    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
