DISCOVERY LR4 BROKE DOWN. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

- Heading home from Melbourne to Sydney and received a low level coolant alarm.
Don't let this happen to you!
Let me know in the comments below if this has happened to you and how you sorted it.
I noticed a slight wear mark on my 2013 D4 as well when I first bought it.
I also noticed a protective sleeve over the hose that lad slid down the hose a bit and was allowing the rubbing to take take.
It seemed obvious to me that this was what the sleeve was on the hose for.
Pays to keep a roll of that self amalgamating tape that's specifically designed for temporary repair of a split/burst coolant hose in the vehicle. You just never know ... and you can bet on Murphy's Law.
That sleeve wasn’t in the right place even on the new hose I bought.
Nice one, I'm sure Vera (LR Time) would be pleased to know of that possible failure!
Well done and as they say always have a back up.))))) from over the pond 🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it matey😉
Ah the joys of LR ownership. Well done and I too will take heed!
Definitely the joys of LR ownership LOL.
Good video. Specialist LR dealer in Melb pointed this out to me also, replaced my tube which was also wearing, and made the cut-out in the plastic cover larger.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul! It was probably the same independent I think it was Ritters from memory.
Would greatly appreciate if you would consider subscribing to the channel as Ive got more awesome content planned including full list of mods done to the Disco...
@@outbackshadz3809 Yep, Ritters. Also, like the look of the discreet winch.
We just had that part replaced..the fact is all..as in ALL..the hoses should be changed every 80,000 Miles like clockwork. The Transmission Fluid every 80,000 miles and the Differentials.
Personally I'd pre-empt at 140,000 miles and go ahead and get a fresh new Radiator.It is a beautiful car..our LR3 has 190K miles
Good advice👍
Algamdulillaah, u were sorted out on such a hot day. Down here in Cape Town, we can get those hot days as well. I will make sure to check mine and keep some spares. Jazakallah.
Wa iyyakum!
Fat pizza meets top gear. Love ya work.
😂
Cut a 50mm section of the old hose split it length way and slide it over the new hose where the cover rubs.
No more problems 😃
You Sir, are Genius!
Great tip mate, my wife has a Disco 4
Beautiful vehicles
That engine cover need to be grinded where it's touching the pipe so it's won't get cut again. That's what I've learnt and I'm doing it in daily life bases when we fixing land Rover discovery 4 and range Rover sport car's
First thing I changed on my RRS diésel, plus the Y pipe
👍
Would have been good to see in a bit more detail, where the hose is and where the rub is. Guess I'll be opening the hood this weekend!
It’s very straightforward. Top radiator hose passenger side rubs where the cover sits over it from the passenger side. It will look like there’s plenty of clearance but when motor torques and moves and rubs on the cover.
Pulled my engin cover off the same week I got the car after seeing it rub against the pipe. If I could ask where did you go with the horn or hooter when you installed the winch?
I made a simple T shape bracket and spread the horns to either side of the winch control box and extended the wire connecting the 2 horns.
Did you notice any noise difference after pulling the cover off?
@@outbackshadz3809 not from inside engin is maybe a little louder outside I might just cut it bigger and refit it.
What is the name of the discs ?, please write
Discovery 4
Just take the plastic cover off it serves no purpose and don’t need to carry the expensive spare parts and coolant👍
I think the main purpose other than aesthetics is to dampen the engine sound.
Yeah probably but on the under side of the cover the sponge over time breaks down and comes off and when you take the cover off the engine you have to take the oil filler cap off and run the risk of the sponge dropping in to the rocker top 👍
Just buy a Hilux !!
No need for parts then
Don’t get me started on hiluxes…🧐
Have had this on mine too, very common issue as you say. Cutting away the top cover where this top tube runs is what any good workshop should do. Also not bad to have the spare part being, LR095544 (top hose). I have also the LR073372 (coolant outlet connector) on hand as these can split too.
Thanks for the part numbers will definitely help someone in a pickle.
This is exactly what I was looking for
I had the same happened to me mate, was in Stockton when it happened and had to top up the coolant with water 3 times along the way home to Sydney. Actually posted this on the fb channel to warn others. The new Jose is done as it has a slight angle away from the engine cover. Best thing to solve this once and for all is to use a proper Dremel tool to trim the edge of the engine cover. Happy discoing mate, hope to see you on the road.
Man sounds like a mission glad you limped it back OK.
