    Running board removal question

    I don't know 100% as I didn't have factory steps, but my lr4 came with no sliders or rails (side trim intact). And installing tubes involved cutting a few holes in the trim and attaching tubes to the existing holes in the frame. Given my experience I would assume you could remove those factory...

    CPO 2013 LR4 low miles vs higher miles

    Yeah, I thought I would too. But like most other new features on a vehicle you get used to them shortly and then it's not even thought when you drive. I didn't expect this, but now I feel the older stick shifter is bulky, ugly, and antiquated. And the ECO feature turns off with a button (I...

    CPO 2013 LR4 low miles vs higher miles

    To throw a vote in their for the V6, there isn't a thing I miss or regret with the scv6 on my '14. With the performance I get I see no reason in getting an older model just to get the v8. For the right price I'd highly recommend a 2014. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Water pump replacement step by step

    Mine was unexpectedly replaced after 8k miles on a recent dealer visit (even though I didn't notice a leak). All under warranty and took an extra full day in the shop for labor. I have no details on the procedure only that I was surprised to learn I needed a replacement so soon. Sent from my...

    Wet Carpets and Headliner - Water Leak

    It's likely that any lr4 owner who happens to be in an extended rainstorm will probably get these leaks. I expect it to happen to me if I move out of the desert known as California. Who knows, maybe El Niño will bring out more reports on this! One is tempted to proactively address this before...

    Intelligent stop/start able to be disabled 2015/2016?

    Hah! Tell me about it. I was in SD for 22 years prior. Moved up here for college with only a hoody as my winter jacket. Top 3 SD things I miss :wink: Good Mexican Food Good Beaches Desert

    Intelligent stop/start able to be disabled 2015/2016?

    I'm in the Bay Area. Lows are around 50 degrees by the manual it shouldn't impact Eco. Wondering if I'm seeing similar affects as waterndirt and tcm75 since I've had a couple dealer services this last fall. While i don't mind the feature, I'm not about to complain to the dealer about it not...

    Intelligent stop/start able to be disabled 2015/2016?

    A little off topic but... Noticed that my lr4 rarely goes into eco mode lately. Within the last month or so I've seen it turn off/on maybe 5x total while doing the exact same commute (typically the feature would activate 10-20x each way of the commute). I've had several brake and parking...

    Aftermarket rear seat entertainment system

    I'm glad to hear you've got a positive experience with the aftermarket setup. Great info, thanks so much! Unfortunately I'm unable to find any vizualogic headrest system that isn't the tablet one. Where do you find your model being offered still?

    Aftermarket rear seat entertainment system

    After some research it seems there aren't a ton of options out there for headrest media players. So I've yet to pull the trigger on anything. Rosen Electronics seems to have the highest level of quality with their AV7950H Headrests series. They appear to do the best at matching your leather...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Cheap and tinny compared to an LR2 or an LR4? With China accounting for such a large chunk of JLR's profit this new lineup of vehicles may be focused on that market. http://blogs.barrons.com/asiastocks/2015/11/03/tata-motors-impressive-new-models-bernstein-raises-to-buy/...

    Let's talk offsets

    I really wish the compos came in more designs (most folks with 18" wheels have the exact same rims!) as I like the look of my black oem 19" rims much more and would be settling on aesthetics for off road functionality. That being said I'll probably get them some day as I subscribe to bertos...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Fun, can't wait to learn more about it as hopefully more info will start becoming readily available. I love my '14 lr4 and its design, but I wouldn't want to stay stuck in the past either. I'm really looking forward to a better infotainment system (CarPlay!). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aftermarket rear seat entertainment system

    So I'm looking for a solution here and I realize there are some threads on this, but they're not really current and I would imagine the products in this area change often. So I deferred the $2.5k RSES as the price was high and I thought we could just use our iPads. As it turns out, the family...

    How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?

    Sure you did. That's where these threads and the minivan paranoia come from. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?

    Yep, exactly the point. My stay at home wife is more concerned about functionality, convenience, and making the transportation experience easier and more enjoyable. The minivan does this in spades. You may not look like it from the outside, but on the inside it will feel like you're...

    How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?

    The odyssey wins here in practically every category (I have both cars). Here is why the odyssey is the ultimate family car imo. - rear seats fold down flat to floor with a pull of a strap, super easy. - middle row seats can be removed, moved front/back, left/right, we keep the middle seat out...

    Water Pump Hose - is it covered under Factory Warranty?

    Took my 1 year old 9k mile LR4 in for its first year service and was told the water pump needs to be replaced! No issue with leaks or overheating (except for a few small puddles right behind the left rear passenger door that I'm not convinced were from my car). First I'm surprised this is still...

    2016 LR4 prices paid for lease

    In Northern California (Bay Area) purchase price is flat msrp for a new order, and up to a 5k premium if buying brand new off the lot. In my search to order my LR4 I ran across no sales or local dealers who would sell below msrp for an order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
