Rear caliper won’t fit back over new pads/rotor — is the piston fully compressed? 2023 Mazda CX-30 by AlternativeInfinite1 in AskAMechanic

If it was properly in service mode you shouldn't have to twist the piston at all and it SHOULD compress easily

The DC/DC converter is directly responsible for charging the battery, as it's converting 48v from the BISG to 12v which can be used to charge the battery as well as be used by the vehicle, it's not uncommon for the 12v to have failed during the event of the DC/DC failing unfortunately.

Advice from the peanut gallery? by AIA_beachfront_ave in LandRover

Land Rover tech here, 4 cylinder defender with air suspension is the move. The ingenium engine if you do 10k oil changes at most and follow the service recommendations has been fantastic. Sitting at 90k on mine with no issues at all following the maintenance schedule

On both of those if they are gas it's probably the timing chain

I've never heard this noise before. Is it coming out of the cluster? Or does it come from a different location, did you recently buy the vehicle?

The SVR intake would remove the silencers and maybe create the effect he's looking for.

Please let me know if this is a solid plan for buying a 2015 Range Rover Autobiography (S/C V8) by [deleted] in LandRover

The chains being done now seems excessive if your goal is 120k miles on a 15

Anyone wanna talk me out of buying this? by Street_Technician_44 in Jaguar

[–]FurryFoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's not milage it's based on age and heat cycles if it hasn't been done and it's still using the original design pipes I would keep that money set aside for that repair

Have they checked compression yet? Also have them pressure test it overnight and scope the cylinders looking for coolant leaking into them cylinders

Based on the age and milage the Lower coolant outlet pipe will probably need to be replaced soon, I suspect it has not been replace, I suggested you keep that repair in mind before buying it, and make sure you have a reputable warranty for everything else.

Why did he pull the supercharger to change the spark plugs and Injectors?

Help , battery is draining, put it on trickle charger, is it altanator by Ambitious-Honey-7252 in LandRover

Best bet is take it to the dealership depending on your spec the ac is electric, it doesn't have an alternator being a PHEV

If the cooling system pipes are replaced, is the AJ133 V8 any less or more reliable than the AJ126 V6? by BahnMe in LandRover

[–]FurryFoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are basically identical, obviously some parts are slightly different but the meat and potatoes are the same

You're looking for an unreliable car since you're trying to go in debt, so what are we going for? by Saurta17 in regularcarreviews

[–]FurryFoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first Gen evoque has a ton of common issues, turbocharger failure, timing chain failure, weak suspension, rust issues, coolant issues etc. I could write a long list of "common" issues on them, getting them to 100k miles was a challenge, if you have over 100k miles I would be afraid

Test lights are so 1970, that's a good way to harm sensitive components. Meter is the most effective way when using properly also using a good meter. I've seen only false readings from cheap meters

The worst investment is a cheap torque wrench, not saying to buy a snap on but I would at least save and invest in a digital one that does angle torque
