Windshield wipers obnoxiously scraping
I've tried experimenting with different brands as well. I'm currently using Bosch blades on the front and a Valeo on the rear glass with good results. I had a ton of chattering with the OEM blades, to the point that my wife would mock me whenever we rode together in rain. -
Lr4 no start after coolant pipes replaced
Glad you got it sorted out. I wonder if the ~$500 GAP tool would have detected the improper connector issue? -

OK so obviously now I need to go out and test this so I can get the cheap thrill, too! This and the 90º hood brace are new to me. -
Hitch receiver place holder
It clearly wasn't creating an airtight fit anyway so you're no worse off without it. Maybe keep an eye on things but that is beefy metal up there. -

But most times you use HDC you are so geeked at how cool it is that you just use the slowest speed setting so you can extend the experience. -
Humming sound after vehicle is turned off
Every time I make a run to the beer/wine store to stock up, I hear that sound. It usually happens as I am taking the last few cases of booze out of the cargo area! -
Hello from Long Island
The good news is that this does appear to be a very comprehensive set of dealer service records from original delivery to the time you purchased it. Some work was declined, I noticed, so either it was deferred maintenance or done elsewhere. The bad news is that it is a lot of info to sift... -

I'm the same way with every new car or complex gadget I get. My wife knows that I'll be out in the garage sitting in the car or in my office hunched over my new toys, learning and memorizing and practicing the use of as many features as my brain can hold. -
Hello from Long Island
Do you have or can you access the service records? That will answer a lot of questions about what to focus on including scheduled maintenance of items that are getting long in the tooth at that mileage. But first, congrats and welcome! -

A surprising number of people don't know that there are pullout cupholders at the rear bottom of the center console to serve the 2nd row passengers. Or that when you fold all seats flat, the cargo cover can be stored/clipped into place in the gap between the 2nd and 3rd rows. -

The small space between the first row's main cup holders is the perfect size for a small can of Red Bull. :D -
Humming sound after vehicle is turned off
Same here. I’ve gotten used to the hums, whirs, and hisses. In fact I think it’s kind of cool, like the Rover is a robot or alive and is adjusting on its own. It used to surprise me when I’d be out in the garage piddling around. Now, I just smile. A totally unscientific and completely unhelpful... -

"Bulb" or "Lamp"? aka Evolution of a thread (humor)
Q: How many Land Rover group members does it take to change a light bulb ? 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed. 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently. 7 to caution about the... -
Went to use hitch...surprise!
Ditto. I’ve installed the AB harness on a 2011 and a 2013 LR4, both of them HSE trim and no special towing electronics installed. Neither required further programming and both worked/work flawlessly. I had the same issue getting the connector into the mounting hole. It’s like a puzzle where you... -
LR4 -> Defender anyone?
Glad he got some public digs in on Tanner Foust, who is supposedly an experienced stunt driver. That explains a lot about his driving style. OK I'm over it. -
LR4 -> Defender anyone?
I remember coming in late to that episode. When I saw the LR4 I recognized it as the ExPortal build. That actually chapped me even more when they laughingly trashed it because I had previously enjoyed the video on the build process. But good point that in addition to demonstrating what idiots... -
LR4 -> Defender anyone?
I stopped watching TopGear (U.S. version) after those morons cavalierly trashed an LR4. But there's no way I'm gonna stop watching Bond flicks. At least they are more stylish about it when they trash great rides. -
Should I get this LR4?
I'm making a lot of assumptions here but would strongly consider a vehicle that had just had all this work done by a competent shop. I didn't see any PPI information about the water pump or cooling system pipes. Make sure someone takes a very close look at the bottom of the water pump for... -

Any Dash Cams you particularly like for being inconspicuous / ease of install?
This is a few years old and for some reason the photos don't seem to be displaying for me, but a good resource for getting power out of the rearview mirror assembly: https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/new-dash-cam.26998/ -
Alternative to Dealer Only Castrol Professional "E" for 2014-16 LR4's
Surprisingly, I get it for "only" $11/quart at my dealer, and that's in the Washington DC market. I gotta admit that after 2+ yrs and 7-8 oil changes with Castrol, I'm thinking of shifting to Mobil 1. -
