    New battery: Sears?

    So it looks like the battery on my 2011 LR4 has gone kaput. My wife tried starting it this morning and got a screen that says "Low battery, Start Engine" but the engine wouldn't turn over. I've noticed the car being a bit more sluggish in turning over the past few months. So I am now looking at...

    Got rear ended..

    The car is a rock. Same thing happened to me. Got rear ended by a compact SUV in my 2011 LR4. The offending car ended up looking totaled. Mine, slightly beat up. Despite the look, was expensive to fix. almost $10k of cosmetic damage.

    I own a 2011 LR4 HSE in the NY/Nj area. I love it. Have ~31k miles of mostly highway driving and it's been problem free.

    LR4 2011 reliability

    I bot my 2011 hse with around 5k miles on it. I have 29k now. The car has been rock solid and a joy. I use it to commute in the winter time and it is extremely comfortable. I've had 2 scheduled services and all went well. I'm due for another service soon with a potential brake job. I'm a lil...

    Bluetooth streaming on 2011 LR4?

    Has anyone figured out a way to use the bluetooth connection to stream audio from your phone/mobile device? My car satellite radio subscription ended and i don't want to pay for another year. I can already listen to Sirius on my phone and would rather stream that to the car. I know i can use the...

    heated steering wheel - is it supposed to be lukewarm?

    Mine varies. Sometimes hot to the point i turn it off, other times just right. It is warmest at the bottom of the steering wheel. From 4pm to 8pm locations on the wheel. I find it is consistently warmer than our 2011 Audi A6 steering wheel. BTW, i have a 2011 LR4 HSE

    Light in the glove box?

    I bought a lightly used 2011 LR4 from my local LR dealer. I noticed that there is no light in the glove box. Meaning when you open it, there is nothing illuminating the contents. Is this right?

    Aftermarket hid/xenon headlights for LR4

    Hard to say which brand is better. I've had the phillips on now for a few weeks and they look great. As for longevity, that's another issue...

    Low beam replacement 2011 LR4

    i initially bought H7, but found that it could only fit the high beams. I then purchased the H11 and it fit the driving lights perfectly. the whole install was 10 minutes tops.
