Jump start short + puff of smoke = charging sys. fault
2013 LR4. Jumped dead batt today and the pos clamp hit the (assinine-oriented) battery retainer plate which rewarded me with a bunch of smoke. Assumed it was wire sheathing melting, but after removing battery I can't see any signs of short/overheating of wires anywhere the harness is visible, or... -

2015 LR4 grille color
Funny, I picked the car up (again) yesterday after they were realigning it and addressing a few other fugazzi front end issues. As the manager was taking me around the car demonstrating the fixes I was just beginning to speak about the letters and noticed, as he pointed to it and explained they... -

2015 LR4 grille color
I can :mad:. There's a barely discernible difference going from low to high beams. What a ***t show. -

2015 LR4 grille color
I called LRNA and another dealer. Both corroborated, though the dealer said he had no 13s through his shop that required any front end repair or replace. -

2015 LR4 grille color
I picked the car up Fri evening in the dark, with a 12mo old baby 90 min off her schedule, so missed that until the next morning when I went to thoroughly inspect. That was the first thing I noticed - besides the black grille - and a few other surprises (considering the car underwent "quality... -

2015 LR4 grille color
Hadn't noticed that, too focused on all the other issues, but right is right and this incident (ahem, due to the wifey :motz: not me) just sent $8400 to the shop. So I expect it to be repaired to the exact previous spec and will notify them to fix that as well in the morning. Hell I brought it... -

2015 LR4 grille color
Spoke with another dealer this morning as well as LRNA cust service (latter was not much help), and the other dealer checked using my VIN and confirmed that MY 2014 replacements are only this black; however, he said they could easily match the color and deal w.it that way. Meanwhile I returned... -

2015 LR4 grille color
The shop (local dealer, not an independent) said mine was the 4th '13 they've had to swap out the entire front end. I'll take/post a few pics tomorrow. -

2015 LR4 grille color
Correct. Apparently LR either doesn't have or won't furnish the front end for 13 LR4s, and they swap out the entire front end - cosmetic, at least. So I have the '15 headlamps, fogs, bumper, and grille. I think ,however, they missed something and stuck me w.the black base grille. Which actually... -

2015 LR4 grille color
My wife binned my 2013 HSE and I just got her back after 5(!) weeks :hmpf: They had to swap out the entire front end for the 2015 parts as apparently 2013 are NLA. Grille was silver, but now is black, which I believe is the base LR4 trim color, i.e. HSE and Lux are silver. Does anyone know... -

Center console latch remove?
Thanks for the replies guys. Mine does not have a channel, or at least the little bit of a conflict-free route does not guide or hold the cable so w.opening and closing it falls right into the path of the latch or guide prongs and gets pinched or nicked. I need to pop the silver plunger-type... -

Center console latch remove?
Anyone had the silver latch assembly out of the console storage cover? My iphone cable keeps getting nicked and is a real PITA to manage so it doesn't get crushed and nicked. I removed the torx screws but that didn't appear the right approach. -

Changing key fob
Don't know for sure and I haven't played with it, but I would imagine could be done. I would just go carefully, check youtube for related vids. Worst case about $85 + $60-75 programming fee gets you new one.- theman
