    LR4 Gas V6 Catalytic Converter Replacement

    It has been a bit since I've done this. I cut one of O2 sensor wire hangers back. Removed the transmission cross member. Removed the passenger side cat. Removed driver's side cat. I did this on my back in the driveway.

    Tracking down Bolt info (SOLVED)

    For some random bits I've had good luck on eBay. I needed just the plastic clips for the bottom of a window. JLR would only sell the whole assembly. I messaged a seller asking for just the clips and we were able to make a deal.

    Oil level sensor leaking

    Service manual? YouTube? Y'all don't just start removing fasteners and figure it out as you go? ;)

    Showoff Your LR4

    I loved having the tank out in the mountain west. I topped off on gas before entering Yellowstone and pretty much drove around for a week and didn't refuel until I was in Jackson. Helped a lot on the interstate too. Half as many fuel stops keeps you moving right along. If we are dealing with...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect?

    Last time I was in the parts store I noticed that they don't make a high mileage version of 0w40. There's a joke in there somewhere.

    Used SCV8 engine and trans assembly

    Want? Yes. Need? Well you see ... Have the time to give it the love and attention it deserves? Nope.

    LR4 in boneyard - what should I pluck?

    I learned that a baking soda slurry takes that rubbery coating off nicely. Are you in Massachusetts?

    How important is this foam? (LR4 spark plug change woes)

    The fuel injectors are noisy and it is there to cut down on NVH. I run no injector covers, no main cover*, and no hood insulation. *On some vehicles (Audi?) that foam engine cover prevents the paint on the hood from overheating.

    How important is this foam? (LR4 spark plug change woes)

    I just never put mine back.

    Banging/clunk when accelerating from coasting or letting off gas (2015, 8 speed, LR4/Discovery 4)

    Don't forget to check the intermediate bearing on the rear tail shaft.

    Exhaust leak

    I have not had the problem. If you're doing it yourself the torque spec is a good bit lower than you'd expect.

    Complete...and I mean complete lr4 teardown and rebuild

    Find someone with a 3d scanner and get a sheet of plywood cut to fit. Put some neoprene rubber on the backside and an array of T-nuts for anchor points.

    Coolant Issue driving me crazy

    I'm not surprised that some mechanics can do this. Skinny arms and an over the top truck engine creeper should do the trick.

    Window Rattled & Dislodged

    Local dealer told me that the clips come with the whole window. I'll be calling a couple of junkyards on Monday. $300 for two plastic clips is nuts.

    Showoff Your LR4

    I got my LR4 back a couple of days ago. 8199 miles at 16.1mpg from Massachusetts to Utah to all around and back. Things that went wrong - Aux fuel tank fuse holder fell apart. Easy enough to fix. - Driver's window clip broke. - P026A "charge air cooler efficiency below threshold.". This...

    Window Rattled & Dislodged

    Anyone know the part number for this plastic clip? One of the bolts rattled loose and the remaining clip broke from the strain.

    Prepping for SCV6 120k mi service

    I used one when I put my reman engine in. Can't tell you how many degrees it runs cooler or how much quicker the oil temp drops after a big hill.

    Prepping for SCV6 120k mi service

    FYI, if you remove the oil cooler during any service the cooler from the scV8 fits. It has a few more layers to the heat exchanger, whether it is worth it is debatable.

    GAP iiD USE/HELP

    How was the quality of the Davico? I bought one for my old Volvo and had to go over the welds with my stick welder. I chose factory when my LR4 needed a new cat because I didn't want to be messing around with a poorly fitting unit on my back in the driveway.

    oil leak onto exhaust manifold

    What is missed by a lot of people is that they saved a ton of money by not having to do crash testing again with the "new" V6.

    Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading

    You may want to consider changing out the idlers and tensioners while you are right there. The slippery slope of the parts cannon can add up fast. In my mind, new belts equals new idlers and tensioners.

    LR4 Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Services and Replacement

    Is this a servo that has hit its limit of travel?

    Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading

    These are the kind of things I get all wrapped around the axle in my mind and start second guessing myself.

    Coolant Smell After Driving and Temperature Gauge Reading

    I successfully removed the whole engine with the AC condenser left intact. You can get the radiator out while leaving that other stuff, it is fiddly though. If you are replacing the radiator, I'd also replace the charge air cooler. I like vacuum filling through the reservoir tank, make sure...
