    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    That little plastic piece is available in 2 ways that I know of. 1. In plastic from Rover, but you need to purchase that entire assembly, you cannot just purchase the plastic bit 2. In brass, there is another string on this website discussing. Not sure where to actually get one.

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    I second that, and I only use OEM fluids as well. I cannot understand the need to save a couple of $ on alternate vendors.

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    Reviews on Amazon and etc. are pretty much garbage. (But I still do look at them...) Even I can now recognize fake 1 star reviews. But, there are folks out there in YouTube land that make amazing side by side, detailed, data driven comparisons of all kinds of products. I would recommend...

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    As above, OEM coolant is UV active, no need for adding anything. Plenty of locations to examine, take your pick. Time to get dirty!

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Good Morning! On the 6 speed transmission, 6HP28 on the 2013 V8. i found an interesting set of websites. They take me down a rabbit hole of "you really should", but I hear my grandfathers voice in my head "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Looking for your opinions on dropping the mechatronic...

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I change out to new wipers on my daughters LR4 - because it's not local to me - once a year. The other two LR4's get new wipers at every 2 years, or whenever I remember, and I re-use the ones from my daughters truck that are only a year old.

    Seeking Specialty Torque Wrench

    I thought you knew me better than that... LOL !! That's how I grew up, best judgement, but I would be embarrassed to relate my success rate with valve covers - never got those right, on any number of vehicles, and back then I didn't have any funds for anything as fancy as a torque wrench. I...

    Seeking Specialty Torque Wrench

    That topeak one looks so suspiciously like the one that died on me.... I found a Prestcycle torque wrench, and I know Prestacycle is a good quality vendor, but you have to be able to see the display - no click function... I used a Prestacycle TorqKey on the crossover project on the 2016, only...

    Seeking Specialty Torque Wrench

    I am slowly getting ready to do the transmission pan on the 2015 and I know from my experience on the 2016 that this is the perfect tool for torquing the bolts, because it's small enough to get in there. BUT, the torque wrench I purchased was crazy expensive and the gears in the head lasted...

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I looked at a set of Bosch Icon wipers I have in the garage. There are NO markings on the wipers themselves. At least that I can see. So do them one at a time!!

    HD vs non-HD package LR4

    Thanks! I tried it with the 2013 and I get the entire list. Because I am working on the 2013 right now, I have what I need. Rear Axle Differential - Rear Axle Open Diff [027CB] If anyone finds a VIN decoder for 2014-2016, it would be most appreciated. Yes, I know I can crawl underneath and...

    HD vs non-HD package LR4

    When I use vindecoderz all I get is general information, I am not seeing any detail - in particular the rear differential. Is there something I am missing? This is all I am getting: Build Sheet Brand LAND ROVER Name LR4/Discovery 4 (GCAT) 2010- Vin_year 2015 Drive LHD Transmission...

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    Bosch sells them as drivers side and passengers side, two different wipers. This is the current Amazon description, current price $58 for the pair. BOSCH 22A22B ICON Beam Wiper Blades - Driver and Passenger Side - Set of 2 Blades (22A & 22B) You can also buy them separately.

    2015 LR4 Windshield Wipers

    I use Bosch in the front - make sure you have an A/B pair. And I use Rainex in the back - and I use a 1" longer blade than originally equipped.

    Please pardon if you already know this, but for those that may find this thread in the future... See video below. Watch from 53:50 to 57:00. Note exactly where that the thicker bit on the semi circle on the oil cooler tube engages in the block,there is a small "channel" in the block and the...

    Advice needed, stalling with P2279 (intake air system leak) 2012 LR4 HSE 5.0 138,xxx miles

    I can't say anything definitive, but feels like a fuel issue. My Austin Marina had a factory bad gas tank and the inner paint lining flaked off, plugging the in-line fuel filter. Was much the same kind of behaviour as you are describing. On the Marina, I got a fuel filter that could be taken...

    Is this a failing crossover pipe?

    At ALL times need to use coolant that is OAT compatible. OAT = Organic Acid Technology In an emergency I would use Prestone products. I always use Rover fluids exclusively. I know some will disagree, but I fail to see how saving pennies on other vendor products is cost effective - these things...

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    I did not re-read the entire string, perhaps this is mentioned. Did you do the water pump?? If so, are you aware that the original water pump in the 2013 and the water pump you will be purchasing now are different? And because of that difference, you ALSO need to replace the oil cooler tube -...
