New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Thanks, trying to schedule a smoke test... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Got it, thanks! Let's assume that this is indeed my problem, that o-ring is not going to be available from Rover as an individual o-ring. In an attempt to have that o-ring on hand when doing the work, which would then save alot of time, do you know the specifications for that o-ring so that it... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Sorry, still not understanding. So the o-ring in question is not at the tank, it's at the fuel filler cap? And when I look at the 2015, this is what I see from the top down, I don't see anything that looks or feels like an o-ring. Do I need to remove the fender liner and look from underneath to... -
Any DIY tips out there on replacing a 2016 LR4 SCV6 Thermostat Housing?
In my case, the adapter on the bottom of the thermostat did not come off and I needed to purchase the entire hose assembly that goes from the thermostat down to the radiator, that hose assembly was about $250. It's a standard brutal plumbing problem, just 2 little tips, there is a T-30 bolt... -
If anyone needs information on dropping your LR4 tank to replace the fuel pump, let me know...
Thanks! Do you happen to have any photos of the spot where the vent hose (that goes to the carbon cannister) attaches to the tank? -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Many Thanks! Not trying to be dense here, but I do not understand how an o-ring failure here would put raw fuel into the canister, I do think I see how it could put fuel on the outside of the tank. And because Rover is Rover, then to replace this o-ring would require a totally new tank? And to... -
Current Tire Recommendations?
The truck is away at University and not my daily driver. There is a small chance I could be up there during the snow season, IF I ever get a chance to drive these tires in the snow I will update here. -
Current Tire Recommendations?
Well, completed the tire upgrade last week and need to provide an update. Installed 4 Michelin Cross Climate2 tires on the 2016. Have driven it on gravel, mud road (nothing spectacular - maybe 3" deep on a firm base), highway and wet highway for several hundred miles. One word - WOW! Road... -
Buying this 2015 LR4 Lux Pkg w/ HD Pkg, but am freaking out about the RUST! Should I walk?
Updating my comments from above. It's now Aug 2023 and I have completed a 1-year inspection. I used POR-15 on the 2016 on some light rust patches in Aug 2022, following their procedures - i.e. using the POR pre-wash followed by 2 coats of POR-15. It's pretty much impossible to get... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
Thanks. Due to my D schedule, it's almost impossible to get the truck free for anyone to touch it - probably needs to wait until Christmas break. I will update... That internal vapor hose o-ring seems to explain the behavior. Not to defend the dealership, but they have suggested smoke... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
My year long sag continues. Smells began AFTER I had a local dealer do the recall, Aug 2022. Smells ONLY when tank is completely full at the pump, goes away after even just a few miles and tank goes down just that little bit. I took it back, they could not find anything. But I can find moist... -
What kind of leak is this?
Get a UV flashlight. If it has Rover coolant, it will be UV active and fluorescent. Take a good look around after dark. Scorpions are UV active as well. You might have some of those about... -
Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)
Call Palm Beach Rover Parts, they are very helpful in locating part numbers. -
Does my engine sound normal?
2013 LR4 purchased new 91,655 miles video date 07/31/23 Cold start-up Average oil change frequency 7,430 miles Max oil change duration 12,467 (ouch!) It has had an easy life, simple daily driver mostly open road, about 20 miles each way. Errand and city driving has been minimal. Chain looks... -
Does my engine sound normal?
Well, I'm no expert on "normal", or what exactly that sound is, but sure doesn't sound like mine... -
What kind of leak is this?
That's coolant. If it's Rover brand coolant it glows bright yellow under a UV light. There was a discussion about the rear crossover being accessible from the top not too long ago. For this group it actually got kinda heated, but this is a great group so not-so-much really... I still maintain... -
Towing - I Have Not Done My Homework...
I may not tow things myself, which is why I started this thread, but... I do know there is alot more to towing than simple down-force on the hitch and having inherited a Honda Pilot that was used extensively for towing in it's previous life, now with about 60K on the clock, needing a complete... -
Nuts & Bolts... and Screws (basically fasteners)
Try BoltDepot.com They are my go-to vendor for stuffy stuff like this. If they don't stock it, it's not available anywhere. I have dropped and not recovered one as well. As I recall I found a good replacement in my misc box, a long sheet metal screw. -
Adding Pentofrost SF to OEM LR Coolant?
Depends of whether you have the V8 or the V6. Same in concept of course, but much more work with the V6. Here are my videos that you might find useful. Crazy long, yes I know... -
Adding Pentofrost SF to OEM LR Coolant?
My coolant just shows up in a box at the front door. :) -
Adding Pentofrost SF to OEM LR Coolant?
I can't speak to your exact question, but Rover coolant is easy to get, so why make a change? -
Headliner Cloth Coming Loose
Way too hot to be messing about with anything not absolutely necesssary. If this gets attention at all it will need to wait until early 2024. -
Low Battery Warning while camping overnight....
These vehicles never really go to sleep, they just wake up less often as they are left alone. Please there is always a draw down current usage of about 20mA. If the battery is sufficiently discharged, say when you leave it parked for 3 months without touching it, or for any reason, just be... -
Add Blind Spot Monitoring ? - 2016 LR4 HSE
Just asking again. Has anyone successfully, actually installed blind spot monitoring in any LR4 that was not sold with that option already installed? The parts are expensive. After reading it looks like there might be wiring to the mirrors, but not wiring to the rear radar units, and... -
