    Unexpected LR4 project

    Fact! Don't feel bad for me, I'm not an average buyer. I buy lots of salvage or mechanically damaged vehicles. Despite what YouTubers will have you believe, when you play this game you don't always make thousands on a flip. Sometimes you miss a detail or some hidden damage and you lose...

    2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay

    It is not uncommon for businesses that don't want to take a job to provide a high quote (don't ask how I know). From their POV, either you choose not to do it or pay enough to make it worth their effort. With a quote for ~$8k in labor and ~$3k in unspecified parts + the cost of the engine, you...

    Third row seats

    I was out working on the LR4 today so I took some pics. Below are the plastic trims in the cargo area w/ the seatbelts: Below are the latches for the seats. You'll need the whole carpeted piece for each side because the lap belt comes through a slot in them too.

    SCV6 Crankshaft Torque and Sequence

    Just checked the workshop manual I have and it doesn't have a spec either, sorry. Maybe try a manual for a Jaguar AJ126?

    2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay

    Not a vehicle similar to the LR4, an LR4 of the same year with similar options, mileage, etc.

    Unexpected LR4 project

    I figured I'd provide an update on this field repair for anyone who's interested. I've put about 3000 miles on it since the repair, including a couple six hour trips. Believe it or not, the oil level has stayed rock solid and there are no signs of leaks. Coolant system is tight, no leaks...

    Third row seats

    It's not quite as straightforward as you may think, but still doable. You will also need some plastic trim that goes in between the 3rd row seats, and the R & L trim panels in the cargo area are different. The non-3rd row panels don't have a place for the seatbelt bolts. Not as important, but...

    2013 LR4 with overheated engine...what would you pay

    It would be worth more when it is done, yes. That wasn't the question though. I buy a lot of broken or salvage vehicles and was sharing one of the methods I use to price vehicles in worse-than-rough condition. I try to buy vehicles at a price that allows me to be into it for less than fair...

    Limp mode and found two weird connections that are not connected to anything

    Like ftillier, I recommend the GAP IID tool if you plan to keep the vehicle long-term.

    Limp mode and found two weird connections that are not connected to anything

    Did you use an OEM sensor or ebay/amazon sensor? Only asking because sometimes you can get away with cheaper sensors but the cheaper MAP, MAF, and CPS sensors tend to not work well. If you have a GAP tool, or any OBD tool that does live data, check your short term fuel trims. If they are...

    LR4 Owner Considering Disco 2

    I wouldn't buy one to drive in its original form due to the reliability issues. I have been looking at Disco 1&2s lately as a platform for an LSx/6L80 swap though

    Strange AC Fault

    - water only on top of the floormat = cowl leak issue, as stated by FujiDisco, or sunroof glass/seal issue - water under the floormat or on the pillars/kick panel area = sunroof drain Clogged sunroof drains will not usually pool up on top of the floormat. They leak down through the A & B...

    Recharge air conditioning

    You'll need the following at a minimum: -A/C valve core tool -vacuum pump -manifold gauges I am not an expert at A/C, but I have done it on my own vehicles several times. Below is how I do it, YMMV. Replace the drier in the system Connect the BLUE hose to the low side service port. Connect...

    Recharge air conditioning

    24 oz. of R-1234yf R-1234yf also requires different oil You'll need adapters for your gauge manifold if they're R-134.

    2013 LR4 Rear Axle Fault, Stability control not available, Emergency brake assist not available, HDC not available system fault

    Start by troubleshooting hard codes like powertrain codes (P-codes). "U" codes are communication codes, usually caused by the underlying fault. P186D is a fault in the rear diff motor, actuator, or solenoid.

    DIY Cargo/Sleeping platform

    Yes, even with the plywood mounted I can easily lift it in/out by myself. The spare and 3rd row seats were why I wanted something easy to put in/remove.

    Restricted Performance

    Sorry, looks like GAP doesn't have the TB relearn function, its on my Autel. You can go into GAP and clear the ECM adaptations which will essentially do the same thing, except it clears all adaptations not just the TB. You'll have to drive it for awhile to get the ECM to relearn all the...

    Removing D Pillar Trim

    If I recall correctly, it doesn't pull up and out. You have to loosen the lower trim because there are 2 plastic clips on the lower side that pull straight out toward the front of the vehicle, not up & out.

    Restricted Performance

    Yes. If that doesn't work, follow the same troubleshooting steps for the accelerator pedal assy.

    DIY Cargo/Sleeping platform

    That is just the platform for the cargo area, I'm making an add-on for when the back seats are down. with both pieces, it gets you ~72" from the hatch to the back of the first row seats (depending on how far back you drive). If you moved the first row of seats all the way forward you *might*...

    DIY Cargo/Sleeping platform

    Here's what it looks like installed: The whole setup is very light. Even with the plywood, I can easily take it in and out by myself. without the wood attached, you can carry it around with one hand. Last step is to get some eye bolts and turnbuckles to secure it to the D-rings on the...
