Power steering help needed
I have the same exact symptoms (albeit, in an 2011 LR4) 190K miles, steering "sticking" at times, and would like to lubricate the U-joint, as suggested in this thread. Question: how do I access it, to spray? (from the top of the steering column, in the interior of the car, or from the bottom of... -

Valve cover gasket replacement ($3,200)
2011 LR4 HSE, with 195K miles, but in great shape overall. We absolutely love the truck. We have leaking around the valve cover gaskets. When we turn off the engine, white smoke can be seen (& smelled), as the oil drips on the hot exhaust, based on my research? Got a quote from a local indy... -

150K Mile Service
Taking my LR4 in for routine service at 150,000 miles. Great vehicle so far! (bought it CPO at 50K miles) My indy shop is recommending these items, but I don't see them listed in my LR user's manual. Would you recommend any of these, or should I pass? Fuel injection service ($129) Power... -

"TP" message on radio display - Presets wonky
I looked through the owner's manual to no avail. Has anybody seen this little amber "TP" above the "FM" on the radio display? (see attached pic). This comes on randomly, and the preset labels go away. No way to change any presets in 'TP' mode. 2011 LR4 HSE Thanks! v -

Language settings/clock reset itself overnight
Went to Sears to get a new battery, and they noticed that one of my terminals (the one closest to the firewall) was loose, and won't tighten it. Apparently it's a "smart terminal" that only the dealer can replace? Does that sound right? Will take another look tomorrow. v -

Language settings/clock reset itself overnight
Has anybody gone to start their LR4 to find the settings/clock reset overnight? I suspect a battery issue, but the vehicle cranked and started okay (a bit slow, as it's cold in PA). I'm going to replace the battery today just in case (it's a 4-yr old DieHard AGM), but want to make sure I'm not... -

Front wheel hop/shudder
A couple of days ago, I was getting ready to back in to a parking spot: put it in reverse, cranked the wheel all the way to the right, and gave it gas. As soon as the truck started moving back, the right front wheel felt like it was hopping/shuddering for a second or two. Is this just your... -

LR4 wiper noise
I've searched the forum, but didn't find anything (just a related thread on the LR3 board, with no resolution). The driver side windshield wiper on my 2011 LR4 makes this "snap/crack" sound when it finishes the wipe pattern, just as it reverses direction. At first, I thought the blade was... -

Mistery [non]start issue ...
OP here ... The issue happened once, and has not reocurred, now that the temperatures have warmed up a bit in the North East (maybe it *was* cold-related). Appreciate everybody's help, and will try all these suggestions if it happens again. vindio -

Mistery [non]start issue ...
So, my wife claims that she went to start her 2011 LR4, but when she hit the button, nothing happened (4 times). Dash lights came on okay, and no faults were indicated. She called AAA, and when they got there, the guy gets in the car, and the car starts right up (with his magic touch). I... -

Left wiper not sweeping all the way
In case this happens to anybody else, the problem ended up being a broken wiper linkeage. Repair was covered by LR dealer under CPO. Cheers, v -

Left wiper not sweeping all the way
Okay, here's a strange one: I just noticed that my left wiper blade (driver side) isn't sweeping all the way to the left A-pillar (stops about 6 inches shy of the pillar). I could adjust the nut that holds the wiper arm to the motor, but then the wiper will then sit up too high when resting at... -

Second hand LR4
Great find Umberto ... the doc states that "serviceable bushings" are NOT covered. The LR4 control arm bushings are, in fact, serviceable, correct? v
