    On Cold Starts, it pauses for half a second then starts

    Sorry, I just don’t understand what you’re worried about that for. My explanation for less than 1 second delay in cranking is the security system processing that data. When it becomes a problem is when the security software gets really confused and you have to hold the key in crank position for...

    On Cold Starts, it pauses for half a second then starts

    A half a second? What the fuck are you talking about? It doesn't crank for .5 of one second? How did you measure that?

    Crazy Timing Chain Failure / still learning after 43 years

    Not sure I mentioned that I’m looking at a 4.0 V6 in an ‘06 LR3. Customer states the car quit running while driving at highway speed. Engine bucked and surged, picked up power then shut down. I was not aware the Ford Ranger V6 engine was prone to catastrophic timing chain failure. What is...

    How bad is the 5.0?

    Timing chains suffer from the long service intervals. It's the most effected part of the engine they say. 16,000 mile oil change interval is just a selling point. It's not based on fact.

    How bad is the 5.0?

    I looked at one of them. I see it's a long list of vehicles that need engines I assume. Keep in mind that for some reason a lot of Land Rover guys out there are scared of this thing. So I'm guessing a good portion of those could be repaired. and less than half are really junk. Those engines...

    4.0 V6.

    I was told recently that the V6 LR3s are bringing more money than the 4.4 V8 models. You guys think that’s true? I would be surprised if that was the case

    4.0 V6.

    I opened this thing up. Front chain failed. I’m getting conflicting info on this thing being a free spin engine or not. It’s a Ford Ranger engine. Anybody know about that thing? I’m finding info that says there are 2 variants of this thing. One being an interference engine, the other is not...

    Should I buy this Range Rover?

    I think if you get it for under a grand it might be fun for a little while. But I’m sure it will have some catastrophic failure before too long. Then you have a parts truck.

    Bigger tires on an LR3.

    Maybe it's because I took that plastic shield out of it. The tire sits perfectly, drags on front and rear but barely. And then I just tried to stab the reciever in since you mentioned it being a no go. But it clicked right in.

    I just put the receiver in this one. It went in fine.

    Bigger tires on an LR3.

    I was surprized how well that sealant that is installed in vehicles without spare tires works. I have a little chevy cruze eco(no spare). I got a big chunk of metal in a tire too close to the side wall to fix. You use the compressor that comes in the kit to push the sealant into the tire. I was...

    It looks good I think. Fresh powder coated wheels. Replaced every sensor.

    Bigger tires on an LR3.

    What did you do about a spare? This truck had a space saver and the owner wanted 5 of the 265/65s. Its tight for sure, I think I would go a little smaller just so I could stuff the spare. I had to take that plastic shield out of there too to make enough room. Truck drives great with those on it.

    Bigger tires on an LR3.

    Deflated it slides right in. I only put about 20 lbs in it cause its going to push on the ear that the rear toe adjuster mounts to.

    Bigger tires on an LR3.

    I just came back to see what you guys did. Cause it's not going in there like this. I'm deflating it now.
