pcv hose blew off - bad egr or pcv valve?
I'd be a muffled puff sound more like it with like you mentioned then vapors streaming out. Usually a delayed ignition burn due to a leaness condition which ends up firing off the intake charge once a intake valve unseats then backfiring. Done large enough it can bend the throttle body... -

pcv hose blew off - bad egr or pcv valve?
That was an explosion that blew the hose off. Did by chance you added a little throttle or pumping the pedal while cranking this causing a lean slow burn condition and backfire in the intake tract which was common with 80's era BMW's. Owners not knowing how to PROPERLY START their engines vs... -

Temperature Thermostat issues resolved.
A smart move installing a 180 stat vs the higher factory stat. BTW it's a Federal and a No No to install a lower temp stat, a EPA enviromental or **** regulation thing. Best part there is no increase or difference in tailpipe emissions readings. The thing you must check first before installing... -

Seized Engine Removal
That's a rather nasty looking journal there plus what is under the other throw's journal as well the main to the left. JMO i'd replace the crank and one rod after checking the other one next to it, had that replacement rod checked for length, balanced both ends with an overall balance matching... -

Not once had anyone mentioned or had at hand a "fully dressed" engine set up on a stand, suggestion set with top of engine at a 4 foot elevation allowing easy... -

Saying Goodbye to my LR4 - Sad day
Reply number five by the thread starter mentioning "current presidents effect on my gas prices" is a sure thing that hit enveryone except those on the FED feeding trough supplied by us working class people. As far as the Toyota being called a "full size truck" the 5' 7.2" bed is not cosidered a... -

4-Wheel Alignment
Over the years reading about these newer four wheel independant suspension LR's that they appear to be not that durable even driven street only as on one reply driving in Dallas Texas their potholes knocking LR's out of alignment. Sure "better footed"being independant, more comfortable ride with... -

Best way to sell my LR4?
Yeah and the Stealership after lowballing you and giving the vehicle the required safety check, quick clean interior, wash and wax it'll be listed $22,000 more than you were offered 48 hours later. Surprised that Stealerships wouldn't be in the hunt for used quick flip and profit especially... -

4-Wheel Alignment
Wow, a 3 year 9 month old thread comes alive again. Solid axles forever at this hut. Checked a friend's 94 Disco a couple years ago that has more frequent air miles than a stewardress practicing the Mile High Club with zero alignment changes, this at over 30K hard miles since fully Poly... -

2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(
Don't forget anti-seize on the splined half shaft and inside the splined hub before assembly so it can be removed next time without all that pounding on the stub shaft. This brings up a question after reading hammer and drift besides air impact which is cosidered a hard impact hit now causing a... -

I bet those converter to flexplate are secured with Loctite thread locker. Man your into an expensive project, sell the kids to fund this project, JK! I got snagged into a 5.0 heads replacing by a friend that couldn't pass up a "sweet deal" LR. My first and last time touncing a 5.0 engine. He's... -

2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(
Your thread about removing the halfshaft? I read "driveshaft" in this thread then had to rethink what was going on what you ment vs what was posted? The secret is to have anything being hammered or chiesled apart is to have the item "bucked"---item being hammered or chiesled backed with... -

2010 LR4 LCA replacement...... drive shaft pain :(
That would be the old CP made in the USA not the rebirth CP name made in Chyna. IR compressors included now Chyna rubbish. I paid $473 for a CP air chisel 37 years ago, it still kicks **** able to destroy anything given a little time. Compressors also now imports vs the 5 Hp Saylor Beall with... -

Cracked fan shroud? Engine jumped off mount?!
Light gauge brass wire from the hardware store, drill several small (melt with ice pick) holes along the broken or cracked parts then stitch together. Tape the gule crap becomes soft and slides apart, don't use this unless for off the highway only at best. Eating the radiator next, how much to... -

Should I keep my 2018 LR Discovery Diesel long term?
Bock, this a water or oil cooled "cascaded turbos"? Either way if driven short stop and go around town a shopping mall adventure vehicle i'd add a shutdown timed delay turbo cooling circulation system if oil cooled avoiding dry spun bearings along with coked up bearing being cooled down with...- BeemerNut

Oil in intake manifold
This engine sounds like it needs an air/oil separator able to return downstairs vs a catch can. Puking that much oil vapor doesn't sound right no matter how good the engine is as it will coat and build up behind the intake valves rather quickly. Has anyone shoved a endoscope down the intake... -

Should I?
As far as CarFax goes, several LR's have been seen at a LR dealership that were clean but had damage repairs done by owners to body shops, one of those cash repairs no records required. This at a LR dealership service writer also a personal friend. Wow, this cost you $0.89 a mile to drive...- BeemerNut

Oil in intake manifold
Sure bet a replacement PCV valve is a lot cheaper than a valve cover replacement knowing LR pricing. Older vehicles have PCV valves you could take apart and clean, one snap ring your inside, cleaning and reinstall within 10 minutes. Never replacing one with a modern replacement throwaway. OEM... -

Should I keep my 2018 LR Discovery Diesel long term?
Better yet send your oil to a lab like Blackstone to get it checked for coolant or combustion byproducts in your coolant. Oil labs checking for different normal metals wearing off and if finding a spike increase in in any one type of metal this a sure warning sign before the big **** failure...- BeemerNut

Should I keep my 2018 LR Discovery Diesel long term?
Can you put a little light on what kind of failure your engine had and is this a known flaw or a freak thing like a blown hose or sudden loss of oil failure? It spun up to 5K rpm's and wasn't happy then having a "oil containment issue?" That would be rods sticking out the bottom of the oil pan...- BeemerNut

Should I keep my 2018 LR Discovery Diesel long term?
WOW!. How can your vehicle be reposseded when you own it free and clear? A forced buy back and what about the money lost that you paid for it? No legal action to get back all your money? Explain how bad the system was? Not picking on ya, I hate reading this type of crap. I did battle with...- BeemerNut

Speed sensor A
In the US wouldn't the left driver's side be "A", passenger right as "B" going off where the steering wheel is located being as "A"? Viewed from the driver's seat or standing at the front looking to the rear of the vehicle which way is on your left or right? Clockwise or anticlockwise the the... -

A/C pressure on IID or manifold gauges? Normal ranges?
Many people go by the static pressure chart readings of air temp vs psi numbers which are the same in the system at static full charge or very low having the same psi readings. Temperature pressure laws of R134a gas. Next they get a can with a gauge and recharge thinking all is good, they also... -

Coolant consumption
"couldn't enter any service notes", hell this sounds like they do not want any records of your loss of coolant issues. Go ahead and have it "officially documented as service issue problem", yes it will cost you this documented service vs should something happen later costing much more. Sure...- BeemerNut

Should I keep my 2018 LR Discovery Diesel long term?
What made you think that diesel will not be available? No way as without diesel as big rigs move this country, hell a three day zero items transported by big rigs would put the US to it's knees.
