thule aeroblades and fit kit
The anchor does make contact with both sides, albeit not over a huge surface area. As the hex bolt tightens, it turns the anchor until one corner makes contact with each side of the rail. You end up with 2 of the 4 corners making contact, the forward right and rear left on the right-side track... -
thule aeroblades and fit kit
I was one part of the previous thread. I slide the rectangular anchors in the narrow way and they seat themselves on two corners when you tighten their hex screws. I admit I'm still curious why the are not sized/shaped so as to "grab" on all four corners (by making them more square and... -
Nitrous fill tires
The other big advantage for nitrogen in some applications is that it escapes more slowly than "regular" air, and far slower than carbon dioxide gas. Makes it great for bicycle tires (low volume, high pressure) because the cost is fairly low. Makes it really expensive for car tires (high volume... -
Does this sound right to you?
These are big, heavy cars/trucks that are capable of quite a turn of speed. It makes perfect sense that they will go through brake pads very quickly compared to lighter or less powerful vehicles. What doesn't make sense is working with a dealership that "pads" the price or necessity of a repair... -
Suspension failure мессаге...
OK, I don't know if our 2012 is just picking up the vibe, but yesterday got the fault message again. Same circumstances, pulled up to curb after driving about 10 blocks put it in Park and left the engine idling. About 2 minutes into idling the "suspension fault" message displayed. Turned off the... -
Suspension failure мессаге...
Had the same, scary message. Never reappeared after restarting but gave me a bit of a sweat at the time. Had just fixed a rear tire flat and worried that I might have screwed something up. -
Surprised by poor snow performance
The ground clearance was one of the selling points for the LR4. You can have all the potential traction you want, but if the wheels can't touch the ground for high centering it means squat. The Audi is a whole lot more fun to play Finnish rally driver in, but the LR4 is a far more capable... -
Surprised by poor snow performance
Interesting experience you had. I had completely the opposite in my snow driving so far this year in a mix of thick fresh snow and iced over conditions. I had to switch off the traction control system to force much tail-out or slide in corners (always figure it's a good idea to feel the actual... -
Roof Rails
Rostov-Land Rover Portland (Oregon) did mine. Price was inclusive of labor and not related to vehicle purchase (bought mine out of California). They took card of the HD radio issue and the tailgate release update at the same time. -
Roof Rails
I paid $609 total for black full length rails installed by the dealer in December. I would ask for your dealer to recheck their math. -
Little feelings about the LR4.....
It never occurred to me to buy a LR supplied iPod cable. I think over the years I've accumulated 30-40 apple oe cables and put two of them in our LR4, one for the iPod connection and one for the usb connection (to charge the phone). Yes they are white rather than black, but the iPod doesn't seem... -
Factory roof rails & Thule rack fit kit quirk
Thanks for the offer Nick, and thanks for peeking in at the board. I'll happily take you up on the set of "standard" plates as the RackAttack has mine now (and the new instruction sheet too). Luckily I'm pulling the rack this weekend to adjust placement anyway so there won't be any load on it... -
Factory roof rails & Thule rack fit kit quirk
A long-winded FYI for people looking to purchase/install a Thule roof rack on an LR4 with factory roof rails. I bought a set of Thule aero cross bars, podium feet and fit kit 3112 to install on the factory roof rails (full length). In the fit kit there are two sets of rectangular "anchors"... -
HD Radio
That was my curiosity as well. I hadn't noticed any issue with the tailgate (though I had yet to use the remote release) and wouldn't have noticed anything had I not read the invoice. Anyone know what the base issue is? Nice to have the HD radio, and luckily never had any issues with the... -
HD Radio
Had my 2012 HSE into the PDX dealer today for roof rails. When I dropped it off I casually mentioned that I didn't seem to have HD radio functional. When I picked up the freshly washed beast, the repair invoice listed "Q180 HD RADIO UPDATED" as well as "Q166 TAILGATE RELEASE BUTTON, CAUSE : T19"...
