Replaced crossover pipes and water pump
^ Thanks. In looking at the estimate, it appears most of that stuff is included, but I'll make sure they get everything. -

Great - appreciate all the replies! I will inquire about the supercharger oil / coupling as well. -

Replaced crossover pipes and water pump
Not wanting to start another thread so jumping on here - took my 2016.5 LR4 into an independent shop today to get an oil change. Around 67K miles on the odometer. I mentioned to them that the coolant light came on briefly last week but immediately went back off. Haven't noticed any coolant... -

2015 LR4 HSE LUX Battery Replacement
Yeah - I guess it was changed in later year models where AGM is the OEM spec (referenced in the manual and confirmed by the dealership). It does look like Interstate makes an H8 AGM battery - the MTX-49/H8. I'll see if CarMax is willing to swap it out with that one but I assume it's fine to keep... -

L319 vs. L462...
Don't hold back - tell us how you really feel! :laugh: Just picked up a loaner D5 this morning. I know looks are subjective and I can't say this is the prettiest looking SUV out there (which is a good thing, imho), but I just don't see the resemblance to the Explorer - other than some... -

2015 LR4 HSE LUX Battery Replacement
Good to know. Although any thoughts on whether a flooded (non-AGM) battery is ok? -

2015 LR4 HSE LUX Battery Replacement
Can you share the brand / specs of the battery you purchased? My 2016 that I recently purchased had an Autocraft Gold H7 (non-AGM) installed. I told CarMax that the manual states it should have an AGM battery and they replaced it with an Interstate MTP-49/H8 - which is larger but I believe not... -

L319 vs. L462...
I kind of dig the looks of the D5. Yeah, not as rugged / iconic as the LR4, but certainly looks more refined and solidly built compared to an Explorer, in its own quirky way. -

Disabling 2014 ECO Switch
Yeah - not to pile on but totally agree on the safety issue. Made me very hesitant on a few left turns - found myself waiting for larger gaps than I normally would (I was in the process of giving it a chance). I know the counter is to just lift off the brake a half second earlier, but that... -

Thoughts on 2016 LR4 HSE Lux (Landmark) purchase?
So have to give CarMax credit - they initially only wanted to repair the bumper but we insisted they replace it and they agreed. So that’s that. Just hope they do a good job with the paint. And then off to the LR dealer to fix a leaking sunroof drain. Ah - the joys of Land Rover ownership! -

Thoughts on 2016 LR4 HSE Lux (Landmark) purchase?
So a final update in case anybody cares - the dealer did confirm that the front radar sensor issue was caused by Carmax drilling the bumper in the wrong spot (and not using a proper license plate mounting bracket). So now with the license plate in the correct location - mounted lower - I now... -

Disabling 2014 ECO Switch
No idea. My SA seems to think that the warning light shouldn't stay on and he said there were some error codes with the start-stop that he needed to look into. I assume he'll determine that everything is working normal - so just wanted to confirm here it is indeed normal. Thanks -

Apple Car Play Kit
Yeah - my experience with Carplay is similar. It works ok if you don't try to do anything else with your phone. But if you pull up Waze or something (although I hear Waze will now be supported), the system bucks like crazy to the point where you have to deactivate it (fortunately it's quite easy... -

Disabling 2014 ECO Switch
Hah - was actually thinking about the electrical tape solution yesterday. I'm sure whatever else it wants to display there couldn't be that important, right? ;) -

Disabling 2014 ECO Switch
Any other ‘14 - ‘16 owners out there that can comment if that warning light stays on when you hit the eco button to disable start-stop? Car is back at the dealer today for some other warranty repair stuff and they seem determined to fix this.
