    parking assist

    With your quandary in mind, I tested this today on 2011 LR4 HSE-Lux with vision (surround cameras). All controls remain fully functional when vehicle is in reverse. I tested audio volume and controls, as well as selected various camera views. It seems really strange that your electronic...

    Leftover NEW 2012 LR4 LUX

    For the same config but higher mileage (45K) I paid the same in Virginia...then paid another $1,500 for trucking some 2K miles across I-90, so ended up exactly mid-40's. Mine is Green Lux also with the Vision, HD, RSE, etc. To me, ~$19K below list was fair for 45K miles with the config I...

    Battery life on Discovery 4

    This morning was chilly (some 5 deg below freezing) and my 2011 LR4 sounded like the starter was struggling. That prompted my to pull out a voltmeter and poke around. An adapter in the cigarette lighter makes for an easy place to connect a voltmeter to monitor actual system voltage. Battery...

    Confused

    If you log into the Land Rover Topix website and enter the VIN you can expand the factory configuration for full details. Look for "LOCKING REAR AXLE - E DIFF" I wish I had known about this when shopping! LR dealers know how to look up factory configuration details, but aftermarket dealers...

    Confused

    With traction control ON, power cuts when a wheel spins to keep you on the road. With traction control OFF, you get power to all 4 wheels (snow flying from all corners). This is the "secret sauce" that I haven't found a good explanation for. However, I can tell you that the Toyota Tacoma...

    Confused

    Link that AceRider posted is indeed very informative. LR4 uses what is being termed full time 4WD LR4 has an electronic locking center diff and optional locking rear diff (included with Heavy Duty package), but there is also electronic traction control to limit slippage at each wheel. So it is...

    Blower noise under passenger seat

    2011 HSE Lux; when the blower is on under the passenger seat (to warm toes of the rear right-hand passenger) there is an annoying noise like paper stuck in a blower motor. I tried poking around with a flashlight, but can't see anything. Suggestions? How hard is it to access the blower to...

    Memory Seats

    I pretty much thought the memory seats and the exit feature were superfluous, but they were included with the 2011 HSE-Lux, so WTH...now I'm addicted. My wife and I aren't much different in size, but we sure do have different seat and mirror preferences and I love having one button to get back...

    Timing of purchase and new vs. used

    In my experience, several main factors determine new vs used: - patience - flexibility on options, color, etc - willingness to purchase remotely (size of the market you are looking at) - how much value you deduct for a few dents/dings/stains Premium options/upgrades depreciate faster...

    Almost 2 years now...Still in love with my LR4

    2 weeks in 2011 LR4 and loving it About a year and a half ago I visited Bergamo Italy and the B&B owner picked us up from the airport in his Discovery4. I was so impressed by the comfort and utility, that I started looking for one. We don't have a LR dealer in Montana and no LR4s (a few LR3...

    LR3/LR4 Stuff For Sale

    Tow electronics installed I received the trailer wire harness and got installed yesterday. Install turned into a couple of hour job as I figured out little details, but was generally pretty easy. This was my first time digging into the LR4; I'm really impressed with how well it is put...
