Yes, this. @txfromwi has a highly detailed video explaining it: -
LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold
Yeah... I had a feeling this might happen at some point, but was hoping to get a few more years out of it before I put it out to pasture. Its such a beautiful vehicle. It never over-heated on me, always ran great. However, I bought it knowing it previously had an engine failure, which was... -
LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold
The results are in... exhaust gas test turned yellow pretty quick. I'm not happy. Looking for next steps to determine solution. I assume a compression test is in order, but hoping you guys can help me get a game plan together, as i may be out of my league on this one. -
LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold
Nightmare scenarios are head gasket and cracked block/head, for sure. I am just curious if I should perform the exhaust gas test or flush coolant to eliminate a potential air pocket issue first. What's strange is, when I started it up this morning, there was zero vapor cloud, with similar... -
LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold
Reviving this thread... I started the engine this morning and a large cloud of white smoke/vapor blew out of the exhaust pipes. That never happened before and it dissipated pretty quickly, so its not oil, and it stopped emitting any vapor at all after about 30 seconds. I have noticed that the... -
Going to be a fun weekend baselining all fluids and filters
Same here... Also, your LR4 looks a lot like one that hit BaT the other day... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2012-land-rover-lr4-19/ Edit: Didn't realize the silver grille surround was part of the limited edition package. Have not seen that before. -
Pulling injectors for valve cover gasket, can I avoid it?
I had a dealer tell me that my valve cover and vacuum booster were leaking oil. They wanted $5k to fix.. Turns out the oil filter cap wasn't screwed on tight enough and oil was leaking down the front of the engine. Dealerships just aren't incentivized to spend the time necessary to truly... -
2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
Interesting... Based on those three items, it looks like the cylinder head has been removed.. The question is, why? and by whom? -
2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
There is that... Sadly, I can't argue with you. Just waiting for the kids to graduate high school. -
2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
So funny... I don't know what it is about the inability to apply logic when fueling up, but we all occasionally do some strange things thinking we are "winning" by saving a few cents a gallon, when we really aren't. I still catch myself doing it every now and then out of principle.... I'm... -

Nice. I keep the same spreadsheet for mine, however, I deliberately chose not to include a cost column. I'm happier that way. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Unfortunately, I do not know the torque specs. But, I do know that I will be looking forward to one of your highly detailed videos on this procedure. -
Road Trip, now have CEL with P0420
Ok, I took it for a quick spin tonight to autozone and grabbed a bottle of Cataclean. After a bunch of research, I figured, what the hell... Poured it in the tank (had about 1/8th of a tank of gas), and within 2 miles, the CEL went off. Not even kidding. Drove for another 20 minutes, pretty... -
Road Trip, now have CEL with P0420
Possibly an injector... No misfires, but would I be able to tell if there is an injector problem using the GAP tool? O2 sensors are OEM, and I just cleaned the MAF's and MAP. -
Road Trip, now have CEL with P0420
Thanks @djkaosone. I'll give a smoke test a try. Curious, what the fix was for yours, and how did you access that area to fix it? The fuel trims seemed ok, +/- 3% for the most part, but I probably need to better educate myself on what is normal vs. abnormal and pay closer attention to any... -
Road Trip, now have CEL with P0420
So, I took a trip in the LR4 this weekend (about 200 miles in each direction), and on the homebound leg of the trip, I got a CEL with code P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1). Based on my research, it could be any number of things and will be pretty tricky to ultimately... -
LR4 brake issues
Just closing out my experience on this topic. Replaced Rotors and pads and greased caliper pins. Bought the Zimmerman rotors with the Akebono ceramic pads. Completely solved the shimmy issue. They had gotten progressively more warped by the day, to the point where the shimmy was constant... -
LR4 brake issues
The previous owner had all that work done... I have the receipts, but don't see the brands listed with the parts. Thats a good thought, I will take the wheels off and take a look at the disc surfaces and see if that could be the culprit. I realize these things eat brakes, but 11k miles seems... -
LR4 brake issues
I've developed a pretty wicked shimmy when I brake at highway speeds. To the point where it can be a little scary if you have to stop quickly. It only does it when I initially brake though... it goes away with continued braking. Trying to figure out if its warped rotors, sticking caliper... -
Coolant Leaking from behind rear wheel
You sir, are a supersleuth! That avatar pic was taken the day I bought it at the end of 2022 right after I drove it home from a car wash. So, that puddle is either drips finally making their way to the ground from the car wash, or the coolant leak has been there since I bought it. Oddly, I... -
Coolant Leaking from behind rear wheel
Does anyone know if coolant constantly runs through the rear heater core, no matter if the rear heat is on? Or, is there a valve that stops/starts coolant flow to the rear? -
2014 LR4 Leaking Coolant
The obvious questions are: How many miles on the vehicle? Have you replaced your crossover pipes, water pump, t-stat, etc.? My guess is the front crossover pipe cracked. Hope you don't need to drive it soon... with a leak like that, it should stay parked. -
Coolant Leaking from behind rear wheel
Can't see much from underneath... Muffler and heat shields in the way. But the drip is clearly making its way down, and dripping off the heat shield, just can't see where it originates. From inside, I removed the plastic panel and I do not see anything wet, so I am thinking that is a good... -
Coolant Leaking from behind rear wheel
Figured I would start a new thread on my coolant leak saga... All has been well for a while, however, I walked up the driveway this afternoon and saw a coolant puddle behind the rear wheel. I realize it is under the rear heating system, but thought I would get some feedback from you guys on... -
Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
That's a lot of work... I am just trying to figure out if I even have an exhaust leak, but its so damn hard to see the manifold bolts... even with my borescope. Can't tell if it's easier to come at it from the top, from underneath, or through the wheel well. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
