    Show off your Discover 4/LR4

    I agree. Stornoway Grey was my second choice of color back when I got my LR4 -- Izmir Blue was my first choice and that's what I got. From the pics, the Orkney Grey looks a little bit blue-ish. Is that accurate? In any case, I really love it. :)

    access height

    I only lower it when I have my elderly parents in the car -- to make it easier for them. I'm only 5 feet tall (short??) and don't have any problems getting in/out at standard height.

    Satellite radio problems, & AM radio problems

    It appears that Pandora does play properly if it starts to play right when the iPod is in between songs. So what I did was create a very short 1 second "song" (using music editing software). I put this song in its own playlist. When I play that song in the playlist, it will play that short song...

    Satellite radio problems, & AM radio problems

    I have the same problem. I "solved" it by creating a very short 1 second track -- it's actually just one second of silence. I put only this track in a playlist called "Pandora". When I want to listen to Pandora, I switch to this playlist. Then when I actually switch to Pandora, it usually would...

    Satellite radio problems, & AM radio problems

    Yes it does, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your data usage is based on data downloaded, unlike voice where it's based on time used. Songs are not all that big -- I suspect each song on Pandora is only about 1 or 2 MB or so (possibly just a bit more if you pick the higher quality...

    New Owner Questions

    You are right -- I just tried it and the digital speed does indeed appear when I change to km. Makes no sense why it would display in one mode and not the other. :stupid:

    New Owner Questions

    I had asked my dealer about this when I first got my LR4 and they said it was not available in the US models. But if anyone figures out how to enable this, please post. I would love to have this feature.

    Pricing

    Actually, when I was shopping last year, Costco did participate -- just not the dealers in my area. They were able to give me a couple of dealers in another state and I did contact them. One never did reply, the other one gave me a decent Costco price. In the end, I decided I wanted to custom...

    2012 model year

    Here's a couple of articles with info about the 2012 LR4 http://wot.motortrend.com/new-eight-speed-auto-for-2012-land-rover-lr4-and-range-rover-sport-raft-of-minor-upgrades-93913.html http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/07/2012-range-rover-sport-lr4-get-eight-speed-automatic-among-othe/ So...

    Show off your Discover 4/LR4

    I just checked the LR website and they have dropped many colors, including Nara Bronze, Rimini Red, Siberian Silver, and others. Also Zermatt Silver is now Indus Silver, and Santorini Black is now Sumatra Black. Weird that they didn't wait until 2012 to make these color changes.

    Will I miss the locking differential?

    Ahhh... yes... the guy there said it can help in some situations, but for most, probably not necessary. Certainly not the trail we were on. The trail they had originally planned was not open yet due to snow, so they picked an alternate trail. This one is rated a 3 or 4 in difficulty (out of 10)...

    Climate Control Question

    I tried it yesterday. When I'm in Auto mode, and I turn the dial all the way up, it exits auto mode on it's own (the Auto light turns off), and the blower does blow really hard. In fact, it seems I could not exit auto mode unless I turned the dial. I tried pushing on the auto button and it just...

    Navigation Volume?

    Thanks, UGAgirl97 -- good to know! I had disabled the navigation voice because she's so loud. I'll have to turn her voice back on and try it out.

    Navigation Volume?

    How are you changing the volume of her voice? I don't have your problem, but instead I find her voice to be too loud compared to the music volume. I would like to be able to turn down her speaking volume relative to the music volume.

    Order new LR4, Wait or Compromise?

    It comes down to time and money. You probably won't be able to negotiate as much $$$ off on a custom order as something off the lot. I was in a similar situation last year. Found one that was pretty close to what I wanted and almost pulled the trigger. But I like to keep my cars forever, so I...

    Will I miss the locking differential?

    I still think $750 for the HD package is a great deal. Remember, you're also getting the full size spare, which you really should have if you go off-roading. I am going on a dealer sponsored off-roading excursion on Sunday. I'll ask their opinion on the rear lockers and report back.

    Order new LR4, Wait or Compromise?

    I think the wait is longer there than it is here. I recall reading about long waits in the UK and Australia when I was about to order mine. I ordered my 2011 LR4 late June of 2010, and took delivery early October 2011. Talk to your dealer.

    Order new LR4, Wait or Compromise?

    I was in the same boat around the same time last year. I wound up ordering exactly what I wanted and it was worth the wait! :)

    Will I miss the locking differential?

    There's others that have said they've done fine without the rear lockers off-road. But I agree with DonMitsu & LR4Austin -- probably best to have it if you plan on going off-road. I special ordered my LR4 with the HD package.

    2012 model year

    If that's the case then the article may be bogus. I wasn't aware of the Sand Launch feature, but I believe all of the other "new" features listed are already on 2011 and/or 2010.

    2012 model year

    This article talks about a new Sand Launch Control feature for 2012: A new Sand Launch Control feature helps keep the wheels from spinning when starting from a dead stop or when increased control is required in low-speed driving.

    How long does it take you to detail your LR4

    I'm at almost 8 months with my LR4 and haven't waxed it yet. I'll try and get my hubby to do it for me. Is it necessary to wax it more than once a year if it's usually parked inside a garage? I have it in a garage at home and at work, so it's not parked outside much.

    New To Land Rover, HSE or HSE LUX?

    I am very old school... would never lease a car and in fact I've never even financed a car. My dad had bought me a truck when I was in college. Drove that for a few years and then bought my first car -- 1998 Mercedes ML320 -- with cash. Drove that until I bought my LR4 last October. But back...

    Lessons learned at the car wash

    The car wash I go to is not touchless, but it's not the spinning brushes either. It's got these long strips of cleaning fabric that does touch the car. Then they towel dry the car. I'm not one that pampers my car. In fact, in the 13 years that I owned my 1998 Mercedes ML320, I've never washed or...
