Torque converter bolt removal
That's a job well beyond anything I would attempt, but I have found that the mechanics manuals, although far from perfect, are useful. Not sure about your year and model but my manuals were $13.50 from Craigsmanuals, and they are immediate download. Something like your job should have...- txfromwi

Particulate on Valves - HELP!!
I am replacing water pump, front crossover pipe and heater manifold pipe (rear crossover pipe). Finally got the air intake manifold totally off and I find this when I look down the air intake channels to the tops of the valves. I have been careful not to get crud down there, but maybe not... -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
I decided to do the whole 9 yards. I want to keep this vehicle forever and even if the parts are ok now, 89k is a good time to replace with that long term goal. If I was only keeping it another 50k, I would take the cheaper route. I am recording this, might eventually end up on UTube. -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
I purchased the manuals, opened her up and have diagnosed the leak most likely as the oil cooler line and/or the oil cooler line gasket. SO, do I purchase the little oil cooler line and the gasket for just a few dollars, OR, since it's all open do I also do front crossover, rear heater... -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
2013, LR4, ~89K OK, getting back to this as I have been out of pocket for a bit. Limiting the scope to front and read crossovers, anyone have a complete parts list (including the "you might as well change this bit because it's already removed"), a torque specification list and the intake... -
Can anyone vouch for the Rochester, NY dealership?
2016 LR4, ~60K. It's up at school with my daughter and she has developed a steering wheel shimmy (comes and goes) and squeeky brakes. Probably nothing much to worry about and easy enough to diagnose and fix at home, but she is 1,600 miles away. The local dealership is Rochester, NY, they have... -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
I was planning on a complete cooling system transplant, pump, both crossover pipes, hoses, and misc bits plus both belts. Or best to just go for the front crossover pipe as that is the most likely culprit??? I do have the luxury of taking my time and taking the truck out if service... -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
The residual gunk is very UV active so I think it's cooked coolant rather than oil as the Rover coolant is UV active and the oil is not. And since the exact cause is unknown, and it all needs to come apart, well, it's a grand case of you might as well..... I will start the parts list tomorrow.... -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
UV penlight and Yellow safety glasses in hand ($15 on Amazon), I find that the Rover LRN2279 coolant already has UV dye in it. Unlike others, I find nothing UV active except for a zippy tie that I installed myself on an earlier project - and the leak of course.... I find sticky thick... -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
I will report back, but as the leak is something like 15mL over a month, it might take a while to diagnose... I can smell it, but it's clearly a very small leak. I will pressure test it tomorrow... I use OEM Rover coolant, LRN2279 from AB. -
Thermostat Replacement and then some.
A bit off topic, but I have an incredibly tiny, slow, slow, slow coolant leak in the 2013, 85K miles. Rather than just jump in whole hog and just do the entire project, I would like to UV test the coolant system first. ANY UV dye, or, being Rover, do we need something "special"? Thanks... -
Brake Sensor (Front) Damaged do I need to pull pads to install?
Agreed, you do not need to pull the pads to replace the sensor. On my 2013 and 2016 LR4's there is one front sensor on the drivers side and one rear sensor on the passengers side. Turn wheels to the right, remove wheel, jack it up and use appropriate safety stands as you will be laying... -
Buying LR3
I will let the more knowledgeable respond, but from my experience with 2 LR4's: Whomever wrote that posting has little to no knowledge of Rovers and probably has no idea what "normal" is. It is true that multiple error codes can result from one issue, but: HDC is hill descent. It works the... -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
All info from the letter from JLR... "Oct 7, 2021 ..... What if I have previously paid for this concern? If you have already paid for this concern Land Rover is offering a refund. The process for administering refunds will be included in the second letter. Please do not contact your retailer... -
2005 LR3 SE "Reduced Engine Performance" No Start
Here in Houston batteries just plain old incinerate in the heat. So here in Houston.... The number of the count, it shall be two, counteth thee not to one, except thou proceedest directly to two. Three is right out.. Seriously in Houston, 2 years is fine, 3 years is getting out there, 4 or... -
Parts Availability Issues
My go-to Rover parts, when AB can't help, come from Land Rover Palm Beach. They are super friendly on the phone and the website is super easy to use as well. I entered your part number and those assemblies appear to be in stock. Pricey, but in stock... -
Intro! Firenze in HD
Nice! I am looking for a Firenza Red with any version of the Tan interior. But the wife insists on driving it before we purchase, and that is turning out to be painful as there just haven't been any in the Houston area... Did you actually drive it before you purchased it? If not, how did you... -
Replace audio head
If NAV is the only thing you are missing, I would not fix it at $4K. I am the only one in the family that likes the Rover NAV, everyone else just uses their phones. If you are like me and just want it working "because", then that's a different matter, but my personal limit would be about $500. -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
We have received letters from Rover for both the 2013 and the 2016 saying they have been recalled but to “please stand by” because no parts are available. They say they will send a second letter. They also say that if you already paid for the repair you will be reimbursed. -
2005 LR3 SE "Reduced Engine Performance" No Start
Not on the Rover, but I have experienced sudden catastrophic battery failures exactly as you describe. I would start with a new battery. Some batteries can test as OK but cannot handle the load at start. -

Front End Suspension(?) Unidentified Noise
Had to wait for an opportunity, but just completed LCA replacement on the 2013 LR4, 85K. Parts from AB. Yes, this fixed the problem. Rear bushings on both sides had failed. Yes, this can be completed without removing the axle nut and pushing back the axle. Working slowly, took 3 days and about... -
The Great Engine Oil Debate
Thanks everyone, didn't mean to whack the hornets nest.... Here is a bit more for those (like me) hung up on the specification... I did find on a Blauparts page that the STJLR.03.5003 specification "will always correspond to an ACEA A5/B5 specification" "Also, the original STJLR.03.5003... -
The Great Engine Oil Debate
OK! AB does not have the 5w20 Castrol Professional (OE) in stock and they are saying it could be 3 months or more. (Yes, apparently it is available on ebay, but at $80/qt that's not happening.) SO.... Best Castrol alternative at this time? Edge Edge Extended Performance Edge Euro Car...
