    Pricing

    Hi, I didn't play 1 dealer off another when I purchased my LR4. I only have 1 dealer within 200 miles anyway. Here is what I did do: I found another vehicle that would have fit the bill for our needs. I actually had two, GL550 and the GX460. I really wanted the LR4, but I knew what I...

    Thanks for all the great info. I will have to go take a look at the links to just see what they have to say. Rob

    Show off your Discover 4/LR4

    My dealer told me the color changes were due in part to the crisis in Japan. They must manufacture much of the paint over there. Rob

    Finally at the dealer, looking forward to see my driving lights...

    We are living vicariously thru the OP today. He is waiting at the dealership getting his driving lights installed. Then we get pictures for being patient. Rob

    Want to order an LR4

    Hi, It could be that I missed the mark. I have the HSE Lux and I sometimes forget where the HSE package stops and the Lux stuff starts. Back to the OP; the only way to know if you really will miss an option is to see it function or to already know that it wont be used. Sat radio came...

    Want to order an LR4

    Doesn't the keyless entry/start come with the HSE package? That was a deal breaker for me. I've had that type of systems on other vehicles and wouldn't buy another car with out it. The HSE has some really nice features, and I like all the goodies. Nicer leather, auto headlights that are...

    Lr4 Brakes

    Hey Count, I appreciate the insight. I know you and I have posted about it before. It is total sticker shock to me, and I am just not used to that type of interval. My Audis and Lexus vehicles have fared way better than this. I guess it really comes down to, I don't get $150 of enjoyment...

    Order new LR4, Wait or Compromise?

    4 days with a black car is amazing! my Buckingham Blue (almost black) lasts about 1 day before there are fingerprints near the door handles, dust on the hood or bird crap on the side windows. I wouldn't compromise, get the color, model and options you want from the start. I compromised...

    Lr4 Brakes

    I know we have covered brakes at least two times in other threads. I'm not real impressed that the brakes are lasting less than 20k miles. I do aggree with count, these brakes feel like they could stop a train! I'm willing to pay for high quality parts, but along with performance, I expect a...

    I have just under 12k at 11,875 miles. Still ok at this point. Rob

    Required Service message

    We are heading to Europe later this week for 14 days. I'm not going to make it in to get the oil changed before we leave, so it will have to be when we get back. It will still be before the 1 year aniversary of the purchase. Still, I plan on calling the dealership to check on the in-service...

    Required Service message

    Hi all, It's hard to believe that I have had my LR4 for almost a year now. Just yesterday, I started to get the "Service Required" message on the display. It goes out after just a few seconds, so unless you are looking straight ahead, you will miss it. I currently have 11,746 miles on...

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    I didn't see any thing that was rude about the responses above. I see that some are very direct, but I didn't see that any of them were derogatory in anyway. Opinionated? Yeah, I will say some are quicker to point thiers out. I've thought about leasing in the past, but haven't ever done...

    Tow hitch receiver Q

    your spare tire is hanging too low. My guess is that it's not up all the way. Rob

    Tow hitch receiver Q

    Glad to hear it is working now. Once you get it in there one time, I'm sure it will be easier the next and subsequent times. As Don pointed out, I don't think it is the tire that is getting in the way. Even without the matching wheel and real full size spare tire, the on my LR4 is still the...

    Tow hitch receiver Q

    Hi, I have nver had any difficulty at all. In fact, I can just get down on one knee and put the hitch on the LR4. There is never a need to lay on the ground to get it in there. You have taken the red plug out right? There are two pins on the hitch; one large one that is the one that...

    Lessons learned at the car wash

    That's a hard lesson to learn. I stopped going thru the car washes about 20 years ago. I would once in a while during the winter take our vehicles thru the wash when I just couldn't get out theremy self. I grew up washing cars in our family. I've gotten fairly proficient at it by now...

    2012 model year

    Good to know. I was not aware they already had one in house used in the brand. 6%... so if I get 18mpg on the hwy, the new tranny would maybe get 19mpg. Not that I'm complaining about a 6% increase in economy, but it seems to me a modern truck should be getting around 20mpg. At Land Rovers...

    2012 model year

    Wow, I just don't see them shaking up the status quo that much with the LR4 for 2012. I would think those changes would be more inline with a revamp of the truck to Discover5/LR5. Changing a tranny mid run is a big deal. I can see the electronic and cosmetic things getting updated, but I'm...

    LR4 on 18 inch rims

    Nathan, The truck looks great! Sure makes me hjealous that you get to mod your truck so soon after getting it. I'm glad the rods worked well for you. That extra height sure makes the stance correct for a vehicle with such offroad ability. I can't wat to see it perform in the dirt...

    Front windshield electric defroster distortion at night

    Last year I had a lot of issue with them. lately, I have not noticed them at all. I think last year, I was spending too much time at the computer and it really hurt my eyes. I would see the lines all the time like my eyes were trying to focus on them and not past them. I'm spending less time...

    Leaking roof

    I've not had any problems with my LR4 leaking. I wash it at least once a week so I would sure notice if it was leaking. Good luck getting it fixed. I would say it is something other than the drain hoses plugged at this point. Do you have a lot of debris from trees or other stuff fall on it...

    P*ss poor gas mileage

    Hi all, I normally get somewhere around 16mpg for most of my tanks. I live in the burbs, but most of my trips are short. The only time I see anything over that is when we are on a trip or I am running down to a local State park to MTB. From what I have found, the load in the truck means...
