    Should I Rebuild?

    @q5sys based on that list of dealerships I've had a good experience with checkered flag JLR in VA Beach for parts. I don't live in the area so I can't comment on the service side of things.

    Battery life

    Isn't there some function in the GAP tool for when you put in a new battery too?

    Should I Rebuild?

    I've found prices for parts to vary quite a bit from dealer to dealer. Might be worth contacting a few that are within a days drive from your location.

    Prepping for SCV6 120k mi service

    If the VCG ain't leaking just give it a little pat and say "this puppy ain't going anywhere".

    Prepping for SCV6 120k mi service

    Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

    You can also get a larger supercharger from VAP.

    Should I Rebuild?

    If the block deck has warped it is going to be a royal pain to get a good head gasket seal. Add the cylinder wall lining to the equation and I would recommend a reman motor.

    So was nose down or nose up better?

    Electric Oil Pump Control Solenoid on a 2016 3.0l?

    If you're doing the chains on the v6 you should probably replace the supercharger coupler and the oil for it while you are at it. Front and rear coolant cross over pipes too.

    I should add that I'm in Massachusetts, no shortage of salt around here.

    Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?

    Some of the corrosion I'm talking about. The strut is pretty strong and I've never fought gravity.

    Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?

    Terra firma is removable, there's one bolt in the bottom that holds it down. If you do go with the tire carrier, don't forget a wheel lock.

    Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?

    Get a flat with a full load of gear and you'll love having the tire carrier. Within my first week of ownership I was less than a quarter mile to my destination and the tpms light came on. Parked and heard a tire hissing, wheeled the floor jack under and went about swapping the old spare in...

    2012 LR4 - Diagnosing two separate vibrations

    I'd make sure the fluid level is right. Filling the ZF transmission is kind of a pain. It is supposed to be warm, running, and shifted into gears under load.

    2011 LR4 Lux Non-HD Head Unit Replacement

    Sometimes I really miss the days of DIN and double DIN head units.

    Anyone swapped out for newer seats?

    I'd look for RRS seats with ventilation.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I got the Terra Firma steelies for quite a deal. Defender steelies were around twice the cost. I didn't come across the tuffant ones, what I'm seeing they were pretty pricey as well.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Put my LR4 back in it's native state, on jack stands in the driveway. I really want to run 18" steel wheels, but don't love the idea of spacers. thought I saw somewhere that the LR3 front brake caliper bracket (SEH500013) is a direct fit, so for $100 I ordered one. It does indeed fit...

    2015 LR4 Coolant Issue - Nothingburger or...

    This is when I start getting intrusive thoughts. What would a L405 look like with a steel bumper, tire carrier, and roof rack?

    2015 LR4 Coolant Issue - Nothingburger or...

    I'd be very concerned about purchasing something known to be sensitive to overheating with an active coolant leak driven by a teenager or young adult. Teenagers and young adults do very dumb things, speaking from experience.

    Transmission replacement on jack stands?

    I was on jack stands, it is doable. Nice thing about jack stands is you can get in from the side. A lot of the stuff that gets disconnected for this job is supposed to be put back in with new hardware. Torque converter, front and rear drive shaft. Depending on mileage you may want to replace...

    MPG - Gotta be wrong....

    That's so high I'd think you're running on half the cylinders.
