    Spare tire

    i’m a Canadian with a 2016 LR4 HSE Lux. I have 255/55/r19 Continental all season tires as well as Continental 255/55/r19 snow tires. My spare, annoyingly, is a mini and I am considering replacing it with one of my all seasons as I’m about to make the seasonal switch to the snow tires. Boring...

    For those of you thinking about the upcoming winter...

    I have both all season tires as well as snow tires on my 2016 LR4 which I switch depending on the season. Last year we went to Key West for the Winter and I left the all season tires on. This year I was thinking of putting the snow tires on in late October or early November and leaving them on...

    Dash Cam Recommendations for the LR4?

    I also have the Blackvue DR650S in my 2016 LR4. I have it hard wired into the fuse box (this wasn't hard to do at all). I have it up behind the mirror and out of sight. It definitely works in the background and I can access it from my iPhone (Android phone apparently also) as well as my PC via...

    LR4 Tail Gate - Auto Lift

    This is great. I'll definitely look into it. A question for the LR4 masses, has anyone tried this? If so please share your experience.

    Living up to its unreliable history

    I don't understand the reviews which continually deride Land Rover serviceability and maintenance issues while at the same time rating LR as the best off road vehicle - seems incompatible to me. I bought my first LR4 when they were introduced to Canada in 2010 and my second in 2016 when they...

    Surround Camera

    Greetings, I've had a 2010 LR4 HSE Lux and now a 2016 HSE Lux. Love em both and would get another if they still made them. Both have the surround camera option. While the backup camera is excellent (except for the need to continually clean the camera lens), the other 4 camera's I've found to be...

    LR4 Replacments...

    If I had to replace my LR4, a full size Range Rover would be my first choice, hands down.

    LR4 Mileage Poll

    About 25000 Km on my 2016 LR4 Lux SC6. Just put ~ 7K on it via a round trip from Ottawa, Canada to Key West, Florida. Sorry I came back as it hasn't stopped snowing. My surprise was fuel economy. Vehicle was getting 17 litres/100 km when new, worse than my previous 2010 V8 LR4. Then at ~ 15000...

    WAHOO!

    Way too many opportunities for snow and cold play in Ottawa Canada, so I bailed to Key West FL for the rest of the winter. First long road trip with my LR4 SC6. Very comfortable and 21 mpg but as many have suggested, the navigation system sucks. Fortunately I brought Garmin along. BTW, haven't...

    6 Months with LR4 - my observations

    I've been waving to other LR4 drivers since I got my first one in 2010. The soccer moms are oblivious but the majority of the others don't seem to have a clue. Let's grow the practice

    Booster seats with backs in 3rd row? 2016 LR4

    Hey Davidinseattle, Thanks for this info. I’ll give it a try

    Rear hatch switch not working

    I've been annoyed by the rear glass opening function on both my 2010 and now my 2016 LR4. The fob button releases the first phase of the unlock/opening process remotely but it appears there is a second stage, possibly a safety feature like on the hood (this feature on the hood makes sense but...

    Booster seats with backs in 3rd row? 2016 LR4

    Interesting you mention removing the middle seat of the second row. I have a 2016 LR4 and have been casually considering this. Was it difficult? Is the floor left free of wires, etc? Did it improve access to the third row? Any other comments about it removal or post removal use of the space...

    First Winter Drive...

    My 2016 LR4 loves our winters in Ottawa Canada but I don’t so it’s going to help me escape to Key West. Margarita I’ll here I come.

    LR4 Tail Gate - Auto Lift

    Can't say I can argue with the logic that the technical challenges present; but the option to have both a manual as well as an auto open capability would be nice, especially for old farts like me.

    LR4 Tail Gate - Auto Lift

    While I love the large, box shaped cargo area of the LR4 and have come to accept the split tail gate, I must admit that I am envious of the SUV's that have an automatic tail gate open feature. I realize this can't easily happen with the bottom half of the LR4 tail gate but it sure would be nice...

    Driving to Key West shortly. The abundance of sunshine and margaritas should obviate the need to clean the rear camera, at least for a few months...

    WeatherTech vs ? floor liners

    I purchased Weathertech mats for my 2010 LR4 when it was brand new and moved them to my new 2016 LR4. The driver and rear (middle row) seat mats have served me very well. The front pax floor mat has always been a problem and finally I had to cut out the area that comes up against the door...

    Surround Cameras

    Tried the "Rain-X" suggestion but it didn't help keeping the rear camera free of mud spray and definitely didn't do anything for snow/ice build up. The only thing I've found that helps so far is giving it a quick wipe every time I use the truck. Aside from the crappy infotainment system, I guess...

    Never thought of Rain-X. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Surround Cameras

    Interesting views on the use of the surround camera option. I would find the mirror mounted cameras more useful if I could redirect their view to serve as blind spot assists augmenting the in mirror alerting system. Has anyone attempted to change the viewing angle of these mirror mounted...

    Surround Cameras

    I don't have much off-road experience so I hadn't thought of this type of use. I'd still be interested in knowing if anyone has changed the viewing angle for the two mirror cameras. The blind spot assist strikes me as a very useful possibility.

    Surround Cameras

    Curious if members have any views on the surround cameras and their functionality. I've had this option on both my 2010 LR4 as well as my current 2016 LR4. While the back up camera is quite useful in spite of the severe distance distortion, I am particularly confounded by the cameras in each of...

    2010 vs. 2015 LR4

    Can't comment on the 2015 LR4 but I had a 2010 LR4 HSE LUX (V8) which I kept for 5 years and replaced it with a 2016 LR4 HSE V6 SC. The addition of running boards and the dial drive selector aside, I can't say there's been much difference. The only maintenance issue I had with the 2010 was the...
