Where to get genuine crossover pipe for LR4?
I have a used one, old style, 60K miles, from the 2016, removed in 2022, looks perfect, would highly suggest new o-rings. No guarantees , but happy to send it to you for the cost of a USPS box. -
How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover
As I discuss in the video, blah, blah, don't mean to lecture - really... And not to start a knock down drag out kerfuffle... The folks at Superchargers on Line are absolutely great at helping you to determine the correct fill amount for your unit. Per my discussions with them, after providing... -
How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover
The coupling is likely wearing and would need to be replaced. On that video, go to 1:01:00 and watch the next little bit for the diagnostic. The supercharger section is at 1:43:20 My supercharger contains 90mL, that's about 3 oz. You used 16oz of oil in the supercharger??? We all know that... -
How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover
Those clips are LR011221, about $2 each at Rover. As long as you are in there replace the PCV valves and rebuild the supercharger. Here is the video I made, I hope it's useful. If anyone wants, I also have a video for the V8. -
Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons
Thanks, worked like a charm ! -
Rear view or Rearview Mirror Soft Buttons
Skipping the backstory, but finally programming the garage door opener buttons on Red Rover that I picked up about a year ago. Followed the directions, multiple times. Rover responds and everything looks like it should work But Garage door opener does not respond... Garage door opener ok... -
Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!
Well, if you are up for a long distance drive to get this done. I have had excellent service from the Rover dealership in Rochester NY. It can be hard to get into their schedule, but they are reliable. I am in Houston, don't even slow down here. 4 dealerships, 3 won't answer the phone and I... -
Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!
Working in a parking lot is never fun - cudo's for making that work! But since when are new tools a deterrent ?? New tools are one of the great joys !! -
Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!
When I did the crossover pipes, I was amazed at how much grit and dirt accumulated on the engine, even way down "inside" around the oil cooler. Both on the V8 and the V6. It's absolutely amazing. I performed no fewer than 4 separate vacuum cleanups along the way in that project - no way any... -
Front-end suspension rattle and banging is gone!
Did you personally do the rear crossover with your own hands? If so then you certainly can do all the other plumbing bits yourself as well. (And you could have done the control arms yourself as well - it's not terribly hard.) I have not done the timing chain, but my sense from this group is... -
2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay
Never chase a vendor - never. If they want the work they will contact you with a legitimate bid. Not that I ever plan to do it myself, :eek:,and just asking... But it seems to me that once one could handle the weight and physical reality of hoisting an engine that most of us on this group could... -
What jack do you recommend to store in your trunk?
I have the OEM jack of course, but the jack I would actually use is a 2 ton bottle jack. It stores very nicely in it's plastic case in the little side chambers in the way back. Here is a video I put together with some jacking tips and tricks. Hope it's useful. -
Lug Nuts Will Not Budge
But in the end, over tight lug nuts are not the fault of the vehicle, they are the fault of some ***** with an air gun. The days of "professional" mechanics knowing more than ourselves are long over, and it was probably never that way to start with... That's why we here on this group do as much... -
Lug Nuts Will Not Budge
That happened on our 1992 Isuzu Trooper. I could not get them off even with an impact wrench. Dealership claimed that they were overtightened during manufacture - who knows. Ever since then, after any time anyone touches the lugs, I take them all off and properly re-install to the correct... -
Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?
Per above, the backer nut on the sliders is thin, I use a 6" crescent wrench, it j u s t fits. And that 21mm 12 point. I know I drive everyone nuts, but here is the video I put together on this. The information you will find here is typical of any brake job, but I have all the torques, AND a... -
Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)
Not to discourage, but please see my comments above about EuroAmp. -
Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?
For the fluid flush I used the Rover recommended Castrol as sourced from AB, at that time, AB was by far the least expensive. -
Current Brake Pad and Rotor Recommendations?
It's the rear's, almost certainly - well at least as the fronts and rears were installed at about the same time the last time around. I replace the rotors every other time. -
Removing rear seat headrests?
Agreed, they have push in buttons on both posts, quite stiff. You need to push both in at the same time and then lever the headrest upwards, it can be a trick... I have removed my rear seat headrests for better visibility, they are stored in the way back in case I have passengers. I have seen... -
Cosmetic for sun damage?
My regime for the exterior. Painty Bits: Wash it Clay it Touch up paint as required - I'm a hack at this part... Klasse (German made liquid wax) - 3 coats Carnuba Wax (spray on) - 2 coats (takes out any swirls and is crazy shiny) Graphene - 1 coat - 303 Brand Carnuba - another 2 coats Light Up... -
Toll-road RDIF sticker on LR4 windshield
We do not have any issues with RFID window tags in NY State or in TX as applied to the standard heated windshield, or with the parking structure hanging tag that hangs on the rear view mirror. Most of the tags tell you exactly where they are to be applied - I would go with the instructions as... -
Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
Boring out the cylinders and increasing displacement is seriously beyond my experience and capabilities, but I can comment on using cheap injectors and coils. I changed all 6 in the Nissan Maxima and went the cheap route. Less than a month later I was back at it again and that time I used all... -
Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
Not to minimize, and not that I ever want to do the work, but for understanding... off the top of my head... a long block would then need, or need to be connected to - alternator, viscous fan, belts, intake and exhaust manifolds, supercharger depending on model year, coolant plumbing... -
Help! My LR4 Needs a New Engine & I Need Your Input
Everyone... And if this is a stupid question please let me know. Why not purchase the engine and do the work ourselves?? And in that case what configuration engine would we be getting? Short block? I don't know the term but is there such a thing as a "long" block. And in overview, for... -
LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2
80mph in the LR4 here in Houston means you are still in the driveway - well only exaggerating a little bit, no traffic cops here anymore and while I also baby it, 80mph is an every day occurrence. And for grins you could add a supercharger to that V8... Hey, the heart wants what it wants, if...
