- I walk you through step by step on how to change the spark plugs on your Land Rover LR3/LR4 to give it a tune-up.
A tune up is a major maintenance that can be done at home with just a little time and patience. I upgraded from platinum spark plugs to Bosch iridium plugs. The entire job took me under 40 minutes.
A tune-up can restore lose horsepower, can improve mpg and make the vehicle ride smooth again. Give your Land Rover a tuneup at home and save yourself some money and time. Plus you will feel good about what you just accomplished.

NEVER use 'Locktite' on spark plug threads. A SMALL amount of anti-sieze lubricant on the spark plug threads is a good practice. Also clean the connecting surfaces in the coil-to-spark plug and coil pack connections with an aerosol contact cleaner and then LIGHTY coat those connections with a silicone dielectric grease during reassembly is a good practice. Great video!
I'm definitely going to buy that 06 Lr3 HSE now that i see that you have awesome repair videos. Thanks man! I'll let you know when I get her. Peace.
Your videos are awesome!! They show that the ownership of a Land Rover/Range Rover isn't that hard....
I appreciate the support and you are right. Thanks.
Really, enjoy all your LR3 videos. Thank you.
Thanks for your help Bro I changed my yesterday your video was easy to understand I save a lot of money thanks
That's great and thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching.
As always, awesome guidance. I found that using two 3" extenders worked great for me instead of using the 6" extender because of the limited room working on some of the plugs. It made the job a lot easier. You've saved me yet again, thanks bro, from the ATL.
Thanks for the tip and I appreciate your comment.
Kool video. Info like this is empowering for vehicle owners and has taken some of the teeth away from crooked mechanics and shifty dealerships and their service departments. Thanks!
Thanks for you're comment and I appreciate you watching.
Thank you for this video. It’s hilarious that shops will charge you $500 plus dollars to do the same. They truly act as if the spark plugs are made of gold and it takes 5 hours to replace them. Thank you, again. Going to do mine soon.
You're welcome and thanks for watching. Let me know how easy it was. Enjoy that Rover.
oxmanagain I will. I love it, though it hasnt been the best of experiences as of yet. The dealer I bought it from completely lied about its condition and I had to sue to get a partial refund to fix what was wrong. Though I still have to replace the air shocks. Have you done that yet? How easy or hard is it? Judging from what Ive seen, its only a few bolts and an airline, with the back being much easier to do than the front, due to the tight front fit. Other than a screw or two,vit also looks basic.
Wow that sucks but I'm glad you got some back. Yeah I changed the front struts and I have a video. You're right it was a few bolts and the air line.Here is the playlist on all the video I have on the Rover. Discover All things Land Rover: th-cam.com/video/5YuBnwQR-ro/w-d-xo.html
Did you go to mechanic school to work on Land Rovers? This is awesome. Glad I landed on your helpful videos.
First off thanks for the support and I appreciate the compliment. No, I don't have any professional training. Just over the years of not having enough money for me to go to the dealership and reading books plus trial and error. I upload my videos so that people can see that with some basic tools you can accomplish a lot. Again, thanks.
Its the same thing for any vehicle, Some are easyer than others
there is hardly any information on the 4.4 Jaguar engine...I'm looking for any info I can and glad I found your channel
For my 2006 Range Rover HSE all plugs need regapped they come as 0.040" and mine need to be 0.053 which I didn't figure out right away. At 0.040" my mpg was 13.5 now its 14.6 at 0.053" huge difference. It will at least apply to the 4.4l JAG motor..which is what I have..I went with Champion double iridium..great video
Nice improvement on your gas mileage.
oxmanagain I watched a video from Atlantic British and found that my gap was wrong. Is your motor also the 4.4l jag?
Yes
oxmanagain next time you do plugs gap at 0.053 you will see increase in mph instantly..just be careful gapping..lol
Thanks, will do. I appreciate the info.
Thanks man! This was a great help. You just saved me $200 bucks.
You're welcome and I appreciate you for taking the time to let me know how much you saved. thanks for watching.
Great video and thanks for sharing those insights into doing these tune-ups!
I suspect the layout of the Jaguar engines on the Range Rovers make it a little easier to get to the spark plugs, but similar processes overall.
Good job, and Rover On! 👊😎
Thanks for helpful video. Useful to see the still significant access issues. Very important not to cross thread.
You're welcome and thanks for leaving a comment plus, I appreciate the support.
Why pay $200 for installation when you could do it yourself. Nice video man.
Yet again another great demonstration from oxman, thank you.
Landybandy1 Thank you and you're welcome. I appreciate the continued support.
Hey, thanks so much for the video, I'm going to replace the spark plugs in my truck tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks, for the support and your welcome.
Fantastic video as per usual off yourself oxman
Would have loved to see the first start up & maybe feedback on how she drives. Was it any different with the double iridium plugs?
Great video as all your others. Debating on doing my shock and strut air bags on all for corners on my 2008 rrs
@Adolf Hitler I’m no mechanic. But I would start with checking air filter Maybe clean mass air flow sensor ?
