Engine revs high upon start up
So true about decisions Scott. Accusing me being a "troll" I find insulting Scott. Evaluation of machinery is my aviation license background. Working with Allison turbo prop engineers for C130 birds as well 2800 Pratt & Whitney radial engine failure investigations involving dissecting massive... -

Do bushings save control arms?
Yes Poly's will go 100K miles without them becoming sloppy joints. With replacing ball joints get them with zerk fittings and lube them every other oil change. If "lifetime ball joints" that do not have zerks the ball does not have a grease groove allowing grease to get past the ball refilling... -

Is it dangerous to drive with these warnings?
Sorry typed in above by some unknown reason. Had to ask, how did you manage to put motorcycle rims on such a heavy vehicle as a LR? .....~~=o&o>..... -

Engine revs high upon start up
If it works for you go for it, everyone has different tastes. I have opinions i'm into durable proven mechanically sound not just looks and image. After replacing a pair of heads helping a friend's LR4 it confirmed my decisions never owning a LR3 or 4. Never considered owning one the day they... -

Engine revs high upon start up
Good to hear your problem (not mentally) has been solved as well the frustration level finally reduced. Too much computer controlled garbage and another example why I like and own a OB1 LR. -

Alternator
That's the best reply yet a shield protecting the alternator but far enough away for proper cooling. I made heat shields protecting the motor mounts from being cooked all the time, problem solved. I would be looking into a spare alternator like from a Pick-n-Pull off a lower mileage wrecked LR... -

Share your most expensive repairs
Damn Bro, that's crazy $16K. On the brighter side it looks like the tailgate didn't get damaged. Hell i'd be in a Pick-n-Pull of other wrecking yard with a carbide 4 1/2" wheeled cordless grinder and cut out a quarter panel section larger than what you need by 1". Study and make the proper cuts... -

Engine revs high upon start up
How can you trust cheap plastic parts which become brittle from heat and age when your out in the bush? Less plastic the better like aluminum valve covers, intake manifold no plastic cross overs. This includes plastic tanked radiators, custom oversize 100% brass radiator and burp plug no plastic... -

Coolant on the skid plate?
If it will make it to the dealership before having a meltdown failure. Possible flatbed tow required and that's to the closest dealership 3 hrs away, wow! That tow bill the dealership should also pay unless your insurance policy has a one tow a year free policy. It would be great to have the... -

Fuel leak and mechanics won’t let me drive it
Well written coverage, timing chains but not what causes those timing chain problems, the chain tensioner slippers the problem but not listed. I bet should you have approval of timing chain replacements they would reinstall the old slippers, no worries you'll be back again soon. Any NTSB safety... -

Coolant Leak
You would think LR would of spent a little more money on each vehicle now having higher quality materials used than these failing cheap AZZ quality but demanding high price plastic parts. The lost sales of LR buyers must outweigh any added upgraded production parts expense costs.They would of... -

Engine revs high upon start up
Not a LR but an example how not to treat engines. The wifey's 2010 Ford Escape 3.0 V6, at cold start 1,400 rpm's in neutral. Once started, counting off 3 seconds for the automatic's torque converter as well internal shift passageways first hydraulically filled, foot on brake allowing unlocking... -

Engine revs high upon start up
Sounds like a combination of high (normal smog equipped) under hood temps with the addition of age (heat cycles) on possibly (I believe) inferior design along with cheap plastic (LR bean counter) approved parts. Customer pays the price which rather sucks considering your hard earned cash spent... -

Engine revs high upon start up
Sorry, late reply. I'm into older vehicles like the 95 D1 (OBD1), I can work on and play with without stealership assistance. Able to read fault codes, repair and reset to blank. Only fault I get once or twice a year is a 048 "stepper motor idle too low". My fault with setup having a low cold... -

Airing down 19" tires
Bead lock rims research and testing results I investigated. Don't shoot me because these tests were performed on my ("old POS antique 95 D1"). A 5 spd with warmed over 4.6 engine a street only vehicle. Factory stance, HD springs, a lot stiffer anti-roll bars with poly bushings. Last time ever... -

Supercharger Rattle?

No idea what happened
I talked to a engineer a couple years ago who returned to the USA from England to retire, he was visiting a dealership I used to hang out at. He worked at the Ford plant in England supervising the manufacturing of LR's engines. He told me engines must be built to exactly what was noted in the... -

Airing down 19" tires
You got that right, extra tall bead lock rib designed for airing down not popping the tire off the bead. Inboard bead not so bad, outboard Damnnn. Try breaking the bead it's an experience you'll never forget if dismounting and mounting your own tyres. Michelin tyres nothing special. I have seen... -

Engine revs high upon start up
Not reading all the replies, that's the reason what ktm525 has stated. Great to rev a cold engine before oil pressure is established, before oil has made it to the to the rod oil slots designed to sling oil out of the rod bleeders for lubricating the cylinder bores. Dry starts anyone? This to... -

Factory Warranty Questions
I have to disagree on your third party coverage at least what I went through with one. Back in January 2000 picked up a 95 D1 5 spd owned by a doctor (PITA to dealership nit picking everything) that planned on keeping the vehicle. Full service as if end of lease turn in and paying it off plus he... -

What to do with my new D2
That's all? Look on the bright side as I have several wrenches for British iron like 37/64" or 21/32" for several odd ball sized nuts and bolts. Transition year vehicles having a mix mash between English and Metric must of been a real hoot to work on.....~~=o&o>.....
