    Coolant Crossover Pipe Leaking? Found an EASY way to tell!

    100% agree! I have one that that plugs into my phone and runs off an app; super cheap <$20 with color picture. I did the exact same thing once I had replaced my pipes to check for leaks. Here’s what I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PBF6DX5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_dl_GWXBJK7NZS3JRFE6N53B

    Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

    They only issue I had was do to my own error of routing the belt under a pulley instead of over. It was fine for several hundred miles until the belt stretched and started rubbing on the bracket causing a squeal. Just glad I caught it before it broke. The sc belt will stretch and loosen up...

    Considering an LR4. Would you buy one at 100k mileage?

    Me personally, I’d only be interested in something with 100k+ on the clock if it was 1-cheap to fix or 2-for recreation use. I love my LR4 but wouldn’t pay the $15-20k that people want for one with that mileage and/or age, and it sure doesn’t qualify as cheap to fix. I like to get my used cars...

    The Great Engine Oil Debate

    Just got back my second analysis from Blackstone; seems the liqui moly LR spec is doing a good job. Both of my samples had roughly 5k mi. on them, but I did go 7k in between one time. I mainly switched back to 5k for time purposes since I’m around 10k annually.

    Adding Adaptive Cruise to LR4

    Interestingly I saw this LR4 for sale in town with the ACC option. although they don’t have it listed as a feature, you can see the controls for it. First one I’ve seen with it actually. Did it come on all Lux vehicles or was it still an add on feature? 2015 Land Rover LR4 4WD 4dr LUX...

    Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

    There is a video out there on the YouTube’s about replacing it on the jag platform; it’s easier on the LR, pretty straightforward. I think I just took the fan off, but looking back I think if you pull the shroud too then you could probably get an impact on them. Otherwise I put one socket on the...

    Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

    @hickersb i think it’s more a CYA on their end; it takes like 5 min. to do everything and I’ve never hooked up a charger

    Particulate on Valves - HELP!!

    I’ve used the CRC stuff (it came in a GDI cleaning kit) with no negative effects. I’ve also used the Berryman kit with no side effects. Now I can’t tell you how good they work cause I haven’t inspected the back of the valves, but I figure it’s better than not using anything. CRC kit: CRC GDI...

    Spark Plug Gapping

    Don’t these take iridium or platinum plugs? I didn’t think you you gap them anymore than what was set, but maybe you get a set that has a different gap and matches the thread pitch/length etc.

    Adding Adaptive Cruise to LR4

    I found this info from gap about adding ACC: https://www.gap-diagnostic.com/avada_faq/retrofitting-adaptive-cruise-control/ Do you have a p/n for the module that fits the LR4? I couldn’t find one through the parts fiche

    Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

    @hickersb negative on the transmission tune; mainly because it seems more like a Jag/RR/RRS thing than a LR4 thing. I’m not driving my big square box real aggressive and certainly wouldn’t do a drag pull. At this point I’m still really satisfied with how things are shifting, but maybe if I...

    Eco mode and starters

    That’s always been my take as well. I’m sure since a lot of manufacturers are going to smaller displacement engines with turbos, that the strain is not as bad as cold cranking a v8 or v6. But still, As someone who does the majority of my own repairs and service, I’d rather not be replacing...

    Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

    VAP's black Friday sale is going on now; Lower Pulley and Tune for $1454.25 (reg. $1939). Transmission Tune is on sale as well I also talked to Stuart yesterday who said they have an upper pulley coming out January-ish that is 58mm (stock is 62mm) to add a little more boost. I believe it's 6%...

    Wet cabin air filter

    After replacing the cowl this weekend I’m confident that the issue was a result of the cowl “warping” where it meets the windshield. The water separator in the illustration is like a trough that diverts water away from the fan inlet; mine was still connected like it should, but I could see...

    Wet cabin air filter

    I’ll look while I have it apart to see. It looks like #2 on the illustration is what may be the issue or there abouts.

    Wet cabin air filter

    After looking at it some more I can see where the cowl is buckling up in a couple of places, so I’ve ordered a new cowl and wiper arms since the originals are pretty faded. The cowl makes sense logically since it’s right above the blower fan and cabin filter, but I can’t really put together how...

    Wet cabin air filter

    So I got home and noticed some water on my floor rubber floor mats. I did go through the car wash earlier so my first thought was sunroof drains, but my carpet was not wet and the water on the mat was not very much. Digging further led me to drop the glove box where a saw wetness on the bottom...

    Someone to contact about swear filters?

    Weird vibration

    Update** After testing various things, the culprit seems to be parking brake related. I rarely used the e-brake until recently when we purchased a new home with a slope driveway. Each time we parked we engaged the e-brake. That when I started noticing the issue. Sometimes it would be miles...

    Weird vibration

    @Billy Bignutz Negative, never seen off-road and no recent washes. I normally use a touchless wash weekly and have never had that issue after.

    Weird vibration

    Yep, just like this. I rarely use the parking brake, so I'm not sure if that would be an issue out of the blue. I also checked the temp of the brakes with my hand to check for a sticking caliper or the like; wheels weren't even warm and no heat or smell coming from any corner. Any wheel...

    Weird vibration

    I thought about a balance problem, but it didn't reoccur once I started moving again. Took the interstate home later with no issues. I figured I was due for control arm bushes about now.

    Weird vibration

    So I was cruising down the interstate yesterday about 80mph and out of no where the whole car starts shaking. It was almost like I was driving over rumble strips except I was in the left middle lane of a 4 lane. I couldn't feel it in the wheel, but like all over. Pulled off to the shoulder and...
