    2011 LR4 for sale soon...feeler thread

    Ill be selling my 2011 LR4 in the next few months and thought I'd throw it out here advance in case someone was interested. Without a doubt the best LR I've ever owned and possibly the best vehicle period, no garage queen and a lot of miles but she's been good to us - specs: 175,000 miles on...

    Went to use hitch...surprise!

    After three years of ownership I take the tow hitch cover off as I need to put the bike rack on her as I'm dropping my kid off at college and I need to take her bike. Well wasn't I surprised when I removed the cover to find a big loop looking thing. That's it, no further discussion required

    Dealer Price - Alternator and Battery

Within minutes center console goes dead, game over. Anyway there was a LR dealer 5 minutes away, although I didn't want to have them work on it they...

    Will our LR4's be desirable in 10 - 15 years, or are they just another modern day LR?

    So this is a day after Christmas, philosophical rant but one I've been thinking about lately and I'd like your input: Question: Do the LR4's have a chance to become that vehicle that people seek 10-15 years from now? Could it become highly sought after like a 80's Jeep Wagoneer or a 70's Ford...

    Quote for AC compressor R&R

    Just got a quote to replace the compressor, receiver & dryer - $2,600 total, $1,100 parts and $1,500 labor. The parts costs seems reasonable but damn that labor though! This is a guy I generally trust but...I asked him about the labor he said the grille and skid plates need to come off, lot of...

    Anyone's alarm randomly going off?

    Just recently I had the alarm go off on the car outside in front of my house - it never goes off but figured, maybe a motorcycle or something rumbled by. Few days later the alarm goes off while sitting inside the garage with the door closed...anyone else experience this? Thanks

    Sweet smell, coolant leak, ugh...

    So I noticed when the wife pulls in the garage with the 2011 that if I walked by the front of the truck a few minutes later that I would smell coolant, like a sweet, burning off smell. Today I noticed a small pool of coolant on the garage floor towards the middle of the car just in front of the...

    New guy checking in...

    Glad to find this LR4 forum where people are actually working on and finding solutions to issues and concerns.
