DIY Oil Changes Impossible & 2nd Battery
Well, I haven't figured that part out myself. I have been riding around with the damn service engine light on. Coming up on 50k miles, so I will be bringing it in shortly for a checkup before the warranty goes up and I am sure I will be charged some ridiculous amount for them to hit a button... -

Nav can't change destination when driving?
Anyone find a solution to this? I take a lot of highway to/from work and meeting, which usually crawls just enough where it won't let me change the address. This is a problem if I need to change addresses in mid-drive. I'd be willing to sign away all liability to Land Rover if they would enable it. -

Avoid the 2010 LR4!
The suction device was about $75 from amazon and hold all of the oil. The oil filter is on the top in one of those plastic canisters. If you take the plastic engine cover off (facing the windshield) it is left of center, close to the grill in grey plastic. I used a three pronged adjustable oil... -

Avoid the 2010 LR4!
I agree about Pierre and the sales staff (Brad was who I was going through). The guy at the auto show may have been from the Audi / Porsche dealership. Total d-bag too. I bought a car that was on display at the show, which is not a problem. I went to the show to see it and people were all in it... -

Avoid the 2010 LR4!
I changed the oil myself with the mityvac fluid extractor 7201 ($75 on amazon). I was worried about finding something to attach to the tube that Land Rover has in the engine to extract the oil, but the main tube that comes with the mityvac fit right over it. I put the mityvac tube about 2-3"... -

Air Suspension Issue?
Does the same here. I am with you guys that it is just to relieve pressure. I know I'd rather have than than the pressure on the system all of the time because I know the things are built well and all, but less stress means less likely to break IMO. -

Avoid the 2010 LR4!
I understand the OP's gripes and I would be ****** too,but it sounds like he got a lemon. The dealership seems to be taking all steps possible. I agree with others on here about contacting corporate (in NJ if you are in the US) and talk to them. I sent them a letter back in February when I... -

Insurance Premiums/Cost of Ownership
I have a 2007 BMW 335i on lease that I paid off two months ago that is still under my insurance. I live in NJ and that was about $180 a month (I had a speeding ticket about 2 years ago for 16 over the limit, but nothing beyond that). My premium for the LR4 is about $215 a month for... -

DIY Oil Changes Impossible & 2nd Battery
schafari, thanks. I read about the bastardization that Land Rover decided to go with. I just went out to the car (just got back from work) and took some pics of what I believe to be the oil filter. The last car I had was a BMW and I never changed the oil since it was always under warranty... -

New to Land Rover and Love My LR4
I bought my LR4 last month and have already put on 4,000 miles and I absolutely love it. I came from a 2007 BMW 335i and that was a more fun vehicle on the road for speed. However, it cannot compare to the comfort and luxury of the LR4, but the thing I really cannot wait for it to take it off-road.- marcoVU

DIY Oil Changes Impossible & 2nd Battery
Just bought an LR4 in early February and love it. I love it so much, I have driven it about 4,000 miles so far. I am planning on doing an oil change this upcoming weekend and have a question as to where the oil filter actually is. I looked in the engine bay, but couldn't find it. I lifted the...