After this happened to me, I made the cut-out in the plastic case cover larger and put split vaccum hose around the edge of the new larger cat-out
Yep did the same thing straight away.
can you explain what you mean in a bit more depth please?
@@snigglesdgronch , the engine can rub on the top hose which then @Outback Shadz replaced (PN > LR095544). It is a good idea to cut back the engine cover where this hose runs by some millimeters to enlarge the opening. Cut away some plastic with a sharp knife or cutting tool. I have done this also. The hose itself is about $80-$110 online.
My son had the same thing happen in Tasmania. Told me to check mine , same cars 2015 Discos . Mine was rubbed half way through. Rang my niece to check theirs. There’s was rubbed half way through. Landrover in Perth said they had never heard of it happening. Yeah Sure ! Landrover agent in Geraldton in Western Australia says they modify the covers regardless of whether owners ask or not. Now taking my car 500kms to get serviced in Geraldton as part of holiday trip.
It’s a very common issue.
Thanks for heads up man. Got 125K mikes on mine. Gonna go check that hose and put something between the engine cover and it to prevent rubbing.
All good glad it was useful. Your best bet is to cut away a fair bit of the plastic cover that is to the right of the hose.

@@outbackshadz3809 done. This is the vid on my mods. Getting the Terrafirma swing arm tailgate in about 2 weeks. ua-cam.com/video/iQTJFxjnXZU/v-deo.html
It was a day to remember Shadz
Sure was!
😂😂😂😂you should not try and find parts at a dealership.
Something we are very vigilant about that top hose on the 3.0 and the top radiator connector on both 2.7 and 3.0 and the EGR cooler hose on the LH side of the engine.
You should bill your mechanic for not catching that hose rubbing
I have D4 as well, thanks for the tip I might order one now and keep it in the back
Awesome vehicles. Just make sure you cut away with a dremel the area surrounding the hose on the engine cover. It looks like there’s plenty of clearance but when the engine torques and moves about thats when it rubs
what is the name of the specific hose?
Guys, I need your advice plan to purchase. Discovery 4 2016 basically for off-road and remote places. Do you recommend it to purchase disco 4 or I go for another option. Thanks
Go the disco. If you go any other 4wd you need at least 5k-10k to get it off road ready with lift kits and lockers, winch etc. In a disco all you need is tyres and you’re done.
Thank you, due to this video I checked mine and sure thing the engine cover had cut a groove in the top pipe. I quickly ordered a replacement before disaster struck, and since then made a modification to the cover to eliminate the danger. Thanks again. I suggest every Discovery 3/4 owner should check this immediately.
Awesome Tyrone lucky you got to it early! Would greatly appreciate your support by subscribing to the channel mate if you haven’t already.💪👍
If I was you I would replace all cooling hoses to silicone ones , JLR are known to fail on this parts in Europe
Good idea...
Salam shadz Alhamdulilah good to see a brother enjoying our beautiful country. I’ve also got a disco 4 and it keeps going into restricted performance mode, any ideas? I also subbed to your channel may Allah help your channel become successful.
Wasalam brother yes its a beautiful country we have so blessed.
Restricted performance could be a variety if things best get a land rover tech to hook it up to reader and see.
If youve recently changed your fuel filter that could cause restricted performance and you will need to replace the housing as well.
Appreciate the support with the sub!💪👍
@@outbackshadz3809 yeh I took it to a lr specialist he said he fixed it but it came back up. Would you recommend anyone?
Take it back. In sydney I use Roving Mechanical and TR spares
I've always had love for these cars since they rolled out I think back in 2012. As much as I want to buy one, a lot of people tell me not to because of unreliability. Do you have any advice for me? To buy or not? Parts and service? Running costs? Thanks
I had a Landcruiser 200 series before this and spent over 13k repairs on injectors and a blown turbo. There is no such thing as an unbreakable 4wd these days and everything is electronic so just buy a post 2014 model as most of the issues were ironed out but as far as reliability so far thank God its been much more reliable than my Toyota Landcruiser. Every car has its issues relevant to it theres no such thing as the perfect car. But man does this Disco come close.....
@@outbackshadz3809 thanks for the advice! I'm locking in the disco now. Hope to one day become part of a disco family so we can all share experiences and adventures. cheers!
@@Luke-679 so happy for you mate! Just make sure it has service history and you should be right.
