    Passenger valve cover leak. Where?

    Might want to check the oil filter housing gasket as well. It's a cheap part, but you can try tightening the bolts inside the housing to mate it better to the block.

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    You're absolutely right. Supercharger removal does not increase access to sparkplugs or fuel injectors. Best way to do both is to disassemble and remove battery boxes.

    Best Brand MAF and MAP Sensors

    Don't worry about Volvo vs Bosch. You should be good. If I remember right (I'm sorry, it has been a bit), you will have a lot more room if you remove the rear engine cover mount. It should be two, maybe three bolts. Take a picture so you can match orientation. Remove that piece and use a 1/4"...

    Best Brand MAF and MAP Sensors

    Ha! The rebel is now my wife's. I have a power wagon. I have been dumping more money into the power wagon than I promised I would... I do actually miss the LR4. Best vehicle I ever owned. You see that little LED light bar in the grill? That took the removal of 17 plastic fasteners, about...

    Best Brand MAF and MAP Sensors

    Glad you were able to get it out! They both should work. Mine was a Volvo sensor as well. When I ordered a new one, using that part number, a Volvo one was in the box lol.

    LR4 5.0L V8 MAP Sensor Replacement DIY

    Part numbers given in the other thread. In red, I circled the hole where the MAP sensor mounts. Feel around between the firewall and this location. Absolutely agree. I found it easier to remove the bolt, pull the sensor and harness above the intercooler to remove the connector.

    Different part numbers my friend. Here is the part number for the one on the back of the intake manifold: LR021587 Here is the one on the throttle body: LR087236

    Bosch are factory fit on the SCV6. The throttle body MAP sensor is the same, but the SCV6 has an additional MAP sensor on the back driver's side of the intake manifold.

    LR4 5.0L V8 MAP Sensor Replacement DIY

    There are two. One on the throttle body and one on the back of the intake manifold (driver's side).

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    You need to start the engine before you open the fill plug. Otherwise, a lot of fluid will come out. From cold, remove the transmission heat shield and LOOSEN fill plug slightly. Then start vehicle, remove plug, and start filling. Once it starts to drip, close fill plug and let it get up to...

    Aftermarket Valve Covers

    I'm not sure what inflation prices look like nowadays for labor and parts. Not having a supercharger will reduce labor costs (and some part costs) significantly. But, you give some back for the extra two injectors. I'm sorry. I forgot to answer your original question. I've never heard of an...

    Aftermarket Valve Covers

    Not sure if you have SCV6 or V8. My experience is with the SCV6. I had an Indy replace the passenger valve cover, I supplied all the parts, and it was still $900 in labor if I remember right. Regardless, and simplisticly, sometimes replacing just the PCV diaphragm doesn't fix the problem. I...

    MAF issues, reduced performance

    If you are hearing an air leak at the pcv valves, it could be a torn diaphragm. Wouldn't hurt to replace both. They are known to tear and leak. https://www.roverparts.com/emissions-control/pcv-valves-components/LR133579/

    Relocating the two hoses in the right rear wheel well

    Nope. Just mentioned that I did it in the bigger tires thread. Sorry, brother. However, that thread will help immensely. It will be clear once you pull the tire and fender liner.

    Relocating the two hoses in the right rear wheel well

    https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/lr3-4-rear-ac-line-relocation.143822/ This is what I used. Super easy. Very minute coolant loss. Make sure to blast the REAR and front heat while bleeding. I'm sure I have a post on here somewhere about it. If I can find it I will repost

    MAF issues, reduced performance

    100% accurate. Even reviewing LTFTs that you provided show you're running rich. The ECU is trying to reduce the amount of fuel. Either the engine is getting less O2 than metered by the MAF, your intake air sensor and MAP is telling the ECU that the air is denser than it is, or your injectors...

    Replaced rear diff pinion seal, drive shaft and breather

    I'm sorry I missed this! I honestly don't remember. Probably about two hours start to finish. Tips: - buy a silver sharpie and paint pens. You will want to mark orientation of everything. Driveshaft bolts and orientation specifically. I would also label the bolt holes by number on the drive...

    Track width change from rim/tyre change

    I'll start the fun. It's been a while since I've dug into the wheel / tire stuff. If I remember right, the compos have a lower offset to clear larger tires. While I don't remember it being a lot (+.5") the tires would be the biggest variable. I would safe oversizing doesn't necessarily change...

    Rear Drive Shaft Replacement

    I replaced mine with GKN. No complaints. One inch of play is subjective. It depends how much force you are putting on the carrier bearing to cause deflection.. that being said, I am not sure if the deflection force is written anywhere. If you have no drive line noise; and it isn't dropping...

    First time front hub replacement and pic of damaged threads with advice needed.

    Some suspension nuts cut the thread as they are tightened. This prevents them from loosening. I've never seen one used on an axle, but it's possible. Was the axle loose inside the wheel bearing. I.e. did the wheel bearing slide out fairly easily? This could indicate that you had slack between...

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    May need a software update, brother. Worth calling the dealer to see if your VIN is part of a PCM update strategy. Other than that, I would look at the post-CAT O2 sensors. Also, with the engine running, open the oil cap. If there is vacuum, and you idle changes, your PCV membrane is probably...

    What should I strip off this LR3 for spare parts for my LR4?

    Wheel arch trim--fender flares. Matte black is better than body color IMO.
