    Brake problem help requested

    I'm running a 2011. Mine is so bad that the protective paint on the hub portion of the rotor peeled off early. I'll replace it after I figure out the problem.

    Brake problem help requested

    I shook the wheels and got no wobble, and I got the vibrations even without braking at highway speeds. I've tried parking without setting the EPB everytime and have not gotten the vibration again, fingers are crossed that it's just some anomaly that won't happen again.

    GapIID BT compatibility

    That's a valid thought, maybe I could ru nout and just grab a cheap tablet and put a tough case around it. I was hoping to be able to do that but can't seem to figure out how to access the menus through the car only without using BT.

    GapIID BT compatibility

    Hey everyone, about two months ago I bought a new GAPIID tool from Lucky8 and have always had a compatibility problem with my phone. I'm running a Sony z5 compact with the latest android version on it. When I originally contacted them, they said there was nothing they could do for me and to...

    OT, Range Rover dropped his subwoofer...

    Good eye, looks like a pistol version of an mp5 or something. Good taste, bad judgement

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to do more digging and hopefully the job won't kill me. Gotta love those AB videos, they cover just about everything

    Brake problem help requested

    I think we're fighting two different problems, mine does it whether or not I brake. Yours kind of sounds like what happened in my old BMW. It started out with a light shudder under braking and eventually got really bad through normal driving. That one turned out to be the front control arm...

    Brake problem help requested

    curious, does that have a smell problem as well? I have tried giving the wheels a shake while jacked up, and have tried changing lanes whenever it vibrates to see if the vibration stops. Maybe I'm lucky and it's just really early on the wear

    OT, Range Rover dropped his subwoofer...

    "But I seent other sports cars do it, and this is a Range Rover Sport" That's going to be one awkward conversation with the insurance company.

    Brake problem help requested

    Hey so I have what I'm pretty sure is a brake problem. Every now and then when I drive higher speeds on the highway, I'll get a vibration that starts small then gets pretty crazy. When I stop and check it, you definitely smell burning brakes, so I went ahead and replaced the following: -Rotors...

    Need an ID on random cord

    Ah thanks, so strange that they'd do that. Thanks umbertob, I'll either drop a dummy plug on it or more realistically tape over it. Since I bought my car second hand, I didn't know if some bubbification happened here.

    Need an ID on random cord

    Hey all, I was checking my fuses and saw this random cord unplugged. Anyone have any idea what it's supposed to hook up to?

    Driving LEDs

    Wait are you talking about during the daytime as DRLs? I've read (so take that with a grain of salt) that apparently the only way to get them to work as DRLs is to buy their DRL options directly from them.

    Bluetooth Audio Streaming For LR4

    I'm curious as well. I was pondering using the USB port and one of those USB bluetooth devices you can buy on amazon, but I don't know whether that will work or not. I'm kinda miffed at the whole "your phone can make calls and calls only" deal, that combined with what seems to be no other...

    DIY: Key Fob Body swap

    Yeah you've got to be careful where you're prying. On a positive note, I think I found the purpose of that strangely shaped cubicle in our vehicles

    75,000 service interval

    I haven't done enough digging in the area to find a good Land Rover Indie shop. I haven't had good luck with the BMW indie shop so I've always DIYd (they were charging more than dealer rates) Thanks for the tip, I'll crawl under my vic and see what I can see. Yeah, a lot of the inspections I...

    75,000 service interval

    Local dealer wants just about $850 to do this service. I'm looking through the service passport and from the looks of it, most of the labor is inspecting little things on the car, engine oil change and front/rear diff fluid change. My plans are to run factory oil for the diff and Mobil one...

    DIY: Second Row seat handle replacement

    So this may seem like common sense to you guys, but I'm hoping that this may help someone else out there. Recently I picked up my '11 LR4, and some things I noticed were broken but didn't mind as they were what I thought would be cheap to fix. In this case, the part was $15 and it took me more...

    DIY: Key Fob Body swap

    When I picked up my car, the key looked like it was microwaved, and being abused by the BMW key system (where even the battery on my E46 M3 key is molded in) I wastickled pink that not only was the battery easily replaced with a common battery, but the shell was easily replaced as well. What's...
