    Dealer repair for stop start, put 50 miles on my rig. Sound right?

    I'm sure it wasn't used to take the techs to lunch, pick up a pizza or two, run to the bank....you know "technical" road testing...your fuel is free after all.

    How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?

    My wife is on her fifth Odyssey (2015 touring elite)....she's "strayed" twice as our kids are now 12 and 16 but keeps coming back to it - I've gotten a leftover XC90 and CX9 mid-lease when she decided to go back. Friends, sports equipment, dogs, and a long weekend make it tough not to like it...

    Windshield Wiper Arm

    The splines should be fine, probably just need to clean them up before installing the new arm.

    Windshield Wiper Arm

    Have you tried tightening the bolt that connects the arm to the motor spline (lift off the hinged bottom cover)? The arm typically has a softer "pot" metal receiver that is grooved by the motor spline and it sounds like yours has stripped. You can also try cleaning the splines with a small...

    Black spots on wheels (oxidation?)

    I love the product, hate the smell! P21S is another good product that is ph neutral but not quiet as good as sonax full effect. $99 for 5 liters of either is a little tough to swallow so i use them both sparingly. Every 6 months the wheels come off and are clayed, sealed and waxed (fronts and...

    Black spots on wheels (oxidation?)

    The wheels are typically painted with an enamel paint or powder coated. they do have a clear coating that you are scrubbing into and destroying. the black spots are typically sintered metal shavings from the brakes (brake dust) and can be removed safely with a clay bar followed by a good wheel...

    Block Heater

    Yes it is....somewhere under the front is a plug....check behind the grill or behind the front bumper....it's tucked away somewhere.

    2007-08 Range Rover Sport

    I can't give you first hand experience on an 2007-08 sport, but my mother has an 06 with about 50k miles and she's done two transfer cases, rear air bags, front and rear diffs, along with a myriad of other issues. I always try and remind people that this was an $80k vehicle new, with lots of...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    Rybone, IMHO a good place to start should be tire rack where you can plug your vehicle in and see the sizes (stock, plus 0, plus 1, minus 1) that will fit without issues. If you're looking for a larger sidewall and narrower tire (better for snow) then you may need to drop rim size to 19" though...

    How can you tell if an LR4 has the Vision Assist Package?

    set up a TOPIX account and run the VIN and it will give you all the options (it takes a little decoding to understand them bu thtye should show up).

    Lr4 2013 vibrating speakers

    I chose to keep my thoughts to myself, but you're right on track! ummm the speakers produce sound by vibrating.... I'm guessing there is some loose trim somewhere and there's rattle or buzz..OP?

    LRNA comes thru finally but...

    Been traveling so I'm sorry I couldn't clarify...posting of VIN is so other board members will know its been a "problematic" truck and be wary if they see it on the used market. With regard to used pricing, just go search ebay, cars direct.com or auto trader and see what the asking prices are...

    LRNA comes thru finally but...

    Difficult decision. A dedicated iPod will solve your music problem, but not the charging problem, the other issues are non-solveable, but changes you'd have to live with if you could. Without knowing how bad the problems are or if they have been resolved it's tough to imagine keeping your...

    Wheel Nut Failure

    I just put new tires on one of my cars and prior to taking it in I took each wheel off and removed all the stick-on weights and detailed the wheels inside and out. I made sure to torque them to proper specs and when I went to the tire store I insisted they use a torque wrench for this very...

    Lr4 Mpg

    I know on my X5 I ran it to DTE -10 ONCE (I felt like Kramer in Seinfeld) and was sweating bullets hoping it wouldn't die on the side of the road. Most systems use an algorithm of vacuum pressure, fuel flow, RPM and speed so they're not measuring exact fuel burned (remember some is returned...

    2014 Oil Leak???

    Well, based on his pictures they filled the motor with it! Unfortunately as the expansion tank was full of the brown goo, it appears as though the oil got all the way into the cooling system. My fingers are crossed for you too!

    2014 Oil Leak???

    Agreed. Again, based on estimated time out of service, or just due to the fact that your brand new truck is being torn apart and put back together again, you might try and push LRNA for an assisted buyback (that way they don't have to "Lemon" it), the NEXT production slot for a 2015, and any...

    2014 Oil Leak???

    Make sure you know your states Lemon Laws as it's not just three strikes and your out, it's also days in the shop vs ownership in many states. Based on how long it's taking to get new orders filled I can only imagine how long it will take to tear down and re-build the motor. Document...

    Transmission Fault light at 2500 miles - MY14 LR4 Lux

    Any update on this????
  25. R

    Ordered HSE .... They Delivered Base

    So they'll let you use the 14 then swap the '14 for a '15 for $2,500 including all the options you were supposed to get??? I'd make sure its all spelled out VERY clearly on paper with any mileage, wear and tear, condition restrictions clearly spelled out. If salesmen change, GM whatever...
