Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
I don't do Facebook (any type). The signal-to-noise ratio was never good and over the years I hear it has only gotten worse. -
Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?
No Chevron near me (or at all in New England, as far as I've seen). Not a member of Costco either, although I've heard it's good fuel. -
Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?
Yup Shell V-Power 93 here. On trips I will use Shell or Mobil premium. If I must I will use Sunoco. Yes, I am a fuel snob on all my cars. -
LR4 Rear Ladder Install Help
Agreed. If that doesn't work, visegrip and let rotate until it rests on something to prevent rotation. -

Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?
I agree with 2nd opinion/quote. It will be expensive no doubt, but I am not sure that all sounds like $6.7k-expensive. -
LR4 vs Defender
And at 43k miles, I thought I had the lowest mileage LR4 in the forum. As I've mentioned many times, we also have plans to keep this thing as far as I can see into the future. -
Buying a used high mileage 2010 LR4
To be honest, I'm not familiar with the used LR4 market.I happen to have a late V8 with low miles that I ordered myself, so I never check the early high mileage market. That said, all the potential concerns of things that could happen aside, yes it is higher mileage, but it seems to have a lot... -
Buying a used high mileage 2010 LR4
You mention the stack of receipts and your research (which is great), but other than LCA's, I did not see you mention evidence of any of the important things to look for: 1) Frequent oil changes 2) Crossover pipe(s) 3) Timing chain guide work 4) Transmission fluid change 5) A working e-brake... -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
Thanks, I misread that. That's awesome that it was at the buzzer and done under warranty! -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
What was your oil change interval? -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
I've never heard of this. Timing chains (unlike timing belts that need replacement every 60-80k miles) have traditionally been lifetime parts. I believe that is the case for the LR4 as well. I don't recall a replacement interval for the chain and I'd think it would have come up in one of the... -
Questions about new purchase
From what you describe, this car seems like a great find. Decent maintenance records from dealer, no noises, etc. That said, it is 8-9 years old and with 100k miles. Stuff will come up. What are your expectations? If I were looking at that LR4 as a car I'll put 15k+ miles per year and the... -
Can a 2013 LR4 be upgraded to Heavy Duty?
I believe the question has been asked and the answer has been that is it cost-prohibitive and one would be better off going aftermarket. But I personally have no knowledge of the challenges in doing so. -
Hitch - cracked
Exactly. As a mechanical engineer who designed lots of stressed machinery components I find investigating mechanical failures pretty fascinating. -
Hitch - cracked
Good call. I hardly ever tow, so that loading mode didn't occur to me, but that is about the only scenario that would explain it. -
Hitch - cracked
That is an odd failure mode. Hard to imagine that area being particularly stressed. Was this new when you bought it? -

Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
Ouch. The thing is, you have to imagine that chain was making a racket and it was ignored. Maybe I am being hopeful but the warning signs some people are oblivious to never stop amazing me. -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
That is correct. There is a video showing the old and new. My understanding was that that was the "2013" change. -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
I suppose I'll add my own data but it has too low a mileage to matter, I think. - July 2013 production. Bought new. Now ~43k miles - Oil changes yearly or at most every 7.5k miles with OEM Castrol during 4-years of warranty and Mobil1 EP 5W-20 since. - No engine issues at all. -
Let's try to get the facts down on tensioner issues
We've discussed tensioner-related issues a lot on this board over the years. I think it would be helpful to summarize what we know. I'll start with a poor attempt and hopefully we can get to a consensus. 1) We all agree with the fact that the oil change interval should be reduced from the... -
LR4 suddenly won't start/crank. Even with fully charged battery and/or jump
Could this be a way to skirt the need to "program" a new battery? Has anyone installed a new battery without any sort of programming and had no trouble at all? -
Your experience about LR4 V8 5.0
Luckily my BMW has a non-resetting defeat button. It's also a stick, so I could just keep the clutch in as well.
