    Buy an LR3 with a bad engine?

    I don’t think it’s required for the LR3 but definitely makes it easier. It’s the 5.0 that requires the body to be removed, although it is possible to do it without

    LR3 readiness

    I have seen a bag thermostat cause that issue without ever setting a fault for the thermostat. It’s a reach, but also a cheap part to replace.

    Turnkey Engine Supply sells new ones that are thicker than the original. Also could try will Tillery

    JLR metal front crossover pipes

    My local dealer has them and is trying to hoard them, at least until they've sold the remaining plastic inventory to the local independent shops.

    Requesting help identifying connector 2004 D2 4.6 V8

    It's tight getting the CkPS plugged in. When I replace one, I usually plug in the sensor from the top before bolting it in place. The connector should be clipped into a bracket on the back of the left side cylinder head.

    Reliability of LR3 4.4L vs LR4 5.0L V8?

    I’ve actually never seen the plastic fail on the 3.0/5,0 engines. I’ve actually seen a guide snapped in half and the plastic was still holding up. The real issue is the steel tensioner wearing the aluminum guide. The updated guides have a steel insert to reduce wear.

    My local dealer has a bunch in stock, but they are still selling the plastic ones to the independent shops. They’re anticipating JLR not being able to keep the metal pipes in stock. I wish they would do a rear pipe in metal

    The worst part about that is they have now released aluminum pipes to replace the plastic ones, so the ones installed are obsolete. I pulled the warranty history on ours and it had coolant pipes, windshield, and timing chains done within the last two years.

    Alfred's Holy Grail - Low RPM High Torque RV8

    Do you have any interest in making a 5.7L Rv8? my colleague has a RV8 block with I think a Buick 350 crank, top hat liners, ect. I don't know that he's trying to sell it, but he's spent a fortune on machine work for it. While we love the Rv8, he's moved onto the LS platform.

    We bought a 2018 D5 a few months ago and were just talking about how much we like it more than we thought we would. Initially we were going to get a V6 L405, but a high spec D5 is pretty comparable to a base spec RR and half the price. It's definitely ugly, but I think all new cars are.

    Chat GPT response valid or BS

    I have ChatGPT make me a chart for CAN bus voltage and resistance readings in both a functioning state, and also with various faults. It was mostly accurate, but also gave some very obviously wrong information. If someone used this chart without understanding a CAN bus they would no be able to...

    A few of us were just reminiscing about the trail marshals at MAR (2005?) open carrying just the other day. What about KVT?
