    2014/2015 LR4 Brake pad wear

    My 2013 is at 28,000 miles and light came on. Having OEM rotors and pads put on all 4. Dealer is going to charge me $1,400. Sound reasonable?

    Driver Memory Seat Button Lights Intermittent

    Anyone have issiues with the memory seat / lock / unlock buttons not lighting up? Mine stay on for about 30 seconds and then go dark. If I turn the light dial to the all-off position and then back on, the memory seat buttons will light back up again...but only for another 30 seconds.

    Blown Tire

    To add to my recent woes.... The LR roadside service group sent a nice gentlemen to help my wife put the spare on. Little did he (or I) know that there is an air compressor in front of the rear drivers side tire. Its encasing appears to be part of the frame and also right where he jacked the...

    Blown Tire

    Couldn't agree more. I'm also a BMW enthusiast. I would argue that Germans are exceptional drivers too.

    Blown Tire

    If a German gave you that advice then it's settled for me. :biggrin: New tire will be installed tomorrow morning, and hopefully the new weird sound at startup goes away.

    Blown Tire

    Interestingly enough the guy at Discount Tire thinks I should put the new tires in the back, not in the front. Am I crazy for thinking the newest tires should go up front?

    Blown Tire

    My wife managed to run over this bolt. Rear drivers side was punctured, then the bolt loosened and the tire deflated. She drove about a quarter mile back to our home and in the process managed to destroy the inner sidewall. Needless to say, I will be replacing with a new Pirelli Scorpion as...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    Couldn't agree more. I have the 8 cylinder / 8 speed zf transmission combo on my BMW and love it! Also, I bet that you would find that 1 mpg improvement that the SCV6 offers.

    Tire Recommendation

    Only had them for a year before selling my 2010 and buying a 2013 (had to have the V8 before LR moved to the SCV6). The change from the Contis to the Michelins was noticeable. Highway ride was the most noticeable. Snow / dirt traction wasn't very noticeable to me. I wouldn't hesitate to buy...

    My LR4 Has Been Built - but...

    Just be prepared for some sticker shock when see how much the hitch and harness cost. However, the engineering on the hitch is pretty amazing, pops in and out so easily.

    Whoops! Sorry for the dupe, and the incomplete sentence on my original post.

    In y'all didn't see this. Pretty amazing. http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.html?/video/us/2014/04/11/mxp-vo-land-rover-disappearing-hood.hln&hpt=hp_t2&from_homepage=yes&video_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F

    For those who have the power folding mirrors

    I had to have my 2010 greased twice because of the squeaks. Dealer said it was a product of living in the dust bowl. Whatever they used to lubricate seemed to do the job, never noticed any speed difference during the fold in. If it were me, I'd take it in, especially since you're under warranty.

    Moab

    Thanks for the thoughts. I've decided to defer on the Moab trip. After doing some research I've been told repeatedly that July is not the time to go.

    Moab

    Looking for a recommendation on Moab trails. I will have my bike rack connected via hitch, so not looking for any serious crawling. Just some fun scenic trails. Any thoughts?
