2016 low brake fluid warning after long non-use
My LR was state inspected June 2024. At that time I was advised that I might need a new brake line due to observed rust. It’s likely, but I don’t know yet, that the line ruptured although there’s no fluid anywhere. I’m in New England and the road salt is pretty heavy in winter. I’ll try to talk... -

Thanks!it came off easily-I don’t think it was snapped entirely shut. But yikes! The reservoir looks completely empty. -

2016 low brake fluid warning after long non-use
According to the manual I need to remove the engine cover on the driver side. I looked and afraid I’m not agile or strong enough to do that. It’s puzzling because the car spent 3 weeks in the garage and there’s not a drop of anything on the concrete. -

2016 low brake fluid warning after long non-use

No fluid on garage floor under car. 51k miles. I’m 85 and have become ill so won’t be driving and was just going to take car to be detailed... -

Brake cable faster had broken and cable was flapping around, rubbing against the driveshaft. Kinda boring Frank -

New strange noise from transmission (?)
Good advice! It’s sort of a “daily” but since I’m in now my mid 80s daily has become intermittent. Until a few months ago I lived in Vermont and used it mainly to go hunting and shooting. Frank -

New strange noise from transmission (?)
2016 LR4, 52k miles. Last night at about 30-40 mph I thought I heard a motorbike next to me. At 50 mph it became a dull roar. Three passengers identified source as under the back of the console. Pulled out the rear cup holder and they could feel vibration on the floor. Accelerates and shifts... -

Longitudinal split. now he can’t find a real one at his usual sources. He has done quite a few of theses so he’s experienced. Any suggestions where... -

Preventive maintenance advice- 2016 LR4
My 2016 LR4 has 46,000 miles on it. Bought new. I'm 83 and this might well be my last vehicle if it'll make it another few years. Is it worth changing the crossover pipes prophylactically? Water pump? What advice do you guys have for having stuff done before it happens to me on the road? Also... -

Is HD package so useful in snow?
2016 LR4 here in Vermont! Bought new without the HD package. It handles snow like a champ. I go through deep drifts when my road isn't plowed without any problem. I have gotten stuck twice and the HD wouldn't have helped. Both times the truck bottomed out on a ridge of ice and packed snow and no... -

Intermittent burning smell?
When my 2016 LR4 was new it had intermittently sticking front brake pads - the pistons would freeze and the pads and rotors got smelly hot. It was intermittent and sometimes didn't last long but I could smell it especially if the heater was on. It also stank up my garage with a sort of burning... -

Just hit 49,000 miles - extended warranty or roll dice?
i think the CPI terms have changed. For the worse. They now count years from date of original sale, not from date of used vehicle purchase. -

Excessive rolling when turning or at speed
I just had my summer tires (on wheels) put on my 2016 LR4 (33000 miles) and the local indie replaced rear pads and rotors. They were below state inspection limits. Now, however, the car rolls like crazy at highway speeds and when I turn the wheel, for example turning onto the road and... -

I see the pillar but it doesn’t look nearly as wide as the metal square. -

Another Defender hint?
Yeah, but the point was that the sales guy at the Bedford NH JLR said one can order glass instead of the obstruction. That’s a biggie. I would never buy a vehicle with that obstruction built in for no reason. -

Another Defender hint?
Took my LR4 to deaker’s yesterday to catch some electrical gremlins and was talking with one of the sales guys. Apparently (according to him) that “blind spot panel” can be replaced by optional glass. Didn’t know that. He also allowed that discovery sales have been so poor that there’s talk of... -

Manhattan Jaguar Land Rover
Yes, one could say that. However the Yelp service reviews are very scary. I was gonna be in NYC for a couple weeks and thought I might have some service done but was scared off by the Yelp reviews. Wanted sane comments.
