Is HD package so useful in snow?
I live in a Colorado ski resort and have a 2016 non-HD version. I have the Hakkapeliitta studs and this thing is a tank and way better than my wife's Allroad with Blizzaks. If I were shopping and there were comparable HD/Non-HD versions, I would go for the HD just because, but I would not be... -

Where does a failing front crossover leak?
You did this all in 2 hours? That’s the V8 though, right? The whole supercharger removal makes the V6 take 3x that long? Or more? I’m afraid to open up my LR V6 for a month of Sundays. At that point $2k at my local is starting to feel like a bargain. -

2015 V6 coolant pipes done. Pics of old pipes
That’s a great piece of mind, I’ve known people who lost their (V8) engines to this issue. My 2014 V6 here in Colorado is at about 65,000 miles. My local independent said he “looked” at it and it looks ok for now, but I’m not sure I want to trust it much longer. Do the normally leak a little... -

PCV refresh/replacement
Hi all! I am so glad I did a quick search of this forum before going to find a local mechanic. This was my exact issue, 2014 V6 LR4. Roaring to life on 90% of starts, straight up to 3,000 RPM's. Quite embarrassing, I got a lot of "DUDE! What the hell is wrong with your car?" comments. It took... -

HD vs non-HD package LR4
Ok, I am prepared to be seriously flamed here... I bought a 2014 Lux without the HD 3 years ago and I live in Colorado. I regularly camp in the local mountains and my non HD has gotten me everywhere I needed to be, through ruts, sand, rocky mountain terrain. But I have never had any wheels off... -

Nokian Hakka
A bit late to this party but I bought a 2014 LR4 about 2 1/2 years ago and it came with a set of studded Hakkapeliittas. I have lived in Aspen Colorado for over 20 years and had VW's, Audi's, a Hyundai Santa Fe and always swore by Blizzaks. After that first season on the studs my life was... -

Well crap!
Questions for the smart group: I have a 2014 V6 with 53,000 miles on it. When would you do the crossover pipe replacement? I am sure "RIGHT NOW" is the safe answer but realistically should I base it on mileage, age or a bit of both? The car started it's life in Boston and has been in the... -

Removed running boards
So I finally replaced mine with some cheap knockoffs from Ebay. I have a 2014 LR4 Lux that is the newer version with the LED headlights and a few other telltales. I thought this automatically meant the running boards were the beefier ones we discuss here being side impact protection and needed... -

ECO Light
I must admit, mine does not bother me other than the anxiety of what it's wearing out the fastest. But it's only minor anxiety, Tums can take care of it. I bought my 2014 2 years ago and the ECO never worked, and after reading all the chatter here I was ok with that. I replaced my main battery... -

Removed running boards
My running boards are rusting and I would like to take them off too so I'm interested in this thread. I have a 2014 HSE LUX. Came from the Boston area and I hear there is a lot of salt on the roads in winter that may have started some serious corrosion. I found this site so far. Keeping looking... -

Crossover Pipe - Replace Pre-Emptively?
My friend's 2011 just died with this exact issue I believe, the tube that has the tmp sensor was empty of water slowing the warning lights down even more (i will get more info if it's needed). Basically ruined his engine and left it for scrap. Now for the question, as I am a little scared right... -

Keyfob distance
Both of mine too ryanjl, 1 original and 1 I programmed with the IID Tool I found on Ebay I think. So it must be the power on the car not the key. Are we getting closer, or nowhere? :) -

Keyfob distance
Interesting theory avlash. I took my fob apart again and I was expecting something connecting the key holder to the antenna but it doesn't, it's all kept separate. There is a little coil in there that must be working otherwise it would not unlock at all IMO. No wiser, does anybody else have the... -

Keyfob distance
That sounds exactly like my issue, just a couple of years away from my level (I'm sorry to say). This seems like a very mechanical problem that should be an easy troubleshoot. I was about to ask where the transmitter is but found this, there are a lot... -

Keyfob distance
Anybody having this issue? I have since replaced the batteries in both my Keyfobs and also replaced the battery in the LR4 (which brough tthe ECO back to life for better or worse). Still, unless I put my key fob right up against the handle none of the features I expect work. The button on the... -

Keyfob distance
No, unless I put my pocket against the door handle Seems like the proximity detection is super weak. -

Keyfob distance
Hi, I have a 14 LR4 Lux. My keyfob that should indicate my proximity to the car doesn't seem to have any range. I guess they call it "Passive Entry", but for me it's very active. The fob literally has to touch the door handle before it will be recognized and unlock when I pull on the door... -

Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Ok, now you are just showing off. But if you are in Colorado any time soon and feel like showing me "exactly" how you did all that yourself :-). Is it me or does everything we all own seem to grow massively in scope as soon as you start thinking about a little nice to have upgrade? Sway bar... -

Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Thanks jwest, I just had winter tires put on after the first guy reported the LCA issue. The (different) mechanic did a test ride when I asked him what he thought about the first diagnosis. I didn't understand exactly what he did at the time but apparently he did the local stop and go test and... -

Green/Orange/Factory LCA Bushings from Atlantic British?
Hey I just got a 40k service on my 2014 LR4 and was told my LCA bushing was a little soft on one side and possibly should/could be replaced. Yes, way lower than the 70k most people report, but I did watch him lever the factory ones a bit and saw the movement. I know I could wait but I also think...
