    2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE

    If a Land Rover is not leaking oil, there something wrong with it. That’s how we know they’re still alive. Just FYI, minor oil leaks from the valve cover or timing cover are pretty common on these trucks. Pulling the valve cover requires pulling the injectors, so a lot of folks let minor...

    Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline

    I've read that degraded silica desiccant from the drier can start to clog the exhaust vent giving rise to this code. I wonder if being on a hill is causing loose desiccant to pile up in a way that blocks the vent.

    Back Crossover/Heater Manifold Repair

    I think you should be able to reach that back coolant temp sensor without taking the intake off, but you might need to remove the windshield cowling if you aren't taking off the intake. I have an SCV6 and did the whole job with the intake off, but I was thinking at the time that removing the...

    Looking for thoughts on leak under engine block

    Ha…my censored word was m-u-r-d-e-r …. should have known that would get censored.

    Looking for thoughts on leak under engine block

    Like a ****** mystery. All we see is what‘s left on the garage floor. If you need help identifying the fluid itself, you’ll have to let us know what it feels like and smells like, i.e., oily or watery, sweet smelling, burnt smelling, etc. Also, looks like it could have mixed with residue...

    Engine goes into reduced power mode

    Maybe VVT solenoids? Not an oiler device, but seems to fit the description. They adjust timing of the camshafts.

    There may be nothing you can do... P0016

    I didn’t read through the whole thread here, so apologies if it’s already been covered, but I think this could be VVT solenoids or cam positions sensors. I haven‘t changed either on mine, but I understand both are pretty easy to swap out. Personally - I’d be looking at the VVT first, but not...

    P0101 my latest gremlin after gassing up

    The fact that it occurs after refueling makes me think of the evap/purge system, and specifically the charcoal canister. If the purge valve is not sealing, or if the charcoal canister is saturated, you can get improper air/fuel ratios. I‘ve seen a number of reports of charcoal canister...

    Anyone end up buying their Grenadier order

    I’ll likely cancel my order. I really like the car, but no dealers in northern CA and no real plan to get service to people far from dealers. Plus, really p*ssed that they promised everyone that service manuals would be made available to consumers, and now they seem to be backing away from...

    Injector failure?

    Seems like fuel delivery is a logical place to start looking since it’s worse under load. I’d probably be thinking fuel pump before injector, but could be either. Too bad you can’t see fuel rail pressure or fuel trims. I also thought the gap tool could be used as a code reader on other LRs...

    2012 - Decreased power on incline

    I don’t think a bad vacuum pump really does much other than make smoke.

    Misfire cylinder 8

    Nevermind…I see that you mentioned switching them around. I guess valves are the only thing left.

    Misfire cylinder 8

    Fuel injector?

    2012 - Decreased power on incline

    One other thing (at the risk of stating the obvious) - make sure the air filters are clean. I guess that makes me think also of cleaning/testing the mafs. But I’d still look at fuel pressure/trims first if it were me.
