    Off Road Do you Really go?

    The clearcoat on the LR4 is very thick; most scartches will buff out. I had my LR4 for 8 days and then went to a Rover event sponsored by the dealership. I had scratches down both sides and I was upset with myself. The event leader told me they would buff out easily and to bring the truck...

    OEM? Who makes it?

    I'm fairly sure the boxes are made by Thule. The bars I had were OEM, but they weren't marked as to who made them. Rob

    LR4 audio problems

    I always had a therory that it was tied to a low voltage situation with the truck. If you are still having the same issue, I would try to turn off as many of the accesories as you could; radio, HVAC, auto headlights, seat heaters, rear air, doors closed and then try to start the LR4. I have...

    Mood lighting

    Hi, I never had the door pannel off on mine, but I'm assuming the loom is in there. I had the mood lights in mine and thought they were a fabulous addtion to the interior. Just another added little touch to show how cool modern cars have become. Rob

    About to bite the bullet - but is it a rip?

    I think its fine you and your husband want to have the same experience driving a wonderful truck like the LR4. My wife and I both loved driving ours when we owned it. Are you sure you don't want all of the goodies that come on the HSE or HSE LUX? In my opinion, those are some of the best...

    Someone keyed my LR4

    I had a very deep scratch on my LR4 that happened at a dealer event offroad. I thought for sure it was well into the paint and even the primer/base. The guys said that the clear coat was so thick on the LRs that it would easily buff out. I didn't believe them; I have been around cars my whole...

    LR4 audio problems

    Mine did this about 3 times in my 1 year of ownership. Seemed to go away each time after a restart or two. Never diagnosed by the dealer as my dealer was in another town and by the time I would get ready to drive over to Omaha, the issue would resolve. It is exactally the same issue. Rob

    Reserve light, distance to empty....

    Do you keep putting fuel in after it clicks off the first time? I don't know how much fuel the filler tube would hold but it could be a gallon or more, The most I ever put in my LR4 was 18.1 gallons with 0 miles left to go. Normally I got way better mileage than you are getting though. I...

    Land Rover Newsletter

    The original: the photoshopped newsletter: I may not have pulled the right photo out of ndrenfros pictures as the perspectives are off a little, but it must have been the inspiration none the less for the newsletter photo. Rob

    Land Rover Newsletter

    Hi all, Did any of you get the email today from Land Rover with the picture of the black LR4 on the rock ledge in Moab? Doesn't this look familar to one of our own on the forums? I'm pretty sure I saw this picture in ndrenfos recent trip to Moab. The photo looks like it has been...

    Previous LR3 owners: Is the LR4 A/C as good as the LR3 A/C?

    Mine was awesome as well. I had 7 people in my LR4 in Moab with temps around 107 and it kept everyone cool even in full sun. I was very impressed and so were my passangers. I've had other makes that had marginal at best climate controls and always had to make excuses for them. Not the LR4...

    Update on my HSE Nav issue..

    I'm not sure this is the case any more. I had my 2010 LR4 HSE Lux for exctally 1 year when I traded it in on another make. I took the new car hit, but it was much closer to 15% I still miss my LR4, would love to have one again. Maybe the next version. Rob

    2 Quirks from recent road trip

    I didn't experience either of those issues with my LR4. My downshifts were always smooth and held a gear well up any hill I came across other than mountains. No issues with the wheel mounted controls either. Rob

    Kuat NV Bike Rack (hitch mount) on LR4

    I love the new Kuat rack. Seems well built and full of features. I really like the idea of having a quick repair stand built in. I have a Thule T2 rack with the extension for two additional bikes. I've had it for about 7 years now and I just can't find fault in it to justify buying a new...

    Roof Top Cargo boxes

    Those are some serious boxes! I have some smaller pelican and otter boxes for small items. I've always been impressed with them. I never thought about larger boxes for this type of purpose. The cheaper alternative I have used in the past is a dry bag from Seal Line. They are 100%...

    Questionnaire and my LR4 Gas Mileage Theory

    I know that gas is reformulated for the seasons in my area, but I always assumed it was due to the cold start ups and long periods it takes to get to operating temp. I'm not sure of any other differences. Of course when there is snow or ice on the ground, the rules change and I totaly...

    Questionnaire and my LR4 Gas Mileage Theory

    Hi all, On family vacations or trips between Lincoln and Omaha, I would normally get in the hi 19s and occasionally get over 20mpg doing the calculations at the pump. Even with a full compliment of passangers (7) and luggage strapped on teh back of the LR4 I would easily get 19mpg. This was...

    LR3 - LR4 Transfer

    Hi, Everything should transfer over from the LR3. The mats will, but they have different holes for the retainers now. They just aren't in the same place but the coverage will be the same. The roof rack bars are exactally the same, but the LR4 lacks the roof rails from the factory. The...

    Map Lights?

    I didn't replace them in my LR4, but I have in my other vehicles. I can tell you the lights in the LR4 were not very well designed. My wife likes to read and the light given off from the map light was so bright, it wouldn't let the auto hi-beams cycle normally. Also, the light was not...

    Does this sound right to you?

    This topic has been beat to death everywhich way. There doesn't seem to be any ryme or reason to the pad life. I took my LR4 in for the first service and they said my pads looked almost new after exactally 12,134 miles. That was with more than a few offorad trips in both Moab, the Black Hills...

    Cargo carrier

    Here are a couple of them: I couldn't notice any noise from the box or crossbars. The box has about 16 cubic feet of storage, which is more than enough for most of our trips. We do have a big trip planned to Moab this summer, so it may finally get filled. Rob

    Cargo carrier

    I always wanted to get one of those. Instead, I just got the box for on top from the dealer. It was a cheaper solution for me, but it sure would be nice to have the access at ground level rather than having to stand on the tire to load up the box on top. Thule makes nice stuff, but you pay...
