    Will not start

    Very similar thing happened to me a few months ago with my 13 Lux. Was running weekend chores mid morning, parked for a minute to run into a store, came back out and tried starting, all the dash lights would come on normally but the engine wouldn't start no matter what. Still under warranty...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Thank you LRwhat, Colorover, and Crash, for posting the pictures, very much appreciated. Yes the look is important to me :) I couldn't find the exact circumference and other dimensions on the 255/55/19 like TireRack site does. Want to make sure it does not look small in the wheel well, dont...

    LR4 Low profile crossbars

    Sorry dont mean to threadjack, but Catman, you have the link to how to reduce the full-length roof rails to short roof rails? OEMs? Mine came with the long roof rails installed from the factory and I really dislike the look of it, I thought that the long ones required drilling holes into the...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Thanks everyone once again. Yes, I am increasingly leaning toward the WRG3. Would love to see some pix on the 19 inch wheels if possible, ideally different angles and closeups and wides :) Also, Nokian' site has a dealership locator which I could use to find the nearest one to me (LA area)...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Just read parts of Car Magazine review. Amazes me that these jokers are the same bloggers/reviewers/writers/car critics who were so impressed and amazed and were in awe by the LR3/LR4 design giving it awards and singing praises of it etc etc. And now the same folks are calling it "brick"...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Totally agree with dan, what a complete disconnect between advice coming from the dealership and the owners manual sometimes. They, LR, really need to fix all this. Really, really frustrating if you are trying to get an answer about something from pure engineering/use point of view. Case in...

    "Approved Electrical Circuits" or LR "Approved trailer electrical connections"

    So I recently put the hitch receiver on the truck for bike rack, etc. For a couple of reasons I kinda started to look for a cover or something like that for it for days I don't have the bike rack on. Came across this thing: http://www.pilotautomotive.com/hitch_cover/CR-007A.html Aside from...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Ha @ "...so I can drive around in some slop on these tires again." Yes indeed, driving this heavy truck on slippery slopes with bad tires is not good. I think the stock Goodyears were also pretty bad in snow. I remember very well when I first got my brand new LR3 HSE with 19 inch wheels back...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Great to hear that, Colorover. What size wheels/tires are you running? Also would love some pix if possible. Look is kinda important to me to see how the wheel well fills up/looks overall with this ridiculous minimum of 19 inch rim size on LR4s. The only thing, and I mean the only thing I...

    Home setup/equipment for swapping wheels and undercarriage rinsing, etc.

    Thanks guys. And wow, about seventy pounds for the wheel tire combo :). I was hoping that tire being around 35 LBs, the rim would be lighter and the combo weight would less, etc. For DIYers here, are there any tricks or ways to lift and mount them up on the hub, I guess what I am trying...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Colorover, how is the dry summer performance (comfort, noise) as well as rainy wet pavements?

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Thanks all, this has been very helpful. The tie is in between the Premier and the WRG3 now. After doing some research, WRG3 is indeed looking very good. Also, eagerly waiting to hear some feedback from the early adopters as far as Conti's new all terrain Terrain Contact as well as its...

    LR4 Clicking Noise from Engine

    Fernando, the clicking sound could very easily be heard in the video you posted. I'd immediately have it looked at a dealership or your trusted auto shop for at least diagnoses.

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Also, Mich Premier LTX has the tread depth of only 8/32, is that a typo on tirerack site?

    Terrain Response Modes - Out of Sync?

    Ha, thats just plain retarded! These guys at LR have really been droppin the ball lately. Its gotten worse over the last few years, really. I mean QC is down the drain, and I could reference several things after ten years of ownership of a single model (2005 LR3 to now MY16 LR4) that should...

    Home setup/equipment for swapping wheels and undercarriage rinsing, etc.

    Planning to get Jack/torque wrench etc so I could swap wheels sets myself at home and flush the undercarriage with water to remove that salt/slush combo etc. Any recommendations? I remember making the mistake of not immediately rinsing the undercarriage of my former brand new LR3 right after...

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Thanks all, much appreciated. And Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all here. WRG2 (or is it G3 now?) is indeed very enticing as an all season. Maybe I will have that as an all season and for the light snow days, etc. But I am still very much interested in a dedicated snow tire. I plan...

    For those of us that miss the Pirelli ATR, check out this new tire...

    I myself am keepin a keen eye on this thread and awaiting reviews from brave first on the block owners :) I really hate the OEM POS Contis (only 1450 miles) that came with the truck. I just wish that this new tire had the snow/mountain symbol, but I hear that it doesn't.

    Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas

    Hello all, We are in the SoCal area but plan to do a few trips to mountains this winter, Big Bear, etc. We went to Mountain High/Wrightwood this past weekend and the 19 inch OEM Contis on my brand new truck (with only about 1300 miles on it) weren't exactly confidence inspiring at around...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    haha @ "(Also, a picture of the model wouldn't hurt your post. We can ask...)" Ahem, a bit outside the scope of this forum (and certainly at the possible expense of getting kicked out of here hence losing my ten years old forum membership, all depending on the coolness levels of the...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Went to see it in real life at the LA auto show this past Saturday. Super disappointed for various reasons. I asked one of those beautiful models on the floor that if I could speak to someone from the management team present here etc., and she introduced me to a product specialist along with...

    Question(s) for sticklers like me, starting with: First oil change, when?

    I understand that according to the manual, its like 15k miles or something (actually I have not even RTFM yet), but I am still old school when it comes to breaking in a new car :) I remember doing my first oil change on my 13' LR4 at 1200 miles, but I have read various suggestions like 500 or...

    20 x 8.5" vs 19 x 8" Wheels and wheel track width.

    Thanks, Paul. I am actually just a teeny bit concerned about the above. I am really loving the smooth ride quality of my week old LR4 with 20 inchers. But I am hoping that laws of physics will be true here and going to 19 inch wheels (with factory contis) with more sidewall will actually give...

    Engine cover

    Could be that the cover is designed to channel out the heat or direct it in a certain direction, etc.
