    Water pump ******

    Any feedback on all those new metals added to our various systems, is that brass fitting causing any problems that anyone knows about?

    Water pump ******

    I assume you are talking about that little plastic/brass bit... It should spin easily, but should not be easy to just pull out. That little black ring on the water pump must be pushed in to allow the fitting to be pulled out. It cannot come out on it's own. Did you put it in far enough (ha, ha...

    Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline

    Agreed, that your vehicle very possibly came with Hitachi software and AMK hardware. Mine was, and I have seen several other instances. However, I did not have any issues with that - but who knows.... But it sounds more like the valve on the exhaust, or something plugging the exhaust line than...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    My best description of that smell is nasty old ear wax. Really a strange unpleasant odor. I got out 85mL and put back 85mL, no issues after about 10K miles.

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    I am about to begin the 6 speed procedure on the 2013. I am hoping to do a fluid flush rather than a simple drain and fill, which means I need to open up the transmission fluid cooler lines. The easiest spot is at the transmission cooler, super easy to access. Does anyone know the torque...

    Fluids change after 9 years?

    I would go ahead and change everything - of course only OEM fluids... Don;t overlook coolant as well. I did pick up somewhere on this forum NOT to change the adaptation values for an ATF fluid change, that adaptation values should be changed only when mechanicals are changed. At least that's...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    If you did a simple filter/pan swap I believe the amount to have on hand is 7 liters. If you dropped the mechatronic and did a transmission cooler flush then it depends on how much you got out, but a dry fill is 9.9 liters.

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Actually, I have them both handy. The document is for the 6 speed and is from the ZF Repair Manual. The photo is for the 8 speed when I did the job a couple years ago. The original reference is hard to locate quickly, but ZF wants them dis-assembled in reverse order to assembly, i.e. start at...

    Headlight bulb recommendation needed

    I have learned that OEM bulbs last much longer than anything we can purchase anywhere else, so long that they more than pay for themselves. And that includes all the major brand name bulb manufacturers. We run the OEM Xenon bulbs.

    Is this a failing crossover pipe?

    Are you sure it's coolant odor?? My 2016 has a strange vinegar odor in the HVAC system at times - not coolant, but have never really properly diagnosed it.

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    I have the kit from Astro, it has the correct cap for the coolant reservoir. For what you get it's overpriced as it is built for casual use, but it's been ok so far...
