    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    If your calculations are correct, I have overloaded my LR4 substantially. I have had 7 adults in the truck plus luggage inside and on a hitch mounted hauler. I suspect we were over 1200 pounds just in people plus all the luggage for two weeks in Europe. 7 bags at 50 pounds plus carryons...

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    Marfnarfle, Glad to see you found your way over here. :) I forgot to mention I checked on the crossbars again today; same thing. I will keep looking to see where they are and when they get delivered to you. Rob

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    One other thing that I feel I need to mention with the ball mount issue and load ratings. At one time, the manual said there couldn't be more than 2 1/2 inches of rise for the ball mount on the Land Rover vehicles. I read through teh post from the thread you provided. It said the guy used 9"...

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    It's stated on the website and in the owners manual. My hitch said the same thing, but the rest of the documentation says 550lbs. Rob

    Impressed with Towing (6600lbs)

    I could never figure out why LR gave the LR3/4 such a high tow rating and then hampered it with a low tounge weight. To further compound the issue, you are not advised to use a weight distribution hitch on the LR3/4. There were stories on the web about the hitch poping out during towning. I...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System Failure light

    I had the fault with my LR4. I got the standard song and dance from the service area that it's a know issue and LR is working on it. That was almost a year ago. Rob

    Electrical Problem

    It's happened to most of us at some point. My first time was in July 2010. It's a known issue that supposedly a software upgrade will fix. Rob

    Advice on Tire Rim?

    Check the junk yards for a matching wheel. It should be reasonable and not too much more expensive than an aftermarket wheel. Sometimes you will see a matching spare wheel on Ebay or craigs list. I'm not sure why the dealer won't repair a nail hole unless it is through the sidewall. If...

    Wash After Service?

    If you can talk to the guy before he starts and hand him a couple of 20s, he will do a much better job. Trust me. :) Rob

    Buy or not Buy 2012 LR4

    My LR4 never left me stranded or fearful that I coudn't start it up and drive it anywhere. Is it 100% reliable? If you throw some minor electrical gremlins out that are part of secondary systems, yes. But if you want everything to work 100% of the time, then no. I only had a few minor issues...

    Uh Oh! Help with diagnosing sudden offroad LR4 Trauma?

    Clear liquid? It would be my guess that it is some brake fluid. That would also explain why there would have been odd feelings in the steering wheel. If one brake was working and the other one wasn't, it would feel like the steering wheel was getting pulled in one direction. I would say...

    Potential buyer - leather stain question

    I had the tan color, I wear jeans almost every day and the seats never got stained from them. I had my LR4 Lux for a year and the seats looked practically new. Rob

    Broke my glass roof

    Domoic, That's great to hear it came in well below the estimate. How many times does that really happen? It seems like it never happens to me. You will have to keep us posted if you hear any creaking or poping. Over time, it would also be helpful for those who still have the LR4 to hear...

    This forum is dying a slow painful death!

    Hi guys, Blackforestham has a vested interest in this community, and I'm sure he was only trying to steer the topic back to where we would like it all to be; talking about fun and personalization of our rigs for thier intended purpose. Maybe the words chosen are a bit harsh, but I 100%...

    This forum is dying a slow painful death!

    I'm sorry to see it as well. I really thought I would miss being able to share in the joy of LR4 ownership after I traded my truck off. This place was one of my favorite haunts, now I basically go days without even thinking about it. It still seems like a great place if you have an LR3 or...

    Failed to start @!@

    Sorry for the second post, but the new FOB is not waterproof either. They are also extreemly expensive, so try to make sure you don't let yours go through the washing machine or get thrown in a pool while at a party. Rob

    Sorry, the LR3 key was built this way. The LR4 uses a different fob and it has a battery. Rob

    LR4 20 inch rims - tire options

    Wow! That looks great. You don't see that many green LR4s. The extra height and the bigger tires really correct the stance. It sure whould have been nice if that was how it looked from the factory. Nice pics! Rob

    LR4 durability and workhorse

    Hi, I have had 7 adults in my LR4 with all the luggage for a trip to Europe for 14 days strapped on the back. I can tell you that I would not have know a single person was in the car if it weren't for all of the talk. The air suspension really makes the LR4 feel the same fully loaded or...

    Update for the Owners of this Beautiful Truck!

    I think it starts the warning at 25mph. It tells you to slow down or the suspension will lower. Rob
