LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
I will have to check that out -- I heard they were stuffing the N63 (from bmw / the L460) into the Defender sometime in 2024 (as a MY25), but didn't realize they were using the 130 body. Dunno -- the turbo would probably be better than supercharger since I live at altitude, but as with the 5L... -

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
One of the guys at an LR shop here in Denver swapped the BMW I6 (N52? N53?) into his D2. Pretty cool ride. -

LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
Always loved the way these look. But if potential reliability concerns about your LR4 are making you neurotic, no way I'd touch a D2. -

2013 AC not cold - Refrigerant pressure good - Not intermittant
Cosign on checking evap temperature. On mine, I've seen the front get down to -2 C just driving around with the AC on. Per the service guide, with AC on, temp at minimum, fan at max, recirc off, 1500 rpm for 5 minutes, center vent temp should be between -2C and -7C. You know, the newest LR4s... -

The Quest for A Durable Front Crossover Pipe
I put on a version of that in the spring. Working so far. -

I want to say that's the breather for the front diff. -

Removing D Pillar Trim
Quick question and surprised I didn't find it in search. Can I remove the upper D pillar trim (that houses the speaker) without removing the lower back cargo area trim? I pulled it off at the top easily enough but it doesn't seem to lift up/out. Just wanted to check before I break some little... -

Ahh, got it. OK, maybe my joke about side scoops would be an interesting 3d printing project actually... -

What kind of leak is this?
There are some decent posts if you search.... 3 bleed points on the v8 (heater pipe by battery box, crossover, reservoir). The V6SC has a fourth point, front driver's side leaving the intercooler radiator. -

Dual engine air intake channels
I've been playing around with logging ambient vs IAT vs supercharger temps. I can post some data once I have a chance to go through it, but my initial impression is that (at city speeds) the intake charge is picking up a surprising amount of heat by the time it gets to the MAF. This is largely... -

Just put a forward facing scoop on the side gills :cool: -

What kind of leak is this?
You can remove the hose at the clamp but when you refill the cooling system, you'll need to bleed from there unless you have a vacuum filler. Your screw may be fine or it may be trashed. Hard to know until you try to remove. -

What kind of leak is this?
Similar issue with mine -- there's a bmw one that fits -- part 17111712788 and might not hurt to have on hand before he starts. There's also some brass versions of the same part that should be more reliable. I think the little o-ring at the top is what does the real sealing and those will fall... -

Coolant line - I think that's the one at the passenger rear of the engine bay? -

New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Curious if I'm missing something, but I don't see how failure to do the recall would lead to being stranded? Fire, sure, and I guess that would result in being stranded, but with the flange on the top, I don't think the tank would empty ? -

Does my engine sound normal?
Thanks for this! Definitely going to check this out. I had always thought about measuring offset from crank as a way to figure if the effective length of the chain had varied, I didn't realize there was a constant adaptation! -

Does my engine sound normal?
I think there's a couple things going on here - injectors, the HPFP pump, and maybe the compressor starts up in the background in one of them. All I can say is that when I traded this one in to get my newer one, they mentioned there might be the slightest bit of noise from the chain, but almost... -

Does my engine sound normal?
This is on my 2012 (v8) with around 80K miles. Maybe, maybe a tiny bit of clicking. -

Does my engine sound normal?
Do you mean absolute value or delta between the two banks? I always thought our cams were continuously varying based on load, engine speed, etc ? -

Does my engine sound normal?
There are some codes that can be set intermittently that won't trigger the MIL. So would want to pull codes regardless. Timing-chain-wise -- with the engine off, remove the oil cap and see how much play is in the chain. Will need a screwdriver, or like a hook pick - something like this...
