    What's with the evoques

    My feeling, at least from what I see out here on eastern, Long Island, is its a case of further dilution of the brand. What started with those innovative thinkers at Ford creating the Freelander has carried on with the RRS line and now the Evoque. LR was always a niche company with a small but...

    Leak

    Yes. I could feel water accumulating in the same area. I brought it to the dealer yesterday and it was repaired in 10 minutes, covered under warranty. They said the problem was drainage tubes that bring water from the sunroof and empty underneath the car were twisted causing a backup.

    Frustration with '14 availability

    Why not consider a pre-owned (or even new) 2013? I got mine in October, had to hop on a plane to get it but got what I wanted (Fuji/Ebony, LUX, Black Design Pack, HD radio) for 10K less than the original owner paid 6 month prior. Sure, I would have liked the HD package but I knew from my...

    Stock Conti's

    I had nothing against them until I saw how poorly the car handled on rain-slicked and snowy roads. It got worse on small hills. I switched to Nokian WRG2's and noticed an improvement even on dry flat surfaces. Can't blame Land Rover for using them, they're just not the best choice for inclement...

    LR4 - Heavy Duty Package Question

    Question: Has anyone ever added the locker after purchase? It wasn't an option on my used 13 LR4 LUX. I asked the service manager at my local dealer if the HD package could be added and he told me no, its done on the assembly line. I assumed he would know and dropped the issue and put the money...

    Have $75K? You can get a '13 or '14 LR4 Today!

    I've had my 2013 LUX Fuji/Ebony with the Black Pack 1 about 2 months and it was a struggle to find a pre-owned with this configuration and I was willing to fly and drive home. I expected more would become available as the 14's began to appear but that was not the case. My feeling was the demand...

    Yet Another Stupid Tire Thread

    I've only had them a day, but just got home after driving 120 miles on dry pavement. In a word: Awesome. Smooth ride, they GRIP the road and run silent. I'm shocked how different the ride feels. Expecting up to a foot of snow on Monday. I'll update ....

    Yet Another Stupid Tire Thread

    I've owned my 2013 LR4 about 2 months and we've been bombarded with bad weather here in the east. I only started researching tires (here) because of the dreadful performance of the OEM Contis on roads where snow hadn't been completely removed. Just yesterday I had Nokian WGR2's installed. I...

    Fuel tank capacity- Sucks

    Glad I found this thread. Thanks, it really helped to understand the conflicting information. (Tank capacity, distance to empty, average mpg and the fuel light are all NOT synchronized.) I've had my LR4 just over a month and this is my only complaint. The tank is just too small for this beast...

    Discovery XXV Special Edition

    I wasn't aware they were so expensive in the UK .... I guess its not a typo.

    Discovery XXV Special Edition

    I think the GBP 63K was a typo as he says in the same sentence its GBP 4K (which is $6,500) above the current model. Thanks for posting the article, I enjoyed reading it, especially the line about the Hill Decent Control, which came in handy yesterday here in icy Sag Harbor, NY.

    Poll - help me pick color - FUJI or CORRIS

    I've owner three RR since 96. (I buy and hold each 5 to 7 years). Two have been black, one gray, all with a dark interior option. I recently bought a 2013 LR4 Lux in Fuji w/ebony interior and the Black pack. I love the car and love the white black contrast. Personally, I think its the sharpest...
