2016 LR4 Dead... need help!
Uhh careful. Rapid charging can cause off gassing and explosions. -

2016 LR4 Dead... need help!
These batteries need regular trickle charging. The smart alternator does not keep the voltage up -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
BTW. Thanks to Rover Range hanging around these forums. Having an actual JLR technician around is gold. GOLD! -

Threshold scratches....the ocd in me
Could have fixed that with a felt marker in 10 seconds. -

Lr4 Brakes
There is a VIN split on rear brakes for the 2010s although I believe it has more to do with pad thickness -

Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
Unless that greasy mess is hitting the ground I would ignore it and run a high mileage oil to see if that will swell the seal enough to stop the leak. -

Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
Yes. A brittle filter cartridge o-ring can cause a leak down the front mimicking a vacuum/valve cover leak. -

Cable hanging down (damaged) from my rear passenger wheel well (Update: Resolved!)
In all reality if you look at your wheels 1-2 times a year these sensors are not needed. Just added complexity and cost. -

Alternative sound system
Are your third row seats a different colour than row 1&2? -

Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
Great. Try the Mobil1 EP high mileage version and see if that stops the leaking/weeping. Cheap option before committing to surgery. -

2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
The writing was on the wall for Jaguar. The special edition "performance" sedans were not refined enough to handle the German beasts and the Luxury cruisers were nowhere near the refinement/durability level of Lexus. The got hammered on both ends. -

2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
Nothing wrong with the Jags but you can really see/feel/experience that they didn't have the $$$ or the engineering prowess of the Germans when developing their cars. What is surprising is how well the LR3 came out although it did need to be reworked (LR4) to sort all of the quirks. Then they... -

Looking for thoughts on leak under engine block
If stock it could be your LCA hydro bushings giving up the ghost. They are oil filled. Need to get on the ground and get some pics. Feel around with your hands, it's the Land Rover Experience. :) -

2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
You drove across town to save $6? You might have used $5 getting there and back. :) -

Oil filter cap
It's the bypass valve in case the filter gets clogged the pressure will depress the spring and your engine will still get oil flow. Dirty oi is better than no oil. Wix, Mahle or Mann for me. Never used a Delco so dunno. -

2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
You can see in the video just how much more sophisticated the big Merc's chassis and suspension are. To be fair JLR simply didn't have the money to create anything better. Also that is a pretty old Jag chassis. I imagine the next gen may have been better? Anyhow that supercharged Merc engine... -

My brother was fanatical on the XJRs and owned a few nice examples. Then he stumbled across a good bargain CLS 55 AMG and it was game over for his Jag obsession. Jag XJR & CLS 55 AMG back to regular programming. Yeah that V6 sounds ok. -

Ok and sell for $15k? $96k / 130 months ish = $738/month. Not horrible. You pay to play.. -

ftillier's maintenance history
I think it is up to the user. When talking maintenance I just use whatever money I have plowed into it divided by the months of ownership or miles driven. With total cost of ownership I use that I paid for it minus an estimated current sale price to give a current running number. For instance I... -

ftillier's maintenance history
So you put about 17k in it since 2017? $17000/84 months = $202 US/ month for upkeep. Doesn't seem crazy bad.. I'm at $107 Cdn/month ($75ish US) but I do most my own work and am thrifty. -
