    15K mi service

    I just passed 1 year mark and 10K miles on my 2010 and started getting service reminder. I had gotten an complimentary oil change at 5K but dealer obviously didn't reset the service reminder. Is there a way to reset it my self without any expensive diagnostic tool? I inquired about the...

    Camera issue

    Yeah you should have gotten it. They are finally getting the system work as it should by replace all cables to the new design. I expect to not have this problem again for long time... knock on wood. What people don't realize is that it's not just rear cam on standard model plus 4 more...

    Hi

    I bought mine (rear ladder, roof rail, trailer wiring) from http://www.carpartsestore.com/products.php?cat=LAND+ROVER I also use www.parts.com as sometimes they have slightly cheaper price on some parts. Both have lowest price anywhere I found. They are both Land Rover dealers actually, they...

    Tow Assist (?)

    Yeah my dealer charged 30 min labor to enable the feature after I installed the wiring my self (15 min, $135). Another cool thing if you have the vision assist package (5 camera system) is you can now have your side cameras looking at rear of the car instead of straight down even moving forward.

    Camera issue

    Why would dealership need to keep your car for 16 days? In my cases, total 3 days in span of 7 month but it's fixed. I had to make several trips but each trip, lasted no more then a day. First time, they diagnosed bad wiring (front left blue and right flickering). Sent me home same day and...

    latest LR4 comparison

    ah... GX460. I looked at it and my father in law eventually bought it. It's an over priced Toyota 4 runner trying to be a crossover. Useless 3rd row seat, no head room, small windows, useless cargo area, impractical huge side swing cargo door, lack of power, cheap interior trim piece etc...

    roof racks

    $2000 for what? the whole expedition roof rack? It's free to download owners manual and accessory installation manuals. If it's asking you to pay for it, you are in a wrong section where you pay for subscription and download factory workshop manuals, technical bulletins etc.

    Multitude of problems

    If a person reads a post reporting a problem and stay away from the car/make then that person would never be happy with the car anyway. If you look at any online forum from any make, any model, there are always posts complaining about this and that. Oh yes, some of them are true. Today's car...

    Count Laszlo's LR4 - Guards & Flaps Pics - Warning Hi-Res Photos

    Nice collection of lens you got there. I am blaming my photo skill on a $350 kit lens :) So $600 for front and rear guards only or did you order something else?

    Count Laszlo's LR4 - Guards & Flaps Pics - Warning Hi-Res Photos

    How does the price compare with www.carpartsestore.com from US? I recently purchased some parts and found them to be cheapest in US. I see that Duckworth has lower price but shipping? How much was the shipping for front and rear guard? By the way, thanks for the picture. This is by far the best...

    Temperature setting reverts to celsius

    My nav voice setting also keeps reverting to UK from USA everytime I restart. Dealer updated the software but issue is not fixed... oh well.. doesn't bother me, can't tell the difference :hmpf: But celsious one would be damn annoying...

    LR4 Lighted Door Sill protector

    Last night, I found the manufactorer and contacted them directly. Their price for custom one is $450, alot cheaper than $625 I was quoted from the retailer. It will be cheaper if we can do a group buy but at this price, I think I am going to do it alone if no one is interested in. I am...

    Valve tappet noise or knocking when hot

    Since then I've learned a lot on Rover V8. I heard that there are many reasons for such noise, Some will just tick like that naturally and go on without much problem. In other cases, it could be the dropped liner moving up and down noise. In my case, my finding is inconclusive but I...

    Possible to upgrade me HSE basic 240 watt HK stereo to l7 one at dealer?

    Looking at the screen and using guide lines doesn't mean i am not trusting human mind and trusting machines instead. Relying entirely on those self parking feature on latest Lexus or Toyota would be. Fighter jets have heads up display unit showing guide lines to guide the altitude etc and to...

    Possible to upgrade me HSE basic 240 watt HK stereo to l7 one at dealer?

    For 2010, Surround camera was only available on HSE Lux PLUS trim level. 2011 is little different. I actually have the surround camera and although I do have problems, it's actually quite useful. What most people don't realize is the the rear view on surround camera system is very much...

    LR4 Lighted Door Sill protector

    I found this cool looking blue lighted door sill protector. It's not a generic one but a specifically made for LR3/4 body. However, it's only for LR3 and they don't know if manufacturer is planning to make one for LR4. Obviously only difference is the lighted lettering. It says "- LR3 -" as you...

    Key Programming for Myself and Wife

    LR4 is missing this feature. I used have Lexus GS which had this and it was really nice. I just grab and open the door and seat, mirror, steering column starts adjusting before I even sit in. Now I just have to sit in and press the memory button.

    LR4 Maintenence

    I guess I was mainly amazed at the expense of a complete break job in general. 1994 is the year I last paid someone to work on my car. I paid several grands to replace an engine on a car and I said that's it, I am going to do all the work my self and save money. What is the shop rate these...

    LR4 Maintenence

    $600 - $1200 for a brake job??? amazing... This is the reason I started working on cars my self. I could probably get a set of genuine rotors and pads for few hundreds from online wholesale places, minimum 30% less then local dealer delivered to my door and replace all in one afternoon...

    floor mats

    FYI, difference between LR4 and LR3 mats. Actually there is no difference in floor structure between LR3 and 4. The difference in floor mat design actually exists between 2005-2007 vs 2008 and on. Number of retention hook went from two to just 1 per front mat and no more hook for rear mats...

    Wheel Options

    of course yes. RRS is based on LR3/4 and powertrain componets are pretty much same. Search ebay and there are many OEM copies of RRS wheels being sold for not many. I really want the 20" 5 spoke RRS supercharger wheels ($699 a set or so) but my wife says 'no'...
