    Time for new injectors?

    Update: Truck loves the new, OEM coils, but misfire remains. New coils went in the passenger bank, and I played with combinations of the old, oem coils on the driver side bank. Oh, and the number three injector code returned. I have codes related to the number three cylinder, but with live...

    Interesting Overland setup

    I just received my rear tire mount from rijidij and it is outstanding quality. Waiting to get my rover from the shop to install, but it looks solid and boasts non-interference with the rear parking sensors. https://rijidijoffroad.com.au/products/discovery-3-4-swing-away-wheel-carrier/

    Time for new injectors?

    @LR4FoxsSake , bottom line: the LR4 hates non-oem coils. It will only stay running when the old, LR coils are installed. According the the indy, the pcm is shutting down spark from the Bremi and Delphi coils because it is seeing a resistance that it doesn't like--no idea if that is the case...

    Time for new injectors?

    Agreed, and thank you for the sanity check! The wiring harness is actually reasonably priced for a LR part (~$600), but we will see if that is the culprit-- I turned over the gremlin-hunting to a local indy. Hopefully, they can find the issue and resolve it quickly...

    Another 20" tire question

    Spacers would depend on the offset of those rims as much as tire choice. The stock 20" tire size is 255-50/20. A 265-55/20 would be comparable to the popular 265-65/18 Side but for not appear to have a lot of options. Use a tire comparison calculator online and stay around 31.5 inch diameter...

    Time for new injectors?

    Update #2 Delphi coils finally arrived and went in today. Installed driver side, dropped my socket, and had to raise the vehicle - she started right up with the three new ignition coils, but still had a misfire. Shut her down, found my socket and wrench wedged between the front diff and frame...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Glad you like them and congrats! Did you try checking tire pressures with the vehicle off and ignition on? Just press the start button once with your foot off of the brake. Scroll to service menu and select pressure check

    Time for new injectors?

    Update: Injector code stayed away, but misfire returned. I limped it to the nearest shop and they were nice enough to order me some new parts and work on it in their parking lot. Swapped the plugs first and here are the old ones (67000 miles). Misfire continues. Swapped the coils around...

    My Rover Ate A Bolt - Anyone Help With Part Number or Specs???

    Sorry to hear about your troubles brother, but know that you are more than capable of knocking it out. I found these that look right. They're the same pitch and head as the water pump bolts, but shorter...

    Yay! I get to replace the rear diff pinion seal

    @Strizzo, looking at the exploded view, it's set with a crush sleeve. The workshop manual advises to measure the exposed pinion threads, Mark the nut, and count the number of rotations. Sounds fun! Your description of the leak makes me feel much better about not catching it until now. I have not...

    Yay! I get to replace the rear diff pinion seal

    Finally had a long weekend to catch up on rover maintenance. As I was flushing my brake lines, I noticed some diff fluid droplets on my rear locker. Upon further inspection, and with a heavy dose of Google searching, it looks like the pinion seal is leaking. Once I get my fluid on...

    TuffAnt ET27

    I run the +44 tuffants. I based my decision on how the tires would recess into the wheel wells at full compression. The +27 are over 1/2 inch further out than the +44 and there may be issues with wider tires hitting the arches / fender liner if fully compressed. Just my .02

    Time for new injectors?

    Thanks for your thoughts and for the eBay link. That's a great find and I can order the six that I need. I am sure I wasn't clear in the first post and would still like feedback: - would you replace the injectors preemptively or leave it alone since the code has not returned? - any worries...

    Time for new injectors?

    2015 LR4 LUX 66000 miles. We just moved to TN from GA (~400 miles) and my wife stated the the rover "felt weird". I drove it for the next couple of days. I drove to work with no issues, but after starting the car again (~ 1hr later) it was idling poorly. I drove it a mile up the road and a CEL...

    Well crap!

    None for the pipes. The rubber o-rings on the pipes seal them. I forget what year your truck is though. If supercharged, the supercharger or the snout, and the water pump need to come off to get the "y" pipe off. Not sure if it's easier on the 5.0. With the water pump you'll need the water pump...

    Damn, late post.

    Well crap!

    Doesn't look like it. Looks like they replaced only the pump, oil cooler pipe, and oil cooler pipe gasket.

    Rhino / ox hitch option

    Definitely a huge upgrade and looks better than the stock hitch. Be prepared to touch up the powder coating on the bolts. Some cracked off while tightening and the bolts slightly rusted. Also, if you intend to cut the shackle cover and reinstall, the templates were reversed. Cut the larger...

    Stop start mystery

    Haha if I find a way to make it fail, I'll let you know. Otherwise, I'm exploring the brake switch and seat belt sensor. I'll report results once I figure something out.

    Exhaust opinion?

    @avslash, I think this is what Jimmy was talking about: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/exhaust-mod.18367/ I'm with you though. I think the pipes need to span to the rear of the car. With the spare removed, I laid staring at the under carriage wondering how to get the pipes higher....
