    2015 lr4 nas

    Hate the new door panel design. It makes the panel skinnier near the elbow area where I could rest my forearm, etc. Plus I like the idea of having a thicker panel, just gives you a beefier and more secured feeling that there is quite a bit of cushion between you and whats outside your car. I...

    Future LR Models in US

    Hi Triumph, I am very much interested in being part of the focus group. Do you remember the name of the market research firm and/or have their contact info by any chance? You could pm me if you'd like. Thanks.

    NAS Recall P39 - 2010-2013 Emissions / Engine Malfunction Lamp illuminated

    Yeap, it says "P039 ENGINE MIL ILLUMINATED". Service advisor brought it up to my attention as soon as he put my information on his computer. But I never got anything in the mail informing me about the recall, I only found out when I visited the dealership.

    Explorer Sport has arrived

    http://www.interactivelandrover.com/discovery_sport/DisplayRelease.php?itemID=758 One of the sales head at the dealership mentioned to me yesterday that designers from Ford migrated with LR as the TATA acquisition took place. Maybe we are seeing the fruit of that in the form of this...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    I feel the same in my current NAV8 sometimes. That was one of the first things I had noticed coming off of LR3. If I have to make a sharp left/right turn as I pull into a parking spot and have to reverse the vehicle once to avoid hitting the cars parked alongside, sometimes if I am not...

    $340 for an oil change!!!

    Quoted today here in Socal. Is it just me or this is just plain ridiculous! Never I have been quoted this much for an oil change. Last oil change was $232 and change, dealer says that was a mistake on their part. I remember oil change was anywhere from $80 to $140 for my LR3, then LR4 was...

    NAS Recall P39 - 2010-2013 Emissions / Engine Malfunction Lamp illuminated

    Brought the vehicle in today for oil change (quoted price was crazy, I declined) and had a bunch of recalls done (including this one I think) but now Certificate for me here in socal. Should I ask the them?

    How can you tell if an LR4 has the Vision Assist Package?

    Inside the car, you can look for the graphic "Camera" button on the user interface on the main Nav Screen. It should appear when you hit the physical "Home" Button next to the volume knob. If the "Cameras" soft button does not appear than look for it in the setup menus.

    A 2010 Land Rover LR4 engine question. HELP!!

    Glad to know its running fine now. I am not sure if I can really answer your question about the engine being in danger or any damage, etc., others here maybe are in a better position to assess the situation. In my humble view, it could be something very simple (engine trying to get past...

    A 2010 Land Rover LR4 engine question. HELP!!

    Your LR4 is an overly electronic vehicle. I am sure your friend is trying to help but I'd not attempt to start the engine anymore, instead I would bring the vehicle to the nearest Land Rover dealer/Service as soon as possible. Only they can properly look into and read the diagnostic codes and...

    How can you tell if an LR4 has the Vision Assist Package?

    Also look for cameras on the front bumper (on the black area on either side of the license plate). They look something like the park sensors but slightly bigger, not flushed against the bumper, and with a tiny lens in the middle of each circular piece.

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    So it seems like the SCV6 also have the same engine protection from water, etc as the NAV8 according to this press release (unless V8 has more protective elements). http://newsroom.jaguarlandrover.com/..._lr4/?&locus=3 Question for people who have owned or have driven both SCV6 and NAV8 a fare...

    New member - considering LR4 HSE

    Plus they stick out way too much on the sides. Try looking at them when you are standing right behind the truck. I have seen them a bunch of times on LR4s on the road and parked at the dealerships. I tend to park really close to the curb (only five six inches or less away) and I feel that I...

    Car Price Creep - Leasing

    I was just thinking about this a few weeks ago. I know you are comparing just the last few years, I was thinking about like twenty years ago or so, when a corolla or nissan sentra would begin around 8k or 9k and top out at 12k or so. An Accord would be around 15k (I remember watching tv ads...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    makes sense. With my LR3 on long open area freeway drives, even with zero grade/incline, and with cruise control set between 70 to 90, etc, I would sometimes find the transmission downshifting automatically to fifth gear and remain in fifth to maintain the set speed. I would throw it in manual...

    2014 LR4: Biggest POS Ever Owned

    imagine yourself being on an off road trail, or way out there, "farther" (as the LR has called it in some advertisements) away from the city just to enjoy the night stars, and this happens. Man, these things are way overly electronic to a point where things are getting unpredictable. When I...

    2014 LR4: Biggest POS Ever Owned

    But can the car shut down in the middle of motion with some speed (whatever it is) and if that happens does the knob goes into park? If it can thats pretty scary thought.

    What makes you loyal?

    Your vehicle is probably an oddity with that situation and/or a lemon. I could understand your frustration there as it is indeed very dangerous what you have experienced. But that should not be enough to write off an entire design. Unfortunately, because of the issues you are having with your...

    2014 LR4: Biggest POS Ever Owned

    Sorry, missed the year there on the subject :) So the question is for MY13 and before, even though they have a physical gear shifter lever/stick, is it just a physical interface for the driver and not really a mechanical control of the transmission? Underneath the console is it still...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    And for this very reason I am interested in finding out (by looking at the curves) what really happens before 3500 rpm in both SCV6 and NAV8. If before 3500 rpm, with SCV6, I get torque numbers higher than LR3 and a little lower than NAV8 then I'll be cool with it I guess. SCV6 has a good 0-60...

    2014 LR4: Biggest POS Ever Owned

    Question is, how can LR4 throw itself into transmission' "Park" mode? Thats extremely dangerous! Did the car switch to "PARK" transmission mode did the the Parking Brakes come on? If it is the transmission' Park mode, is it even possible? What year is it? I could see that potentially...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    Yes, but here' my question, don't I need more torque at low end rather than at 3500 rpm (and above) where my car does not really live most of the time (and/or has already gained enough momentum to not really be in need of as much torque but rather horsepower)? And if I am at 3500 rpm, its...
