Colored markings on new tires explained
We will end up skiing 10-20 days this year, so I figure that's enough dedicated time on snow and ice to justify full-on ice tires. Plus PDX likes its ice storm events, and I need to be able to get to work. Had the Michelin studless on the last two years and managed well... -
Colored markings on new tires explained
I'm running 19s and love the tires so far. nice and quiet, good bite on gravel and dirt, no hydroplaning. Haven't had them in snow yet, but next week's forecast gives it a chance. I will pull them for dedicated ice/snow studies later in the month regardless, but I highly recommend them. -
Folding mirrors while locking
no need to use to use the tool, the instructions for turning on/off the folding function are in the manual. -
Michilin, Goodyear or Nokian? (19")
I've been really happy with my Continental TerrainContact A/Ts (255/55 19). Good traction, comfortable ride and minimal noise. -
Good independent mechanic in PDX?
Anyone got a suggestion for a good independent shop in Portland? Time to do the front brakes and I don't want to play the waiting game to get an appointment with the dealer. TIA -
Anyone's alarm randomly going off?
we had a similar issue but due to the sensor in the driver's door having cracked and shifted -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
Set of 5 Conti ATs (255/55 19) arrived today, just waiting on the appointment to get them mounted. Nice aggressive looking tread, but the longitudinal channels seem to be the major feature. Should be a ago summer of testing on gravel and dirt roads... -
Ticking sound
timing belt. Spendy repair, but when it needs it, you can't put it off. Was there 6 mos ago at 82k -
Traction/Stability control on snow and ice?
With Michelin studless ice and snows on last winter, I was able to drive pretty much anywhere during 2 multi-day ice storms in Portland. there was definitely the opportunity to slide, but with careful driving and anticipating off-camber roadways my 2012 was very controllable, a whole lot easier... -
Will not start
We had a similar issue about 6 months ago. Wife went to start our 2012 and no turnover. I went out, pushed hard on the brake pedal and it kicked over. Two days later we had to replace a dead battery (so much for my being able to rub it in :)). My guess would be a failing battery -
Flashing Parking Brake light on dash
I'm going to speculate that, unfortunately, it is likely the parking brake actuator. Ours failed over the summer with the brake locked on. Other symptom was a loud squealing from the rear brakes, like the sound of a rock in the caliper but on steroids. Cost a bit under $1k out of warranty... -
Any British Standard fasteners?
I guess nobody spent time working on bicycles in the late 70s, early 80s. Woe to the mechanic who didn't recognize British threads...:). -
fold outside mirrors when locked
Any chance you are also having locking or unlocking issues as well? We had a broken latch plate on the driver door that caused a problem with locking the vehicle. First symptom was the mirrors refusing to fold at locking. -
Rear Camera and Rear/Front Sensor Question
On the beeping while locking issue, you don't happen to keep your phone close to the key do you? I've noticed that if my key is in my pocket with my iPhone (or in very close proximity) my 2012 HSE will beep at me when I try to lock. -

2014 LR4 Facelift
On the plus side, most forced-induction engines push their torque at lower rpms than do normally-aspirated engines so it might not feel much different in real world application. I would much rather Land Rover bit the bullet and federalized the V6 TD engine, sacrificing some total horsepower... -
Restricted Engine Performance
I've had zero issues with cold weather (long week in McCall, ID over the holidays included) but I find the mass air flow fault interesting. Our other car is a 2004 MY Audi A4 that has been having check engine issues due to the MAF sensor (and the valve it turns out) along with, literally, 7... -
Considering used LR4, can dash trim be swapped out?
I'm up in Oregon, but my LR4 came out of SoCal. -
Considering used LR4, can dash trim be swapped out?
I'm afraid of the labor involved, but I would much prefer the walnut to the black in mine (white w/ ebony interior). It seems like a huge number of the vehicles ordered by dealers came with black trim if they had ebony interior. I think the walnut makes for a much warmer feel. -
Electrical Issues
Funny timing on this thread. Last week I was dropping off a friend and we were chatting with one rear door ajar, the wipers running on intermittent and the headlights on. With each sweep of the wipers there was a subtle dimming of the interior lights and the headlights. Reminds me a lot of my... -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
Put in 22.4 gallons last night after driving on "0 miles remaining" for about 8-9 miles. Coolish temperature (low 40s). -
Pleasantly surprised by gas mileage
I've played with E0 and liked the results (~20 on highway according to computer, so probably more like low 19s) but the closest station that offers E0 is nearly 30 miles away so I save it for road trips that direction I guess we'll see what the drought and its effects on corn production do to... -
Pleasantly surprised by gas mileage
880 mile round trip up to the Desolation Sound in BC. Fully loaded with luggage, two ice chests, driver and two passengers, single roof box and three bikes on the back. On a mix of highway (65-80 mph) and hilly island driving, the computer gave an average of 17.8 mpg while hand calculation... -
LR4 Idle Speed?
600 on the nose after it comes off cold idle. usually takes about 1-2 minutes in the current warm weather at about 720-750. In the cooler weather it would take about 3-4 minutes of 1/2 mile or so. -
HSE question...
Just a though, and I may be off base, but have you gone into the settings menu and chosen which items you want to have show up on the "home" screen? I know you can switch items around. Perhaps the previous owner decided on only 2 items on the home page?
