    Lr4 oil level meter capacity

    I just removed my like” above as the more I think about it, I check all my fluids twice a week (my father would have had me do it every time I took the vehicle out) I always look for any puddles on the garage floor and I do not trust the dummy lights. No, I don’t need a dummy light for low oil...

    Batteries

    We can just look at alternators in the modern age as “maintainers”, not ”chargers”. And recall that the owner’s manual makes it clear. If a low battery is detected: “drive the vehicle for 30 minutes if above freezing… or 60 minutes if below freezing”. (section marked “Vehicle battery”...

    Horrible rattle from sunroof area

    The workshop manual describes how to install all body panels including the skylights. There is no value in hypothesizing what is the issue without any investigation. I would already have the headliner out (takes 10 mins). Though the workshop manual does not define that this is necessary. What...

    maintenance history since new 2013

    Yep, I could be driving all kinds of other vehicles. But I want my LR4, even with its high level of care.

    Failed emissions - no faults

    This is not just an LR issue. All modern cars need sufficient learned and stored data to pass these tests.

    Why do american trucks get much better mpg that the lr4?

    It might have the aerodynamics of a building but the road and off road handling is exceptional… especially this time of year with the weather. I have noticed a major difference in mileage by just keeping the speed down to 60 mph/100kph on the highway. And at the end of the day, what’s a few...

    Batteries

    And just to add, those pro rated warranties are a waste of time in my mind. For the mere few dollars in savings they are buying customer loyalty. Most of you have more patience than I; I don’t bother putting the battery on the charger unless I’m working on the vehicle. The moment the battery...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    Get this, I know of an instance where he tapped out by abandoning his vehicle at the shop. Apparently he destroyed his 3rd engine!! How do you do that, you ask? 1. on the first engine, ignore the timing chain rattle 2. on the second engine, never change or check the level of the oil… be sure to...

    Anyone care to admit this was them? Off the edge of a cliff and recovery from Matt's Offroad Recovery.

    …. Or just lessened the cost of insurance and improved the worth of the vehicle, lol. Announce these facts as a youtube video so it becomes mainstream thinking!

    Metal coolant plumbing for LR4?

    I had this very conversation with my very experienced Inde (LR master mechanic from Scotland). His position was in this case “stick to oem”, even though we do like going through the britparts catalogue. So that is what I’ve done. They are plastic, they are a maintenance item, I’m ok with...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    @Quijote , If I ever see a Mass. plated LR4 in my haunts, be prepared for a beep. @ryanjl , too true. Or as @BigBriDogGuy is contemplating; lets just factor in that the previous owner was better suited to own a pos and, we will take on the corrective action. Therefore, go get that preventative...

    Highest mileage LR4?

    @quijote…. would you go for a drive, please ;) I used to drive from Ottawa to Boston a lot. May I propose an outing to Kennebunkport Maine? Manchester VT? Bar Harbour? or just Mount Washington?

    Low tire pressure indicator light didn't shut off

    I think this is one of the stupid systems on our (and other) vehicles. 1. It always rusts out 2. I get to reach under the vehicle to get it 3. Try this off road in the muck 4. You have to clear the way to access the system in the rear of the vehicle anyways… So, to the engineer who designed...

    Lr4 oil level meter capacity

    The electronic oil level sensor is accurate… when it works. I’ve taken a page from someone else’ solutions: Immediately following an oil change, I check the level with (drum roll please) a dip stick!! That is, I shove a whipper snipper line down the oil extraction tube. And mark the level...

    Yes, We are about the same. I burn .25l in 5000km.

    Lr4 oil level meter capacity

    I have read the oil change procedure in the workshop manual, twice. There is no calibration of the oil level sensor that I see. What I read is, while in maintenance mode, check the level, if low add oil, ignition off, ignition on, in maintenance mode check oil again. It clearly states in the...

    Only 5 quarts of oil drained second oil change in a row (also… drain plug?)

    I would think that excessive. I’m at 160k kms. Mine was dropping 1.5l in 5000 km however, following the PCV replacement I am down to .25l / 5000 km.

    Metal plumbing available for LR4 coolant system?

    Is there really a need to have 2 threads for the same topic, @M5Z3M ?

    maintenance history since new 2013

    But you have me at a disadvantage…. what is the year of your vehicle. And again I table the argument that if one cheaps out on maintenance, repair bills will be higher. For example, with the many types of materials used in the construction of engines today, it is a mistake to not change all...

    Idle Help

    Well, I reset the adaptations, once a year, every year. But I’m not convinced that would have anything to do with idle.
