    LR5 Release Updates?

    Something like you enter your VIN and you get as set of coordinates and a secret pass code. What I really don't want to see is LR dilute the brand at the risk of heritage. I am all for going after a large section of the population, trying to expand market share, but they shouldn't boff at the...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I agree, I actually hated the LR3 when I first saw it, now I love it. I hated the new Range Rover when I saw it, now I love it. I think it takes time to adjust to the new body styling. Additionally, I think the details will change as the model ages, I can already see it getting some sharper...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Should still be working once engine temp is normal, might be broken. There is a separate thread discussing how most of them are broken, not that we are complaining. Mine stopped working about 3 months ago... probably the only time during LR ownership when I have been pleased something broke!

    Intelligent Start/Stop MIA

    If it is broken that pesters me because now I want to fix it ... I wonder if there is a way to reverse the wiring and have the Amber light display when the system is turned ON, not off... that would solve most of my problems.

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I think it is just the rear spoiler messing with your eyes. IMOP powered lift gate is right up there with eco start stop in terms of utterly annoying. ...... almost as bad as rear windows that roll all the way down.

    Intelligent Start/Stop MIA

    Mine seemed to have stopped as well MY2016, granted we usually keep the heater or AC on which I know tends to keep it from turning off. Again, not complaining because it is actually the worst thing in the world.

    Velar?

    They are a mess as soon as a Range Rover became a fashion statement not a life style statement the brand died. Range Rover, Discovery, Defender, Freelander ... exploration indicated Evoque, Velar ..... something straight from fashion week Can I also point out that we don't have indication...

    LR4 Offroad Performance WITHOUT Heavey Duty Package

    So from the last couple posts, for my use where I am not doing any real rock crawling or teetering HD package may not be an issue, investment in better tires and recovery gear seems like a more plausible and overall more effective solution. thanks for the replies.

    LR4 Offroad Performance WITHOUT Heavey Duty Package

    I got mine (16 non-hd) stuck on a 5% hill grade in wet grass, which resulted in ruts. I had just put the new continental terrain contact AT tires on it. I fiddled for about 2 mins, mud and ruts setting, started in second/third gear, all I did was sling mud. Now, in the real world I would...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Totally agree, I have heard that the command seating is also not as good as in the LR4, more like the RRS ... which sucks.

    New LR4 with HD Package

    I am looking at an Aruba colored vehicle, not a bad color, however would not be my first choice. HD package isn't required for me in the cars current capacity, however I do see me building out the vehicle in 3-5 years to be more trail dedicated. Need to wait and see what the dealer comes back...

    2016 LR Aruba Color Thoughts?

    Does anybody have one in the Aruba color? Looking into one and curious what this community thinks about the color. Seems rare to me, but curious to those who own it what you think. Also, does anybody have any photos they can share? I did find one in the Post your LR tread, however it was nice...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    I am thinking about getting a MY17 ordered, the window issue is a very real issue for me as it drives me crazy as a passenger in the rear. I am trying to visualize it with the correct tires and a low profile roof rack and it is starting to come together. I wonder if it will include a OEM winch...

    What is the best MY for a LR4?

    What does this community think is the best Model Year for the LR4? Specifically, one that will be kitted as an overland vehicle?

    Will the new 2014-2016 Headlights work on a 2010-2013?

    As title says, are the 2014-2016 headlights be a drop in replacement for the 2010-2013 MYs?

    HD Pack - after sale installation?

    With out having driven or sat in one at this point. I would actually be very much ok with this. The only objection I would raise would be given the sophistication of the Disco 5, the Defender is going to lose its ability to be repaired quickly in the field. However .... I don't think JLR is...

    HD Pack - after sale installation?

    Check Mark for answering the question. However for 5-8k, I would probably pick up an LR3 with HD and make it a dedicated off road rig, then keep my current LR4 for lighter trips. Also, I would look into a winch, slow to recover, but I could recover none the less. Cheers for the answer.

    HD Pack - after sale installation?

    Is the transfer case specific to the tranny or could we put the HD transfer case on a non-HD vehicle? Low range is more important to me than rear locker

    HD Pack - after sale installation?

    Wish I could be of help, but I have zero experience with brands other than Maxtrax, they were a gift so I didn't have much of a say in what to spend my money on.. Recovery vehicle hierarchy Needs help -----------------------------------------------No help required Hummer -> Nissan -> Jeep ->...

    HD Pack - after sale installation?

    You can "fake" low range if you use the sport mode + paddle shifters, If you are really worried, look into some recovery gear like max trax. I would let the community back this up, but even with the most capable rig, crap tires are going to lead to a bad time. Invest there, try it out in a...

    HD Pack - after sale installation?

    I agree, even in my LR3 I never needed low range. Do I wish I had it? You bet, is it the end of the world to me no. BUT!!! this is based on my use case. Cheers,

    HD Pack - after sale installation?

    I have a MY16 no HD, I also had a LR3 with no HD. While i am not running supper aggressive trails, tend to avoid the mud pits, and use caution in deep snow i have never once needed it. I am not saying that there is not a time or a place, however for most logging roads, or things that you are...
