    smelling coolant after driving, no visible leaks

    I'll take it to the dealership. It's still under warranty. Is this a known issue? Thanks for your insight.

    smelling coolant after driving, no visible leaks

    Hey all, when my wife pulls into the garage, we are smelling coolant. Nothing on the garage floor, no visible leaks around radiator, overflow, coolant lines, etc. Nothing. Just the sweet smell of coolant. Any thoughts? thanks

    Is it ok to start towing with 100,000 miles on the engine?

    you guys are cray cray pulling that with the Landy!. 7300 dry is well over 8000 wet. NO WAY you make the payload cut unless you throw out the interior, leave the family home and drive around with no more than two gallons of gas in the car! LOL, you all are killing me towing this stuff. Can it...

    Hydraulic Jack Suggestions

    Bought mine at Costco for $99. It's awesome. I bought it for swap out of my summer/winter tires on the Cayenne S. Use it regularly on the Landy and my Burb. In fact I used it yesterday for front brakes on the LR4. I also bought a 1/2 battery powered impact wrench (Milwaukee version). It's like...

    Uneven Wear in Front Brakes - anyone else?

    Just did my wife's 2015 first brake change. It's coming on three years old and has about 24,000 miles. My wife is probably the easiest person on a vehicle I have ever met. Coasts into stop signs, doesn't speed, etc. I just caught the fronts a nose hair before the sensor touched the rotor. By...

    Intelligent Start/Stop battery

    take my advice, don't fix it. There is NO value in stop start. Don't care what anyone says. Stop/Start is the second biggest EPA scam behind the emissions testing defeat code. Stop/start in a controlled EPA testing environment might have yielded better results, but I can pretty much guarantee...

    Sweet smell, coolant leak, ugh...

    our 2015 was producing the coolant smell and we had it in twice. They fixed it the last time with a new overflow cap. They told me the system is under pressure and it was seeping out. Skeptical, but the smell is gone. They also did the timing chain while it was in, so who knows. good luck

    Thought I'd share this one. I love Bring a Trailer and this one came across the auction. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-land-rover-discovery-3/ Interesting history.

    Booster seats with backs in 3rd row? 2016 LR4

    Hey Pceresia, No, it was easy. It took about 10 minutes. As I remember, just four corner bolts. Yes, the floor is free of wires, so there is no issue there. I think the factory carpet is under the seat. I used a factory floor mat turned upside down from my suburban to cover the space and kinda...

    I'll get specifics when I pick it up on Wednesday.

    "Ping" sound from engine when cold

    advisor told me he's done a number of them on the v6. Just talked to him today when I picked up a loaner.

    "Ping" sound from engine when cold

    okay, listened to those videos. Mine is tracking with the RPMs and sounds more like tappets sans oil then that engage/disengage sound of the fan clutch. So, I am inclined to believe that mine is indeed a timing chain slapping issue.

    "Ping" sound from engine when cold

    Had same thing on our 2015 with 22k miles. Dealer just called this afternoon and said timing chain. 22 frickin' thousand miles. you kidding me right now.

    Booster seats with backs in 3rd row? 2016 LR4

    yep, same here. Boosters with no latch, just the seatbelt. We have two in the back row and one latch in Britax in the middle row. Note: I removed the middle seat from the second row which makes it much easier for two in the 3rd row. Night and day difference.

    Not my month...22k. Timing chain and coolant leak, thoughts.

    Well during the brake job the other day, I noticed a clickity clackity noise when I did a cold start on the LR4 (2015 v6) last weekend. It sounds a bit like putting a baseball card in your spokes when you were a kid. I'm pretty close to the dealer so I drove it by but by the time I got there the...

    2015 LR4 Brake pad replacement video? Anyone

    I checked them. They were like new. There was no grime around it. I did lube the clip tracks. The pins didn't need it. once i bolted the calipers back on I checked the movement by hand. No problem. Additionally I put the micrometer on the back rotors. One was 20mm and the other was 19.8mm. I...

    General thoughts on buying a 2011 LR4 with 100k miles?

    "It's crazy but vehicles stored in a garage rust far quicker." Not sure where you are getting this information from, but that's not true. One could argue that leaving a salt encrusted vehicle inside a "heated" garage would minimally increase the process, but to suggest garaging it would cause...

    2015 LR4 Brake pad replacement video? Anyone

    Closing the loop on this. the pads only change on this vehicle was a snap. After being cautious on the first wheel, it took me about 10 minutes a wheel there after. Note: I was able to save the wear sensors and I have 1/2 impact and a floor jack so there's no messing around. It's fast and easy.
