    dreaded coolant level warning

    None of us want to do this test for fear of it being positive, but it is the right thing to do.

    Phone Mount

    For one of my other vehicles I found a company that made a slick mount that used a T20 screw hidden behind a bezel. A couple days ago I grabbed a plastic pry bar to pop the hand rest trim off so I could start thinking. I bent up some paper board to model it. Traced that onto a piece of 22ga...

    V8 engine shuts off after 4 minutes, code P0627-00 (6C) Fuel pump A control circuit/open

    Cheap and easy thing that might not work; replace the relay.

    How to Test Low Pressure Fuel Pump?

    Poke around in the "service/test" menu you should find a fuel priming function. Run the truck until it dies. If it won't restart run the fuel priming function and try again. You should be able to hear the pump prime.

    dreaded coolant level warning

    Order an aftermarket coolant cap and epoxy/ silicone an air compressor ****** onto it. Dial your compressor up to 25-30 psi and start spraying soapy water on everything.

    Mass Air Flow Sensor Voltage

    After you do the spark plugs, pull them back out and visually inspect them after several miles. Computer in these is pretty good at detecting a misfire. Cleaning the throttle body is a good free option. If I were to start reaching for the parts cannon, I'd order new air flow sensors first...

    V8 engine shuts off after 4 minutes, code P0627-00 (6C) Fuel pump A control circuit/open

    If it turns out to be a mouse / wiring issue I recommend solder-loaded crimp on butt splices. A nice all in one solution.

    I thought downsizing to v8 lr3 brakes was needed to get 18s to fit.

    Project Dark Knight Rising

    I saw a FFRR with the SCV8 for what my broken brain thought was a reasonable asking amount. Did you ever consider going in the other direction? Swap in the two speed transfer case into a FFRR and get custom drive shafts.

    Looking to purchase timing chain tools

    High pressure fuel pump cam shaft is designed to only rotate in the one direction. It can become out of sync if rotated the wrong way. I'm sure Land Rover has a special tool you can pop in the access hole for the torque converter. 12.9 is just the bolt strength rating.

    18k Gaskets and other miscellaneous hardware add up quick. Ask me how I know.

    V8 engine shuts off after 4 minutes, code P0627-00 (6C) Fuel pump A control circuit/open

    This sounds like a situation where you're going to need to drop the tank just to inspect the wiring. And we'll if the tank is out ...

    Throttle body coolant line mystery

    Even the cheap harbor freight vacuum bleeder works.

    Project Dark Knight Rising

    Stainless m8 with a nylock nut should be fine. Allow you to get it just barely snug without rattling itself apart.

    Probably the sound of refrigerant expanding. PV=nRT

    A/C Help

    Does the clutch engage on the compressor? Did a mouse eat the wires?

    Longevity and Investment

    Keep up on maintenance and you should be good. Just remember parts for these aren't cheap. As for terra firma accessories. I've been slightly disappointed in the tire carrier, ladder and rack. Rack took some significant twisting to get lined up. They also include hex drive fasteners for it...

    vibration at idle - motor mounts?

    I've never thought these were exceptionally smooth with either my old motor or my new remanufactured. Then again the last v6 I had was a 4.0 SOHC. Watching the rpm in the corner of the GAP tool the idle rpm hunts between 61x and 63x mostly. Once the rpm is 650 or better it is very smooth. I...

    Sitting on the side of the road listening to a rodent chew my truck

    Chunks of Irish spring works too. I've also got about 10 cords of fire split and stacked. Give them a place to live.

    2015 LR4 Head Gasket Replacement

    Did they actually do a compression test or test the coolant for exhaust gasses?

    Persistent P0430 on my 2012 5.0

    I broke down and bought a new catalytic converter. My recommendation is to shop around and try to get your local dealer to match the price. Dealers in Virginia Beach and San Jose had the best prices, $3k plus $500 core. My local dealer wanted $4.5 plus core. Sales clerk tried to get the...

    Intercooler pump mounting pics

    I know one of the upgrades for the supercharged Mercedes is a higher flowing pump. I know the SC v8 gets a thicker oil cooler.

    Does the V8 setup use a larger pump than the V6?

    Adding Upgrades to My 2012 LR4 -

    What wheels are those? The factory plate that supports the fuel tank is a joke. Softest steel I've ever seen, pretty sure it is made from recycled food ration cans.
