    $21,642.73. That is what I paid for mine. Factory new engine, upgrade front an rear crossover pipes, new thermostat, spark plugs, fuel injectthors, waterpump, motor mounts, , pretty much everything. Dealership was about $8500.00 less than other dealerships and 1 independent.

    2012 LR4 Speaker Replacement

    Godard? Jave the same problem with left and right doors on 2014. Both tweak from being blown, mostly with audio books or telephone speech, very annoying. Both have been replaced once. Does anyone know a higher wattage/better quality speakers to avoid having to do this again?

    Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues

    Don't even consider rebuilding half a motir at that age. Just do a complete rebuild. Having a brand new (or good as new rebuild) on a vehicle in excellent conditions, is golden. Rebuilding one bank now, and possibly repeating it on the other side later, will be a financial waste. The engine and...

    Considering a 2014 LR4 Lux Package.... Need Some Advice

    I have the same, now with 110k miles. I have loved it, and it is my daily driver, about 20k a year, also my service truck. ABSOLUTELY change the crossover pipes, front and rear. Now. Dont wait for the usual 75k reccomendations, as you know it will have to be done. Just do it. Water pump will...

    2016 LR4 SCV6 Coolant Issues

    Curt hokanson, I looked at all options, used, rebuilt, even a salvage titled LR with low mileage.. but got a new production factory engine, long block, with water pump, spark plugs, injectors, complete, for less than 10,000. So I just had the dealer install for the warranty. The total was just...

    2016 LR4 SCV6 Coolant Issues

    Coasting LR4... While I think your 2016 probably already has the newer style crossovers, look closely at then and make sure. If they have flat sides glued together along the length, then replace asap. Regardless of cost. The well known failures are between 50 and 80k m I kes per most comments...

    2016 LR4 SCV6 Coolant Issues

    I had no reason to suspect crossover pipes either, ... and then blew with no warning at 55 to 6 mph on a hill. Coolant gone and engine lost in less than 60 seconds. I strongly recommend that you invest in changing both front and REAR crossover pipes. Especially if they are the 2 piece fusion...

    Well crap!

    Chakadog... Change the front and REAR crossovers. Just do it. Before you even drive again. I had just had water pump replaced and cooling system serviced, dealer said all was fine, at 103000 miles. ... $21036.47 and new engine...runs great. Total engine failure at 65mph, in LESS THAN 1 MINUTE...

    Well crap!

    Update: so I negotiated a lot with the dealer (New dealer in town and really good!) They hot a new Factory complete engine for much less than expected. And a small contribution from the Insurance company, so wound up being about the same price as buying a salvage vehicle of remanufactured...

    Well crap!

    How many here have had problems resulting in repair expense from these? Please email me at [email protected]

    Well crap!

    It was 100% the crossover. I would encourage everyone above 70 to 80k miles, to change prophylactically...asap! Even at 400 to 600$, it is worth it. Good used engine is $8 to 12k plus labor. New engine $15 to 17k, and a reman in between. So $500 every 70k Mile's is nothing. And I will for sure...

    Well crap!

    Preliminary diagnosis is in fact, the coolant crossover failing, rapid loss of coolant at highway speed, rapid overheat warped valve covers enough to blow oil oil rapidly. Dealer says they have seen it and 50%, in driver stops immediately, can be repaired. I'm having them do a compression test...

    Well crap!

    Thanks for all your thoughts. I will keep the group posted. Just for info... The body and interior are pristine. Not good or great but virtually as new. Perfect dash leather everything. I have maintained a vehicle like this. All maintenance has been done as scheduled or early. Oil, air...

    Well crap!

    Well, I guess after 103599 miles of faithful and fairly trouble free service... I just joined the LR4 disaster club. Cruising along at 65 to 70, hear a slight ticking from under hood /floorboards. Looked back in RV mirror to see blue haze, immediately let off gas and limped over withing .25...

    3.0L SCV6 Timing belt change

    The timing chain/guide service is actually the same on the 5.0l as on the 3.0l. The service for the SC is the small coupler which couples the 2 screw sets together. Its not a big deal.

    What kit is reccommended for timing change kit on 20q4 LR4, 3.0L? I see several on line from $169.00 for an off brand up to $1100 for LR genuine. Several brands from $169 to $300. Does any one have long term experience as to price vs quality? I plan to keep the LR for a long time, currently...

    LR4 -> Defender anyone?

    The advert is footage taken from the Bond filming, not filmed specifically for advertising. Of course it is not normal driving, but it does show that the defender is indeed pretty tough.
