    2015 Issues anyone else?

    Driving home last night it sounded like I was dragging a piece of sheet metal that was clunking / scraping / squealing against the front right underside of the car. Stopped looked under, nothing. Checked tires nothing. Continued driving and noise would diminish & come back, hitting bumps...

    Dealer received a new starter today, it is installed, and I just picked up my lr4. I will keep everyone posted if I get any new faults.

    2015 Issues anyone else?

    PM Sent. I'll hold off opening anything with LRNA for now. I was told this is an emergency request and the starter they want is on a national back order.

    2015 Issues anyone else?

    Brand new car was brought into shop Feb 24th (6 days ago) to address 3 issues. They can't figure out how long it'll take to get parts.

    When should I start escalating to corporate? Should I give the dealer until Wednesday to make this right?

    2015 Issues anyone else?

    My dealer still can not locate a new starter. When I said pull one out of a new car, he said there is no guarantee a new starter out of the inventory will fix it. He said there are 5 LR4's at another dealership with the same issue and this needs to be a new starter unit. He said to wait til...

    2015 Issues anyone else?

    Update from dealer ... Software patch for terrain response, there was a mismatch between the onscreen display and the highlighted button on dash. New suspension air compressor, it was throwing a fault and seemed louder than 'normal'. New starter motor (backordered). He said there was a record...

    2015 side step -- really a side impact safety feature?

    The LR dealer knew I was taking it off an did not prevent me or warn me that this is now a safety feature. My logic is that the car without a sidestep makes it just as safe as a 2014. Maybe the safety text is there because they don't want you to replace it with a dirt cheap side step. I can...

    2015 Issues anyone else?

    I am in a new 2015 HSE --- this is the 5th day I had it. This morning, pushed the start button, one faint click then nothing. Pushed again, nothing, again, again, again, CRAP!!! It was 1degree outside, but it should still work! Waited 10 minutes, car started. Let it idle for ~10mins...

    2015 side step -- really a side impact safety feature?

    It is a square steel bar welded to thick steel flanges and square steel cross beams. I'd guess each side weighs 40lbs+. I removwd the aluminum extrusions ... They were blocks mounted to the frame of the car. I believe they are supposed to transfer any impact to the chassis. This is no...

    2015 side step -- really a side impact safety feature?

    So I got my new 2015 yesterday, the first thing I did was remove the sidestep. The metal bar that supports the steps goes the whole length of the door curtain. The bar flange says 'SAFTEY ITEM DO NOT REMOVE'. When you remove it :) ... behind the flange are several extruded aluminum blocks...

    Ordered HSE .... They Delivered Base

    I picked up my replacement LR4 yesterday. It took ridculously long to get, was supposed to be here in November but dealer said custom orders weren't arriving til Feb. By the time my car was delivered, my 2014 was 9.5 months old with 9,600 miles! Anyway, here is what the dealer ended up...

    Ordered HSE .... They Delivered Base

    They refused to give a loaner for this long so I ended up buying the LR4 off the lot back in May (I was stranded without a car). What I did get from the dealer's manager is an email explaining exactly what my out of pocket total costs will be to swap the vehicles. Essentially they are giving...

    Ordered HSE .... They Delivered Base

    I called the dealership's manager. He told me that the VIN # is not released until the vehicle is built and ready to release. They put the order in on 10/27 on their end and he emailed me the specification sheet showing that Land Rover accepted the order on 11/29. So apparently they are just...

    Ordered HSE .... They Delivered Base

    Updating my thread with latest info, your advice is needed ... Quick recap, I received a BASE 2014 when I ordered an HSE. Dealer said they would reorder me a 2015 and swap out in November when the new 2015 arrives. We agreed on an aggressive discount for the new 2015 and I've been waiting...

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    I completely agree. If these get taken off then will the bottom trim below the door be left with swiss cheese holes?

    Looking black OEM cross bar for '14 LR4

    Get used black lr3 crossbars on eBay. That's what I did. New lr2 don't fit, new lr4 only chromtastic. Only other option is to buy new lr4 bars and paint over chrome.
