    Just hit 49,000 miles - extended warranty or roll dice?

    You have two choices, get the warranty or put $10k into a savings account to cover future repairs.

    Alarm Drama.

    Well it would seem I am the only person to have this issue, the driver side door latch actuator has failed and parts are on order. As for the spring, who the hell knows....

    Alarm Drama.

    I have a 2011 LR4 that all of a sudden the driver door will not lock but all others do and if you open the driver door a two tone alarm goes off, I found a spring on the driver floor board and wanted to know if anyone has a clue to where this may belong?

    Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues

    So this morning I took the wife RR in for A/C repair and oil change, when I called to see if it was ready the manger said oh the timing chain is no where near ready for pick up so I laughed and no the A/C repair RR. Turns out its a 2015 RR HSE 5.0 super charged with failed timing guide and it...

    Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues

    I am the second owner of my 2011, per carfax some minor stuff replaced like water pump and cooling fan, driver side door squeak and 15k oil changes on time (not good). At 100k I started to hear clanking from driver side, not at cold start but after a short drive, (NO CODES) and the driver...

    Change of battery - does the ECU definately need to be reset?

    I have three rovers, in Vegas the summer heat just destroys batteries and I average 2-3 years at best. I have never had the cars computer reprogrammed BUT I always replace with the same style batteries just different brands and have had zero issues including one alternator. I believe if you...

    2012 LR4 High Throttle Hesitation

    Seafoam had zero to duo with bad valve guides or seals. Poor ENGINE design HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH BAD VALVE GUIDES/SEALS.

    Back in for another major surgery.

    Got the LR4 back this morning and wow, sharp snappy smooth to sum it up. The only thing I can't understand is why both heads had several cracked valve guides and is that common?

    2012 LR4 High Throttle Hesitation

    Seafoam in the tank and you will notice a difference, I usually add a full can to 1/4tank but that's just me lol.

    LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?

    Or just typical cold startup on incline although mine has never done that even before timing updates. I would assume low oil or improper viscosity.

    Lower control arm... ugh!

    They are a pain and videos make it look easy, between my sledge hammer and cheap harbor freight air hammer I got mine to bust loose.

    Back in for another major surgery.

    I have spent the better part of my life trading cars out when they needed new tires or recommended maintnance was due so for me to spend money on a big ticket repair twice on the same vehichle is unheard of but the LR4 is perfect. The machine shop said they found several broken valve guides on...

    Back in for another major surgery.

    Over the past couple weeks I have noticed white smoke at startup and after checking the oil level it was at half (NOT GOOD) so I took it to my local guy and sure enough number 7 valve seal is leaking oil into the cylinder. I did have all the timing and cooling components replaced this past...

    Well crap!

    I have been using my ultra gauge for just over a year now and it is a engine saver, I have my temp alarm set to 210, last summer Vegas hit 112-116 is some parts but my temp never goes above 190 driving and idle in drivethru never went above 208. The alarm feature is the best feature.

    Tire Sensor?

    My wife 08'RR tire sensor goes off randomly and Land Rover confirmed the controller is bad and that sensors in the wheels are all working. My question is can I replace the controller with a used one or can the GAP tool disable this feature? Now, I will need to order the GAP tool if it will...

    2012 LR4 - Ticking saga...

    At cold start up mine made no metallic noise, if I drove to say the store then after restart it sounded like a diesel but no all the time and also I noticed when slowing to a light or stop sign with the windows down you could slightly hear the same noise. I paid a shop to just replace...

    Removing rusted-in OEM tow hitch

    I went full retard on mine, nothing worked, from heat to hammer so I drilled a small hole in bottom where the ram thing slides, used a good hardened punch and beat it out and welded the hole shut when done. The slide pin was rusted in place.

    2012 LR4 HSE for sale

    Dang, if I didn't already own a white LR4 in Vegas I would jump on this. Sadly like most crack heads I am a little heavy with three Rovers lol...

    LR4 whining noise turned into a loud clicking noise now

    Does it change with increased idle?

    Check Engine, DTC Codes and Diagnostic scanner for LR4

    Have you tested the alternator?Check cold voltage and then start the vehicle and recheck to voltage, my R3 and R4 have both shown random codes with a bad alternator giving out fluctuating voltage.

    It could be oil rings or valve seals, Im sure someone will chime in with more experience...

    2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle

    Doesn't oil pressure affect the tensioner? Like if the ratcheting has failed but oil pressure is high enough to take up the slack when the engine is warmed up? Or am I totally wrong lol...

    Should I get this LR4?

    Depends on how much they are asking for the LR4, I just had my timing system replaced for $3500 and had them replace all the cooling system components then a week after taking delivery I took it back and they had to replace the driver valve cover so all in Im setting at $5400. My car is a 2011...
