ZF 8HP refill - showing full before replacing amount drained
I am about to redo my pan gasket. I like the idea that @DaytonaRS7 mentioned with the pump sprayer so I went to make one. I got a 1 gallon one for under $10 and instead of cutting off the end, just pushed some hose over the end with the little spray cap taken off and then put a right angle... -

2012 LR4 High Throttle Hesitation
uh, no offense dude, but you just made another thread saying you had valve seals leaking oil into cylinders and had your engine worked on. Let's go easy on engine care advice. -
Decent trailer hitch/bike rack combo on a budget ?
I don't like those style of racks, nothing keeps them from swinging and they are really tight between the bikes. And nothing tightens the rack in the hitch. I guess if you don't care about scratches its not an issue. I can't even put my higher end road bike on racks like that because you are... -
Decent trailer hitch/bike rack combo on a budget ?
If you want a rack for 4 bikes that won't be super sketchy and shake and whatnot, you need something a bit nicer. I highly recommend Kuat racks. I have expensive taste in general, but I am not putting my Trek Domane SLR 8 on just any crap rack. (I spent like $7k on my bike, which yes.. is... -
2014+ improvements / weak spots?
I'll just stick with the 380 hp/ 380 ftlbs that my 5.0 V8 actually has from the factory and not dick around with it so that it actually works and lasts a good long while. Why you would mod the engines on these vehicles is beyond me. You bought the wrong thing if MaD pOweR anD pERformaNce was... -
2014+ improvements / weak spots?
I know a LR dealer tech who says they see failures on the sc v6 a lot more than the v8. But I think both have failures, so something to keep an eye on either way. The updated parts for the v6 look a lot better. -
2012 LR4 High Throttle Hesitation
Did you read the codes? Clean the throttle body? Not giving us much to go on honestly... but please let us know what you find out to add to the knowledge base here. -
Well crap!
I am still not sure how important that variation is... it is NOT dex-cool... but ya.. I just hoard Pentofrost SF (SF-G12+) coolant which is Pink & Clear and the spec is WSS M97B44-D -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I did mine a little more than a year ago and noticed recently that my pan was leaking around the gasket. The new bolts were kinda loose. I think the gasket got trashed from a loose pan, so im waiting to order a new gasket and have 6 bottles of ZF Lifegaurd here ready to replace the gasket... -
Winch recommendations for ARB deluxe bumper
That is kinda crazy. I thought I had been really heavy before. I have ARB Summit, full T44 skids, rear bumper with dual swings, rack... and I was fully loaded up for a week+ camp. 7,540 lbs on the scale. -
Howto: DIY LR4 Alternator replacement
I guess it depends on what is wrong with it, but ya.. I still have the other alternator. I should get it fixed up -
Howto: DIY LR4 Alternator replacement
I went with a new Denso which is also OEM. Alternators are a weird parts segment. Lots of junk out there. reminded me of the damn wheel bearings market. Fakes and trash everywhere. -
Howto: DIY LR4 Alternator replacement
Back when this happened, now that I reflect on it more. I do think something was wrong with that alternator. I replaced it. I do notice though, if I leave my truck parked for a long time (like a week) and put the CTEK charger on its charge mode (rather than just the 12v supply mode) The... -
Replacing Front Strut Assemblies
I am curious about this also. Are Bilsteins any kind of an upgrade? -
Air Suspension
You can put the EAS into build mode with an IID tool which kinda locks out the system, but its not that useful. EAS has 3 fuses and a relay for the compressor. -
Rotating 5.0L Engine Manually
Yes, what he ^ said. Don't rotate the engine the other way or you can skip the chain and loose timing. Seems like a scredriver is a bit agressive, could score something, but I am wondering how I will get this done in a few years when I need it. I'd rather have someone do this job, even... -
Well crap!
I was talking to a dealer land rover tech yesterday (About my leaking air suspension) but we got to talking about the crossover pipes and he said he sees this happen way more on the supercharged v6 on the 2014+ than he does on the 5.0L. -
Rear end sagging. Time to work on my EAS.
Rear air block replaced, still sagging. The reservoir valve block is way more expensive than the rear. I may try to pull it apart and not fully dismantle it... not sure. It must be between there and the rear because only the rear is sagging. Anyone have other thoughts? -
Rear end sagging. Time to work on my EAS.
I've made a habit of using anti-seize on all the undercarriage bolts and skid bolts. And I try to stay ahead of the rust every year. I was expecting the white spray metalized stuff to last a lot longer on my gas skid. The undersides have been great, even after scratched to hell, but the one... -

Rear end sagging. Time to work on my EAS.
Well update. I ended up ordering a new valve block because it was super dirty and messed up. I also talked to lucky8 and they said the AMK compressor is NOT rebuild able.. so that sucks. My asfir rear diff skid is scratched to hell and I have a big rust spot on the inner side of my t44 gas... -
Well crap!
@pabs406 I don't think you had it changed. You just had water pump and oil cooler side of it changed. from my notes, the part number and descriptions are as follows: LR018275 TUBE WATER OUTLET TO CYLINDER BLOCK (includes oring) aka ENGINE COOLANT CROSSOVER PIPE. ENGINE COOLANT OUTLET... -
Exhaust opinion?
Only exhaust mod I will do is protecting it a bit off road. Asfir read diff skid. I wouldn't want it any louder. I agree with avslash. I guess I am old or something. I want to be able to hear myself.
