    Window Tinting

    Hi All, Relevant topic for me since I am looking to tint the fronts and darken the rears here soon. Two car seats in the back and with the seats in the LR4, the kiddos sit pretty high up. So even with those child sun shades, when the sun is at the right level, they are just getting hammered...

    Previous LR3 owners - any regrets getting an LR4?

    No regrets at all. I had a love/hate relationship with my LR3. Loved it when I had it, but hated when it was in the shop. And it was in the shop A LOT. Specifically for suspension related issues. I traded it in December because I was coming up on the end of my extended warranty. And considering...

    Wierd question for those with folding mirrors

    Hi All, Very odd question. I have the auto folding mirrors that fold in/out with lock/unlock. We got snow and ice here overnight. So of course when I open the car this morning, they don't budge. So once i clear them off and the car is all warmed up, I hop out and lock. Nothing of course since...

    Cold weather start

    Hey All, Quick question and seeking opinions. In cold weather, what is the rule of thumb? I read some places that allowing warm up isn't necessary, others say the opposite. Didn't see anything mentioned in the manual. What rule of thumb does everyone here typically subscribe to? It would take...

    Do all the 2K12 LR4s have nav in motion?

    Thanks for the responses. So I guess it sounds like sometime in the 2k11 model year they must have made the change? I was glad to see this one on mine, since it was one of the things that bothered me most with my LR3.

    Do all the 2K12 LR4s have nav in motion?

    The typical nav issue where the ability to enter any destination or POIs is disabled while in motion. In my 2K12, it now works. Just curious if this is now with all 2K12s or if mine somehow got enabled.

    Do all the 2K12 LR4s have nav in motion?

    Hi All, First time posting on this part of the forum. Just upgraded from my LR3 to a 2k12 LR4. I have been reading the LR4 forum for a while though and it would seem that much like the LR3, the 2k10 and 2k11 LR4s had nav disabled while in motion. Much to my surprise my 2k12 has full nav...

    Things I have done with my Faultmate MSV-2!!!

    Hi All, Not sure if anyone will know the answer to this one. But figured I would ask. Can the Faultmate adjust the setting that allows for input into the video port to play while in motion on the front nav screen? Would this maybe be covered by the same option that allows control of nav in...

    Blinking Snowflake??

    Same here. I have never gotten accustomed to the ding. Every time I hear it, my heart drops into my stomach thinking I am going to see another HDC fault or something similar. I'm always relieved to look down and see it's just the 39 degrees indication.

    Question: Installing a double din head unit

    I considered doing something similar recently, but decided against it. If I am not mistaken, don't you lose some other functionality if you remove the head unit? For example the ability to change your info display settings, etc? Maybe not a big deal for some, but just thought I would throw it...

    LR3 and it's plastic

    I have been eying that stuff on Amazon for a while as I really need to treat my exteriors. I think I read somewhere though that it can bleed on first rain though and make a mess? Or do I have it confused with something else? Did you experience anything like that, or is there something you do to...

    Nav Disc Update

    RChase, did the mailer mention if it was the 2011-2012 release? The Navteq purchase page still lists 2009-2010, but I have read on some forums where the new one is expected this month.

    Upper Glove Box question

    Interesting idea. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks.

    Upper Glove Box question

    Hi All, Very odd question I am sure. My upper glove box seems to be loose or something where it clips shut. It makes the most annoying constant rattling sound that drives me bonkers. Anyone else had this issue? Is there like a quick temp fix I can put into place other than duck tape? Ha! Or...

    Body Shop DC/MD/VA

    Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried to search for it, but I guess I didin't get the right combo of search words. Rover took a pretty good denting and scratching thanks to some inconsiderate fool on a parking lot. Took it to the dealer and they said it was too severe for them...

    Well THAT didn't take long

    So very true. At least in my experience as well. I see a lot of folks walk into the service area while I am there dressed to the nines and acting like total a-holes to the good folks behind the service desk. And you can just tell by the looks they get that no one is going the extra mile for...

    Infact car seats - does anyone have a stright answer ?

    Might as well add my two cents since I recently dealt with this as well. Frank is absolutely right about rear-facing toddler seats. At least with my brand, the only way it would work was in the center unless I expected my passengers to sit with their legs folded meditation style in the front...

    Can you add front sensors?

    Hey everyone. Quick question. I don't have the HSE, so I only have the rear parking sensors. The wife drives the rover on occasion and has exactly zero depth perception and is constantly bumping into things when parking. Mostly public garage walls. Ughh. So I was wondering if anyone knows, if I...

    Recurring Fault Problem

    Yup, same exact thing happened to me over the winter. Same symptoms to a T. Was the break switch.

    Should I contact Land Rover

    Hi All, So sorry. I must have forgot to set email notification and didn't realize it. So when I didn't get notification I figured there were no responses. My apologies. Thanks so much for all the input. So I'll start by giving some info on what the dealer diagnosed as the issues. The dealer...

    Should I contact Land Rover

    Hi All, Have a question to pose and would welcome some feedback. I will start with the disclaimer that I am by no means a guru when it comes to the mechanical aspects of my Rover or any vehicle for that manner. So anyway, I bought my '06 LR3 from a Rover dealership about 14 months ago and it...

    Multiple Systems Faults! Help!

    Man, lucky you. Every time I take mine to the dealer, all I get are freakin' Hyundais to drive around.

    1791 Navigation Hack and NEW 2008 Map Disc

    Hi All. So it looks like the last version that can be hacked for the 1791 is the 2007/2008 update, part # 6H42-10E898-BB. Does anyone have any idea where one can get their hands on this version? Googling that part number and searching on eBay comes back with no real legit options. Any one know...

    Wipers making crack-back sound

    Thanks bscmich. I suspect this may have been what the dealer referenced the last time I complained about this. Every time I take it to the dealer, I mention this and also made a trip specifically for it. And each time they would "do something", it would stop for like a couple days and then start...
