    What Spares to Carry On 2016 LR4

    Theres a small coolant coupler with a bleed cap near the throttle and pcv valve. Carry a brass barbed connector you can pick up from ace hardware. I would put one in there right now if you still have that shitty plastic thing in there. And still have one in your kit. But it will just save...

    LR3 readiness

    Does your scan tool tell you what test has not run? Can it tell you what the fuel trim is doing? It takes about 20% rich or lean to throw the light, but I've seen it being at 10% keeping it from running evaps tests. Outside of that there are specific drive cycles that need to be carried out in a...

    Brakes.. Can't get good parts anymore

    No Genuine mounts available? I checked it should be these for a Disco1 ANR2807. Thats original equipment should still be available. The Disco 2 mounts are still available but pretty expensive. KKB102602 @ $431.19 list. Wow.

    v6 timing chain: is this an engine out operation?

    Yes they suck. I had one a while ago and had to pull the engine because the right side chain is on the rear of the engine. I called a ford guy I know and he confirmed they suck. He told me basically fuck that engine I just replace them when the chains let go. It's not a free spin engine so it...

    LR3 running rich (I'm puzzled)

    This is really important. On these engines if you leave the dipstick up out of the tube and cause a lean fault you have to reset adaptions or the light will be back on in a mile or less. Not sure why.

    Old Timers Unite

    Any sign of the rear ones? Those don't seem to split like the front ones, but they leak just the same.

    If the cruise control didn't work after the bumper got hit it was probably just a bent bracket the cruise module sits on. $36. Since the bumper cover is soft it goes back to normal shape. The bracket not so much.

    I think you'll like the car. When they first came out the rear suspension was so improved that there was no good reason to buy an Evoque

    interesting. I can see that but why so long? I went back to work part time. I'm seeing a lot of really messed up stuff. All I do is problem cars and I never run out of them.

    I haven't seen the new aluminum outlets yet. I heard about them. The aftermarket aluminum ones are supposed to be junk.

    LR4 Reliability

    You're just not looking in the right places. The adds always say "it has a misfire" "it overheated" but never it needs an engine. You read between the lines. They try to make it seem like a good mechanic can get it going by rubbing his dick on it.

    anyone else affected by the JLR parts delays?

    I think there are so many people who don't give a shit running things at all levels. They can't ship a windshield without breaking it. They always change stuff to make it worse. The inmates are running the asylum.
