    Replace audio head

    So the nav system crapped out on my 2013 LR4. While I saw a few threads suggesting that it simply needed to be reset, the dealership told me that there were a number of faults and that the audio head would need to be replaced for a cost of $4,000. I spoke to a shop that specializes in Land...

    Anyone moved from an LR4 to a Velar?

    I’m going to stick with an LR4 until I can’t find one. The Velar, like every SUV on the market has that slopped roof that reduces cargo space. I bought my LR4 specifically for the huge gapping mouth of a back hatch. Also because it seats 7. I’ve got 3 kids. How many does the Velar seat?

    Engine revs high upon start up

    This is caused by 2 things: Your LR announcing to the world that it’s awake and ready to much on little smart cars. Burning through extra gas in case your fuel bill has been too low lately.

    Worth upgrade LR3 to LR4?

    I’ve got 3 young kids and a young fiancé so I needed an LR4 for the third row of seating. Before I bought this first LR I test drive a bunch of other 3rd row seaters. The LR was quicker, smoother, nimbler than other SUVs, plus the off-road capability. I’d have gotten a 3 or D if it weren’t for...

    Went to use hitch...surprise!

    I was surprised to find that my LR4, unlike every other truck on the market, had a vertical tow adaptor that cost $400+ for an official LR adaptor or $75 for a generic one installed BEFORE anything as simple as a bike rack could be attached.

    Every time my LR4 is inspected, the bill...

    This price was from and independent shop in Massachusetts that specializes In Land Rovers and Jags. The control arms were rubbing, a wheel bearing was shot and I had them flush and replace the fluids, do oil change. 2 weeks later and my engine light is on. Off to find and OBD scanner.

    Pondering an LR4 - Question

    On the topic of what breaks first, mine was bought used as a 2015. 3 days later it was in the shop to replace all my leaking transmission lines and replace all of my brake pads and replace the windshield side trim pegs. I’ve got a rusted and rattling heat deflector over my tail pipe that I’ll...

    Pondering an LR4 - Question

    If you’re looking for good gas mileage, get a Prius (my last vehicle) and enjoy 48 mpg. I bought an LR4 for the same reason as you: too many kids, won’t be caught dead in a minivan, Suburbans are ugly. The gas is tough but it is what it is. Btw, my kids fight over sitting in the third row, so...

    LR has had my LR4 for 3 MONTHS!

    Was that the place in Sudbury or the one in Norwood? I haven’t been impressed with either. I know you had to hit the dealership because of your warranty but if you need a great LR repair shop talk to the folks at J Whites Auto: jwhitesutomotive.com. They’re in Framingham and specialize in Rovers...
