maintenance history since new 2013

Nope, timing chains are just fine. I've replaced just about everything else though. Rear air shocks are still original.

Thats’s love. Have you had the dealer do the work or an independent shop?

I think you’re asking for a little much.

Local independent shop. Between my 2004 D2 that I retired at 170k miles with a second bad engine and this LR4 with 123k miles, I've given this shop about $55k since 2009. Once I finally retire from Land Rovers I think they have to get me a gold watch.

If i had the sense of a billygoat id go get a cx70 but instead im steadfast on keeping 2013 lr4, 2007 hse, 2011 sc, and 08 Escalade running. Have owned all of them since new with a combined milage 491k!

I feel your pain, every time I feel like I got the car fully sorted another item comes up. I had planned on doing valve covers, upper and upper timing covers when all the sudden my alternator dies, I replace that and then notice while I’m down there that there’s a coolant leak coming from my radiator. Get the radiator sorted with my AC system which hasn’t worked right for years (prior shop used cheap parts, works great after ANOTHER condenser and compressor) oh the review I left on that shop… anyway, then today I notice that my tire ware on the rear is a little odd, everything on the rear is original and I’m at 147k now, sure enough it needs rear upper control arms. I’ll do them myself to save money. Still need to do those valve covers and timing covers, just putting it off because I have to pull the injectors. Still also need to change both diff fluids and the t-case fluid. I’ll be doing all of that myself as well, and hopefully then I’ll be able to hold my head above water for a little time.

Yep - not sure our disease is treatable. Ive owned my car since new so makes it even hard to throw in the towel. And ive never neglected any maintenance. Not sure how some people get to 300k without spending 75k in maintenance.
