    Should I get this LR4?

    Agree - the details are in the numbers - the cost of the vehicle, certainly the cost of the extended warranty and some hold back for items that are not readily apparent that may need replacing soon. Are there any similar vehicle in this age/price range that do not suffer from these issues in...

    Front Fender Flare

    Do these just snap on? @Cthehentz Thanks for the part link, I will call and see if these come primed or what the deal is. I found this one for $200 online but wonder if the black marks from front to back can be buffed out or if this needs to be re-sprayed.

    Front Fender Flare

    So wife had the truck today and someone love-tapped her (Valentine's Day) and trying to figure out if I file a claim or have the perpetrator pay direct. Feels like just the molding - plus color match and film. Anyone had to replace one of these and any idea of cost? Looks like some of the clips...

    Name This Part

    Anyone know what this plate is named. It's cracked and rattle is annoying. I went to remove it but saw some lines hooked to the sides so wanted to research it before I do more digging. It's underneath just behind motor so I am assuming its transfer case or trans type cover.

    Whats the purpose of these aluminum blocks ?

    I hope @Waterndirt is correct about the quality of these on years where this is now a federally identified safety feature. Otherwise, LR might have to issue vouchers upon vehicle delivery for Tetanus shots since it's completely plausible that anyone stepping into the back seat drivers side may...

    Whats the purpose of these aluminum blocks ?

    It took longer than expected - whoever put the running boards on stripped one bolt on the way in and it set me back a while trying to drill it out. Passenger side took 3 hours cause of that When it came to the drivers side, I decided to pull up on the board to see what would happen. Lol, it...

    Whats the purpose of these aluminum blocks ?

    Went to take the running boards off today because I felt a soft spot toward back of the boards lately. 2014 LR4. Suppose I can get rock sliders now.

    Supercharger Rattle?

    Not sure if this is a good option. http://www.car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi but when we did the timing chain after the camshaft broke on mine we ended up buying an entire head from a dismantler instead of dealing with rebuilding existing - was a newer A rated car meaning low miles - saved a...

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    Update: about 1,000 miles since repair and truck runs good. I just ran BG44K through one tank of gas for good measure. One thing I noticed since picking it up is a rattle around the mid-engine low. Not consistent and only when in gear and not at idle while revving. I was able to get it back to...

    Hard Choices

    @Cthehentz what was our total bill if you don't mind divulging? I just had the engine pulled and timing, head, water pump and plastic parts done for around $7K - 11 days after buying a 2014 LR4 with 114K on it! It burns the pocketbook but since having it back it drives very well so far with...

    Hard Choices

    @Cthehentz trust me is was a good spend. I recently bought a used LR4 and about 800 miles later it jumped time, snapped a camshaft and made a mess of part of the motor. Thread with photos: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/crankshaft-sensor-or-timing-chain-or.40780/

    Hard Choices

    @Cthehentz How attached are you to your wife? lol. I love my LR4 even though I just dished out some $$$$ for the timing chain, new cylinder head, water pump... I still have the support of the family as they all love it as well. Admittedly, I am hard-pressed to pick and choose where I would...

    Supercharger Rattle?

    @Fuji4 Newer to the supercharger setup - what maintenance intervals for oil change on these and can you describe the sound leading up to your snout swap. 2014 LR4 with 115K miles and just did some major maintenance and would like to keep up better than previous owner did to get/keep this in tip top.

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    @ktm525 The dealer specifically stated that no aftermarket warranty was available from them. I thought that was odd thinking that it would be offered but likely expensive. Expensive is now a relative term... It never feels good to pay this much in one fell swoop but the indy shop that did the...

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    OK this repair seems complete. Went and picked it up today - so it looks like the timing chain guide broke which started the 'chain' reaction. Drove 50 miles so far and is smooth. Glad I did other parts as well. Here are some pics of the parts and what the truck looks like (off of a flatbed)...

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    @Davidinseattle I plan on making a case to the dealer once I have the invoice in my possession. Dealers make a lot on low-balling trades and reselling with 'as-is' as cover for not taking on any of the risk. The entire used car buying experience has to change from a legal standpoint to favor the...

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    Update: Repair shop said the work is all done and it runs like a 'dream'. I will pick it up Thursday and snap some pictures of the old parts. All told $6,300 is not a bad deal IMO to pull the motor, clean out the oil pan, new water pump, gaskets, find a complete used head from a newer 3.0 V6 SC...

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    Updated photos - looks like the motor is back in and some new parts ready for installation - the shop owner has a good sense of humor and texted me "your new plastic parts have arrived" ... The cylinder head we purchased $595 is right side of picture (drivers side) looks pretty clean. It may be...

    All Terrain Tires?

    @TrinidadLR4 will those fit without lift/rods? 31.9 overall diameter if I recall. I am thinking about a set this size for my 14 Lux. Are you running these on your truck?

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    @ryanjl I think you are correct - even though it was maintained at dealer the interval matters. Got a shot from the tech with the motor out. He dropped the oil pan and cleaned that out of all metal fragments from the camshaft. The drivers side cylinder head came in from import dissmanter in...

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    114K when I bought it - put just a few hundred on it before this happened. Was bought 'as-is' (as most higher miles used vehicles are these days it seems) I did a lot of research on the 3.0 V6 SC and specifically felt safe knowing that the timing chain issue was supposed to be fixed with this...

    Crankshaft Sensor or Timing Chain or ?

    Yeah the dealer is not going to help - I will likely keep it since you cannot match the looks or feel of these when they are running right. I figure for 6K the motor *should* be solid for a while.
