Premium Fuel for LR4
I would guarantee the "Premium Fuel Recommended" sticker wasn't put there by an engineer, chief. A lawyer/accountant/marketing person worried about being sued for false advertising yes, but the engineers who built the engine with electronic control systems to adjust for different fuel mixes? -

Premium Fuel for LR4
Trekker, interested to see if you have crunched the numbers to confirm you actually get better mileage/economy using premium? Everything I've read from consumer reports/Car Talk/Edmunds etc, and my limited experiments show absolutely no noticeable improvement in mileage from using premium, and... -

Nav Update
Anyone else get the email about the Nav System update available now. For just $250! So does anyone know what you get for your $250? Is it simply updated maps, or is there updates to the "operating system" also that makes it less sucky? I think I would pay the $$ to get rid of the locked... -

Lr4 Brakes
So haven't been here in quite a while, so very late to this brakes party. Am I the only one who is still on original brake pads and rotors, coming up to 30k miles? Just replaced tires at 28k, brakes still have quite a bit of wear left in them at that time. -

Navigation works in Canada?
Fairly late to the party on this one. Yes, the Nav works in Canada, but.... At least in Nova Scotia, the maps are quite out of date, there is no text to speech (ie. no street names, just the old "turn left now") and the POI function isn't too clever. But it does work fine for street... -

Considering an LR4
For me, the mysterious force guided me to the LR the minute I test drove it! I think if you test drive it, and you don't love it, its not the vehicle for you. You are paying this much, you should LOVE the vehicle, otherwise you will find reasons to suffer buyers remorse (like weeping into your... -

Almost ready to buy an LR4
Bruce, I have both the short roof rails and the cargo barrier/dog cage. Roof rails - love them, recommend dealer install (have heard stories of cracking the roof glass during install, better do that on the dealers dime). LR cross bars complete the look, and Thule ski carriers etc are too easy... -

2010 LR4 Fuel Sensor
as Umbertob points out, this is a known issue. Mine was replaced some time back, under warranty. Has not been a problem since. -

LR4 HSE LUX or Tahoe LTZ???????
I am using the computer calculation lately, the first few months I would calculate by hand and found that the computer was generally within .5mpg of what my math showed. Since July/August I haven't "recalibrated", it is more of interest to me as a relative, than absolute measure (ie. how does... -

LR4 HSE LUX or Tahoe LTZ???????
CrewCabRob, Thanks for pointing out that it is bots who make those repeat comments. I was starting to think I was going mad. I too am loving the warmer weather. Gas mileage was pretty tough this winter, plus I do less distance driving, more around town during the cold months. Yesterdays 2... -

Just Got an '11 LR4, Who Can Answer The Most Questions??
Way late to this post, but wanted to throw in my two cents. Have only had good interactions with my LR dealership (Scarborough Maine btw) and while it is entirely due to the fact that they are good guys who seem to care, I also make every effort to be polite, friendly and show recognition when... -

CNET review of the LR4
I stopped watching before the end, she is just too annoying. I guess if a tech site reviews a car, they are primarily concerned with tech, and will focus the review on that. The problem is, that only a very small (cough morons cough) market segment buys a car based on how intuitively your cell... -

Front Pass. airbag light question
Was the passenger seatbelt alarm going off (on the off chance she wasn't wearing her belt)? I have found I can't leave packed laptop case or bagged groceries in the pass seat without the seatbelt alarm sounding and the airbag off light going dark. Try having her sit there, without the belt... -

Nav. question about maps and downloads
I drove to NS and back last Oct in the LR4, and the nav handled the trip just fine. In fact, for about the only time I can remember, I was grateful for the added steps of choosing from Route 1/2/3, as I was able to specify driving around through Truro and not taking the St John ferry... -

Premium Fuel for LR4
I doubt this would be an engine warranty issue, and more like a truth in advertising issue. Someone else will know the exact advertised hp number, but LR advertises the LR4 as having 5.0L, approx 380hp V8. My understanding is that in these higher compression ratio engines, that max hp# is only... -

iPod Functionality on the Dash
The iPhone4 also works fully functionally as an iPod in the LR4, and as a phone too. You can control all iPod functions through the touch screen, though it is far from a native integration of the iPod menu (ie. it is not pretty). It gets the job done, transitions smoothly to phone calls via... -

Dash vibration poll--who also has this?
Confirmation that it may be cold weather related - hooray, not going insane. Also hooray, its going to start getting warmer here in New England, apparently. That also means I will forget about it, and won't be able to get the dealership to look at it again until next December.... -

Dash vibration poll--who also has this?
I saw someone else mention cold weather, so my follow up question for this is - Do you have the dash vibration and if so - does it only occur when the temp is cold or very cold? It seems to be related to cold weather for me, and if it is for others - that might help us figure out how to... -

Daytime running lights
I would be shocked if they did not have the ability to activate them in the 2011's too. Mmmmmm, cookies. -

Daytime running lights
Also have the 2010 HSE and the dealer was able to program the daytime running lights. They looked for the LED's, the "cutouts" for which are in the headlight unit, just no LEDs there, and would have turned those on too if they could have. Again, I would advocate for the missus baking a plate... -

Speakers/stereo issue
The Dash vibration! You hear it too! I am not imagining things. Please do get your delearship to investigate, and if they find the cause, please let me know. It is driving me nuts, they looked for it when I was in getting an inspection sticker, but couldn't find the cause. -

I've got gas issues
yes, I went through this issue a few months back. The problem is a faulty tank sensor, it is covered under warranty (of course) and your delearship should be familiar with the issue. -

latest LR4 comparison
"Mystifying high mass" is also a result of the US tax code that allows vehicles with a 6000lb+ curb weight to qualify for an accelerated (bonus) depreciation schedule as a small business expense. LR sells a lot of these things because they hit the threshold. -

Safari snorkel for lr4 FYI
The ongoing confusion in this thread is due to the fact that the LR4 "Diesel" (known as Discovery 4 in the rest of the world) is not available in the US, and the snorkel is available only for the diesel engine, and most of those using this forum are here in the US (this is labelled the LR4 Forum... -

About to make the jump to LR4 from Toyota 4Runner
@CountLaszlo - yeah, I think every car maker offers wildly overpriced service, and at least the LR guys seem to give a shit. Honestly, when I saw the bill from Toyota last week, for 1 oxygen sensor, I just about threw up. The tech who did the work is named "Rooster" and according to his rates...
