    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    Holy cow, I’d def just to got a custom audio shop to replace whatever is needed to have a good setup. Specially since you have the dvd config too. Ok my end I think im going to go with one of the CarPlay modules and test it out this summer. For $400-$500 bucks I think it’s worth the gamble...

    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    At least I got to watch the indy mechanic do it, once I’ve seen it done I usually have the confidence to diy it in the future. At 500 bucks it wasn’t dirt cheap, but was way better than the dealer quote. Plus the mechanic squeezed me in and knocked it out same day. That was really nice.

    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    The timing chain concern is for V8 only right? Thinking ahead of what else I might want to have replaced whenever I do get the timing seal redone To answer Ktm, the leaks were considered seeps and not leaks by the mechanic. They did indicate that neither of these two place typically turn into...

    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    Got the vacuum pump installed and am back home from the indy shop. They knocked it out in a little less than hour and charged no labor, just ~$500 for parts + oil. If anything they think it's barely a seep on the timing cover on the passenger side, or possibly residual oil spray from what was...

    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    First quote from indy shop is ~$500 total for vacuum pump, and $2k - $2.5k for the valve cover. They can do the vacuum pump today, but not the valve cover till next month. I'm leaning towards getting the vacuum pump done (which they says has the potential to leak the most since it's lower) and...

    2014 LR4 SCV6 - oil leaking from vacuum pump and upper timing cover on passenger side

    Hey all, looks like my LR4 is running into some of the expected SDV6 oil leak issues. I've had spotting on the driveway, from the passenger side of the skid plate. Took it to the dealer and they said the vacuum pump is leaking and upon further inspection the upper timing cover is leaking as...

    Every Fault Known To Man

    I was close to switching out my alternator. Dealer price was 1900 just for the hardware, Indy shop was 300 :-/

    Preventative maintenance recommendation for a 9 year old LR4 w/52k miles

    Whelp, it was a PCV bleeder hose. $90 plastic hose sitting on top of the engine was cracked and sucking in air. Popped off the old one and installed the new one, no tools even required.

    Preventative maintenance recommendation for a 9 year old LR4 w/52k miles

    I've had the vehicle back for 6 days and heard this noise last night. Started as what sounded like a small electric hum / whine that we could hear driving. After getting home and sitting idle it got really loud. At first I thought it was a belt, but it doesn't sound like the usual belt scream I...

    Preventative maintenance recommendation for a 9 year old LR4 w/52k miles

    They thought it may be the brake vacuum pump, but after inspection that wasn’t leaking. Def keeping my eye on it.

    Preventative maintenance recommendation for a 9 year old LR4 w/52k miles

    I also have super minor oil spotting on my driveway. Like really minor as in a few spots every few weeks. The skid plate itself actually looks a bit wetter on the passenger side than the driver side. Usually after a long drive a few drops come down near the passenger side from the skid plate...

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    Now that I think of it, I think I'm hitting that lower full gas threshold too. Just filled up from close to having the empty warning light come on and it was right around 17 gallons (or just under). Used to get close to 19 pre-recall work.

    Preventative maintenance recommendation for a 9 year old LR4 w/52k miles

    Hey all, Generally I'm feeling the urge to replace the at risk coolant system items, but I have some thoughts given that my vehicle is almost 10 years old yet has just 52k miles on it. Overall the vehicle is driven less than 6k miles a year, almost exclusively on flat paved roads, and garaged...

    TOYO AT3 255/55/19

    Oh, one other detail that conflicted me, the torque setting. I purchased and installed at discount tire as this size of tire was apparently out of stock from other places. I asked about the torque setting as the manual says 98 lb.ft (133 Nm). Was told discount tire must go by the current...

    TOYO AT3 255/55/19

    Got 5 Toyo at3 255/60/19 tires installed this am. Happy with the look and feel in a brief drive. As noted here, it was a bit of a pill getting the spare in. Needed an extra set of hands to slowly ***** (lol typo’d winch and got shamed) the tire up while I was underneath finagling the wheel...

    TOYO AT3 255/55/19

    Thanks again folks. Getting ready to pull the trigger on 5 Toyos (OPEN COUNTRY A/T III, 255 /60 R19 113H XL BSW). Interestingly, the online vehicle sizing tire sites all seem to indicate that my vehicle needs the 255 /55 R19 size. If you all didn't confirm that a good number of folks are...

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    Interestingly my LR4 started smelling of gas just months after I got the notice that parts were available for the recall. Took it to the north Austin dealer last August. Recall work went fine, no issue or smell of gas after. They did leave me short 1/4 tank of gas as they had to empty some to...

    TOYO AT3 255/55/19

    Super helpful, thank you ftillier! I just measured and with stock wheels I have about 3" - 3.5" to spare on the garage entrance height (have ext roof rails + OEM cross bars). So while it'll be a closer fit, I'm thinking I'll be able to swing it. Having the spare fit in the POR space is...

    TOYO AT3 255/55/19

    Hey all, sorry for raising this from the dead, but it's about the exact tire I'm looking to buy and figured it best to piggy back off it. I've been tempted to get 18" compos for a loooong time, but think I'm going to stick with my 19" OEM rims as they look way nicer (imo), lower cost ofc, and I...

    At Long Last... Modern head unit!

    Hey all, any updates on adding any of the CarPlay units from this thread to our LR4s? This is the only modification / upgrade I've wanted to do to my LR4 for years, and it's horrid to have only sketchy no-name install kits as our choice. Painful.

    New Lr4 getting brake squeek like Parking Brake not fully released

    I believe I had the same problem at 6700 miles on my MY14. http://www.landroverworld.org/threads/2014-lr4-metal-in-brake-pad-causes-squeal.26944/ The solution was the dealer took apart and reassembled the parking break - I haven't had a squeal since then (now at 15k miles). BTW, I did manage...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Way on the other side of the fence then most of you. :aetsch: I like the way it looks! I've always enjoyed the RR look, and this looks closer to that.
