    Crossover Pipe Bursted on V8

    No gaskets for the coolant pipes. Only gaskets you may want to replace are the intake manifold gaskets..8 of them. Fyi, I did not replace them, had no issues with vacuum leaks after. Car had 138k on it at the time.

    08' RR Catalytic Converter Failure

    I agree with the skepticism. how did they diagnose bad cats? the only real way to know they are bad is by physically inspecting them. and a bad cat would usually have a slew of other symptoms such as misfires, bad performance and sometimes a rotten egg smell. were these present? 99% of the...

    LAND ROVER DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES OR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

    While I understand that such expensive cars should come with good customer service, I am left with a few questions... what maintenance was done for $36k over 3 years?! You had a warranty, and you specifically say maintenance....so what has been $12k/year to upkeep that was not warrantied...

    Melting thermostat housing

    I understand DIY repairs can sometimes be frustrating, especially if you have a lot of variables. From the beginning, did you diagnose the problem? it sounds like you were just throwing parts at it. are you using reliable name parts? cheap parts have cheap quality. also, you say after each...

    P0171 and P0174 solved....finally!

    ...$90 for 2 pcv valve rebuild kits? i think i paid $30 for 2 new ones off ebay. granted not OEM, but there isnt much technology put into these. some knockoffs cant hurt. and they are a 5 minute swap. but, glad you found your issue.

    Refrigerator or cooler? Who knows.

    Chances are the "coolness" you are feeling when the light are not illuminated is because of the insulated properties of the box. its not necessarily working when off, it just colder than ambient temp since its insulated and out of the sun. taken from the land rover site: Cool box or...

    Being in Access Mode for extended periods?

    Air suspension and parking brake problems? combined with the fact that it sounds like the current owner didn't care enough to fix those (serious) issues, run from that car. who knows what other routine maintenance they skimped on. The air suspension starts around $500 to repair, for the...

    DRL's and GAP tool - 2012 LR4

    i sent an email to lucky8, asking nicely for a discount. not mentioning any affiliation, i think they offered $480 shipped. I was very reluctant to spending soo much on a specialized too for 1 car, but its worth it. besides whatever DRL coding you may want, its a great tool to have for other...

    Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) failure

    since the brake works flawlessly everytime, id assume the switch cant be bad. but you never know. as others suggested, im just going to ignore it and know it will always be a code. not worth throwing money, time and parts at a non-problem. i guess i was just hoping that there was some sort of...

    DRL's and GAP tool - 2012 LR4

    if it helps, my 2011 LR4 HSE lux has the LEDs on as DRL all the time. this truck has HID headlights. not sure if DRL LEDs/halogen/HID options have any correlation. maybe an owner before me enabled it, but it is possible if you have the correct options.

    Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) failure

    Since ive bought this car ive had a parking brake errors code. i replaced the parking brake module because of its obvious failure (grinding). after replacement, programming, calibrating....the brakes works perfect. but the code will keep coming back IPC - Instrument Pack U0128-00 (2E) - lost...

    OIl Leak - top of engine

    Just replaced the oil filter housing gasket. This repair should take someone about 20minutes. I couldn't find the torque specs, so I went with 9ft lbs....same as the water pump bolts. Figured this was a good spec since its the same type of metal pressed gasket. If anyone can provide the correct...

    DIY water pump and crossover pipe Video.

    Adding my experience... Took about 1.5 hours, if I had no issues. Took 2 hours since I didn't seat the 90 degree nipple on the water pump all the way, and couldn't hold a vaccum when refilling coolant. Everything else went smooth and as expected I didn't need to take off the fan. Some people...

    OIl Leak - top of engine

    excellent. this is the kind of information im looking for. i have convinced myself its the oil filter housing gasket, but that may simply be because it would be the easier solution. but im not narrow minded....anything is possible. just looked up the service manual for valve cover...

    OIl Leak - top of engine

    sorry, maybe my post wasn't clear. 1 month ago, changed oil with 0w20 oil, and changed filter. there was no oil spillage. a week later I noticed minor leak down the front of the engine, directly infront of the oil filter housing. i assumed leak was due to too thin of oil on an old engine. 2...

    OIl Leak - top of engine

    curious....how much was the valve cover gasket replacement? hopefully i don't have to go that route since i feel it is not leaking from the valve cover....rather from the oil filter housing gasket.

    Windshield Cowl Grille Replacement

    FYI, i used this product on all the black trim on my LR4, worked great. no sign of washing off in the past 6 months. https://cerakoteceramics.com/pages/trim-coat also, i recently sealed my cowl to the windshield.. gently pried up the leading edge of the cowl, slide a 1/8" diameter of butyl rope...

    Air suspension leak issue

    sounds like the work you did on the front made a difference. particularly the replacement of the reservoir valve block. double check your install. make sure there are no leaks at the area. it must have something to do with that, unless you had 2 separate issues.

    OIl Leak - top of engine

    seems my 2011 LR4 has classic land rover issues. This time i noticed oil on the front on the engine, dripping all the way down onto the alternator, power steering rack and frame rail. this is a new leak. only shown signs of a leak since after i changed the oil about 1 month ago. i know i did...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    that would be about 4hrs from me. just a little too far I already serviced the transmission myself. swapped pans (using the AB kit), and drained/filled twice after driving for 50 miles between. besides needing to be done due to mileage (140k miles on the odometer), it also solved a toque...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    I did check them. its takes a significant amount of sway for them to hit anything, and when they do it hits a plastic. sound is much different and as far as i can tell, not hitting on regular driving. I actually just dropped the car off at a local mechanic (not a LR specialist) to get a second...
