    Longevity and Investment

    I hear you about the engine troubles some have experienced…. preventative maintenance is everything. (knocking on head again, this week) Mine runs noisy, but perfectly. I do have the oil and filter changed every 5000 km. That should keep the premature wear at bay. A close friend with...

    i was thinking, have a look at the jaguarforums.com site. Especially the x150 forum. Many play with sdd and upload just the engine tuning components of the software… worth a shot.

    2012 LR4 coolant leak

    Its a little more specific... SAE 5W-20 Full Synthetic conforming to WSS-M2C925-A An example would be Castrol Edge Professional A1 or Motul 8100 ECO-LITE 5W-20. I believe its 8.0l with the filter change. The wrong oil and infrequent oil changes have been blamed for the premature timing chains...

    in a word…. “nope” I don’t think you’re pressing your luck if you keep up on maintenance. But please don’t use the word “investment” ;-)

    2012 LR4 coolant leak

    @CindyLR4 , welcome back! Sorry to hear of your loss. Now we are getting somewhere. You started this thread with the title “coolant leaking”. And it is possible that it is leaking from many places, though that would be very rare, indeed. Coolant can leak at the oil cooler. It can leak at...

    vibration at idle - motor mounts?

    +1 on @Longtrail ‘s suggestion. Looking forward to an answer from a pro, too. (@Rover Range , where are you?) The only way I know how to check a bushing or mount is to check for movement/play. And I do that with a pry bar. Would a scope/camera work while at idle? But I think you are have the...

    Looking to purchase timing chain tools

    We have a dust and water resistant engine and engine compartment… (Unless of course replacement parts are chinesium) I pressure wash my engine compartment all the time. I would just wash the soda off, afterwards. Truth be known, I do the jags too. Never had an issue in 25 years with any of my...

    2012 LR4 coolant leak

    precisely what I am insinuating. We need more information or we can dream up a whole boat load of possible causes and fixes.

    Side vent replacement on LR4

    I agree, from inside the top of the fender is best. Once one top tab is released, move on to the next. No grunting, no mess, nothing broken.

    2015 LR4 Head Gasket Replacement

    Perhaps a proper diagnosis from an LR specialist is in order before things start to get torn apart…. This estimate does not match the diagnosis given.

    2012 LR4 coolant leak

    @CindyLR4 , you have exposed a number of issues. Correct, the first thing to contend with is an overheating engine. But, I’m afraid you didn’t provide enough pertinent information for us. 1. I suppose your “overheated” light came on. Did you stop the vehicle immediately or did you wait until...

    2015 LR4 Head Gasket Replacement

    get a quote from the dealer. 118,000 with 5000 oil changes isn’t problematic on its own… provided all the servicing was done. still confused why the extra work is needed. Spark plugs should have been completed by now, of course. Exhaust manifold gasket? Why?. You state you are not a...

    2015 LR4 Head Gasket Replacement

    You were told a head gasket was blown… but I see a lot of other work prescribed that have nothing to do with a head gasket. Moreover, these prices look like dealer rates with dealer parts. Have you tried an Inde with dealer parts? Out of interest, how many miles on the vehicle? What average...

    yeah… in the jaguar forums many have swapped files and configurations around…. Do you know this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/ids_sdd-deep-dive-ids\xml\ivs-asbuilt-264411/ or this one: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xf-xfr-x250-44/disappointed-my-dyno-results-147772/

    P0305 Misfire - cylinder B1 (5)

    Those are not complete LR DTC codes. If you had the complete code (followed by a -XX) we might be closer to the issue. We really need to see ALL the codes.

    Charging System Fault

    Let your battery go untouched by any charging (including running the engine!) for 6 hours. most choose overnight. If it reads 12.4v or less, its done. Replace it. Also check that your generator (alternator in north american terms) is sufficiently charging the battery. At 158k kms, I’m...

    No fluid coming out when bleeding rear brakes

    Did you follow the instructions in the workshop manual for bleeding the brakes? Did you notice 3 key statements in the instructions: 1. the engine must be running. 2 the vehicle must be connected to LR diagnostic software. 3 there is a particular order of wheel that must be followed.
