    Bluetooth crackles

    We had a similar problem with my wife’s iPhone 6 when going to a new iOS (I think it was iOS 10). It was eventually fixed by Apple (and she hasn’t had that issue on her iPhone 7). This is on a 2012 LR4 which I believe is the same entertainment system as the 2013. If you’ve recently updated your...

    LR4 Favorite Year?

    I used the normal ones (autotrader, my dealer, LR US, etc), but for me, searching for that needle in a haystack, Carmax was perfect. Tons of pictures, I could search the entire US, an excellent alert system and they ship AWD/4x4s to Colorado for free. I know some people have had poor...

    LR4 Favorite Year?

    I agree. It was impossible for us to find the exact color combo we wanted in a 2012/3. Literally took over a year. One would pop up in my alerts, I'd call, and it would already be gone within 24hours. And I'm still tracking prices on them for fun - I'm pretty sure I could sell ours for what we...

    LR4 Favorite Year?

    I live in the Springs and have bought several cars from Red Noland. They do seem to get a fair amount of HDs in. And I know they will ship. Ask for Rob Franco - he's very knowledgeable on Land Rovers (sadly the exception anymore in sales people) and great to work with. -Rich

    Are these OEM or > Quality Brakes?

    How's the brake dust? I put Greenstuff on our FFRR about five years ago and was sorely disappointed. :-/. Hoping they have improved. -Rich

    Traffic Message Channel

    You are awesome. Thank you - I had searched, but somehow didn't see this. We'll try this (we never use FM). Thanks again. -Rich

    Traffic Message Channel

    Thanks. That's what I'm struggling with - I know we have stations that transmit it, and I've even seen other LR4s for sale here that it works on (plus my previous BMW used it and it worked well). So I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing - do I need a subscription? Do I need to tune into one...

    Traffic Message Channel

    Hi Folks, On our recently purchased 2012 LR4 HSE, the traffic message channel (TMC) icon within the navigation screen consistently has a red slash through it (which the manual states means it isn't receiving the TMC). I've done some research, and we definitely have local radio stations that...

    Will not start

    We had a similar issue after the car sat out in the bitter cold for an extended period (2012 LR4 sat outside for two days in 0 degree weather). Battery is less than a year old. Seemed to be the car not recognizing the brake pedal being pushed as it started right up after I tapped the pedal a...

    2013 LR4 New tire question

    Here's a quick compare from Consumer Reports. The LTX is their highest rated SUV all season. The Nokian rates well too. I threw in a tire I haven't heard a lot of discussion around but does offer a 255/55R19 size - Firestone Destination LE2. I rarely think of Firestone, but it was rated pretty...

    What do you do with your smart phone in the LR4?

    Do you have a case on your phone? If so, I use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IEWLIJC?psc=1 It's inexpensive, works fantastic (you can easily put the phone in portrait or landscape) and is hardly noticeable if you don't have your phone on it. It fits perfectly in the vent...

    Brake Light (Tail Lamp) Issue

    Good call - we do. I looked for the trailering fuse block (which the manual claims is behind the lefthand side rear access panel, but I was unable to find it). Fortunately our dealer (who is fantastic - I highly recomend Red Noland service to anyone in the Front Range) is able to get us in...

    Brake Light (Tail Lamp) Issue

    Hi Guys, Long time, no post. We recently noticed that our rear brake lights are out on our 2005 LR3. I bought new bulbs - didn't help. Checked all the fuses I could think might be a culprit (fuse slots 15, 22, etc) - they were all fine. Here is the weird thing - the center brake light...

    floorboards soaked, and I mean SOAKED

    Yep - that has been clipped. -Rich

    floorboards soaked, and I mean SOAKED

    Ah crap :-) Just when I was feeling good about myself! Are there three more, or four? -Rich

    floorboards soaked, and I mean SOAKED

    Sweet - thanks man. I had actually just figured that out - I was looking directly to the left when I should have been looking behind the rubber air inlet tube (in fact, I ended up pulling it out just like you did to get better access). I have some additional pics if it still isn't clear, but I...

    floorboards soaked, and I mean SOAKED

    Houm - we have the same deal. I just pulled ours and looked - we don't have the drain "hose" there to cut either. I even pulled the foam out - didn't see anything. Perhaps there was some sort of break in VIN numbers? Ours is an early '05 - how about you? -Rich

    FS: QTY 4 Goodyear Wrangler HP Tires 255/60R18

    Good idea! I could probably market them as a tire swing and sell them on eBay for more than I'm asking for them as tires :biggrin: -Rich

    Oil change - how often?

    John - thanks for the comments. I definitely see what you are saying, but that is the reason behind the filter system, as well as the oil service monitoring system. I'm not saying oil doesn't get dirty - it does. But it still maintains it lubricating properties as long as it hasn't broken...

    Oil change - how often?

    I agree with DrZ. On synthetic, you don't have the concerns about the oil breaking down like you do with dinosaur oil. In fact, my BMW has oil change intervals of 15k miles - there are posts online about service techs at BMW dealers keeping the oil from customers who request oil changes at...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ on LR3

    Thanks guys. We've still got quite a ways to go on the Grabber AT2s, but I'm leaning towards a set of Zeons for our next tires. -Rich

    Cooper Zeon LTZ on LR3

    Did a search, but didn't see anything specific on whether the Zeons in 285/60/R18 rub in access mode. I'm betting they do, but figured I would ask. The reason I ask is my wife uses access mode frequently because it is easier to put our baby in the car seat. She doesn't always remember to...

    Tires that can still run chains

    I've heard the Nokians are fantastic too. I think Roverman just picked up a set - perhaps he'll chime in on his experience. Thanks, Rich

    LR3 Suspension Lift

    Can they go more than the 1" or so that I've heard about? Is it then fixed at that height? Or does the air suspension levels (access, normal, off road) still apply? -Rich
