    Valve cover gasket replacement ($3,200)

    2011 LR4 HSE, with 195K miles, but in great shape overall. We absolutely love the truck. We have leaking around the valve cover gaskets. When we turn off the engine, white smoke can be seen (& smelled), as the oil drips on the hot exhaust, based on my research? Got a quote from a local indy...

    150K Mile Service

    Taking my LR4 in for routine service at 150,000 miles. Great vehicle so far! (bought it CPO at 50K miles) My indy shop is recommending these items, but I don't see them listed in my LR user's manual. Would you recommend any of these, or should I pass? Fuel injection service ($129) Power...

    "TP" message on radio display - Presets wonky

    I looked through the owner's manual to no avail. Has anybody seen this little amber "TP" above the "FM" on the radio display? (see attached pic). This comes on randomly, and the preset labels go away. No way to change any presets in 'TP' mode. 2011 LR4 HSE Thanks! v

    Language settings/clock reset itself overnight

    Went to Sears to get a new battery, and they noticed that one of my terminals (the one closest to the firewall) was loose, and won't tighten it. Apparently it's a "smart terminal" that only the dealer can replace? Does that sound right? Will take another look tomorrow. v

    Language settings/clock reset itself overnight

    Has anybody gone to start their LR4 to find the settings/clock reset overnight? I suspect a battery issue, but the vehicle cranked and started okay (a bit slow, as it's cold in PA). I'm going to replace the battery today just in case (it's a 4-yr old DieHard AGM), but want to make sure I'm not...

    Front wheel hop/shudder

    A couple of days ago, I was getting ready to back in to a parking spot: put it in reverse, cranked the wheel all the way to the right, and gave it gas. As soon as the truck started moving back, the right front wheel felt like it was hopping/shuddering for a second or two. Is this just your...

    LR4 wiper noise

    Based on everybody's feedback, I've ordered a set of Rain-X Latitudes. Will report back ... Thank you! v

    LR4 wiper noise

    I've searched the forum, but didn't find anything (just a related thread on the LR3 board, with no resolution). The driver side windshield wiper on my 2011 LR4 makes this "snap/crack" sound when it finishes the wipe pattern, just as it reverses direction. At first, I thought the blade was...

    Mistery [non]start issue ...

    OP here ... The issue happened once, and has not reocurred, now that the temperatures have warmed up a bit in the North East (maybe it *was* cold-related). Appreciate everybody's help, and will try all these suggestions if it happens again. vindio

    Mistery [non]start issue ...

    So, my wife claims that she went to start her 2011 LR4, but when she hit the button, nothing happened (4 times). Dash lights came on okay, and no faults were indicated. She called AAA, and when they got there, the guy gets in the car, and the car starts right up (with his magic touch). I...

    Left wiper not sweeping all the way

    In case this happens to anybody else, the problem ended up being a broken wiper linkeage. Repair was covered by LR dealer under CPO. Cheers, v

    Left wiper not sweeping all the way

    Okay, here's a strange one: I just noticed that my left wiper blade (driver side) isn't sweeping all the way to the left A-pillar (stops about 6 inches shy of the pillar). I could adjust the nut that holds the wiper arm to the motor, but then the wiper will then sit up too high when resting at...

    Second hand LR4

    Great find Umberto ... the doc states that "serviceable bushings" are NOT covered. The LR4 control arm bushings are, in fact, serviceable, correct? v

    Second hand LR4

    Paul, You mention that CPO warranty covers worn bushings ... do you have personal experience with this? I took my CPO '11 LR4 HSE to the local LR dealer for the 60k mile scheduled maintenance, and they quoted me $1,000+ to replace worn control arm bushings (not covered by CPO, according to...

    Mistery Connector

    So I just replaced the battery on my 2011 LR4 HSE (thanks to Umberto for the tip about the Sears AGM group 49!). Things went well, but as I removed the old battery, I saw this connector seemingly "dangling" from the wiring harness that connects to the positive post on the battery (see pic...

    Windshield smearing ...

    Thank you everybody for your feedback. I gave up on the Bosch wipers, and installed a pair of the "Trico 25-220 Force High Performance Beam". If these don't do the trick, I'm going with the stock OEM part. Will report back in a few weeks. v

    Windshield smearing ...

    This is sort of an odd question to post in a make/model specific forum, but here it goes. We have a 2011 LR4, which is a dream to drive, *except* when it rains. I have installed the same wiper blades I use with all my other vehicles (premium BOSCH blades), and have even applied RainX to the...

    Control Arm Bushings (CPO Warranty?)

    No real symptoms that I've noticed (although my wife is the primary driver - she hasn't complained about anything). Maybe a bit of a clunk leaving a parking space when turning the wheel. Not that noticeable, though. v

    Control Arm Bushings (CPO Warranty?)

    Just took my "new to me" CPO, 2011 LR4 to the LR dealer for the 60K scheduled maintenance service. They recommend that I change the control arm bushings, as they're showing signs of wear. I searched the forums, and saw that some of you had gotten LR to cover this under "warranty". Has anybody...

    Gotta love LR service charges - Brake flush

    On a related topic, is there a way to TELL whether the vehicle needs a brake fluid flush? I bought my CPO LR4 with 51K miles, but LR dealer couldn't tell me for sure when the fluid had been last flushed by the original owner. Thanks! v

    Black spots on wheels (oxidation?)

    Does anybody know if the 2011 LR4 HSE has clear coated aluminum wheels? I was detailing my car today, and noticed the wheels on the right side have these black spots that don't come off with normal cleaners. Took a scotch brite pad to one of the wheels, and the black spots started to come...

    Door hard to shut

    Does anybody else have a particular door on the LR4, that's hard to shut? The passenger door of my 2011 LR4 HSE takes twice as much force to shut as the rest. The car has a CPO warranty, so I could take it to the dealer, but I feel kinda silly bringing it in for something this mundane...

    Radio muted during call

    On my 2011 LR4 HSE (Nav), whenever I place (or answer) a phone call while paired to the car, even if I then redirect the call to my handset, it mutes the radio (and I haven't found a way to un-mute it, until the call is complete). Is this the expected behavior? Kind of silly, that my occupants...
