Replacing sprockets for the cam timing
$8k US? That is $10.8k CAN or about what my LR4 is worth. Likely when the chains need replacing I either have to do it myself or say goodbye. -

Highest mileage LR4?
The LR4 is almost 14 years old as an early build 2010. I have owned since 70 k kms and currently 220k kms I have spent $10 102 US to keep it fairly tip top since I bought it. That is for everything including windshields and tires and other consumables. Not bad but more than my Ridgeline. This is... -

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
Mine (2010) is is great shape with close to 150k miles. Original chains, original air system, one new self installed water pump and one new front crossover. Other than a red overheat light the amber ones are generally not an immediate issue and can be dealt with. 99% of the time it is a dirty... -

Interesting read on Diff fill capacities.
On the front I believe I did it on ramps so there was some angle. Probably level was just below the fill if vehicle was completely level.. On the rear just to to the fill when sitting level. Opening another can of worms I used Royal Purple instead of the "factory recommended unobtanium Castrol... -

Well the manual does state not to use the fill holes as levels but then they give this nugget of insight lol. Good luck. -

Interesting read on Diff fill capacities.
fill to spill and chill. This is my method. No leaks or blown seals for the past 18 years on my LR3&LR4. I did cut the breather caps on the LR3 as they were known to plug. -

Rear door frame rust - driver/passenger sides
Good call. My 2010 underside looks worse (the big skid plate is looking nasty) but my doors look ok. -

Rear door frame rust - driver/passenger sides
Yeah strange. BC is a big place. Do they salt the roads in your neck of the woods? -

Rear door frame rust - driver/passenger sides
It's 14 years old. If it is from a salt dumping state or province then corrosion sucks but not surprising. -

Engine smell when flogging it
As long as you are fine at pay to play then have at it. These things take enough TLC without flogging lol. You are rebuilding this engine anyway with some high performance version though anyway? -

Nothing good comes from flogging an elderly engine. -

Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
Chasing problems on these are expensive. If something is broken or leaking then I fix it , otherwise I let it be. Has served me well on a 2006 LR3 with 290k kms and a 2010 LR4 with 210k kms. Original tensioners and chains and I don't even own a IID. :) -

Amber Check Engine Light ON
Clean your MAFs. If that doesn't work run a can of BG44K through the gas tank.
