Buying advised on 2000 discovery which have overheat problem
Well.. got the truck anyway... price was decent and condition was very good. And low mileage under 65K miles. And frash headgasket job totally over $2000 done few files ago sounded good to me so I don't have to worry about headgasket problem for long time. Now the good news is that it doesn't... -
Retrofit rear AC (air conditioning) on DII SE7
Is it possible to retro rear air conditioning on series 2 SE7? that is if I can get all the parts necessary for cheap? My 2000 SE7 got everything even the ACE whether that's good or bad (but I like it so far) but it's got no rear AC dispite being a SE7 model. A rear AC would make this car... -
Buying advised on 2000 discovery which have overheat problem
Thanks for the advise. What would be the symptom of a dropped sleeve? I know what is a sleeve but never exprienced a such issue. Would I find oil in the coolant or trace of it like brown mayo inside the oil cap and such? low compression on one cylinder? Wouldn't the land rover repair shop that... -
Buying advised on 2000 discovery which have overheat problem
I am considering a project car to play with. I have over 20 years of exprience in working on Alfa Romeos and Peugeots so troubleshooting a nasty electrical problem or tearing apart transmissions and engines does not faze me a bit. I found this 2000 SE7 for sale with overheating engine. Owner... -
Insurance Premiums/Cost of Ownership
My insurance premium is actually $30 cheaper per 6 month compared to the car I traded in. 2007 Lexus GS350 AWD. And is also cheaper than 2010 Toyota Prius I have so I am thinking LR4 is pretty cheap. Allstate 100/300/50K with $1000 deductable. Total premuim for LR4 is $285 for 6 month... -
Lr4 Mpg
1400 mile since purchase 14.1mpg average speed 20mph, mostly city around town driving. Actually it's not the mpg that bothers me but the shot distance between fill up does. Barely 250mile or so? My Prius can go 500mile between the fill up and all other cars I owned did minimum 300 or... -
Premium Leather?
Ventilated front seat is one thing LR4 should have had. Almost all it's competitors have it and it's almost standard feature in luxury models such as Lexus GX460, it's closest competitor. It's got ton of cool features such as surround camera system that no other competitors even dare to touch... -
Emergency brake failed... Again
Well at least I don't think it's widely known issue yet. I've got 1400 miles as of today, so far not much of issue. Two warranty calls so far, one was the tire fault (out of round) and other was software update for the rear power window which is well known issue and TSB out there. Overally I am... -
LR4 Windshield Defroster
It's one of those things, you notice it if you are aware of it and you don't if you forget about it. I did not notice it driving day and night for several weeks after purchasing the truck untill my wife pointed it out. It started to bother me a bit and I do notice it during day also but I am... -
2nd and 3rd row audio controls
Unfortunately 2nd and 3rd audio control is no longer available on LR4. Only the second audio control is available with $2500 rear entertainment seat package. However, I am trying to investigate to see if this can be retrofitted. -
L4 HSE Lux Pricing
I believe you have the HSE Lux not Lux plus. The full surround camera system and heavy duty package are standard on Lux Plus with MSRP little over $59K. HSE Lux with $750 HD package will have MSRP of little over $58K. but good deal, although mine had no miles fresh off the truck but I didn't... -
Folding Mirrors?
Yeah I have one. It's an exclusive feature on HSE Lux Plus only. It's cool that it folds automatically when locking the car but yeah I hope it doesn't break soon... -
Should we listen to reliability reviews b4 buying LR4?
Magazine and online reviews? None of them I read says reliability of LR4 is terrible. They only indicate the uncertainity of reliability of LR4 based on the reliability history of LR3 or other earlier models. Since Land Rover significantly updated LR4 with all new electric system... -
discovery 4
Speaking of oil change interval, yes 20000Km or 15000mi interval seems pretty extreme but this standard is getting adapted by other manufactures as well on their newest engines. I am pretty sure old mechanics with years of experience and so used to the good old 5000Km or 3000mi interval will... -
Wheel Options
That is an interesting finding. It looks like a new design too so I suppose it was designed specifically for LR4 to clear the larger brake without being 19". -
Wheel Options
Where in their website did you see 18" wheel as optional for LR4? If you downloaded the PDF Accessaries Brochure for LR4, you get outdated LR3 one. New LR4 accessaries brochure is not yet available for US market. I found this Discovery 4 accessaries brochure made for other countries off... -
discovery 4
US and Canada is only place we call Discovery 4 as LR4. I have owned my LR4 about 2 weeks now. Three issues so far. Bad tire or wheel caused some vibration at the steering wheel at 60mph or higher right after taking a delivery. Dealer needed 24 hours to figure it out. First they thought... -
Wheel Options
I read an article saying that LR4 has 19" wheel standard because of the larger brake system from Ranger Rover Sport was adapted. I would say 18" is out of question. -
Rear Seat DVD System
Has anyone attempted to retrofit factory rear entertainment system? Not the roof mounted one but the OEM type with dual screen and DVD changer in the back. Buying those parts from dealer will run in several grands but used parts can be sourced reasonably. I think I can buy all parts needed... -
