Proud new owner of a 2011 LR4 HSE with 127k miles here. Wife and I loved the thing from the moment we looked at our first one and for some reason had never considered before now. Engineer by profession (but rookie mechanic) and figured anything in our price range was going to need work, why not get something we would be excited to work on.
After reading through this forum since we bought I have been putting together a list of things to do to maximize the life. I have no records of what has been done and currently trying to decide if there are things that I should just go ahead and change out even though might have already been done or try to figure out if the part seems like it was already changed and in good shape. On the surface everything appears fine, no check engine codes or strange sounds.
Based on my findings, I am thinking to go ahead and have the water pump, cross over hoses and timing chain guides replaced regardless of condition. Also already ordered my GAP IID as need a new key but understand it will be very useful down the road too.
Belts and timing chain seem to be ok, belts by feel and inspection, timing chain by sound and engine performance. Air suspension system is performing as expected currently so no plans to do anything to it now.
I would be very interested in what the seasoned owners in here think of my plan. Thanks in advance!