@oxmanagain This is the same for my 2008 RRS HSE 4.4 . Thank you @oxmanagain . God bless you.
Excellent.
Anether good video. AS Paul Ward says, with theses aluminum heads you must only turn in the plug by hand at first to be certain the threads are meshing correctly. When unplugging the wires you squeeze the tab on the plug that comes off to release it. Not sure if this was clear in the video. The tab can be seen in the video when you re-connect the wire. I may buy an LR3 in the future so interested in this series. Currently have 98 and a 2000 Range Rover. Owned 2 Discos in the past.
Thank you for adding that tip, that is what I love about TH-cam we all get to help each other. Thanks for watching I appreciate the support. If you ever buy an LR3 let me know.
Happy to try and contribute. I always read the comments in all the TH-cam videos I watch as there is often good information added by others.
Great point, I do the same, that's why I try to reply to all the comments.
Very helpful! I got to start to acquire more tools!
Awesome content. Thank you again for this one.
Great presentation 👏 👌 👍 thank you!!!!
Great video partner, awesome info and very clearly demonstrated. I'm up late trying learn how to best maintain and wrench on my truck.. at least for the simple things.
It's a 4.4 Jag in an 06 L322 Range and I have 1 question: what tool kit do you use or recommend? My biggest fear is starting a job and not having the right tools to finish.
Thanks in advance! You've earned a sub from me. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for your comment and if you ever have any questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to get you an answer. Thanks for watching.
Great video, after watching it I feel confident doing this job. I'll be changing my plugs when they come in on my 2006 RRS. Do you have a video on oxygen sensors?
Very Informative!! Great video!
P.S.: Great looking LR3!
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment and tip.
I’ve heard the double iridium spark plugs boosts your hp an extra 50 ponies. Equal to a 50 shot NOS. Lol!
I got a boost, but 50 horses idk about all that. That would have been great.
Love your videos bro. Very informative. I have a range Rover 2009 with rpm fluctuations when ac is on. Changed out the battery and alternator and it still does it but less. What should I do next ?
First off thanks for the support. The next thing I would do is clean the throttle body. If you haven't seen the video here is the link to the video. I hope it fixes your problem, let me know the outcome. th-cam.com/video/s9hQVo9M7b0/w-d-xo.html
In love with your chanel, tks for this tips! nice video! congrats from Brasil
I'm in love with your comments. Appreciate you for watching and thanks for leaving a comment. What year Land Rover do you own?
@@oxmanagain
Hello Friend, thanks for the response and attention, this interaction makes many friends.
I currently own a Freelander 2 HSE i6 and I'm buying a Discovery 3 or LR3 4.0 Petrol Version S
That's nice. When you get the new Land Rover are you going to do more off-roading?
@@oxmanagain
Hello friend, my main use will be to transport my dogs inside the city, I need a car with lots of space, in the future, I will adapt it for off-road, I want to travel from Brazil (São Paulo) to Ushuaia
Lucky dogs and how far is the trip.
Another great video!!
Hi, thanks for quick answer for last question!
I am trying to copy everything of video which you did on your lr3.
For my 2008 lr3 se v6 4.0 gasoline model.
Which spark plugs you recommend specifically.
I want to upgrade mine like yours.
I am going to order right away.
I just ordered MAF cleaner and throttle body cleaner though. Lol
And please do another Video I can do.
Thanks!!!
I appreciate the support thing for watching. I left a link below the video 2 the spark plugs that I used. But if you want to buy yours right now just get iridium plugs. It's funny you say that I'm editing a video right now where I changed my fan clutch.
love your videos
I really appreciate your time and support, I'm glad you enjoy them. Thanks and you're welcome.
Would you recommend this suv? They want to sell me a 2007 with 150000 miles for 5,000. I'm just scared of all the maintenance it might need :/
First let me thank you for answering a previous question about the suspension, and I have another question. You mentioned that you didn't changed the gap, so how did it run compared to the platinum? I'm on the fence between the two of them. Your opinion is appreciated.
I've been a fan of platinum for years and now iridium just burns hotter. I didn't notice a significant improvement but clearly it didn't get worse. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your support.
Why did you not upgrade your ignition coil also for better performance in sure way better than stock brands accel or msd
Thanks for the tip I might do that in the future.
Great video! Have you used any aftermarket coils on your ride? Ebay has a good selection but they might be cheap. I work for automotive and my cost is higher than ebay prices. Did this improve gas mileage?
Just a little but the pickup was better.
Make more LR3 videos please
Very good video. Tnx bro.
Hany Ghassan You're welcome and thanks again for watching.
Hi Bro, I have a Land Rover Lr3 2007, I m having an issue with, when the Land Rover drive for continuous 2 to 3 hours, it stop accelerating, then I need to stop off the car and it picks accelerating again, Please advice if you know the issue? thanks.
And how reliable is this land rover?
Dobrý den Oxman, opět skvělé video, dávám like :-), jen škoda, že mám vůz LR D3 TDV6 2,7 diesel
Dobrý kamarád, děkuji, na dieselu používají žhavicí svíčky správně?
