    Newbie Owner Roof Rail/Rack question!

    Long roof rack looks great...yakima wHisp bars with the surf attachment complete the set-up. Up goes your favorite from the quiver and your ready to go. I have all of the above and I've been stoked so far.

    2013???

    The red w/ black pack looks amazing. Really liked the arabica leather on this years lux limited, guess now that it'll be an option on the 13's it's not so limited anymore. Plus, didn't care for the chrome accents or tan carpets and arm rests....too hard to keep clean with the kids. Also, to...

    Possible fix for steering wheel vibration

    I just responded to a different post about this issue but wanted to see if anyone has had his issu resolved yet? The vibration/noise is very subtle and only occurs periodically. Before I take it in to the stealership, I wanted to see if anyone has had success fixing his issue. On a different...

    Steering Wheel Noise?

    Loving our LR4 for about 6 weeks now but I've noticed this vibration you all speak of. Just wondering if the TSB mentioned by Franky fixed everyone's issue?

    Console cooler for 2012 LR4

    Buy a small cooler at Walmart. Only had the LR4 for a short while but I don't really think I would miss it if it wasn't there.

    X5 to LR4

    When I started looking at the LR4, I had my heart set on getting the 20's. However, I personally like the stock 19' wheels on the Lux and as you mentioned, visually the 19s look really nice. I actually had the salesman put a Santorini Lux (which we ultimately chose), a Santorini Lux with the...

    X5 to LR4

    Keep in mind if you go with the lux limited it also has the 20's....which are more low profile then the 19's on Lux. I was also considering a Lux Limited but choose a Lux for the same reasons you stated. Also, really liked the brown leather but the contrast of beige and ultimately black rubber...

    question on current LR4 lights option

    I just picked up a Lux model a few days ago....love it. As far as the lights, the adaptive front headlights only come on either the Special Edition model or the upgraded vision package.

    2012 seat covers

    Does anyone know if there are any differences between the 2nd row seats in the 2012 compared to the 10 or 11 modle year? I ask because there are 2 different land rover item numbers for the waterproof seat covers....one that is specifically for the 10-11 and one for the 12 model year. My concern...

    Roof Advice for a newbie

    I just got the Whispbar . . .yakima product. Cam't comment myself as I'm picking up the LR4 Monday but I read a lot of great reviews. Also have the Thule Atlantis 1600 that we've used on our mdx and love it. I may upgrade to the 1800 or 2100 now that I have the LR4....would be nice to able...

    Aftermarket Warranty $$$$$$$

    I researched the Geico policy based on recommendations from people on this forum that have had good luck. As Geico is the largest car insurer in my state....CT, I think they're a reputable enough company. Like I said, I plan on going through the policy line by line to be sure, but based on...

    Aftermarket Warranty $$$$$$$

    With the exception of wear and tear (brakes, tires, oil changes) it covers everything . . . .including electrical, software, engine, transmissions, etc. Once I receive the policy, I'll be sure to go through it again to confirm but I specifically asked about all those things and received...

    Another roof rack question

    Thanks Mateored. I ended up choosing the black full length bars and Whispbar cross bars instead of the OEM ones. I read a bunch of great reviews on how quiet those cross bars are so decided to give them a shot. As far as the original question, I will look into the luggage rack option you...

    Aftermarket Warranty $$$$$$$

    Just confirmed with Geico. It has a $250 deductible and includes everything except wear and tear for 7 years or 100k...whatever comes first. The rate without it was $525.40 and with the mechanical breakdown the rate is 625.90. By my math this comes to $100.50 every 6 months or $201 per year...

    Aftermarket Warranty $$$$$$$

    Geico just quoted $205 per year for 7 yr / 100k mechanical breakdown. Thinking I'm going to keep my other cars with usaa and go with them for the LR4.....$1400 for a 7 year warranty is almost to good to be true.

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

    I looked up truecar on the non lux....it's 50,300. I would say you should be able to get it somewhere between 49,300 - 49,700. Actually, just tell him to take the 2k off his 51,900 and you're almost there! Also, forgot to mention, but cross shop any accessories you may get as well. Our local...

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

    Cherbear, What is the msrp of the lux you're looking at? I would go to truecar.com and put in your zip and it will give you the price others have paid. I just put a deposit on a black LR4 lux, the car msrp was 60,200 I believe and I got it for 53,900. Truecar said a fair price would be...

    Electric start?

    Has anyone ever added an electric start? My mom purchased one for my wife for our MDX, but we never got around to putting it on. Now that we just bought the LR4, we're gonna return it. I spoke to the dealer yesterday and they strongly suggested we don't add one to the truck. Would love to...

    Aftermarket Warranty $$$$$$$

    Just curious as to the difference between going through Ford or Geico as opposed to just buying the extended warranty through LR prior to the 5/50k running out? I'm about to pick up my new lr4 in a few days so the information would be helpful. Also, anyone have usaa car insurance and know if...

    Is Almond floor / door leather hard to keep clean?

    Thanks David. I actually put a deposit on the santorini black with Ebony leather today. I had the lux model right next to that special edition with the arabica and tan interior and although the arabica . ..hell, it's brown, I'm just gonna call it brown. ...but anyways, it's nice but it did...

    Another roof rack question

    I know this issue has been talked about a bunch however I didn't see anything with my specific question and didn't want to hijack someone else's post so here goes. 1. Besides the look, is there any difference between the long and short roof rails? Are there advantages to one over the other...

    Extended Service plan??

    Find it hard to believe that nobody has weighed in here....c'mon, there must be at least a few out there with experience regarding the differences in extended warranties. If you think it's a bad idea to even consider one let me know that too. I've never owned a land rover and want to be sure I...

    Is Almond floor / door leather hard to keep clean?

    Just wondering if those that have the lighter interior have any issues with keeping them clean or rather removing the scuff marks that will obviously be more visible then on the ebony interior. My wife really likes the arabica interior on the new lux limited but my concern is with two kids, 2...
