    LRNA comes thru finally but...

    So after months (about a year and a half to be exact) of back and forth, visiting various service depts at different dealerships trying to get all the issues addressed (some got fixed, some didn't), getting a field service engineer involved (who has been extremely helpful), emails/pics...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    So if the general consensus is that a NA engine loses about 3 percent of its power for every 1000 ft of elevation, vs a FI engine that loses only about 1.5 percent (half) for the same 1000 ft, then the SCV6 wins hands down at an elevation of say 7000 ft. Using the above formula the following...

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    and dont forget the closeup shot of one of the front wheels coming to a stop, 23 inch wheel with 0.5 inch of sidewall that is.

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    Great, now you'll have to take them off if you just dont like the looks of the side steps or if you want to go offroading. So in their, currently, most off road/LR heritage worthy vehicle (for NA market), no V8 offering at least as an option, no 18 inch wheel options, gear shifter lever not...

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    bring back the v8 and give us the options to choose the wheels design between trims. Like I really like the 2013 19 inch HSE LUX wheels which for 2014 are available only in HSE trim, I dont care much about the current LUX wheel design, seems like from 2010 model year.

    V8's "D" vs "S" mode

    Very interesting, thanks. Since torque seems to vary across the rpm band, S mode engaging the right gear at the right time would mean picking up the torque left off by the last gear just about the right time for that continuing feeling of thrust. And this coupled with an appropriate and...

    V8's "D" vs "S" mode

    In S mode the V8 feels different and I wonder if in the S mode we are getting more horsepower and/or torque out of the engine. Is it just the matter of transmission shift mapping or there is more to it that involves engine management? Is there such a possibility that in S mode engineers put a...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    Glad to know that there isn't a huge difference. I had my LR3 for six years. One thing that I felt was a huge improvement when I got into my LR4 was the engine performance when the vehicle is loaded with passengers. With five adults, my LR3 felt weaker specially off the start or pulling up...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    Agree with the more room aspect but really, personally I hate that knob. Its not a cadillac. I have driven loaner evoque and Jags with this knob. It just sucks. With the shifter lever, its much easer and quicker to switch to S mode and/or downshift to call in more power. It also feels...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    As far as performance on the highway, I felt the same when I moved from my LR3 to LR4 V8 a year and a half ago. I was expecting my LR4 V8 to be a lot more responsive with more gut at highway passing, but that wasn't the case. Honestly, I feel that when I stepped on it in my LR3 at highway...

    NAV8 vs SCV6 Comparison

    Couldn't agree more. The engine feels a different one when in S mode. When I am late to work in the morning I use S mode with nice engine braking as a plus. One thing I have noticed though is when cruising on the freeway in normal D mode at moderate speeds, if I want to pass a vehicle quickly...

    Short roof rails installation cost

    Dealer has quoted $380 for installation only. Looked for some videos on youtube but had no luck for the short length roof rails, can anyone please post a link to a good video? Thanks.

    Thanks. This is the tire pressure gauge that I have been using btw: http://www.amazon.com/Accutire-MS-5510B-Racing-Tire-Gauge/dp/B000BNS7Y2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0GTXN6H16R626ZF1ZZ31

    Frustration with '14 availability

    I had to do exactly that for my MY13 LUX for the same reasons, plus I wanted beige interior with silver exterior (like the open roomy feeling on long drives that the lighter color gives). I had the same color combo with my 06 LR3 and had no problem getting one and didnt have to special order...

    Short roof rails installation cost

    Before I dare go and ask the dealer, what do you guys it should take in terms of time/cost just for installation. A bitter that even after paying 65+ for an SUV meant for offroading (with HD pkg, etc), I still have to pay for something as basic and vehicle-related as roof rails. Does Subaru...

    What is that thing mounted on the spare wheel?

    Thanks all. This looks a great addition to any offroad (light or heavy stuff) trip, no? Does anyone here have these? Or are there other brands to choose from? I would not mind getting at least a couple of these. It could have totally saved me the embarrassment when, ahem, I attempted to...

    My LR4 Has Been Built - but...

    When I ordered mine, MY13, I ordered vision assist and I think Tow Assist was part of the Vision Assist option at the time. Things/Options packaging may have changed for MY14. Also, I am not sure what "Towing Package" means now. If it means the addition of Trailer Hitch and Towing Electrics...
