Radiator replacement
Nissens is the oem radiator and I would stick to that. Be patient when removing and installing. It takes a while to shimmy it out and into place. -
Tips for cleaning radiator?
Google, "Radiator Genie". There's 2 types, pressured air and water. Lisle 88500 is a good one. -
I think it's time to move on...
Aww... Stories like this pains me. I was in a pretty bad pickle myself and decided to keep mine running. I honestly think that it's just head gaskets that need to be replaced, BUT its an intense job with a hefty price tag. I've removed the heads, few bolts short of doing the head gaskets. I know... -
Colder plugs...worse mileage?
I know back in the tuner racing days, people put colder plugs on boosted cars to stop it from detonating. Not sure if the LR4 uses the same plug for the V8 and SCV6. There's a possibility that the SCV6 uses a colder plug. -
Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?
You'd be surprised when you're spotting someone and they have no sense where their wheels are pointing. -
2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
My skid plates and sliders saw a lot of action. There are a few rocks hiding in the middle of the trail in bushes. -
Changing from Low to high and vise-versa while moving?
Funny, I just did this past weekend. Went to N while rolling downhill while foot on brakes slowing down to around 5 mph, shifted hi/lo, and put it back in D with no issues. Then around 5-10 mph on N went from lo/hi on a flat plateau, and shifted to D without issues. -
2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
I just got back from a 4th of July trip out in the Eastern Sierras in CA. Went from Bishop 4,100' elevation to Coyote Flats top ridge 10,000', explored around with lots of elevation changes between 8,000' to 11,100', through Sugarloaf, dropped back into Big Pine with a total trip of 54 miles... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
It's amazing to see it all coming together! I'm going broke just watching this come to fruition. -
Silicone key fob covers
Thought I'd share this as well, I was tired of replacing my key fob case from falling apart. After I replaced mine for the 3rd time, I had these on for almost 2 years and still going strong. Amazon search, "LR4 silicone key fob" and both key fob types are available. -
Perfect platform mattress
It's a tad too high and hard to move around with my ceiling storage. 3-4 inches lower would be perfect to clear my 2nd row mounted fridge. -
Perfect platform mattress
@powershift I made a folding platform and it's currently 14" tall to accommodate Plano sportsman bins, but it's too tall. I need to revise, lower it about 4 inches and add some drawers. I have another Exped Megamat Duo 10 (green one) , but queen size and I use it in the rtt. I love these... -
Perfect platform mattress
No one asked, but I found the perfect self-inflating air mattress. It's an Exped Deepsleep Mat 7.5 Duo size Medium Double. -
2013 auto high beam assist
Honestly, I dislike the auto high beam with my vision assist package. Probably, just me. :shot: -
Is it a leaking passenger side valve cover gasket?
I highly recommend replacing all your cooling components with oem. If you're replacing your valve cover gaskets, you're halfway to the timing chains. I've had good luck with Elwis gaskets, they've been good to me. -
ftillier's maintenance history
@ftillier I have a huge folder of invoices and I'm scared to itemize and break down costs. It's a very sophisticated truck with a lot of tedious maintenance and I love mine enough to pay to play. -
ftillier's maintenance history
Oh god... why did you do this? My list is pretty extensive, including but not limited to everything you did plus 2 transmissions (1 new and 1 used), timing chain, exhaust manifold gaskets, 2x rear driveshafts, new cooling components twice, new air suspension overhaul, new front diff, countless... -
Marketplace/Craigslist finds?
Not sure if the MudTech 18" is a direct bolt-on for the LR4s in the states. I've downsized my brakes to the Euro TDV6 brakes to accommodate 17s with 285/70r17 tires and love them. I want to go bigger tires, but my fuel consumption is telling me no. -
Road Trip, now have CEL with P0420
You can check the injector pulse-width live values. They should all be very close together and if one is off you'll know it pretty quickly. -
Road Trip, now have CEL with P0420
1. Mine turned out to be an exhaust leak between the exhaust manifold and downpipes on both sides. I used a cheap smoke tester and plugged it through the tail pipes(s) to find the leak between the up stream and down stream O2 sensors. After I fixed it, I cleared the adapations on GAP to let it... -
LR4 ARB Rear Locker is possible!
Aww, I misread it... Still just the front lockers. :rolleyes: -
LR4 ARB Rear Locker is possible!
Reviving my own thread, I know... I just noticed the ARB locker added the 5.0 V8 LR4s to the supported fitment on their website. https://store.arbusa.com/air-locker-differential-lr-discovery-3-4-fr-29-spl-rd217/?Year=2011&Make=Land%20Rover&Model=LR4 -
Checking oil level - immediately
I'd prefer an "ol school" dipstick, but this is way better than waiting a decade for it to register. :shot: -
Checking oil level - immediately
Tired of filling your oil and not knowing if it's enough or wanting to check your oil level immediately without starting/stopping and waiting 10-15 mins? Found this gem and it's THE best thing ever. -
