    Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?

    Most likely an overheat, judging from the empty coolant expansion tank. Zero warning lights, coolant gauge never moved, no 'low coolant level' message. Just loss of power, followed by shut down. Hoping to resurrect it with a rebuilt engine but costs so far are astronomical, so not sure what the...

    Extended Warranty

    Does anyone have any leads on a source for good rebuilt engines? Seeing roverlandparts.com selling them for 12k, which seems really steep. Labor to put it in is about 5k, give or take.

    Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY

    that connector is for the battery tender that is used when the vehicle is on a boat from the UK to here. It's not needed otherwise.

    Extended Warranty

    Actually I am starting to lean this way as well. Simply because the rest of the truck is in great shape and I put a lot of effort into personalizing it the way I want. So I'm exploring that option now. Part of me wants to get a rebuilt motor too. Thanks for the input.

    Extended Warranty

    I thought about that but from what I've seen, engine swaps on this thing are very expensive since the body has to come off. Used engines are 5-6k, then the labor to swap it. Thinking I might be better off buying another one and then selling this one as is.

    Extended Warranty

    Seized up. Not sure why or how. Zero warnings beforehand. Looks like catastrophic coolant loss, because expansion tank is empty.

    Extended Warranty

    Thanks. Looking for something similar, mainly to protect myself against a massive failure. Finding it hard to leave the LR4, despite the engine seizing - it really has grown on me and there is nothing out there that is comparable. If you could post how much you paid for the warranty, that'd be...

    Extended Warranty

    So since my 2013 bit the dust, I am shopping for another one but looking to supplement it with an extended warranty this time, to prevent future unpleasantries with engines seizing, etc. What are the best options out there for a 2012-2013, assuming I can even get coverage for something that old...

    Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?

    No warning lights, just gradual loss of power followed by shut down at 65mph. After shutting down, got battery light and CEL. No codes afterwards. Will check starter too.

    Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?

    After some investigation, looking at a potentially seized engine. Not good. Tried cranking it manually and it won't budge. Zero warning signs, etc.

    Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?

    It was to the battery terminal. Could be bad earth strap. Is that the one in the passenger side wheel well?

    Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?

    Thanks. I never listen to the radio so I probably missed that part. Hoping it's that simple. Tried jumping it a couple of times and no dice. I'll dig into it later this week now that it got towed 200 miles to my house. Thanks AAA!

    Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?

    Had my first outright failure today, coming home from WV. Truck is a 2013 with 117k. Starting gradually losing power at 65-70. After less than a minute, it shut off completely while driving. CEL and battery light. Coasted to a stop and tried to restart. Won't even crank. Weird terrain selection...

    Second hand roof rail questions

    A couple of those caps fell out on mine too. So far, hasn't been an issue.

    FYI fan relay went bad at 98k

    My mounts are on their last legs/probably shot but I have been holding off on this job, as I hear horror stories(one of the mounts is behind the diff, etc). Is there a good writeup anywhere? I've done mounts on plenty of cars in the past and it was simple, but apparently not the case with the D4.

    Stiff brake pedal when cold

    nothing crazy, just a drop by like 30 degrees or so. It might be a vacuum leak...

    New rear hatch shocks? Preferably better than OEM?

    I replaced mine with LiftoMats and they're ok. So far lasted 1.5 years. Were cheap too. Dunno.

    Stiff brake pedal when cold

    Lately after the weather has gotten colder, have been experiencing a very hard/stiff brake pedal when first starting car. So much so that sometimes have to mash the pedal extra hard for the car to successfully start. Once started, pedal is normal. Thinking about bleeding the system but apart...

    The Great Engine Oil Debate

    this is the first time i've seen 5w-30 specced for an LR4/Disco4. This makes me think that v6 is a completely different engine from the SC v6 that we later got.

    The Great Engine Oil Debate

    once again - any quality brand name(Castrol, M1, etc) 5w20 synthetic oil, and change every 5k miles. There is really nothing more to it.

    Brief engine clatter after a long trip - if not chains, what is it?

    OH man that is great news if that's the case. Thanks!

    Brief engine clatter after a long trip - if not chains, what is it?

    thanks, I'll start digging in later today. By any chance, do you have the replacement procedure for the solenoid anywhere in any workshop manual? I have a 2010 pdf that's not super helpful but maybe there's something better out there. Much appreciated!

    Brief engine clatter after a long trip - if not chains, what is it?

    Update 2: we have a CEL now, along with two codes: P003C-00 Intake(A) camshaft profile control performance or stuck off - Bank 1 and P003E-00 Intake(A) camshaft profile control performance or stuck off - Bank 2. After searching, this looks VVT solenoid related. I guess one solenoid that controls...
