"Cameras Unavailable" when it rains?
Me Too. Cameras Unavailable Please Consult Your Dealer No LR Dealers in VT. I'm on my own. Anyone else with this issue, past of present, any troubleshooting/repair/replacement tips greatly appreciated. This is my first non-maintence related issue I've had with the car. I'm approaching 70k... -
LR4 Transmission oil change... mixed feelings.
Yes .... One of the nice things about VT living .... Many things cost a lot less than they do in the NY and DC area. -
LR4 Transmission oil change... mixed feelings.
I'm at 68,000 miles and for preventive maintenance purchased the differential/transmission fluid kit from AB for $170. An independent shop up here in VT charged me 1 hour labor ($60) for the job. For $100 he also sprayed an undercoating to protect from all the salt they used up here to keep the... -

Relocating to Stowe, Vermont. Service options ...
Land Rover doesn't have a dealership in VT, the closest one to Stowe is in NH about 200 miles away. I'm planing to keep my 13 LR4 until the day where maintenance becomes an issue. I'm at 57K miles now and besides a new battery and set of brakes/rotors, its needed nothing but oil changes, which I... -
Looking at the LR4 for a family hauler
Funny ... I did the same opposite direction. Found the exact 13 Lux I wanted from a Mercedes dealer in DC. Had been traded in and wasn't even on the lot yet. They wouldn't take a credit card but said they'd hold it one day. Drove to JFK, certified check in hand (no time to arrange financing)... -
My LR4 next to a new Discovery...
Yesterday, as I drove slowly by the local Land Rover dealer here in Southampton, NY and saw the latest offerings, most on artfully created rock piles, I only felt sadness as I know this 2013 LR4 will be my last Land Rover. As the line becomes more and more "aerodynamic" (why??) the traditional... -
Windshield
Update: Well, my windshield got dinged yet again and needed to be replaced. This time I asked my insurance company to have Safelite use an OEM replacement and I can report that the rain sensor issues I posted about have now been fixed. I'm not sure why the rain sensor would not work properly... -
Windshield
I can also add that from my experience go with the OEM windshield if $$ are not an issue -- I didn't realize that Safelite will not use OEM unless requested and I've found with their windshield the rain sensor is not accurate, which is an annoyance when you've come to rely on it. -
Nokian WRG2(3) Tread life
I know that getting information about tire selection and performance is sought after on this forum so I thought I'd post about my experience with the WRG2. Yesterday, after 35 months and 33K miles, I replaced the WRG2 with the newer WRG3. For those unfamiliar, Nokian has a DSI (Driving Safety... -
Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas
I put the Nokian WRG2 on my 2013 after I slid down a low grade wet hill a few weeks after owning the car. Its actually how I found this forum. I couldn't understand how the OEM tires could be so bad and began researching. These tires are excellent on slick roads which to me is as important as... -
Second Row Sun-shade.
I recently had the panoramic roof replaced (by Safelite) and now the 3rd row sun shade won't stay closed. I tinkered with it but no luck. The plastic clasp looks cheap so I'm guessing their "professional" installation causes it to become slightly misaligned. -
Ratchet tie down for roof
I tired. They do fit and slide inside the roof rack rails but can't be secured. I searched for an after market tie down that would be compatible but haven't found one. Land Rover is smart like that ...
