brake job cost?
Yes, $200 included Pads, sensor and labor and he would come to you. If I had to replace the rotors, he would use OEM rotors and simply add the cost of the rotor to the $200. I believe the pads were Powerstop?!?!? No 100% sure.. -

brake job cost?
Recently had my rear brakes replaced. Dealer wanted $330 for rear pads, $570 for pads and rotors. I decided to buy aftermarket (Akebono) and did the install myself. I ended up saving $270. Also found a Independent LR Mechanic who would charge $200 for pads, non OEM. -

Aftermarket Brakes
I was also skeptical but after pulling out the old pads they were definitely done.. Wish I would've taken a picture of how bad the pad was. -

Radio switches when put in reverse!!
No, it does not happen due to the sensors. I stop in the middle of my street to backup into my driveway and the moment I shift, it changes. I think its due to reverse engaging. -

Radio switches when put in reverse!!
I've noticed a weird thing and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same. On occasions, about 25% of the times, when I put the car into reverse, the radio changes from the frequency its in to the next. For example, if i'm on FM1, it will change into AM. From FM2, it will change... -

New Bridgestone Tires
Just wanted to share with everyone my experience thus far on Bridgestone Dueller Alenza Plus 255/55/19. Did a lot of research prior to deciding on these and initially wanted Firestone Destination ST which had great reviews on Tirerack but I couldn't find them. Dealer tried getting me into... -

Aftermarket Brakes
Finally got around to replacing the rear pads and boy am I glad I did. The OEMs that I removed where done at 14k miles. No pad left!! I decided to install the Akebono pads which I picked up for $60. Akebono doesn't make front pads for my LR4 so we'll see what I do when its time to replace... -

Aftermarket Brakes
Thank you for all your replies. I went to the dealer yesterday for an alignment, just had new tires installed, and had them check the rear brakes. They did indeed say they needed to be replaced and also recommended replacing the rotors at this point. Anyone use PowerStop brakes? Met a... -

Aftermarket Brakes
Received an email from Akebono Customer service confirming that front pads are not available for 2012 LR4 but hopefully in the future. Would it be best to choose a pad that is available for both front and rear? If so, what's the best option? Or should I use the Akebono for the rear and then... -

Aftermarket Brakes
Hi all, I'm 5K miles into my 2012 LR4 which I purchased as a CPO back in December and it appears as if my rear brakes need to be replaced. The warning light hasn't come on yet, however, they squeal really bad and have about 14k miles on them since the previous owner had them replaced. I've... -

Short roof rails installation cost
Thanks, PM Sent. I do have the spacers but even then, there was a wiggle. I tightened them as much as possible. What seemed very strange is that installation guides that I have seen as well as videos on Youtube all show the original strip coming out and the rails replace it. However, my... -
