    Hey all, looks like my LR4 is running into some of the expected SDV6 oil leak issues. I've had spotting on the driveway, from the passenger side of the skid plate. Took it to the dealer and they said the vacuum pump is leaking and upon further inspection the upper timing cover is leaking as...

    Preventative maintenance recommendation for a 9 year old LR4 w/52k miles

    Hey all, Generally I'm feeling the urge to replace the at risk coolant system items, but I have some thoughts given that my vehicle is almost 10 years old yet has just 52k miles on it. Overall the vehicle is driven less than 6k miles a year, almost exclusively on flat paved roads, and garaged...

    Aftermarket window tint questions

    Aftermarket rear seat entertainment system

    So I'm looking for a solution here and I realize there are some threads on this, but they're not really current and I would imagine the products in this area change often. So I deferred the $2.5k RSES as the price was high and I thought we could just use our iPads. As it turns out, the family...

    2014 LR4: Metal in brake pad causes squeal

    All, I don't think I ever shared this problem, but back in October I noticed my LR4 would make a noise some of the times when driving slowly (8-25 mph) and mostly during or after a left hand turn. The noise was a rotational metal-sounding squeal. This noise would occur after ~20 minutes of...

    Squeaky brake pedal release

    Hi folks, In the last couple months my brake pedal developed a consistent squeak when it is released. About the last inch of travel is when happens. I see a rubber cylinder shaped hood that covers the area where the pedal disappears into the nether underneath the vehicle. Sounds like the...

    OEM 2nd row rubber mats for MY14 LR4

    Hey all, I wasn't sure if I should raise an old thread or what so I figured I'd start a new one. I ordered the protection package #906 (VPLAS0253) which included 1st and 2nd row rubber mats with my MY14 LR4. There is an issue with the 2nd row mat holes (2 holes on the left passenger side...

    Bare minimum recovery gear

    *searched but couldn't find a recent thread on this topic* As my LR4 order (with HD package) is about to go through and I hopefully receive the vehicle in the late summer I've shifted my thoughts to taking the LR4 off-road in my area. I'm in West San Jose so it looks like Hollister is the...

    What kind of price negotiation to use when ordering a 2014 LR4?

    I know some of you have done this, and I am "in the queue" with my local dealer to put in an order for a 2014 (possibly '15) LR4 when allotments are available. I briefly mentioned the negotiation process when paying my deposit and was told "we sell all LR4s for MSRP because it's a high demand...

    Frustration with '14 availability

    Hi folks, I'm frustrated that it is so difficult to purchase a '14 LR4, has it been this way for previous releases as well? I'm in the bay area of California, and there are zero in the area (one in LA and one in Vegas). I can't believe that as soon as I found the right vehicle to purchase (I'd...

    New to LR, want look of LR4 but conflicted about waiting for 2015 Discovery

    Hi folks, I am an absolute LR newbie, please keep that in mind if some of my comments/questions are obvious to the community. Short of it is I've always liked the look of Land Rovers and am at a point where I can afford a new LR4. I began researching the 2014 HSE LR4 a few weeks ago in...