Ano kamaráde, na dieselu se používají žhavící svíčky označení 1354289 -GEN origo LR a stačí mít aspoň v zimě při mínus 20 stupňů 3 funkční žhavící svíčky.Jinak výměna je složitější :-(
Nikdy jsem vlastnil motorovou naftu dříve. To o nich moc nevím.
LR D3 TDV6 2.7l Diese , je celkově komplikovaný a je hlavně určený pro Evropu. LR 4,4l BENZÍN je supr :- ) jak zvukově ,tak i kroutícím momentem a je tam možnosť montáže LPG, ale není to moc dobré řešení.
Jeden z těchto dní půjdu dolů na místní autoservis a dělám nějakou práci na dieselovém motoru, takže pokud se mi někdy dostanu, budu mít nějaké zkušenosti.
I probably should change my LR3 plugs I have 97k on it. Did the LR3 run any smoother with the new plugs? Mine seems fine.
Bobby j it was more of a maintenance service because like yours the LR was already running fine anyway. The LR is already so smooth how much smoother can it get you know what I mean.
I had the rubber part in the socket come off and got stuck on the plug in the chamber
Yeah, that has happened to me before.
Did you use a double iridium 9562?
Yes, I did.
Coil pack
Have you ever done your transmission fluid?
No,not yet.
Does the Land Rover LR3 have spark plug wires?
No. It has coils.
I did see that video. Should I clean the MAF sensor too or not?
I think the throttle body is what will give you the most improvement but if have time then do both. Let me know the results.
I am also looking for the LR3. how about this track? i hear a lot of problem foe this car? do you know which year is the best year for the LR3? and when i purchase which part i need focus to check? thanks
I would say 2009 might be the best year for the LR3. You want to make sure the air suspension is in working order. The suspension system can be very costly to have it fixed. Just like with any vehicle it has some flaws, if you can do the work yourself then you will save a lot of money.
Hi I have a Land Rover lr3 2006 and i have a question for if u can help me; the switch from the sun roof is not working and I don’t know what to do? Thanks
I read this on a forum.
so i'm at my inlaws in ny and my sunroof won't open. check the fuse, all is fine. i tell my wife "here we go with the electrical gremlims". we'll i decide to grab the owners manual to be safe. sure enough it says "sunroof may come uncalibrated and render it inoperable. hold button forward for 20 seconds to reset". 20 seconds later i'm back in business. just an fyi in the event anyone has a similar issue.

Hi, have a question for you, my LR3 is at 77k at what point you should start thinking about timing chains and water pump? Love your videos.
I appreciate the support and I will give you a service sheet that says when you should start to change certain items. But to give you an idea I have a 170000 and I still have the original water pump and timing chain.
@@oxmanagain Great thank you for a quick response i appreciate it.
I use this website a lot. It will help you on general maintenance.
@@oxmanagain What website are you referring to? I just bought a '05 LR3 and I'm trying to learn all that I can so that I can do my own maintenance. Found your videos and have been binge watching!!! Thanks for uploading them.
@@fliponthefarm you said you just bought a 2005. How many miles do you have on it? And if you ever have any specific questions feel free to ask.
Love the channel. Quick question. I have a 2005 lr3 and replacing the spark plugs. Taking the coil boots out and 1 on the driver side is not coming out all the way. It stops at about an inch out. What do you think the problem is? Thanks
Is the plug stuck or broke? Is the tool hitting something?
@@oxmanagain it's not broken. It's the whole coil boot. Comes out about an inch and then feels like something is hitting a ring down in there and stopping it from coming out.
Did you disconnect the harness to the coil boot?
@@oxmanagain yes
Maybe the plug is suck to the boot. I know you probably already tried but did wiggling and pulling help?
How much sparks plug this engine use great man?
I have 8 cylinders which is a V8 so I had to use 8 spark plugs.
What do you use to restore the black trim on your lr3?
I think they look blacker than what they really are in my video. I'm actually thinking about buying the Rustoleum restore kit and making a video on the results.
Do you ever have any issues with your parking sensor system? Mine hasn't wanted to work in about a week.
I haven't what seems to be your problem?
braxton burns I've had issues with mine so I just pulled the fuse.
It seems to just randomly decide that the parking sensors don't want to work. Sometimes it's in perfectly fine whether to. And thanks Jarad.! Ill give that a try.
braxton burns yup no problem..
what was your total time in replacing all 8 spark plugs ?
It took me about 30-50 minutes.
Hey what kind of spark plugs should I buy for LR3 2.7 tdv6 (and how many :)
Or they maybe they dont even exist because there are another horror part in diesel - the glow plugs - am I right?
I believe you are right.
@@oxmanagain Yes Sir
How is the fuel consumption on the land rover discovery3
I average 17-18mpg
I get 14 mph
@@Johnnytsunami19 I know this comment is from a while back. Question: How do you manage 17-18 mpg. The best I get is 15
😂 just realized I commented 3 years ago.
Don’t time fly.
4:52 NEVER EVER EVER EVERRRR USE THREADLOCK ON SPARK PLUGS.
