    LR4 HSE LUX or Tahoe LTZ???????

    Are you using the mpg number reported by the car, or actual mpg calculated based on miles driven and number of gallons it used? Because I find the car's reported numbers are about 1.5 to 2 mpg too generous. Here's the numbers from my last fill-up: Miles driven: 204.7 Ave Speed: 31 MPG as...

    Rear bike rack - no hitch

    Bump... I'm also looking for a rear bike rack that doesn't require a hitch. I don't ever plan on towing anything so it seems like a lot of money to get the tow hitch installed just to mount a bike rack.

    2011 LR4 HSE vs LUX package

    If you plan on taking the LR4 off-roading, then also consider the Heavy Duty package, which gives you locking rear differential and a full size spare. At only $750, it's a great deal for 2 very useful off-roading features. I chose the HSE Lux package with Vision Assist and the Heavy Duty...

    Just got one

    Wouldn't a running board kind of act as a slider? I'm confused... maybe I don't understand how sliders work... :confused:

    Just Got an '11 LR4, Who Can Answer The Most Questions??

    Oops -- misread your post. It would be nice to know what all can be programmed for the LR4 though.

    Just Got an '11 LR4, Who Can Answer The Most Questions??

    Do you still have the list? It would be nice to know what can be programmed by the dealer.

    CNET review of the LR4

    Actually I've rather enjoyed the Brian Cooley reviews of cars. He always starts with a comprehensive review of the cabin tech. This is something that most other car reviews gloss over - and something I am interested in. And cabin tech certainly is within the realm of what CNET is about. It...

    CNET review of the LR4

    Well, that's Molly's trademark. Not sure why they didn't have Brian Cooley do the video -- he's their usual car review guy. Molly usually does the tech reviews. It's really too bad that Brian ddn't do this review -- I would be interested to hear his opinion on the LR4.

    What to use to remove a scratch?

    Someone backed into my LR4 this weekend. She left a note saying she didn't think there was any damage, but actually the bumper has some scratches on it. The deepest one is definitely all the way through the paint, but it's pretty small and minor. Since I plan on taking my LR4 4-wheeling once the...

    Should I buy?

    So far I am happy with my 2011 LR4 - had it almost 6 months and about 3k miles. I'm sure most of us who are new to the Land Rover brand were skeptical based on reliability issues we've read about. Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that the LR dealership is walking distance from my work, I may...

    2012 Lr4

    When I was shopping for the LR4 last year, I was able to get info from the dealer on the 2011 by around mid-May. I placed my order mid to late June, and took delivery early October.

    BLACK 2011 land rover LR4 ''METROPOLIS'' limited edition????

    Kind of a "gangsta" look to me. Not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal for some.

    Camera issue

    I had mine "fixed" because the left front camera was getting the blue screen a lot -- probably more than 50% of the time. Since the fix, I've driven the car for 3 days and had the blue screen only once (I try and remember to put it on camera each time I start the car to test). So it's better but...

    iPod Functionality on the Dash

    I started buying all my songs from Amazon for this very reason -- they come in mp3 format that can be played anywhere on anything. I don't know if iTunes has added a way to buy music in a different format -- haven't checked this in a while.

    Please help me validate my Experience with SF Bay Area Dealer

    I wasn't given a tracking number either when I ordered my 2011 LR4 so that's probably the norm.

    Speakers/stereo issue

    Which Nav update bulletin? This one? http://rangerovers.net/forum/download/file.php?id=6060 This is the only other bulletin I'm aware of for the LR4 but it's not NAV related: http://rangerovers.net/forum/download/file.php?id=6059 I read thru both of these technical bulletins and neither...

    Gas mileage: report your real world numbers

    I reset Trip B on every fill up, and also do a manual calculation. I've found that the computer reports around 1.5 mpg higher than my actual calculations. On manual calculations, I get 13-14 mpg on mostly city driving, and about 16 mpg on mixed city/highway.

    latest LR4 comparison

    The last paragraph of the Car and Driver article about the LR4 is spot on: But as the driving wore on, the LR4’s everyday dynamics compared less favorably  with the others’, its V-8 rumble became tedious to some, and several electronic glitches—requiring a shut-down, start-up reboot—diluted...

    Speakers/stereo issue

    No I never cranked up the stereo... not that kind of person. I just leave it on normal listening volume. I'm curious if anyone had this successfully resolved at the dealer.

    I've got gas issues

    I had this problem with my 98 Mercedes ML320. On every fill up, it will go to empty. It will register properly again after about 20 miles of driving and a restart.

    Speakers/stereo issue

    Actually I did. The LCD went off, but after waiting about a minute or two, the information panel on the drivers console never did go off. I don't know if that's because I stayed in the car with the key in it. I was too lazy to get out of the car with my key... so I just started the car back up...

    Speakers/stereo issue

    It happened again tonight on my drive home... major bummer as I had an hour drive with no music. :(

    Speakers/stereo issue

    My stereo did not work this morning... or rather the speakers. No matter which input I selected (CD, radio, aux etc) no sound. If I cranked up the volume, I can hear a hiss. Also tried the bluetooth phone -- no sound from that either. Stopped at the bank, restarted the car, still no sound...
