    I think I have officially replaced every hose ever made for my LR4. Exhausting search for my latest leak.

    Yeah, these engines have very complex coolant circuits. All possible leaking spots that come to mind: -Front and rear crossover pipes (sure you replaced those already) -Water pump housing to engine block (bolts get corroded very easily here, need to tap the holes again when replacing these...

    ...sat holding a vacuum for almost 8 hours....no leaks! So, here's where everything went awry.... I TOTALLY thought I had already bought coolant for it....buuuuuut, I totally didn't have it, or couldn't find it. Soooooo, after vacuuming everything down, I had to remove the tool and...

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    ...disconnected. I would check battery voltage with dvm. if 12.5 or so or better then check the main ground line to the block. It is known to corrode and if you spilled coolant on it that could be the issue. remove the securing bolt and clean the ring terminal and clean the mounting area as well.

    Broken coolant return nipple and fix

    I’d literally just replaced the broken plastic bleeder tee and then immediately proceeded to break the coolant return nipple from the top of the radiator, by merely looking at it, it seems. After 15 years and 140k it seems the plastic has turned to mush. I’ve made a temporary fix by threading...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    ...At 251,000 it experienced a transmission failure and replacement. The I clicked on a few more 200k cars. They either had new chains and coolant as maintenance, or were dead due to coolant and chains. So we're on the right track. "Fluids" is also on the list... For ATF, Mercon LV or...

    2011 RR coolant smell but no leak

    This is driving me nuts. My wife's 2011 RR Autobiography Black S/C smells like coolant, but there are no visible leaks. This is predominantly on the driver's side that I can smell it. I have been poking around for quite some time looking and have found nothing. Finally after months of this...

    Loosing a little bit of coolant

    I mixed the Land Rover coolant with Dexcool and it seemed fine. Is there any damage that occurs from doing that? I actually liked it better with Dexcool because it has a stronger pink color that contrasted well with the reservoir and it was quicker to spot the fluid level.

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    I changed out the front crossover pipe after discovering a coolant leak on my 2012 RR Sport. Started it up fine but then had the "restricted performance" message come on. After some research, we then went through the steps to relieve the air from the coolant system. Followed the steps of the...

    LR4 ... radiator leak?

    Just picked up a 13 HD with 88K on the clock. Drove it from Colorado to Minnesota without issue. Now it's sprung a coolant leak. Appears to be under the radiator on the passenger size. I see coolant dripping down the crossmember under the radiator that's in front of the skid plate under the...

    hard to say from the picture but i normally don’t take chances with coolant, brake or fuel lines. if it’s suspicious, replace it.

    Adding Pentofrost SF to OEM LR Coolant?

    How long did it take to do the cross overs? I need to do mine. Did you need special tools?

    Loosing a little bit of coolant

    I smell coolant here and there on my truck, I added maybe a quart of it 2 years ago and it hasn’t lost any since.

    2011 LR4 - preemptive coolant repairs

    Just my 2 cents: I just had the mysterious baseball sized wetspot on the driveway. I traced it to a momentary seep out the thermostat housing seam during warmup. I saw it happen, only from a cold start, looking up from below with the small steel protection panel removed. 66k miles. Gonna wait...

    Loosing a little bit of coolant

    I smelt burning coolant in my LR4 while offroading the other day, but the level was the same the next day. Historically, I've been finding my leaks by looking for wet areas and tracing back to the source. A black light would be sweet.

    Cylinder 5 Misfire

    ...a bunch of grime at the top of the cylinder which may look like pitting in my terrible video. I'll go in for another look. I doubt that's coolant, I believe it's leftover oil from the wet compression test- I'm positive I squirted too much in there, and I got a lot of smoke out the exhaust...

    Low coolant warning

    2011 V8 5.0L HSE Lux. Start the truck and low coolant warning light was on. Then I opened the hood to check (actually I’ve seen nothing wrong with fluid level by my eyes) and closed the hood. Got back and the light was gone.... I’m very confused...any advices? TIA

    Rough 5-4 change ZF6

    ...anything to drive it higher in the RPM range, its better for it, that is where the power is and it will be easier on your transmission and coolant system. All that shifting generates heat just to keep it in a higher gear momentarily. On the grades I know about its easier, but if you can see...

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    Drop the skid plate and check the skid plate itself. Probably get a better look at the engine too.

    ...on never letting these things overheat. I will be installing separate temp gauges on my A-pillars to keep an eye on things. I am also planning on swapping out the fan for an electric fan setup and adding a second low coolant light. Is there anything else I might be missing? How is yours...
