    bragging !

    Hey "hickersb", yes, the brake light switch malfunction causes a number of problems such as warnings about the cruise control not available, emergency brake not available, suspension adjustment not available (truck drops to lowest ride hight), drive modes not available, and perhaps others...

    bragging !

    It's been a long while since I posted anything, so here it goes. Contrary to most postings, I want to brag on my 2016 LR4 HSE Luxe with 63,000 miles. The only problems this vehicle has caused me, is a $30 brake light switch, and some front rotors. That's it. This Land Rover, and my previous 2005...

    Wet cabin air filter

    Have had the same problem. Replaced the cowl but a month later it leaked again. Now I run black electrical tape along the cowl/windshield interface above the air box intake (pass. side) - problem solved! replace tape about every few months or if it starts to curl. Cheap fix!

    Transmission Flush opinions

    Took my 2016 LR4 to the local dealer for a 60K ****** service, wanting a "full service", but was told that it would cost about $ 1800.00 so I opted for just a "drain & refill" for $ 671.00. Holy crap! Did my transfer case, front & rear diff, and power steering fluids as well for a total of...

    What did you do with your Lr4 Today?

    With 2 weeks of below freezing cold temperatures (as far as -15 F) and 9 inches of snow, I decided to take the LR4 for a spin and "plow" some snow to see how it would do. Was worried about the "Beast" not starting at 0 F after sitting a week, outside, but no worries. Started after about 2...

    Maximum elevation

    I've been told you can put the truck in park, raise it to full height, then put your foot on the brake and hit the "raise supension" button for 30 seconds and it'll lift? Haven't tried that yet, but who knows?

    Still apprehensive

    Those are great responses "manoftaste" and "ryanjl" and I appreciate your observations and feel the same. I've had nine Toyota's and eleven different Mercedes' and none have been any more reliable or dependable than my LR's but they haven't produced the almost PTSD that LR has. And, I'm sorry...

    Still apprehensive

    After owning a 90's Discovery which was the biggest POS ever, even after owning a nearly perfect Series II Disco, an LR3, and now a 16 LR4, all of which have been great, I'm still apprehensive and nervous anytime I get in the LR4 to go somewhere thinking and expecting the worst. Am I just...

    Extended Warranty price $4,000. First repair $1795. 3 years to go

    ktm525 it seems like a "fraudulent" claim, but the shop foreman drove my vehicle before doing any "warranty work" and said that my rotors were warped and my lower control arms had a knock even though I hadn't really noticed it myself. But if they said so, fine by me.

    Extended Warranty price $4,000. First repair $1795. 3 years to go

    Just before my LR4 went off factory warranty I went to my dealer and asked the service manager (who I've known for 20 years) for advice on "what's going to go wrong soon"! He told me he would replace my lower control arms and front rotors under factory warranty if I complained about a "problem"...

    Reliability

    Even though we're supposed to be in lock-down at home, I've driven somewhere almost daily but NOT where there are people! I go eagle watching and just driving down "I wonder where that road goes" roads and even though I keep waiting for the LR4 to go to s..t, it's been running flawlessly for the...

    Reliability

    After 4 years and 46,000 miles I'm still extremely happy with the reliability of my 2016 LR4 HSE LUX. I've had to replace the brake switch because it was giving malfunctions, but that's about it. A cheap fix! My previous LR3 and Discovery II were just as reliable and a joy to drive. I know there...

    Hard Choices

    ktm525 you are so right. I've had four LR's since the 90's, currently driving a '16 LR4, and only one was a POS but it made me paranoid. My last three Rovers have been very good, reliable, and dependable but I'm still on "edge" every time I get in the LR4 to go somewhere. Is it gonna screw me...

    Water in Passenger Footwell

    My new windshield cowling also let water to leak into my pass. footwell through the cabin air filter so I took a strip of black electrical tape and ran it along the area above the air intake taping the plastic cowling to the windshield. That "fix" so far has worked for a year without the tape...

    ‘14-16 LR4 Transmission Software Reflash??

    I've been driving Land Rovers since the Disco arrived and have had a Discovery, Discovery II, LR3 and currently drive an LR4 and I've never had a problem with the engines' power or shifting of any of the transmissions. You can always want more but it helps to be satisfied with what you got...

    Is it dangerous to drive with these warnings?

    My 2016 LR4 likes to give me the same warnings on occasion, however when I then stop, turn the car off, and start over and drive about 20 feet, the warnings go away and may stay gone for weeks? No codes are stored. Shop says: we can't fix what's not broke!

    LR4...the best. Still

    Yes! they have screwed it up! BIG! "ryanjl" hit the nail on the head with his description of how all dealerships used to have FUN and what LR ownership used to mean. Even the few "oldtimers" left at my dealership miss the old days and don't mind telling you so, at least in private!

    LR4...the best. Still

    Yes, I have the HD package. It took me months to find a last year build 2016 LR4 with the HD package and low miles somewhat close to my location. Seems they are very rare these days. Nobody seems to care about a full size spare wheel/tire, rear locker, and transfer case. Guess nobody much goes...

    Going Back to Rovers after Toyota

    I once traded a 99 Disco I for a new Toyota 4-runner and 5 months later traded that for a new 2000 Disco II because I missed the LR! The Toyota was perfectly reliable while the Disco I was not BUT the Toyota just didn't do it for me. It had no "soul". And the Disco II turned out to be just as...

    LR4...the best. Still

    Took my 2016 LR4, which I purchased in April this year, to an off-road area for the first time where I used to take the Disco's and LR3 to see how it stacked up. Tried all the Terrain Select modes and had no problems at all with any setting. The area is basically loose rock and boulders plus...

    LR4...the best. Still

    Good to hear that our vehicles (LR4's) can go the distance. Reading some of the posts makes you want to run out and get rid of anything LR asap because you're afraid the thing will "go belly up" at any time. I've had numerous quirks with my LR4 but then I've had Toyota's that messed up quite a...

    LR4...the best. Still

    I thought I would really miss the V8 of my Discovery I & II and LR3 by going to the LR4 V6, but nothing of the sort. I don't tow so maybe that is an issue but the SCV6 is all I would ever need. Surprised me! I also loved the V8 in my MB G500 and would love to have a new one of those but not for...

    Gearbox Fault / HDC / Special Programs Not Available...

    Stupid LR gremlins. My 2016 LR4 likes to throw random codes at times (special programs not available / anti-slip not available / drive slow for safety / brake assist not available) but when I pull over, shut the vehicle off, and start over - all is well for god knows how many trips! Sometimes...

    LR4...the best. Still

    Just spent seven days driving a 2019 Discovery HSE loaner vehicle while my 2016 LR4 HSE Lux was in for some brakes and a few other minor items (rear hatch hard to close; brake fluid change; tire balance / rotation; inspection; car wash; remote battery). Yes I know, seven days for about five...
