How-To DIY: Replacing LR4 fuel system low pressure sensor
Thanks for sharing this, having just done my transmission pan I know how tight it is up there. Well done. -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Hi Folks - Rear crossover pipe done this evening, people are not joking when they say the job is a pain in the a55! It's doable but lots of fussing to get the bolts out, I found a longer extension allowed my ratchet further back in the firewall area allowing me to get more degrees rotation each... -
Thoughts on these spark plugs?
FWIW - Here are my plugs, removed a few days ago, cylinder numbers are marked, so bank 1 (passenger side) is 1, 3, 5 and 7; bank 2 (driver side) is 2, 4, 6 and 8: This is all part of the timing chain job, I'm changing the plugs while I'm in there! -
New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon
It's a fair point but you're not comparing apples to apples. I would never put an all season tire up against a snow tire in the snow... It's a case of horses for courses and really depends on what the OP wants, where he lives and his own tolerance for risk. Some of those back roads in VT... -
Heater core swap
Thank you for the help, I bough this Airlift kit on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002SRH5G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They look somewhat similar; I need to go read the manual! :argh: -
Heater core swap
You're correct; there's a bleeder as indicated here: I have the vacuum fill process in my not so distant future but have never done it yet... Still need to figure this out along with 43,000,000 other things! -

First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
Ahh yes, you're correct, they upgraded the guides to include the steel contact... My apologies for adding confusion. -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Even better is $217 on Parts Geek, but they seem to have two with prices differences which has me confused! https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2012/land_rover/lr4/engine_electrical/starter.html What am I missing here??? -
Land Rover Valve Cover Spark Plug Gasket - Genuine Rover LR014345 - thoughts on cost
Thank you so much I did see the ones at RMEuropean (partsgeek has the same) and pondered just buying the kits although I don't need the valve cover gaskets but I'm also putting in an order to FCP Euro so will likely go with them. The ones you found are the right ones; I was looking for the left... -

Thanks, sorry I missed that! The hyperlinks are rather subtle with this forum tech! These however don't appear to be Elring unless Eurospare is Elring? -
First post- going to look at a LR4 soon.
Welcome - also take a look at this video - it's the V8 but much of the content is relevant: Can't emphasize enough the timing chains and front/rear crossovers (ideally confirm they've been done, esp. at 100K miles). Air suspension in my opinion shouldn't be a blocker the parts are... -

New Tires to replace Cooper Zeon
There's another threads somewhere about these tires; I hear the Michelin Cross Climate 2 is fantastic in the snow; this is likely my next tire as I'm not an off roader. -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
I think it's the original! I'm still pondering the next course of action, given it's age do I spring for a new one on the assumption that it will fail eventually or solder a short wire as suggested by Range Rover. Given my daughter may drive this occasionally I lean towards a new one (looking... -

Where are you finding these? I can find a full kit that includes the valve cover gaskets (which I already have) but not the individual gaskets??? -

Looking to purchase timing chain tools
Here's an image of the camshaft alignment from this video, at approximately 30m and 52 seconds - he mentions the boxed text facing down. And with the locking tool in place: Crank position sensor lock tool (fits in an unseen square hole): Crank lock tool where the starter motor is removed: -

Land Rover Valve Cover Spark Plug Gasket - Genuine Rover LR014345 - thoughts on cost
Curious what folks think of the price difference between OE and after market for valve cover spark plug/injector gaskets, so OE are $25.19 (I assume this is each) and after market are $4.79. I'm having a hard time reconciling this huge cost difference and whether it's worth paying over $200 for... -
Looking to purchase timing chain tools
I'm back and working again on the project albeit as a very slow pace... FWIW I posted in this thread last night about removing the starter motor: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/changing-starter-motor-on-lr4.42106/ I tried turning the motor over last night to get everything aligned for... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Anything I can do or do I need a new starter motor? I still have to get the cable and the old nut separated as well! So this: It's almost as if the nut is retained in place by bending wire tabs on to the nut? I was hoping this is a spade type connector but it's not coming off with some... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Here's what the motor looks like from the pinion side: And here's what I broke: Anyone got any ideas or is it a new starter? It does look to be the original! Hope this helps those who follow! -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
Continued... Once the plastic covers are removed you see this: Zoomed in; here are the three remaining things that need to be removed: Here's a close up of the electrical connections, ultimately the small wire broke off the motor (my fault): The motor came out from just behind the lower... -
Changing Starter Motor on LR4
I had to remove the starter motor today (while working on my timing chains) and never found a really useful removal guide so here are some notes on this topic. The body of the starter motor is secured with two bolts; they are both accessible from the cross member that goes across the front of...
