Wow. I have a lift tied up at work right now with a leaking flange. People traded out of it because of it. Now it's ours. Blue I could get you the info on this one if you are interested. It's kind of far I know. But I think you should look for a L322. But look for an 08 or better still an 09. With the 4.4. Not the 4.2 supercharged. That is and probably always will be my favorite Range Rover.
Looking at a 2013 LR4 - main areas of concern?
- Thread starter Blue
- Start date
As I drove the D1 this morning, it occurred to me that this truck required ONE flatbed ride in 21 years and 247 thousand miles of my custody - because of a failed POS S-10 parts-store steering pump.
Maybe I shouldn't part it out yet.

I never saw a fuel pump flange fail until I moved to California. We would see them at least once a week and I’m surprised Land Rover didn’t do a recall because of it. I wonder if the California has caused them to deteriorate quicker than other areas or if I just never happened to see one on the east coast.
I think there is something coming down the chain right now. Something on a Jag I had to order parts for. I'm with you though. I havent seen it untill recently. Right now one of my guys has a lift tied up with the one thats leaking, another has one of the wires burning up in the fuel pump electrical connector part of the flange. Lots of flange issues it seems. I think I told you about a car a couple years ago that was throwing a fault because the fuel pump dwell was too high. I sold a pump and flange but the service adviser decided to sell just the pump cause I was just crazy or something like that. He got to pay me for putting the flange in a week later. I thnk the check valve for holding fuel up in the system is in the flange, not the pump.
Land Rover San Diego’s $372 (and that’s a discounted price because I’m cool) PPI, besides saying it’s one of the best they’ve seen, came up with 3 issues:
1. Brake fluid looks a little dirty, recommend flush at next service.
2. Air filter is a little dirty and could use a new one.
3. Starter motor sounds a bit funny, let’s sell you a new one.
But nothing really need to be done, we were just searching for something.
I think I’ll buy it tomorrow, if we can hash out the details. Peter, we’ll have to grab a beer when I fly in to pick it up. You just can’t touch it, you’ll break something.

Do you still have my digits? Ping me whenever you're in town. I can give you a ride to the dealer if you want.
Spotted Blue and pm at the dealership this morning.
