    Disabling 2014 ECO Switch

    If they just give the people what they want, it wouldn't be an issue at all. Now how hard is that? And as for my opinion on the system, its stupid and awful :argh:

    Terrain Response - "General Program"

    Snow mode does not change gear ratios. It changes shift points both up and down and starts in second gear from a stop. I would not recommend engaging low range on slippery hills. That will work against you. The increased torque on an already slippery surface is not advisable. Leave it in high...

    2015 LR4 - Questions, advice, thoughts.

    My 2015 will be here in about a month so says my dealer. Ordered it a few months ago. Got the HSE because that's what my current one is and I have no complaints. I don't see the point of the lux personally because it doesn't give me anything I'm willing to pay extra for or even need. I feel like...

    What is this vent?

    Nope, it is the sensor for the auto air conditioning/heat. Measures the interior temp.

    throttle body on 5 litre LR4?

    The direct injection is part of the fuel system. The throttle body is part of the induction system. They work together of course but very different jobs. Cleaning it is definitely a scam to make easy money. And it takes a ton of miles or really, really awful conditions before one even needs to...

    2014 LR4 on Landrover.com

    I think what is really going on here is that the 5.0's times where well underrated to begin with and the times for this 3.0 are more real world. I would be willing to bet that the 5.0 in real life will be significantly faster. Far more so than it would appear on paper. Perhaps LR knew this all...

    2014 LR4 on Landrover.com

    Multiple people here have stated that there will be no weight loss for the new lr4. Everything I have read so far contradicts that. It will be getting a new aluminium frame which is both stiffer and lighter. The RR is at least 300 pounds lighter due to this. I don't see why the lr4 won't lose...

    lr4 low access mode

    No problem. Also, when you hit the button it starts a one minute timer. If you don't slow down to below at least 12mph within that minute it cancels your request to lower. If a door opens while it's still lowering it will stop but close the door within 40sec and it will continue.

    lr4 low access mode

    Just hit the button. You don't have to wait until you are stopped. It will start lowering when speed drops below 12mph and finish when it drops below 5mph. Yeh, it's not as convenient as auto lowering but it works. Blame it on the lawyers, they wouldn't allow it any other way.

    Who would buy a supercharged V8 option?

    Honestly, as in for real not just saying "yeh that would be cool". I mean, if Land Rover really offered the 510hp V8 that come in the RR as an option in the LR4, how many of you guys would get it? Lets assume the upgrade price is around 10k. So, would you check that box? I'll go first...

    My first 400 miles in my New 2012 HSE

    I do believe that the sensitivity of the auto mode can be adjusted on the stalk.

    Updated GPS $248.95!!

    Sorry to say it but the factory gps sucks. There are no ways around it. I travel pretty extensively and can say very conclusively that a smartphone with google maps is far better than what the truck can do. $60k or not, that's just the hard truth. The 2012 doesn't actually work better it just...

    iPad Rear Seat Mounting Bracket

    A quick search brought this up http://www.amazon.com/iPADKET-Headrest-Mount-Holder-Apple/dp/B004FDF0YO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1332347624&sr=8-8 cheap enough to give it a try and the reviews are mostly positive.

    Surprised by poor snow performance

    I too believe it has the most to do with the stock tires. They do great in slush and pretty bad on ice and in really deep snow. I've never gotten stuck nor feared doing so but they are less than confidence inspiring in corners. Hopefully by the time these need to be replaced, there will be a few...

    leather cleaner

    DO NOT use detergent or regular soap! Neither of those things have any place being used on a car either inside or out. They both will dry out your leather. For stain repellent, I've yet to find anything better than Aerospace 303 protectant. ALso use it on the dash and other plastic surfaces and...

    Premium Fuel for LR4

    As that article points out, the words premium and regular are simply marketing tools used to get people to spend more money. The quality between the two is the same. Putting "premium" fuel in the tank isn't like giving your dog a treat. The difference is octane (87,91,93 etc.) Octane is...

    Little feelings about the LR4.....

    Mine is a 2012. Voice recognition is really good. I rarely repeat myself. I base my opinion on the road trips I've been on with it already and it has repeatedly given me wrong info. The problem is two fold. One, the only way to update it is with a CD and roads are always changing or being added...

    Little feelings about the LR4.....

    Yep. It won't work. Gotta switch it back to US English for that feature. The factory gps sucks anyway. I use my phone. :hmpf:

    Aintree Green

    I'd get that Range Rover brown interior in a heartbeat! Maybe it'll be available when I buy my next one. I hope for that, and no change in Fiji white.
