K&N Airfilters
You are absolutely right! Magnumforc, Here's my experience: I coupled my LR4 with KNN, magnaflow exhaust, and custom 20" wheels that weight 6 lbs less on each wheel; and I e gotten 20.2 mpg driving from Northern Virginia to Upstate NY. I will post my video on YouTube to show you guys. But... -
Hood Lettering De-Badge
I thought about doing that on my BMW a few years ago, but found out that it actually depreciates the value of the car when you sell it...unless you sell it to a person that likes that. Typically, you would debadge if it's a lower model car, i.e. if you have a BMW 328 but hooked it up and made... -
Lr4 Brakes
Go aftermarket Please read my previous email. I have 46,000 miles and only changed my pads and rotors that first time. After that, I went aftermarket. I have a BMW and I'm into all that aftermarket stuff. But I never looked into LR4s until I was told to change my brakes at 23,000 mi... -
Lr4 Brakes
Swap out brake pads and rotors with aftermarket ceramics pads and Cryo rotors I have a 2011 LR4 HSE and I was shocked when the dealer told me I had to change my pads and rotors. My original pads and rotors lasted me until about 23000 miles. They told me that that was pretty good compared... -
Side protection moldings!!!!
Guys, I had the dealer install it in December. I had the dealer redo it, and here's why. NOTE, during the Summer-time, car doors along with the whole car will expand from the heat. The dealer didn't believe me. I noticed that the front and rear moldings on the door were a little too... -
Off Road Paint Protection
I had my LR4 clear-bra'ed 360 degrees when I first got it. The key is to get it done before your 1st scratch, ding, or chip. I did my front bumper, fogs, headlights, 1/3 of top of the hood, side fenders, all four fender flares/wheel wells, both mirrors, and rear bumper, also to include both... -
LED Signature Lighting
Guys...don't bother. Don't be messing with electronics, unless you're fine with possible voiding your electrical warranty. When I first got my LR4, I had the dealer turn on the DRLs. They have load in the Canadian/European programing. When I got it back, I couldn't shut off my Xenons... -
Changing Brakes (pads or rotors)
Guys...question. How long did your brakes last? I had my 11 LR4 for 14 months now and already need brakes and rotors. The dealership said that was normal. They said that the brakes weren't designed to last very long. I asked why and they don't know. I have 23,000 miles now and Land Rover... -
Accent LED Light Kit
I don't know guys; I'm not sold on these $700 LEDs. I've been installing aftermarket parts in my vehicles for the past 22 yrs now, but these LEDs are not worth it! I rather add that money to nice light-weight forged wheels and save a few MPGs on fuel. It's hard to beat Audi's and Merc's LEDs... -
K&N Airfilters
Exhaust system I agree with you. What goes in must come out. I had full exhaust systems on all my cars. My BMW 335 currently has an exhaust and lighter aftermarket wheels, along with other mods. I'm waiting for Magnaflow to come out with the LR4 sometime in Spring. I've heard and seen the... -
K&N Airfilters
Tim, I've been using k&n filters for over 20 yrs now on all my cars. My 1st car was 11 yrs old...abused it like any teenager would out of a turbo-charged car. I had k&n on that engine foe over 140k miles. No engine no sensor issues. My wife's Ford Focus has k&ns. My current BMW335 also... -
Clear Bra
$850?? Can't be right! Adam, I'm very surprised!! Every dealership around the U.S. lowered their price since 2008. BMW used to charge $1200 just for the bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors. Steve charged me $400 for bumper, (custom) hood, (custom) fenders, and mirrors...$20 for each... -

Bumper protector - Powder coated/Stainless steel rear bar Disco4Me, How's it going? You can order the bar at http://www.carid.com/2009-land-rover-lr3-grill-guards/item-71663.html. This is an universal part. It goes by hitch size, 2" for Land Rovers. If you're going to Tintmax, make... -
Clear Bra
YOU GUYS ARE ALL GETTING RIPPED OFF! $850 - $895? I agree with Disco4Me regarding the letters being precision cut into the clear bra. I installed the Clear Bra in 2008 on my BMW 335i sedan. I had the job done at http://www.tintmax.com in Flushing, NY. I even had Steve (owner) do a custom... -

jwest, Why dual Cold Air Intakes? The LR4 comes with two drop-in air filters, one on each side...just like in the Infinity G37 Sedan/Coupes, BMW 7-series, and some other vehicles. Replacing the stock drop-in filters with either the K&N drop-ins, or even better cold air intakes (cone... -

Negotiation tactics Some negotiation tactics: This is what I've done. I dealt with seven different dealerships via email since I'm deployed. One dealership from England, one in Germany, one from Manhattan NYC, and four from Virgina ranging from 12 - 160 miles from each other. I let all... -
Headlamp LED Rings
HID Fogs? Charlie, How's it going? Did you mean HID lowbeams and HID fog lights? I've seen custom HID fogs on www.carid.com, and you just use the same housing. It comes with 2 (H11) Xenon HID replacement bulbs, 2 digital Balasts, and 2 relay harness. They say that installing the... -
15,000 mile oil change?
Never go until you reach 15,000...that's crazy!! Rob, My BMW also says every 15,000 miles. But even my service advisor tells me that if it was his BMW, he'd change it half point. That's what I've been doing for the past 45,000 miles. Instead of only three oil changes, I've done six... -

2011 Lr4 Hse I got mine $1000 over the invoice price. All options were invoice price as well. I custom ordered a 2011 HSE, with: - 7-Seat Comfort Pkg - Climate Comfort Pkg - Xenon/auto-leveling/auto highbeam, Vision Assist Pkg - HD Pkg - Premium 480-Watt system - Santorini Black... -
Any Aftermarket LED rings out there...like on the BMWs?
tjp74, You're right...it's not worth it. Didn't know there were liabilities. I'm used to BMWs and Acuras, and changing address on the go is very convenient. It beats pulling over on the highway. When I was leaving for my deployment, my wife and I borrowed my friends Tahoe to haul all my... -
Aftermarket Rims - 20 / 22"ers
Rob, I know what you mean. I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan. I volunteered b/c I hate being in debt. My goal is to pay everything off and buy a "real" family car with whatever's left over. Depending how many hours of overtime I receive will determine if I'm going to place my wheel... -
Any Aftermarket LED rings out there...like on the BMWs?
Thanks...I'll make sure I ask. I guess the middle two lights act as the DRLs. Now, the only thing the dealer needs to know how to configure and disable is that Navi safety feature...where you need to stop the vehicle to change or add a navigation address. It sucks when you're on the highway... -
Aftermarket Rims - 20 / 22"ers
Know the Weight, material, and construction type of wheel Rob, For that price, they better be light forged wheels. You need to call and ask how heavy with and without chrome, material, and construction, i.e. low spun, pressed, forged, etc. If they are just alloy wheels, then you're... -
Aftermarket Rims - 20 / 22"ers
Don't get low Quality Wheels for heavy SUVs Hello Tim, I'm in the process of researching wheels for my 2011 LR4. I just about finished my research and narrowed it down to Lexani (LSS-10) Wheels. They are $413-416/wheel...$1664 total 4 wheels. You can find them on http://www.carid.com... -
LR4 Satellite Radio Reception Issues?
I have a 2008 BMW with Sirius Sat Radio. It seems Sat Radio is always spotty, some worse than others. When I first got my bimmer, I noticed that under long bridges, or tunnels, my reception would go in and out. During the Summertime when all the leaves are grown, the leafs make the reception...
