    LR Driving School

    I have done the Full Day course at the Landrover Experience Off Road Driving Academy in Montebello Quebec. It was very informative and the instruction was excellent. I would recommend it to anyone http://www.fairmont.com/montebello/destination-guide/montebello-land-rover-experience/

    New Tires

    Tires I replaced the Conties at about 80,000Km with Michelin Latitude Tour HP. Really like them much better than the Conties. I use the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5's for winter and they are a great winter tire, but a little loud on the highway. Current mileage is around 106000KM.

    Looking for Tires

    I am on my third winter with the Nokian Hakkapaliti 5 and I must say they are the bomb. The wear indicator says they are barely half way to needing replacement, so they are wearing quite well. The traction control system is redundant with these tires. I only get TCS lights and sounds if I try...

    Acceleration/braking problems anyone?

    I now have over 60,000KM on my LR4, and the brakes are still fine. My dealer told me there was a bulletin out for the brake issue, that my vehicle was not affected so no action was needed. Who knows?

    continental 4x4 contact review tirerack.com

    ycharlie I have the same tires and the opposite to report first snow here and the conti's were very poor the LR4 traction control was working over-time, so I never felt a "slide or loss of traction", but that was all LR4 and not anything the tires were doing now with the Nokian Hakka 5's, I...

    LR4 Desert Driving

    Wow sounds like you get to have the fun that most of us only dream of! I think you did the right thing, traction control in normal mode (the sand setting only helps to keep tires from spinning, but at the expense of total power available) and DCS off (same reason) airing down to 18 is...

    two winter tires for LR4!!

    what tire for some snow and some road? same as willw just got in the other thread nokian Nokian WR G2 SUV they get the snowflake rating (meaning they pass the test for snow tires) but they will still last in the less snowy/warmer months , where a true snow tire would go too soft and wear out...

    Short mud run then SQUEEAAAL

    I had a squeal after my time in the black goo last summer. It lasted for 50 kms or so. I think it was a pice of wood. When I changed to the snow tires I had a look and there was no scoring on the brake rotor surface, so I think it is more of an annoyance than a problem.

    Snow mode

    Weird....... I am going to go try it now. And yes, I am also in Ontario, and yes I too am keeping the Terrain Response dialed to Grass/Gravel/Snow.

    two winter tires for LR4!!

    My 2010LR4 came with Continentals, and yes I found them to be poor in snow. I also find most every "all season" tire I have ever had on ANY vehicle to perform poorly on snow.

    Will LR3 accessories fit an LR4?

    Yes it fits. I have this hitch on my 2010 LR4. With the newer hitch the 2x2 receiver is a little higher off the ground, but that is all......

    Rear middle seat stuck down anyone?

    My seats are up and down nearly every day. Never had one stuck. Did have the cable assist snap on the middle row, drivers side seat. Still usable, just a little harder to get it back up into place. Took weeks to get the part. And many hours to get the fix done. Dealer said that in order to...

    LR4 to use Ford Eco Boost V6

    I am loving the Jag power plant in my LR4. Strong and quiet, and my MPG is closer to 20 than it is to 12. If anything needs to change it is to the Diesel. Give me the Diesel!

    2011 LR4 Voice Controls

    Me too! Love this feature....use it ALL the time. It understands me about 95% of the time. BUT, it almost NEVER gets the command right when my wife is speaking to it. She is quite frustrated with it, but I love it! If it were as poor for my voice as it is for my wife, I would take it back...

    Aftermarket Rims - 20 / 22"ers

    OK WTF? To each his own I guess, but I do not understand this fascination with big-ass low pro tires and wheels on a 4X4. Would you put 35" mudders on a corvette? At least the silver lining here is that with you guys buying the 22" BLING I get to buy your stock wheels for a song and use them for...

    Acceleration/braking problems anyone?

    I have over 30,000 KM on my 2010 LR4, at the 25,000KM service they told me the brakes were fine. I drive a lot of highway, and I am not a "jam on the brakes at the last second" kind of driver. Your milage may vary, a the saying goes......

    Which one is the correct OEM hitch for LR3 2008

    I have a 2010 LR4 and it came with the KBN500080. The LR4 2011 in the showroom has a LRO19990 Why the difference? The LRO seems to have a shorter distance from where it attaches to the bumper to where the ball-arm inserts, but thats all I can see. A little smaller. Why the change? I then...

    Acceleration/braking problems anyone?

    On my initial test drive the LR4 did this to me. Engine revving when I pressed the brakes, and did not want to stop. I was pressing the Gas and the break at the same time. The peddles are close to each other and it is an easy mistake to make. Could this be what is happening to you?
