If we're thinking of the same thing, I believe there's a little plastic trim cap that covers the screws. (This isn't a Defender, we COVER our screws!) You can just pull it off (or put a butter knife underneath to grab an edge etc)
You have some extra noise beyond the lifters. From what I've heard, it does sound like timing chains / tensioners. Do you have the ability to pull codes ?
How do you feel about Defender vs LR4 having had both for a little while now? I've been in a Defender a couple times and while the bigger screen give a more modern feel, I sometimes think the LR4 is the "nicer" one, with leather dash / top of door panels, lack of exposed screw heads, etc...
Seems unusual that they 1) connect the supercharger cooling loop to the regular cooling system and 2) put two air-to-water charge coolers on top of the hot engine.
Ventilated seats and modern nav would be on my wishlist. The one thing I really like about the LR4's factory nav is the breadcrumb option, and I'm not sure that's available on the Pivi system.
I'm a pretty big fan of this design --
Hopefully you can add your own images / icons to make it...
Ha, I've occasionally thought about slapping an ipad mini up there to do "carplay." You could 3d print a little bezel and it wouldn't look any different than any MB made in the last 7 years :)
Just the standard LR / Magna pump. I didn't want to screw around with finding a 2 pin connector to fit a Bosch and splicing into the factory wiring. Plus I wasn't sure if the stumpy pump mounting bracket was different than the earlier cars.
I saved the old pump to disassemble at a later time...
Pretty simple job - took me about 90 min but if you regularly work on your car I'd guess you'd do it in half the time.
Here's a few notes for people doing it --
First, its clear my pump wasn't running at all. Applying 12V directly results in nothing. No idea when it failed and I only started...
I've done a pretty deep dive on this and I'm pretty confident that any OAT coolant (that is also silicate free) will work without adverse effects on the cooling system.
Interestingly, OAT coolants started as free of phosphates and silicates, then a new class of Si-OAT has been released (mostly...
Supposed to be a quick (1 hr) job with minimal loss of coolant (~ 1/4 liter) if you clamp hoses well... and I just did coolant last year when replacing crossovers :)
Going to change the aux coolant pump. Like the title says -- would there be there any harm in topping up the coolant system (filled with the OEM Land Rover Coolant - orange color w/ OAT) with Pentofrost SF (which I believe is also OAT technology, but pink in color) ? I believe, color aside...
