Cloud of Smoke
How much oil are you consuming? Billowing blue clouds would normally require quarts of oil added between changes. o_O -
Any Dash Cams you particularly like for being inconspicuous / ease of install?
It depends where you live, but in many states, yes a GOOD radar detector is useful. On the west coast, laser is not very common. And of course a detector is not a license to speed; most patrol cars use instant-on radar so there may not be much more warning than with laser. It definitely help... -
Brake noise question
It is extremely unlikely the calipers are the cause of the problem, assuming the guide pins are lubricated properly. From your previous posts it sounds like you lubed the pins so that isn't likely either. Are you 100% certain the problem is with the front brakes (i.e., the steering wheel... -
5.0 Engine Mount blown
I've never done this either, and the factory service manual is a little unclear, but it does look like a pain to replace them. I'd poke around Google and YouTube and see if anyone has posted tips/tricks. -
5.0 Engine Mount blown
There are a few Land Rover dealers online that sell at a slight discount. Shipping may vary widely between sites so you'll to go through the checkout process to see actual ship charges. I don't have Microcat available right now to confirm the part number for the engine mount, but the current... -
Alternative to Dealer Only Castrol Professional "E" for 2014-16 LR4's
There's also Motul Specific 948-B in 5W-20 weight, claimed to be suitable for the V8 engines (original spec 925-A). 5-liter jug of 5W-20 at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Motul-106352-Specific-Synthetic-Fluid_Ounces/dp/B01J1CQWQI/ -
Brake noise question
What kind of noise do you have occasionally? I am using the OEM Ferodos with zero noise (but they are a little dusty). Akebonos, and ceramics of any type, are prone to squeal when cold... and often take a very long time to bed in. If all you care about is extremely low dust, great, ceramics are... -
Alternative to Dealer Only Castrol Professional "E" for 2014-16 LR4's
Unless you live in the Arctic, there will be no real-world difference between the 5/20 and 0/20. The zero-weight stuff is strictly to squeak out another 0.000x% in fuel economy. I should have my first UOA from 5W-20 Red Line in a few months. -
Alternative to Dealer Only Castrol Professional "E" for 2014-16 LR4's
Yes, 0W-20 was spec'd for fuel economy. I personally would have no issue using 5W-20 instead, actually I would prefer that over 0W-20. Disclaimer - I own a 2010 with the V8, however the V6 is the same design with the back 2 cylinder blocked off (seriously, it's a bizarre design). There is... -
Costco's Kirkland Signature 5W-20?
BITOG forum claims Kirkland is likely coming from Warren, same as Supertech… mentioned around page 6-7 (lots of off-topic chatter here): https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/5283735/ -
Brake noise question
Just curious, were the Brembo pads a "ceramic" compound..? :2in1: -
Costco's Kirkland Signature 5W-20?
5W-20, same as the original factory fill. -
Costco's Kirkland Signature 5W-20?
I personally like to use something that is at least "recommended for" the original spec, although as mentioned above, it's probably not the end of the world. There are old threads discussing the spec in more detail. If you want to use the insane 15kmi change interval only specified in USA... -
Oil change and 64K service
Since the LR dealer in Idaho no longer carries 5W-20 (only 0W-20), at my last oil change I switched to Red Line 5W-20. Should have an oil analysis by summertime to see how it compares with the dealer Castrol. I intend to change it every 5kmi, although it could probably go longer if the UOA looks... -
What's your LR4 2015 Coolant Preference?
There's already a thread on this for the V8, AFAIK the V6 is not any different: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/lr4-5-0-antifreeze.40796/ Copy/paste of my post on the other thread: There are many, many horror stories about DexCool… Google if you want to read up on it. However, the... -
Camber adjustment??
The shop is wrong. The factory manual indicates that camber is adjusted by rotating the control arm eccentric bolts, as Ryan mentioned above. No shims are used. FSM screenshot below. -
DIY Oil Change for LR4
Anyone have both filters side by side to take some photos of both STP and Genuine/JLR together? -
LR 4 Retired
Plus eleventybillion to all of the above: ^^^ :rock: Our 2010 LR4 (124kmi) is not the daily driver, but rather the specific-duty scenarios you mentioned above. If anything happened to it, we'd look for another one, probably a 2013 with lots of neat options. :D I haven't found any other vehicle... -
Want to paint my brakes
For that particular project, yes, I was happy with the results, and it looked good with the wheels mounted. There were some imperfections in the finish but nobody else would notice except me, and you'd have to pull the wheels to see them anyway. That was my first attempt, I think I'd do a better... -
Skidding to a stop on snow and ice
Same question as above... what you describe sure sounds like a tire issue. :eek: -
Metal Trans Pan - Gasket?
Note about using adhesive... only use this between pan and gasket. Scraping goop off the transmission flange is not fun. Another option is using sealant like Permatex "Right Stuff", with a THIN bead between pan and gasket. -
Want to paint my brakes
Painting calipers is a real nuisance to do properly. Lots of tedious prep work required to clean the surfaces. It's easier if you do it with the calipers attached, only painting the visible portions, but still not fun. You need paint specifically designed for calipers, it will tolerate the high... -
Oem or Aftermarket Spark Plugs
+1 ^^^. Google for articles and videos on counterfeit NGK plugs. -
Has anyone here supercharged or turbocharged their LR4?
Yeah, there is a Sport mode! Slide the shift lever sideways. It mostly monkeys with shift RPM's. :confused: -
