    Preventive maintenance advice- 2016 LR4

    My 2016 LR4 has 46,000 miles on it. Bought new. I'm 83 and this might well be my last vehicle if it'll make it another few years. Is it worth changing the crossover pipes prophylactically? Water pump? What advice do you guys have for having stuff done before it happens to me on the road? Also...

    Excessive rolling when turning or at speed

    I just had my summer tires (on wheels) put on my 2016 LR4 (33000 miles) and the local indie replaced rear pads and rotors. They were below state inspection limits. Now, however, the car rolls like crazy at highway speeds and when I turn the wheel, for example turning onto the road and...

    Dying Electrical?

    On a longish trip (250 mi) steering wheel heat quit and the light on the heat switch went out. Then I got a message that the econo mode was not available and the orange light went on indicating it was non operational. The switch had no effect. I have a voltmeter plugged into the cigarette...

    Height change is sick

    2016 LR4, 29,000 mi I was just driving through a few inches of snow and raised the height to “off-road” The rear lurched at the end of travel. I then lowered it to normal and it lurched again. I got to my driveway and cycled height a few times and each time there was a lurch. I again tried to...

    Jump-starting

    When jump-starting, according to manual one shouldn’t but the negative clamp from the donor directly on the negative battery terminal but use the vehicle grounding post. Is there a real reason for this? Why would it make electrical difference? My manual shows battery on driver’s side and...

    Hill descent control

    this AM I engaged the HDC as usual going down a long steep road. It made a growling sound and felt jerky. Never did this before. Should I worry?

    Maintenance charger for battery

    my local indie said he installs a lot of leads that go from the battery to a plug in the grill that is capped off. When in garage one can uncap it and plug in a maintenance charger. Is this a worthwhile thing to do? It sounds as tho it might be a good 5hibg for a battery in cold climates. Frank

    Since new, the clock on my 2016 always seemed to lose time, maybe a minute every few months. Then began slowing down faster a few months ago. About a minute every two weeks or so. Rate of slowing increasing, now it’s a minute every 3 days. The last time I reset it it switched to zulu time by...

    Front brakes seizing (again)

    This has become a chronic problem with my 2016 that has about 22k miles.. The front calipers sometimes don’t release and I begin to smell them thru the vents. The rotors get scorching hot. The first time it happened was a few thousand mikes ago and my local indie took them apart, lubed and...

    Brake problems again. Sticking calipers

    Drove my 2016 LR4 through some slushy New England roads and the front calipers have seized AGAIN. This happened last winter and I began smelling them. My indy found that road crud and salt/sand gut in there and the calipers weren’t releasing. A month ago I had my winter tires put on and they...

    Front tow hook. Removing plastic cover?

    I have never before taken off the plastic shield that covers the front tow hook. I needed to this afternoon (don’t ask) and after giving each of the hold-downs a quarter turn as per manual it wouldn’t come off.

    my first LR4. I had first service done by nearest dealer. At about 7.5k miles front rotors warped and they fixed under warranty and did an oil change. I recently got a reminder from the dealer who sold me the car that I was due for service. Don't dealers enter this service data into my cars...
