Preventive maintenance advice- 2016 LR4
My 2016 LR4 has 46,000 miles on it. Bought new. I'm 83 and this might well be my last vehicle if it'll make it another few years. Is it worth changing the crossover pipes prophylactically? Water pump? What advice do you guys have for having stuff done before it happens to me on the road? Also... -

Is HD package so useful in snow?
2016 LR4 here in Vermont! Bought new without the HD package. It handles snow like a champ. I go through deep drifts when my road isn't plowed without any problem. I have gotten stuck twice and the HD wouldn't have helped. Both times the truck bottomed out on a ridge of ice and packed snow and no... -

Just hit 49,000 miles - extended warranty or roll dice?

Excessive rolling when turning or at speed
I just had my summer tires (on wheels) put on my 2016 LR4 (33000 miles) and the local indie replaced rear pads and rotors. They were below state inspection limits. Now, however, the car rolls like crazy at highway speeds and when I turn the wheel, for example turning onto the road and... -

Another Defender hint?
I see the pillar but it doesn’t look nearly as wide as the metal square. -

Another Defender hint?
Yeah, but the point was that the sales guy at the Bedford NH JLR said one can order glass instead of the obstruction. That’s a biggie. I would never buy a vehicle with that obstruction built in for no reason. -

Another Defender hint?
Took my LR4 to deaker’s yesterday to catch some electrical gremlins and was talking with one of the sales guys. Apparently (according to him) that “blind spot panel” can be replaced by optional glass. Didn’t know that. He also allowed that discovery sales have been so poor that there’s talk of...
