    Rhino / ox hitch option

    Got this today. Two reasons. One is that it mounts the hitch higher so you don’t drag the quick release through the dirt or rocks when rowing at angles ( my steep driveway does not accommodate a hitch mount bike rack down low and my off-road camping trailer hitch does hit the dirt when...

    Well crap!

    Crossover failure of some sort yes. Catastrophic engine failure not as much.

    Well crap!

    That. I think it’s maybe 3-400$ in parts (depends on what you choose to replace. May want to do a new water pump. Various gaskets,etc. ). Maybe 4-6 hours in labor at $65 an hour. So total around $600 to around $800. Mine was done in conjunction with other stuff so the labor was not broken out.

    Well crap!

    Personally I think the big problem with the crossovers is that they interface the engine directly. They are plastic connected to the metal thermal source. They get very brittle over time. One of mine crumbled on removal at only 70k. I think they should have a metal elbow barb interface coming...

    Well crap!

    Sorry to hear it. I am a little surprised there is no class action on this issue. It seems so endemic and like an ounce of engineering would have solved this in the planning stage. The conspiracist in me imagines a meeting with the engineers and bean counters where the bean counters ask how do...

    Well crap!

    And not sure on part numbers. They are different but the dealers only Spec the new ones. FYI they are not interchangeable. I thought I could buy one piece but they didn’t all fit together. Had to kind of do all the pipes

    Well crap!

    Essentially this thing is a ticking time bomb if you don’t preemptively change the crossovers! I will mention again that the new style crossovers (rounded no seams) look much better than the old style (sandwiched two pieces). God I hope they hold up for as long as I own it.

    2014 SCV6 LR4 CEL - accompanied by high revs (~2-3.5k) on startup

    Yeah. KISS principle. And the pcv is essentially a wear item. You should kind of replace it anyway.

    3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?

    The Amsoil magazine has this article which may be of interest.

    3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?

    I’m sending off my oil to black stone labs next week when I change the Amsoil signature series 5w-20 after 13k miles is mixed driving. I ran Castrol through warranty then switched. I run between 8-15k miles between changes. This will be the first time to the lab but I don’t think there will be...

    FS - Urban Offroad Full prerunner Rack for LR4 (maybe lr3)

    I have not been using this rack much these days after getting a camping trailer and using my Thule Box for skiing. It has a full width LED Light bar across it. Extremely Bright. Will easily support a rooftop tent. See pics for that setup. It also comes with an Awning on circular mounts on...

    2014 SCV6 LR4 CEL - accompanied by high revs (~2-3.5k) on startup

    Could be a vacuum leak, PCV valve. those go bad around 75k miles. causes high idle, although i didn't hear it in your video. Hope it is that, as they are dirt cheap. Happened to me.

    LR4 SCV6 Engine noise (and Fan problems)

    2. 3.4 oz. don’t overfill. I made that mistake. Available on eBay. Or Eaton suppliers like superchargersonline. 3. Replace the tensioner pulley. Preferably with a metal wheel. Plastic one broke on me. You should do the crossovers if you have the old style. I don’t know when they switched...

    LR4 whining noise turned into a loud clicking noise now

    Not a Land Rover part. It’s a generic pulley wheel similar to this. It’s not this one but it looks similar. I had a mechanic source it while on vacation after the belt breakdown so not sure on the exact one. ALT TENSIONER GM Fit Belt Tensioner Pulley 38001...

    LR4 whining noise turned into a loud clicking noise now

    I have no idea why they didn’t use a metal tensioner pulley. My plastic one failed. Ripped the belt in half. Replaced with metal. No issues.

    Oil catch can needed on a SCV6?

    Did not blast the valves. We looked and they were fine. No issues there at 75k.
