Bank 1. Two things I noticed was jacket wear on one plug wire and the ground strap nut on the firewall from bank 1 was loose. Time will tell if these were the issue. The problem occurred on cold start up and lit the check engine light immediately. I would cycle on/off until the misfire...

I decided to relocate my coils after fighting a sporadic misfire. My plan was to locate the coils on opposite sides of the engine close to the firewall. This is a non-SAI engine so it made for much available room. The coils were removed after the tedious task of accessing them. I used scrape 12...

These are a direct bolt-on. The tpms sensors (315khz) were swapped over from the factory alloys. I like the look and access to more tire options.

If you have the heads shaved you’ll need to confirm adequate lifter to rocker clearance. Crower lifters require.020-.060 clearance between the rocker arm and valve stem. I would surmise that any lifter also need said clearance. Adjustable or shorter pushrods might be called for.

I wasn’t at my best. Probably in the .003 range. I counted coils and mic’d the thickness. Both were the same. I don’t have a pressure gauge to measure these though.

Well, I never got any input which I expected anyway. I’m going to install the spacer I machined on the lathe to provide some spring tension on the plug but free flow oil.

Referencing a later V8, I’m going through the timing cover/oil pump assembly. There is one pressure relief spring (bottom right facing the engine) that’s a no-brainer. It recirculates oil around the pump if pressure exceeds the factory spring. On the left hand side is another spring that by all...

Are 2015 LR4 front seats a direct replacement in a 2013 LR4?

Thanks. I’ve seen those parts with every search from 2008-2016 both LR and Jag. I guess I’ll be converting over since my ‘13 lr4 apparently has the only hose/tube assembly made.

Thank you very much!

Well, that makes me feel better knowing that LR can’t even identify, let alone supply, the parts for a 10 year old vehicle no matter where the part was sourced.

I’ve been on the phone with a LR dealer this morning. According to my VIN the part number is LR013687. However, that is not correct. The parts guy now says it appears the hose/pipe assembly I need is in a larger package of hoses as a group. He can’t confirm until Monday morning. I’ve looked...

Do you know the part number?

I’m looking for the part number of this hose and tube assembly. It is V’d at both ends. The water pump end has that 90 degree connector that pushes into the water pump housing and the other to the outlet for throttle body heating. The other end goes to the reservoir and the radiator through...

Anyone know this truck? It’s a long drive to be disappointed. 1999 D1 SD (with sunroofs sadly). Looking for a project for my grandkid but don’t want a heap.
