Light
Replaced rear pads last night. Still had 2-3mm of pad left. Did not have enough time to do the rotors. Those rear pads are incredibly small, maybe that’s why they wear so quick. Rotors had some wear but no grooves. 230k on my 05 L332, getting ready to do the rears a second time, and the fronts... -

Ran low on coolant - hose came loose. What issues could engine have now? 2011 LR4
Me personally, If I like the car, and it's in good condition (Body/Interior), then I can't see dumping it cheap then turning around and buying another used/new car that will most likely depreciate on the way home. I'd easily dump double what its worth IF I was previously happy, and had no... -

Brake Pad Wear Light
This is my first set (front or rear) at 73K, but I bought it with around 40K on it, so who know how many previous....I went with Ferodo/Zimm's. Used both many times in other cars and very satisfied. -

Brake Pad Wear Light
2015lux with 73K, Brake pad wear indicator just came on. To busy right now to pull wheels and look at both sides. I know this is totally subjective due to driving habit, but approx how many miles do I have before I hit metal? I just don't have time right now and want to put this off if I... -

Windshield
Need a new windshield due to large crack. Can anyone recommend a good nationwide company, and a way to make sure I get a LR factory glass as opposed to aftermarket? (Year ago, I had aftermarket installed in my 2005 L322, rain sensing wipers never worked until they finally replaced it again with... -

Everything considered (size, seating, loadspace, off-road, price, and overall appearance) it's hard to beat a good LR4. -

Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?
I don't want to get into a debate, or say negative things about a product, so let's just say it's me being extra safe in my old age! -

Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?
Done that before too. But even on Ramps I use jack stands. Especially if using Rhino ramps. -

Does the vehicle stay in off-road height when turned off?
Mine will stay in O/R height for days, however, I'd never get under the truck without jack stands in the event an airline/bag blew. I usually put the L322 and LR4 in O/R height when working underneath, but always with jack stands as a failsafe. BTW, I will alternatively park it in Access... -

Yep, previous owner installed H8 in our LR4 as well, so that's what I am going back with. Incidentally, we have not received the Battery Charge message since Sunday.

2015LR4: Best H8 (Group 49) AGM Battery
Can anyone tell me what brands you recommend? I may be replacing the battery in my wife's LR4 this week and wanted to get some feedback on brands. I've always used Interstate, and had good luck, but it seems there is an Advanced/AutoZone/O'Reilly on every corner, is any one of these better then... -
