Anyone moved from an LR4 to a Velar?
Very interesting, thanks. So the one you drove was an R-dynamic model? If I understand the lineup correctly the much more common S model doesn't have dynamic mode. -

Anyone moved from an LR4 to a Velar?
Particularly curious about how a Velar with air suspension drives compared to the LR4. I've been very happy with my LR4, but like the looks of the Velar. The dealer actually gave me a Velar as a loaner the last time I had my LR4 serviced, but it was a 4 cylinder without air suspension, and I... -

Enabling digital speedo question
If you change the display units to kilometers using the standard settings menus on the vehicle, it will display the digital speedo and show you what it looks like. In kilometers of course. :) When you change it back to mph it will disappear. -

Enabling digital speedo question
I bought the IID tool and did it. I don't think the dealer's tools have the ability to do so, oddly enough. -

How to display MPH on dash in 2012 LR4 LUX
I have Sat radio on my 2012 but I'll check and see if I'm getting HD radio as well. Thanks! -

How to display MPH on dash in 2012 LR4 LUX
So is HD Radio turned off by default on all LR4's, or was that an oversight at the factory or something? I don't think I've ever really noticed whether I'm getting HD or not, but I have an IID tool so I can turn it on if need be. -

LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended
Mine is a '12 so I can't say for sure, but I don't think they changed the fog light assembly. Not sure on the earlier models but I'm pretty sure the HID's on the '14+ are bi-xenons. -

LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended
It's not difficult, and is discussed somewhere back toward the first part of this thread. Once you pop off the trim rings, which are easy to pry off, just pay attention to where the screws holding the assembly go when you remove them (there are 3 screws but 4 holes IIRC, so you can put them... -

Cool, let us know how they work out. -

LR4 Halogen Bulb Upgrading - Highly Recommended
The Philips LED's linked above say they're plug and play replacements for H11 bulbs, but how does that work given the little harness/ballast that is shown in the pic of them? Has anyone actually used these on an LR4? -

Rear brake pads wearing faster than fronts?
Interesting comments, thanks. Whether it's "intelligent" or just set up that way, the fact that it seems to have more rear bias than one would expect makes me wonder if it might not stop faster with more front bias. I am not impressed with how well it stops in a panic or near full-on braking... -

Rear brake pads wearing faster than fronts?
Hadn't thought of that possibility. Well, whatever the reason it sounds like it's not unusual on the LR4. I was mainly just wondering if the tech who measured them made a mistake, and it sounds like the answer is probably not. -

Rear brake pads wearing faster than fronts?
Thanks for the reply. I understand the weight wearing brakes faster. I was just under the impression that with the weight transferring forward as you brake physics dictated that more of the weight is borne by the front axle and therefore front brakes, which has been my experience with other... -

Rear brake pads wearing faster than fronts?
Anyone had this happen? My '12 has 26k miles, and at its recent service they said the brake pads are at 8mm front (fine) and 5mm rear (will need replacement in the near future). It seems odd to me that the rears would wear out before the fronts, unless the brake bias on these things is set up...
