    Driving lights/lamp installation,

    It takes a lot of workmanship and time to install them. Have you inquired with an independent LR shop? Just be careful who you go with since LR has the measurement templates so when they start cutting into your bumper the size, shape and accuracy is not a botch job.

    Land Rover - Made in India

    I was a die hard BMW enthusiast and left the brand because their focus is the Chinese market where heritage means nil. It's very unfortunate legacy brands are dying for greater market share and magins. Although LR may go all India, let's hope they keep their philosophy.

    Land Rover - Made in India

    BMW just built and opened several HUGE plants in China - not sure about Mercedes, but I'd assume they are doing the same. I wouldn't be surprised in 5- to-10-years that 50% of cars/suvs/trucks (regardless of manufacturer) are made in China or other emerging markets. It's all about margins and...

    Land Rover - Made in India

    I posted this message about LR moving to India in another thread but I think it's important enough to open it up into a new thread so we can discuss what it means to Land Rover's future and its loyal customers. Your opinions are welcome! Wrote: Land Rover has officially opened up a...

    LR4 Starting Problem

    I completely agree, on both senarios! Story is odd.

    LR4 Starting Problem

    You MUST make sure LRNA has record of this issue/transaction. Since the truck is so new, they should give you a new LR4, same options etc. If that doesn't work, ask them for a full refund and walk. Go buy your RR somewhere else.

    CD Loading...but no CD!

    You could try disconnecting the battery and resetting, that may help. I never heard of this, so who knows. May just be best to take her in.

    Sick deal!!! Congrats! :-)

    Logic 7 Sound System worth it for ME?

    The standard system is very good, the L7 is excellent. I love high quality sound and was surprised at how good the standard system is.

    Yes, in 2013 when the new RR releases. (excited face)

    am I getting a good deal on an LR4?

    Both of these are good deals, spot on actually. See if you can get a few grand off sticker, then seal the deal. The free oil changes is sweet too!

    I would love a diesel LR4. Really, really hope they bring one to the US someday soon.

    Will I miss the locking differential?

    I agree it's an amazing deal. The full-size spare has a cost of somewhere near the cost of the HD package alone. I don't have the HD package, but have checked eBay for full-size spares and there are a lot of them around for a reasonable fee. I'd like to get rid of my mini-me-spare.

    Lr4 Brakes

    Love this Rob: I get way more enjoyment out of the gas pedal. Well, for any folks who are inclined, pads are actually really easy to replace on Land Rovers. They're designed to be easy - for those folks crossing the deserts of Africa and need to replace on the fly. And I'm sure there are...

    Lr4 Brakes

    Pads I can see but rotors should last at least 20k.

    Lr4 Brakes

    Weight does play a major factor when combined with high-performance. It's a mathematic ratio. Somewhat like power to weight ratios. And Japanese brakes are just as bad as American brakes. EU, High performance brakes just do not last as long. Do you know the LR4 is almost 6,000 pounds? -...

    Lr4 Brakes

    Hey Rob, I totally see what you're saying, that longer durability would be nice, but truly, any high-performance braking system designed with today's engineering aptitude and knowledge, don't last that long. Especially when it comes to driving habits. I'm sure there will be new materials down...

    Order new LR4, Wait or Compromise?

    I though I had to have the HD package, wouldn't take a LR without it. Well, after a ton of research, I said screw it and went forward with a non-HD search. And although I have only taken my LR4 off-road just once, let me tell you, it was pretty extreme and had no problems at all.

    Lr4 Brakes

    No offense, but Ford's "brakes" are truly bottom on the "engineering" barrel when it comes to technology, rotor size, and overall stoppnig power. The LR4 brakes are "huge" in size and have absolutely amazing performance! And that comes with the trade-off and price associated to high quality...

    How important is the rear locking differential for beach driving?

    I sometimes I troll in the LR3 area - saying the LR4 has issues (stay away) isn't really correct at all IMO. I've had zero problems with mine and other LR4 owners have had annoying issues like surround cameras etc., but no mechanical issues as noted by Mike. Are you getting this info from...

    Will I miss the locking differential?

    The HD rear diff locking is for crazy, jungle off-roading, and I am sure most owners, diehards included, would never put their LR4s through that sort of terror. The LR4 is already superb out of the box.

    2012 model year

    Hmmm, I'm not too keen on an 8-speed auto, I've had 7-speeds in the past, ZF, and they were jolting, not smooth.

    Order new LR4, Wait or Compromise?

    I think too many pints and a lot of pented up frustration and anger over a dying and broken economy isn't helping QC, not just for LR, but for Britian. It would be difficult for me to fork over 60- to-90K for a car made in India, but at the same time, I work with a ton of engineers in India and...
