Looks like I will be doing a power steering flush and replacing the return hose tomorrow before heading off to uwharrie. First really cold day of the season and my pump was screaming at me, would hardly turn without some rpm’s. I’ve had the return hose sitting in the shed for a few months now...

It has been a hot minute since I’ve posted on here. (Range rovers forum too). I’ve got quite a few updates for the disco today! I haven’t had much time to work on it the past few months but she’s been running strong and still the daily driver as the Range Rover is now the wife’s lol. So to...

I certainly agree! Being that they are rapidly disappearing due to engine failure they will become a rare find in another 10 years. They are much more fun to drive then the earlier gens l322 as well! Extremely capable rigs and extremely good looking! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What better way to celebrate the Range Rovers return to the road then taking it camping! That’s exactly what I did last weekend. September 15th was the opening day for musterground rd and horse pasture rd. Being that I haven’t been out to musterground yet I decided it was finally time to go...

Adam got his lr4 back yesterday after being down for about a month and change. Nice to see both rovers on the road! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After a week of the wife driving the Range Rover, we have zero leaks, it’s idling great, and running way smoother and less lethargic then it has since I picked it up. The only issue I am seeing now is at 45mph it starts to run rough, almost like a stutter, then once you accelerate a little more...

No pictures or anything for this update, buuut I got the Range Rover back together with a new plug and was able to drive about 50 or so miles with no issues. (Knock on wood) I’m hoping it stays that way for the rest of forever. Glad to have it back on the road though. This week will tell if we...

Cross over pipes are done, new gaskets installed. Crank it up, start bleeding the system and the outlet vent tube that runs to the reservoir blew. [emoji849]. Replaced that….crank it up, bleed the system. Everything is looking good, running strong, went to bleed from the bleeder nut by the...

Not having a dipstick is in the top 100 dumb things land Rover did with these motors. The digital gauge is awful. Pcv should fix the oil issue in the intake but if the motors over filled then it’s not going to help it much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry it’s been a while, life has a way of taking up all of your time sometimes. That being said I have finally gotten around to further investigating the coolant leak and it looks like both front and rear cross over pipes are leaking. I have replacements on the way and hope to have them swapped...

No dice on the elbow fixing the leak. All the coolant still looks like it’s coming from that area though above the water pump. I’m guessing at this point it’s the outlet y pipe. I’m going to pull the intake and intake manifold off next week and start digging. I’ll try to get a pressure test on...

Coolant leak is getting worse so I went ahead and replaced the elbow again with a new brass kit. The new brass elbow fit much better then the previous one that didn’t seat in the connector. The plastic one was very loose and moved pretty freely until I went to remove it. It ended up snapping off...

On a side note the Rover is still leaking coolant but can’t pinpoint exactly how or where it’s leaking. I thought it was the part I had previously replaced and it Possibly still could be. It’s not consistent at all and no obvious signs of leakage aside from the coolant level dropping and some...

Trip Report Last weekend (4th of July weekend) the Range Rover made its second camp trip. Originally it was supposed to be a Friday-Tuesday trip but due to weather it was cut short Sunday night. Friday Our trip started out about 3 in the afternoon on Friday. We met up with my dad in his...

Leak on the Range Rover seems to be coming from the plastic hose that connects to the elbow that was leaking previously. I’m going to order another assembly and see if I can do a quick swap out. (I’m pretty sure I actually have a spare one already.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
