    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.

    Invisible Hood

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

    Invisible Hood

    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?

    Kuat NV Bike Rack (hitch mount) on LR4

    Update: Fortunately my method held the rack without issue. The problem has become hanging it on and taking it off. I end up straining by back every time I have to lift that beast over my head. I've decided to do the Rack Stash. Pictures below. Much easier method!!!!! And yes, I do have...

    J.D. Power Survey - $5 Thank You

    So I did a survey for J.D. Power on my 2013 LR4 and as a thank you I received a letter from them with a $5 bill inside. Anyone else get this? I can't tell if this is real money or not…would hate to be passing a fake bill.

    Audio: Stereo vs. Logic 7

    Any audiophiles in the forum with perspective on Stereo mode versus Logic 7. After playing around with EQ settings, I've come to the conclusion that Stereo sounds better that Logic 7. I'm guessing because the music I'm listening to was recorded for stereo. Thoughts / Opinions?

    HSE vs HSE-Lux Leather

    Without knowing any additional details, sounds like the $1000 option is a no-brainer.

    HSE vs HSE-Lux Leather

    Good point, that definitely holds true for me. It is softer than my 2010 that didn't have that option.

    HSE vs HSE-Lux Leather

    From my perspective it's purely cosmetic. It's one I did, but could live without. It also seems to be a little bit more work to keep clean.

    2014 LR4 Test Drive Review - LR4 1st Drive

    I had the stock 19" on my 2010, then ordered the 20" on my 2013. I will go back to the 19" next time. My decision to go to the 20" was purely cosmetic...I just liked the look of the wheel. The obvious downside is that the lower profile makes it a perfect candidate for curb rash. (kerb rash...

    HSE vs HSE-Lux Leather

    Now you need to evaluate whether or not you want the extended leather...or maybe that is included now with the Lux package.

    Lease or Buy?

    Just to help you out on expectations....you are very unlikely to hear anything from LR about the plans for MY15 by spring or summer. Many of us on the forum waited until late fall of 2013 to find out what they were going to do with the MY14. You'll notice that MY14 LR4 still is not shown on...

    Kuat NV Bike Rack (hitch mount) on LR4

    Here is what I ended up doing. So far it's been about 45 minutes and it's still hanging. :arch: I looked all over Lowe's for something strong, this was about the strongest that I could find. Each bracket is rated at 50lbs each. I went with two, in addition to replacing the included screws...
