Wheel hub lugs c/w bearings?
"If", those lug nuts are assembled like on my 95 D1 the nuts are drilled completely through but not threaded the last 1/4" at the top of the nut. The stainless cap is held on by small crimps at the base of each nut point with very little holding these caps on. By already mangling the cap I... -

Wheel hub lugs c/w bearings?
Best bet, (opinion) to use long extension, longer the better like 10" plus and go ape on the socket wiggling the end around in an orbit. Between that and a applying a breaker bar in reverse rotation (tightening) just enough to get the socket and SS cover back into their original flat to flat... -

Engine gone - No oil light came on
Sorry old chap, I didn't realize your in the UK vs USA. Any breaker's in the UK? I'd look into a good used long block or cheaper yet a used short block then build it up with all your old engine's accessories. Second option dismantle the old engine, check and see what must be rebuilt, repaired or... -

Engine gone - No oil light came on
Land Rover North America complaints department will tell you, "you should of checked your oil level at each gas fill up". Basically your screwed as they pull that attitude against owners with failure items with stronger cases against them at Land Rover. Only "if" NTSB had a safety recall demand... -

Replacement engine
Diesel engines in the US have been a battle allowing them, rather sad as they are clean running not like the diesels of the 70's era. I believe VW and BMW diesels are finally allowed stateside. Europe has high gasoline prices I found this out as I was in England during the "storm of the century"... -

2012 Range Rover Supercharged
I bet that 5-40wt oil is a lot lower on the 40 wt number due to normal oil breakdown especially at over 9K miles. Great to read zinc and phosphorus numbers in the oil. Zinc and phosphorus was banned in oil a couple years ago due causing reduced cat converter life. So they say, this just another...- BeemerNut

Replacement engine
As Joey mentioned 5.7 chebbie install which has become a popular and cheap item over the years. Your lucky to have the 4.6 vs 4.0, don't forget a 3.9 WAS in my 95 D1 5-speed. Same year D1's with auto were a total turd vs the 5 -speed. My vehicles must have manuals. An aftermarket chip sold by... -

Key turning round and round but not starting.
Low mileage for year, must be a around town vehicle having many starts hence ignition lock failure. Being dry and hard turning the key causing worn out failures. I recall the new ignition lock "must be programmed" hence added expense to a costly lock adding labor profits $$$$$$. My 95 D1... -

New: BORLA Catback Exhaust: 2012-2013 Range Rover Evoque
Good luck with getting a Borla muffler replaced like the cat back system I purchased new. Was later told the muffler design had a design problem. I wasn't "the only one with this failure problem" I was later told by daddy Borla not the kid John Borla as seen on TV. Sounding like a gallon paint...- BeemerNut

Spark plugs - then check engine light
A "real" Shelby GT500 would be a 1967 with 428 FE engine with a T-10 tranny. Had to poke at ya, no hard feelings bro. FE die hard at this end building 454 (not chubbies) & 484 FE's with a future planned 520 FE for the 68 F250 Ranger. My 95 D1 5-spd has been a brain test getting it debugged...- BeemerNut

Missing vacuum advance hose
I'd bet 75% plus all 3.9's with a distributor the vacuum advance unit diaphragm has failed not alone the mechanical advance unit not been cleaned, lubed and properly maintained. The plenum top nipple for vacuum advance signal only has app 0.011" drilled diameter passage hence a slow and... -

1996 disco 1 over fueling
You will overheat and destroy your Cats if you keep driving it in this condition, big $$$$ mistake. All eight plugs wet or just one or a couple? If just one it sounds like a leaking injector. Fuel temp sensor acting up telling the ECU to add more cold start fuel even at operating temp? You check... -

Loose head bolts?
Original 14 bolt heads once the outboard head bolts were torqued down this caused the head to be pulled down on the exhaust side unloading the clamping force under the other bolts. Blown gaskets the problem afterwards. Install the four outboard bolts but only torquing them down to snug only... -

2006 Range Rover Mileage
"I just take it in and get the pressure checked and they inflate with (nitrogen?) which is suppose to be better." Considering dry air contains a tad over 78% nitrogen gas Cosco must be making a bundle off the general not knowing public. Can you feel the 21% nitrogen ratio difference...- BeemerNut

5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?
I replied several posting back about an injector cleaning service and basically got a negative reply stating that the posted injector service company only showed low pressure 3 BAR (43.5 psi) injector service. Whoever that negative person was (I don't care), they are flat wrong. That injector... -

LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
Mileage between oil changes has nothing to do with preventing sludge buildup in any engine. The environment the engine must be operated in like every cold morning at near or below freezing temps plus driven only short distances. Never allowing the engine to get up to normal operating... -

5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?
From what i've seen and been told the LR3's and 4's 5.0 FMoCo engine's injectors rarely cause much a problem with only a couple cases happening around the 150K mile mark with them lasting no problem up to and exceeding the 200K mile mark. This injector information backing up my experiences with... -

5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?
Yes in the past i've worked on gas 2011 F150 Ecoboost direct injection systems. At 2,100 psi LR's 5.0 litre Rover direct injection I consider that not that high of a pressure system for a direct injection. Cummins 5.9 diesel (Dodge 2500) working around app 6,000 psi idling with over 20,000 psi... -

old thread; What's wrong with your old dizzy? Total unit replacement dizzy's in the USA ($$$$) are like the starter and alternator.

LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
Dang that sounds nasty as if its about to have a massive engine failure any moment. What best describes that video sounds like a 20 year old 580 C Case Backhoe with over 18,000 hard hrs on the hr meter. I bet these are interference engines and should one start to auto-disassemble itself it would... -

LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
I heard it as "timing chain guide slop". Slop must be the normal Limey standard of quality control. I had a brand new from LR 4.6 litre short block that once installed and running was a out of balance a shaker vibrating the dash at different rpm zones. Told by a LR certified mechanic that test... -

5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?
"D1 injectors are a slightly different animal from the older style low pressure injectors". Before the 1987 D1's I recall they only had carburetors not fuel injection. Crappy single squirt Lucas injectors removed from the 95 D1 and replaced with later era 4 hole Bosch injectors made a world of... -

5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?
I hope Saltyfly is reading your reply and saving $800 for other important repairs. Made up a set of six 24# Bosch injectors being pushed from 3.0 stock to 3.5 BARS testing on five different late 80's era 325is BMW's on track days. New inline fuel filters on all vehicles plus these injectors are... -

5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?
Saltyfly, can you post that TSB on this chain guide issues? Got my attention and curiosity up about this issue. In the past looking at high mileage Mercedes engines with worn chain guides but these engines had way over 200K miles on them. I'd consider that as normal wear for the mileage. I bet... -

2001 Discovery 2 power steering pump
Thanks Joey i'm still trying to locate Paul Lino. We used to chit chat as he was struggling to keep his D1 running up at the very northern part of Canada and civilization. On the D2's PS pump change from the D1's ZF sure sounds like LR went backwards instead of forwards progress. I bet heat is...
