    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    mg, since you have both models, I was curious if you have noticed any difference between the two in the following areas: Steering wheel weight (if there is a difference, whose is heavier), Suspension tuning, if you feel any difference between the two. Would love to hear from anybody else here...

    Heavy duty package - how to tell?

    David, looking I noticed that each differential lock icon has three stages/sections/degrees to indicate the intensity or percentage of current lock. Are the differentials in LR4 not infinitely variable? Or there really are only three level of differential locking.

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    Last month JLR' announced the creation of a Special Vehicle Operations division: http://www.interactivelandrover.com/lr/DisplayRelease.php?itemID=742 Would new buyers here be willing to drop a little extra cash for an SCV8 in their next LR4? Perhaps a petition to LRNA signed by all who are...

    What makes you loyal?

    :) I know the feeling. LR4 feels like a rolls royce after driving the LR2 loaner.

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    yeah too bad. Not so great 0-60 times though for the diesel. But I wonder how it would feel during every day driving around town or on the freeway. Also, the top speed is limited to 112 mph i think. Not that I recommend it, but with such a smooth ride, I dont feel or notice much...

    I am in. Would the dyno be awd compatible? Any other caveats?

    Showoff Your LR4

    Thanks. And when you say that you cannot go to full lock, does that mean that its the tires that hit the body and prevent from going full lock? Basically I am trying to find out if there is any rubbing/touching of the tires and body at any time like suspension fully lowered or raised and the...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    And thats what I had noticed with this engine (V8), the smooth torque, when I had five adults (one of them a big guy) in my car the first time including myself as the driver. Off the line and midrange, the engine pulled like there was no load at all and I was pleasantly surprised. Not that I...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Great, thanks. With spacers, do you lose/alter anything in terms of driving dynamics or aerodynamics as 1.25 inches on each side seems fair amount. Thanks.

    What makes you loyal?

    I can see that but also things have changed now since Tata owns the brand along with jaguar. So there is more room than before for funding and for sharing platforms/engines and such. As far as a utilitarian and iconic model, my only concern is that it may not be as luxurious and nicely evolved...

    Showoff Your LR4

    Thanks. Forgive me for being total ignorant but what are spacers and where do they go? For smaller than 19 inch wheels, I thought the hinderance were the brake components (rotors/calipers) being in the way.

    Showoff Your LR4

    Can you fit LR3 wheels (18 inch) on LR4 without any modification? If true, I never knew that.

    What makes you loyal?

    Also wanted to add that LR needs to give up worrying about what the press has to say about their designs, seriously. The press has absolutely no idea what automotive design is. They are always in need of writing something, anything, about a new model. They have to, its their job and thats...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    Also, since the SCV6 is from jag, I wonder if its been beefed up in terms of seals, water-proofing, belts, steep angles, etc, just the way the V8 was prepped for LR duty when it was originally designed. Unless I have missed it, I have not read anything in that regard in LR press etc the way I...

    What makes you loyal?

    I think you have summed it up for me. For the longest time I wanted one. I picked up brochures (1998 Discovery, 2000 Range Rover, etc), read reviews, stared at their pictures, researched their 4wd systems, read that entire book issued by LR which talked about and compared various 4wd systems...

    Ideas on stopping the glare from the MY14 shift knob plate?

    I recently had a chat about the shifter knob (and V6) etc with the local dealership (socal). They told me that have been getting complaints about the decision to get rid of the shifter. They also told me that LR is trying the shifter knob out here and that its temporary market test and that...

    Official 2014 Changes to LR4

    Am in a similar boat today in terms of choosing between '14 LR4 and LX570 etc. Have a choice of letting LRNA declare my LR4 (MY13 lux FL) as lemon and get a replacement MY14 lux (V6), or get the refund and get something else. I have been trying to convince myself of SCV6 (even if I get over...

    LRNA comes thru finally but...

    Exactly. Back in April, I had an out of town business trip planned. A four hour drive each way, the stay was a week long, so I decided to drive instead of flying for various reasons. The car was in the shop for some of the aforementioned issues, I was supposed to pick it up on saturday and...

    LRNA comes thru finally but...

    Thank you all for your advice. Surfrider, there is too much to list (i think i posted in another thread what I noticed was wrong at the time), but in short what I can remember now: At the time of delivery, noticed that bumper wasn't fitted correctly (sticking out and not flushed on passenger...
