    Winshield Chip; Did it break a defrost wire?

    I'm doing the same. The technician is coming out today. I don't think I am even going to mention the heated glass thing. It's a rock chip about the size of a nickel near the base of the windshield on the driver's side. I just don't want it to develop into a long crack. The heated windshield...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Day 5: Tow Master. I saw there were some tow hooks located under the rear bumper in front of the spare tire. I watched a video on how to install a towing receiver on the LR4. The video showed how easy it was to remove the plastic faceplate to expose the receiver mounting mechanism ("you could...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Day 4: Top Drawer or Down and Dirty. Like I said, I took the LR4 to Mt. Baker Ski Resort yesterday and it got a lot of dirt on the body and undercarriage as a result. I was looking at it this morning and thinking, "You know, if I am going to use this as an off-road rig, a little dirt flung...

    Cars and Bids LR4 Purchase & More

    Wow, it is so weird to see the car I just bought (over and over again) on these posts. They must have pushed out a bunch of these black LR4s back in the day. They are sweet looking rides and I am having a lot of fun with mine, but it is remarkable just how identical they all look to me.

    New 2012 LR4 owner!

    Hi veronicak7, looks just like the 2011 I picked up a few days back. That interior door damage is weird looking. My interior is all grey rather than tan. I've got a little cracking through the fake wood plastic inset on that same door, but I don't really notice it unless I am looking right at...

    Freeway Speed Vibration or Rattle on Passenger Side near Windshield

    Recently bought a 2011 LR4 and noticed that when I get to speed on the freeway I start hearing a vibration or rattle near the windshield on the passenger side or maybe the dash near the windshield (it's hard to tell). It only happens when I get to over 55 or 60 mph. It's not all that loud just...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Day 3: Put some Sea Foam into the gas tank last night and filled it up with premium 76. I was told to expect it to blow smoke out of the tailpipe as the Sea Foam cleaned out the engine. There might have been a little color to the exhaust, but I didn't notice much. I was told the Sea Foam...

    Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY

    Hi Al Pizzica, yeah, I tried it this morning and got it close to closing, but it just wouldn't securely latch. I messed with it in all sorts of positions, but it either seemed to be binding up somewhere or when I did finally get it to close, the latch wouldn't stay latched into place and it...

    Land Rover LR4 H7 to H8 Battery Upgrade DIY

    My neighbor that likes to work on cars came over to look at my 2011 LR4 engine and listen to it running. He said that he thought he might have heard some lifter noise and then pointed to a plastic cover that was not securely closed. He said, "You want to close that fuse box cover or you could...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    Day 2: Today I learned that none of my 12v outlets are powered. I don't do Apple so the cord that came with the vehicle (and the adapter to make it compatible with modern iPods/Pads/Phones, etc.) was useless to me. I decided to get one of the USB chargers that plugs into a cigarette lighter...

    Oil level not showing

    Thanks umbertob, you are a wealth of info. I just bought a 2011 LR4 and I am as jumpy as a cat on a hot tin roof. The engine sounds a little rough when I first start up and then, after it warms up, it has a "ticking" sound. It's been a while since I owned a truck and maybe that is just the...

    2011 LR4 Honeymoon - Day 1

    So I bought the 2011 LR4 today. Had a bit of a scare when the "Service Required" message flashed briefly after startup. Saw on the threads here that's just a prompt to get your oil changed. I was waiting for something to blow up, given Land Rover's reliability issues, and you are always...

    Newcomer to LR4 from Virginia

    Update: I am meeting the seller of the LR4 at the bank this morning to complete the transaction. Earlier today, I got the bright idea to purchase a Carfax report on the VIN. Everything looked pretty normal (other than the fact that the odometer was showing in kilometers rather than miles...

    Newcomer to LR4 from Virginia

    Hi Leebar, I feel your pain. I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the same year, make, and model. I also test drove the same year turbocharged Range Rover with about the same miles. The LR4 had 102,000 miles and the Range Rover had 89,000. Both were private owners here in Bellingham, WA...

    2011 LR4 HSE Buyer

    Hi All, I'm close to pulling the trigger on a 2011 LR4 HSE. I figured I needed therapy (or a support group) so I found this place.
