    Engine revs high upon start up

    Good stuff. My PCV valve change was over 6 months ago - still starting and running perfectly ever since. No high revs, no smoke. Hopefully the same for you.

    Engine revs high upon start up

    I had the same high revs at start-up - it was definitely not normal…. I have owned that LR4 for ten years, so know what is normal. It started to rev up well over 2500 rpm immediately on startup, just for a couple seconds, then quickly back to normal idle. I tried to ignore it for a while, and...

    Best model years?

    My 2011 LR4 has served me well but is in need of replacing. So what is the best model year to target? My understanding is that the 2013 has ‘less” of a timing chain problem - but still needs it done eventually. Do 2014 onwards have ANY timing chain issues? My shop says every MY has similar...

    Auto high-beam assist - disappeared

    My 2011 HSE Lux was in the shop for some electrical issues that were draining the battery. That work required a “hard reset” of the truck (whatever that means). Since then, my auto high beams do not work. They are enabled on the dashboard screen (vehicle settings), but the green “Auto” high...

    How many miles on your LR4?

    2011 LR4 coming up on 150k miles, still looks and runs great. Question for those who are also up there in miles: do you still do the regular / scheduled maintenance as per Land Rover? There is a big service around 150k miles - but at over $1500 I want to know if I’m the only guy who still...

    MY11 LR4 rear EBC rotor and TRW ceramic pads work

    Excellent - I love posts like this. My rear brakes are finished and I have been toying with the idea of changing them myself.

    Nav highway default screen?

    2011 This has annoyed me for years too. I have a 2011 (with the older style nav) and cannot find this toggle anywhere on my setup screens. Can you describe where to find it? Thanks!

    Parking garage

    Moving to a new office downtown, have to start parking underground. I always panic a bit as I enter a parking garage with the tall LR4, even at access height. What is the minimum garage clearance height you would venture into with the LR4?

    What is ltb00380?

    They did LTB00380 on my truck as well. It is a service bulletin covering squealing brakes, particularly when reversing (which was my main problem). It seems to have worked for me. TECHNICAL BULLETIN NO: LTB00380 (ISSUE 1) 25 MAY 2011 SECTION: 206 'Squeal' Noise from Rear Brakes when...

    Speakers/stereo issue

    My vibration comes from on top of the dash, near the windshield, somewhere near the center. It sounds exactly like the plastic cover on that center speaker is loose and is vibrating against a plastic bottom. But I have tried holding that plastic speaker cover down and it seems very solid...

    Speakers/stereo issue

    I also get the same vibration in cold weather only. Interested if someone (or someone's dealer) finds a fix.

    Possible fix for steering wheel vibration

    94 - All good points, and certainly some dealers might take advantage of some opportunities here. But at least in my case, I know the dealer had to rebalance all 4 tires and do an alignment as part of the service bulletin, before LR-North-America would authorize them to replace the steering...

    Possible fix for steering wheel vibration

    Cypress - (and maybe Vliberman?), I'm very interested in some updates as time goes on. I have been through all the usual tire balancing and tire changing and alignments and several service bulletins, including the steering-rack replacement, same as Cypress. Things improved a lot after the...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System Fault

    I got a slow leak in one of my tires from a puncture, and the message from the sensor is very clear. There are two warnings that happen together: an amber warning light on the dash which looks like a flat tire. And the TFT screen on the dash shows a top-view of the truck, with the bad tire...

    steering wheel shakes when cold

    My LR4 is an early 2011 build, HSE Lux w/ Vision. When they replaced my whole steering system it was done on service bulletin LTB00400, which appeared to cover model years 2010-2011. So maybe 2012s are immune??

    steering wheel shakes when cold

    I have had exactly the same steering wheel shake problem. The dealer blamed it on cold tires and unbalanced tires, but it never went away, even when they switched over to my winter tires on new rims. Recently they did the service bulletin to replace the entire steering rack, including the...

    LR4 Tow Assist - does it exist?

    My truck was the same: got the trailer electrics installed and there was not even a hint of the trailer-assist functionality on the screen. The trailer lights and brake lights worked, including the hazards and the trailer icon light on the dash. Took it back to the dealer and they insisted...

    Remote Start

    I have zero expertise in this, but my first thought was that a remote starter would not work unless you kept the key fob in the truck all night. ... where anyone could drive away with it. I don't think there is anyway to start the truck without the smartkey in there(??)

    Stock Battery and Cold Weather

    I live up in Canada where we have about 4 months solid of below-freezing weather everyday, and now into my second winter with the LR4. I have never experienced any hint of a weak battery, so I suspect this is not a 'cold' problem. As Overblown suggested, you probably have an actual problem...

    iPhone IOS 5 WARNING

    Upgraded iPhone 4 to iOS5 on the weekend, and it works fine in my 2011 LR4 HSE Lux. So not sure if your problem is related to the truck, might be the phone. Having said that, I like the idea of leaving a Nano velcroed to the inside of my center console.

    Shutting engine but leave stereo on

    When I turn off the truck, then turn the radio on (with the radio button only), it works fine but about 10-15 minutes later it automatically turns off. So to keep the radio on (say at the beach like alexcorral) it seems I need the ignition on. Then I manually have to turn off the climate...

    MOST networking on LR4?

    I can confirm that also (2011 LR4 Lux). My infotainment screen locked up one day, and the dealer told me that one of the MOST connectors had come undone.

    Screen lock-up

    I had a problem this week - now fixed - just posting in case someone else gets the same problem and needs help diagnosing it: Turned on the truck one day (2011 LR4 HSE lux) and the LR logo came on the screen as usual - but stayed there. Would not finish booting up. Many restarts, same...

    LR4 Airbag Warning Lamp

    I have never had an airbag warning light... But I am one of the many people who had their whole truck disassembled so the dealer could replace the wiring harness for the 5-camera surround vision system. So if it makes you feel any better, to do that they basically take the whole truck apart...

    Steering Wheel Noise?

    Confirmed - I don't think it is a tire issue. Nokian makes really good tires and the problem was still there. Anyone else experience the same problem we have? Vibrations in the steering wheel each morning (or anytime the truck has been sitting for say ~ 8 hrs) at highway speeds. The...
