    First Impressions (Going from MY13 LR4/NAV8 to MY16 LR4/SCV6)

    Last week, I drove to the dealership in our 2013 LR4 LUX HD and a couple of hours later left the dealership in our new 2016 Landmark HD. I was quite skeptical at first (the whole V6 vs V8, the gear selector rotatory knob vs the lever, etc, etc.) but I have been very pleasantly surprised so far...

    Engine Oil Level: "Overfilled" message with a burning smell (right after delivery)

    Service Manager looked at the vehicle yesterday. Basically he checked the oil level the same way we do right in front of me thru the in dash Service Menu. But he did it slightly differently. He told me that there was a way you could the check exact accurate level (and only technicians know...

    Bad vibration

    Just throwing it out there: My 2013 LR4 from day one had vibration coming in at certain speeds, mostly above 50 or so and it would get really worse as you'd go up to freeway speeds, with vibration coming in thru the steering wheel that you could feel in your forearms :) Had the alignment...

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

    :) I do sometimes indeed, I just like things to be up to the tested factory specs as much as possible :)

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

    Hello all, My new LR4 came with 20 inch (20 x 8.5) wheels which is Style 510. I am planning to swap them with the standard 19 inch (20 x 8) wheels/Style 703. My question is, is the wheel width (8.5 vs 8 inches) difference between the two going to make any difference? Does LR put any spacers...

    Swapping out front grille and side vents

    Hello all, I just got my 16 Landmark, and not loving the black grille and side vents. I plan to request the dealership to swap it out with the conventional silver color grille and matching vents. Is the grille easy to swap? Does it require any screws etc or is it just a snap on thing? How...

    2016 LR4 Intelligent stop/start not working

    Hate the feature. Just got my truck and breaking it in properly (I am old school when it comes to that :) And the Handbook as well asks me to take it easy for the first 2000 miles), so I dont think its good to have it on during the break in period as it maybe putting more and unnecessary...

    Engine Oil Level: "Overfilled" message with a burning smell (right after delivery)

    Thanks, umbertop. You are right, thats why I am going in there today.

    Engine Oil Level: "Overfilled" message with a burning smell (right after delivery)

    Thanks guys. Could it be that the car may not have been physically leveled on the ground when I checked the oil level? I remember, two of the three times when the Overfilled indication came on, the car was in a parking structure which I think its a tiny grade/slanted. I already chatted with...

    Engine Oil Level: "Overfilled" message with a burning smell (right after delivery)

    Hello, Posting after a very long time :) So we picked up our new MY16/Landmark last week. Very excited indeed. Drives like a dream, I will post my first impressions (going from MY13 LR4 LUX NAV8 to MY16 SCV6) soon. But here is a thing that we noticed the first night we drove it from the lot...

    2015 LR4 Car and Driver article

    Interesting, never thought of the cold weather situation for diesel as I really thought that it was a thing of the past, I guess not. Thanks for referring to that '13 LR4 LUX, I really would like to purchase a new vehicle for various reasons. Just curious though what they are asking for it...

    2015 LR4 Car and Driver article

    Damn. Damn, damn, damn. :) Just when I think I have finally made up my mind (after going back and forth a million times) for a replacement SCV6 for my NAV8, I read posts likes these I am back to the dilemma :) Congrates on your find and purchase. Question for you though, would you have...

    Build quality of latest Land Rovers

    A couple of weeks ago I was at the dealership for regular maintenance etc. While my LR4 was being serviced I roamed around the floor checking out the cars. I noticed on a brand new LR4 that the rear door (top part) was fitted incorrectly and its bottom right corner/edge didn't line up...

    2015 LR4 Car and Driver article

    Yeap, sad indeed, and definitely end of an era. I have said this before, with LR4 they had a wonderful opportunity to undo the bad image being unreliable that has been associated with Land Rovers. LR4 was becoming a mature product, still looked damn good and didn't look like a ten year old...

    Great going Land Rover North America

    The only vehicle in the entire model line-up that could actually, rightfully benefit from and needs diesel engine the most (as well as not to mention the only model in the line-up whose owners have been begging for the diesel motor for years now), gets neglected again and instead the diesel...

    LR4 vs RRS offroad

    Very interesting read. Dan hit it on the nail in his "When you say "off road", what do you mean?" post. As far as comparing to Land Cruiser or 570, I never owned any of these, but a few months ago I did check them out at local dealerships. Yeah, the cargo space is not the same. There is...

    I really hope they make an LR4 version as well.

    Came across this some time ago: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/land-rover/89407/extreme-off-road-range-rover-svo-is-in-the-works I sincerely hope they look into making an LR4 version as LR4 really is the only truck in the line up worthy of that treatment. I'd be more than interested in...

    Take a wild guess..

    Twenty-four and a half years... I go back and forth between my native language (urdu) and english. Thank God everyone is Ok, especially the kids. Everything else can be repaired or replaced. Did you feel the impact pretty hard inside the cabin? What speed you may have been at at the time of...

    Why no chains on rear wheels?

    Which one of these you guys think should go better with LR4: http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/buyers-guide?c=snow+chains Thanks.

    Why no chains on rear wheels?

    Thanks. But I have stock Contis and dont really need winter tires in my area, so dont really want to spend on them. But when I go to mountain areas for weekend/ski trips etc within a hundred or or miles radius and conditions get bad, I want to be prepared. Last winter I went out there and...

    Why no chains on rear wheels?

    Wow, thats really weird that they actually made you sign something like that.

    Why no chains on rear wheels?

    Has anyone gotten any official word from LR why they recommend chains on the front only. Also has anyone tried Thule snow chains? They have a bunch of models available when I put my 255/55/19 size in their selector.
