How does it work?
my first LR4. I had first service done by nearest dealer. At about 7.5k miles front rotors warped and they fixed under warranty and did an oil change. I recently got a reminder from the dealer who sold me the car that I was due for service. Don't dealers enter this service data into my cars... -

Discovery SVX
I got a slightly different one around 2PM. Basically they wanted to sell a driving experience. I dunno what the Defender is doing in all this. The front end of their SVX looks like a cartoon car. I'm still unclear why the email. Seems they have a "heritage" program and you can drive a... -

New guy in Houston
Congrats! Overpaying a bit doesn't matter if you've avoided the nuisance and down-time of replacing the air suspension and compressor. Frank Question added in edit: are there a lot of flood damaged LRs coming out of Houston?- Frank8

Discovery SVX
Well said. I also don't "get" the design. Driven it a bit - nice with a hint of the same problem I have in most vehicles. I'm very tall, old and creaky and my LR4 fits well. The D5 just doesn't have the interior space as well distributed. As an example, the windscreen slope cuts off the top... -

Thank you for posting those comparison pics. They say it all! The Discovery is very boring to my eyes at least. Frank -

Are existing TPMS sensors compatible with Compomotive wheels?
Mine is vin specific. Maybe your tire shop will do it for you? Frank -

How is your new D5?
Looked at the Discovery last week. I'm tall (6'4") and had to lower seat all the way to get in without hitting head. Sloping windscreen hampers viz. my head is too high for all this streamlining! Drives nicely, tho. Dealer wanted my '16 LR4 with 9k on odometer. No transfer box. He said he...- Frank8

Tire pressure sensor probkem
Hmmm... The set I have on my other rims does. They show pressure for each tire and also factory recommended pressures. I wonder now if there is more than one display option? This is the first LR I've driven in literally 59 yrs so I have no other first-hand experience. But the manual clearly... -

Tire pressure sensor probkem
Yeah, that's what I thought but local tire guy I've been going to for 30 years put the sensors in and they never worked. Dealer claims he "programmed" them to the vehicle. That sounds like b.s. Question is, should I take car back to dealer (big pain) or not Frank -

Tire pressure sensor probkem
A few months ago I bought new rims and sensors. The sensors never worked even tho two of my local shops swore the were the right frequency for my 2016 LR4. Yesterday I took it the dealer for service and asked them to fix the sensor problem. They put OEM sensors in. No trouble light. However I... -

Traded the single speed for an HD pkg
I really appreciate your report, thank you for sharing your experiences with the "single speed" LR4. I too have a2016 LR4 without the transfer case. I fell in love with the Santorini Black and had a brain fart and forgot all about the HD package. I kept kicking myself but also kept hearing... -

Does the navigation suck or is it just me?
Remembered I can use my iPhone as a hotspot. My iPad will use the hotspot instead of wi-fi and google maps work perfectly well. My iPad is a small one (discontinued, I think) that neatly fits over the useless LR screen. Gonna give it a field test Frank -

Does the navigation suck or is it just me?
I'm hoping to be able to connect my iPhone to my iPad via Bluetooth. Then I'd be able to use some decent maps on a relatively large monitor. So far my iPhone won't connect to iPad but I'll try some pro help tomorrow. My sister in law has a new Ford and it interfaces with he r iPhone. It's... -

Does the navigation suck or is it just me?
ive been struggling with the nav system since I got the LR. Yesterday it took me in an endless loop around the block in Boston. Every destination has to be entered by street address. I can't just enter "Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC". Today, driving back from Boston (fortunately I know the... -

To buy an extended warranty on new to me Used LR4
I bought by '16 last November. Out of curiosity I telephoned LR and asked about extended coverage. They didn't want to talk about it but when pressed said the LR did offer extended warranty. They may not like the idea and dealers may get a bigger commission on 3rd party policies. Frank -

After 4 years I found more cup holders
Ahhh! Yep, it's the seat heater switches. Had to get real close (bifocals) to see the icons. Poor little middle seat ain't got no heat Frank -

After 4 years I found more cup holders
Wow! I never noticed them, just looked and found them too. Thanks. But while looking I found two small rocker switches near the bottom. I never ride in rear so don't know what they do and I can't find them in the manual. Any ideas? There's also a pull-out change tray in the front I never knew... -

Shift knob is hot
Thank you. I checked out the sun theory and it doesn't appear to be the sun. It rained all day today and I drove about 50 miles and the knob was warm. The dark plate beneath it was a lot warmer. It's weird and I never noticed it before. Frank -

Shift knob is hot
i noticed for the first time (8K mi on '16 LR4) that the cylindrical shift knob gets very warm when I drive a few hrs. Is this normal? Thank you Frank -

Water leaks after it rains
Very helpful-I had no idea these drains existed. How do you find the sunroof drains and how to clean. Frank
