New Bridgestone Tires
Interestingly enough, I too just recently switched. I went from the O.E. Pirelli Scorpions Zero to the Bridgestone Alenza Plus in the 255/55/20 size. Sure, I lost the Y speed rating -- down to V rating, but the added smoothness, quietness and much higher mileage wear rating (the Pirelli only... -

Finally!
First, let me congratulate and welcome you to our exclusive family. Second, I'm old enough to remember when Land Rovers didn't even offer navigation as an option - case in point, our '96 RR 4.0SE. Not until our '01 RR 4.6HSE did we have navi - which Land Rover creatively named JAMES, for... -

Squealing rear brakes
Mine is a 2012. And it used to only occur when starting off in reverse. Now, it happens either direction. -

What's with the evoques
Freelander - cheapened the brand Evoque - diluted the Range Rover pedigree I only hope that when LR says the new Defender will be "more accessible to others" they don't mean something like this upcoming Ford http://www.burlappcar.com/2014/05/ford-troller.html -

Squealing rear brakes
Our driveway is on a slight incline. So, I always make it a habit to engage the parking brake on all my vehicles when I park them. Less load on the trans, and all that... Lately, I am noticing that the rear brakes are squealing (after I release the parking brake) and slowing drive away. It... -

What's with the evoques
After having driven a handful of Evoques both as loaners and of friend's personal vehicles... the only thing Range Rover about them is the lettering adhered to the bodywork. As umbertob elluded, the exterior styling (while well executed) is now dated. I think the Evoque now comes across as the... -

Interior Wood Trim set part number for 2012 Luxury Limited Edition
I have the limited edition Lux. Those pics in the initial post are a bit deceptive. Yes, the look/color of the wood is nice - but, they are much more glossy than pictured and frankly still look a bit cheap. So yes, you will notice (though not as much as on the black lacquered pieces) the... -

2015 the new discovery
This is odd, considering this report (if true): http://www.egmcartech.com/2014/04/22/report-land-rover-to-build-off-road-biased-discovery-based-on-new-model/ -

3 car seats in an LR4?
kickingtires has this entire segment of "car seat check." The LR4 is just one of a handful that can fit 3 seats in the 2nd row and 2 in the 3rd. More info here: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2013/08/2013-land-rover-lr4-car-seat-check.html -

Accent LED Light Kit
I have these install as well. I am quite happy with them, and admire that they integrate so well into the lower bumper with the plastic surround etc - unlike some of the cheap Ebay crap. I too received the DRLs discount from my insurance company. -

Official 2014 Changes to LR4
Well, the LR4 name stays - and the V8 goes for US models... so says LeftlaneNews.com http://www.leftlanenews.com/disco-is-dead-land-rover-lr4-wont-get-new-name-for-2014.html -

Official 2014 Changes to LR4
one last comment on the 'updated' look... Why would Land Rover want to make the LR4 look like the Freelander/LR2? That old-girl should have been left to roam the pasture a LONG time ago. To mimic its tired looks on the LR4 begets a tired LR4 -

Official 2014 Changes to LR4
got this interesting tidbit from carscoops.com Really? They removed the door side indicators for some needless badging? Now that great character line/crease extending from the hood shutline becomes meaningless in design. The new headlights remind me of those LA-style facelifts -- just... -

Official 2014 Changes to LR4
So wait... They got rid of the two-bulb setup for the headlight, replacing the high beam with an LED turn signal indicator? I personally love the high beam output and light pattern in my 2012 LR4. Shame to see it go. And what did they replace the front door mounted turn signal indicator with...
