    Recommendations for non dealer Land Rover service in Seattle?

    Lamorna is now in North Seattle, near Northgate along Aurora Ave. I take my LR4 to Eurocar Service in the Ravenna area. They are a good indy shop.

    Showoff Your LR4

    LR4 and friend As a forum lurker I never got around to posting a pic of my 2011 Stornaway Grey LUX. Parked next to it is its housemate (a 2014 model) which I got several months ago. I apologize for the quickie iPhone HDR'ed butt shot--will have to take proper photos at some point.

    New battery: Sears?

    I have a 2011 LR4 and just changed my battery yesterday to Sears AGM after I got the low battery warning and then the truck wouldn't start. It took 20minutes at Sears; total out the door was $229. I had also asked the independent shop that I trust, and they quoted me 4 hours for the battery...

    Danrhiggins why would you need the deadpedal move? What about your rear camera?

    Discovery sport drive position compared to lr4

    You are right--forgot about the Range Rover, although I believe the previous iteration had the better seat position than the current version. The side view out of the previous Range Rover was also slightly better than the LR4. The front and side views (looking out from the driver's seat or rear...

    Discovery sport drive position compared to lr4

    If the LR4 seating position is your standard, then the Discovery Sport seating position is much worse (car-like), but still better than the horrible Evoque (entombed). The new XC90 is a lot better than the Discovery Sport but not the LR4. I have sat in each of these vehicles with the seat raised...

    LR4 vs. Volvo XC90

    Just test drove the XC90. It is an awesome family vehicle. I would trade the LR4 for it in a heartbeat were the Volvo's seating position higher like the LR4. Of the vehicles I would be interested in purchasing, only the LR4 and G-class have this high driving position (secondary to the...

    Water Pump Hose - is it covered under Factory Warranty?

    I had my water pump changed at an indie shop since the vehicle was out of warranty. According to the shop manager this is a problem with LR3s and LR4s.

    Wheel Color Opinions

    I have always seen the gloss black wheels as douchie, so I prefer matte black or any matte dark color wheel.

    jacking LR4 under control arms????

    My car got jacked under the control arms for tire change and alignment. I freaked out at first but it turned out to be no big deal.

    New Discovery Sport

    Discovery Sport It's definitely better looking than the LR2. I predict this vehicle will be very popular and sell like hotcakes....I will probably end up buying one--for my wife. She hates driving the LR4 since it feels "too big".

    New to LR...considering purchasing LR4

    For this alone--I would get the LR4 over and above anything else. The best third-row seating and space bar none, and they fold flat. I have test-seated nearly all three-row SUVs. One of my requirements when I purchased my LR4 was adult-seating capability (comfort) in the third row. I believe...

    Off-Road Discovery

    Jwest, what's up with the verbal attack? You need to chill--just go get your G-class already. I already said I don't like the RR sport, especially after having sat in it. The concept car simply looks bigger than I had imagined, but neither of us know the real size since we haven't been to the...

    2015 the new discovery

    I will probably get flamed, but those girls are usually more homely than I see alongside a debut/concept car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Off-Road Discovery

    I like it too but it seems like there are quite a few here who hate it. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it might, especially the full frontal shot, which makes it look quite tough. It also looks like a big vehicle and at least the windows are not as small as the new RRS (which I have...

    Yet Another Stupid Tire Thread

    I had 27k on my contis and they had a good amount of tread left--just really bad in snow to the point that I had to dispose of them regardless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yet Another Stupid Tire Thread

    I just installed Nokian WRG2s. They seem to ride stiffer than the contis. Got them though because my contis could not make it up a mild 20 degree grade with fresh snow on the ground. Stopping in snow with contis was a nightmare--all my stops have a little "slide" at the end. Can't wait to...

    I love my truck, but I hate my truck...what to do?

    bash535i, I appreciate and understand some of the problems you have had with the LR4, but what you wrote above is like the ultimate example of an oxymoron! :smile:

    Talk me Down !!!

    Truthfully, even the Sequoia looks more "buff" than the Landcruiser or the LX.:biggrin:

    Talk me Down !!!

    Speaking of sharks, the Infiniti QX70 (formerly FX35/45) has the hammerhead look covered. Mercedes GLs are nice but they are minivan-like in length and do not offer the same offroad capabilities.

    Talk me Down !!!

    IMHO, the new toyota SUVs look like A$$, blubbery like a whale, on par with the Infinity QX80....I mean sure, I admire Japanese reliability and all, but if I am not happy with the looks, then why spend the dough? The FJ80s (Toyota and Lexus) were much better looking... Also, what's with the...

    Picked up my Causeway Grey LR4...

    JMC08 you have sharp eyes--it looks so obvious now that you mention it--at first glance I thought it was a 6-series or something. Guess the side mirror and flank gave it away. Nice stable of rides LR4TQ!

    2014 Range Rover Sport - NY Autoshow Next Month

    2014 rrs Well the spy-photo RRS definitely has plenty of Evoque-ness, and with these photos you can make out the final design pretty well. The truck definitely hunkers down and looks menacing. Unfortunately, I sat in the Evoque and hated it because the beltline was so high. Part of the...

    Best dealer near Seattle?

    Any dealership that gets you a better price than what you can get in this area (including shipping of course)! Some people buy from a local dealer for the express reason of getting "better treatment" in their service department. I think that is wishful thinking, as they do not have any more...
