2015 LR4 GPS based construction alerts possible?
Well, the dealer did the update for me since it was there anyway so I would rather they ***** something up rather than me, but I also wasn't given any unlock code. I'm sure they had it. In fact if memory serves me correctly the dealer used to have a copy they used on everyone's cars but JLR... -
2015 LR4 GPS based construction alerts possible?
Well, I managed to copy it to an SD card. I'm assuming it will work but I don't know for certain. It's about 29GB of info and I didn't have any thumb drives with that capacity. -

Don't know. I'll see if it can be done. -
2015 LR4 GPS based construction alerts possible?
Ahhhh, got it now. I thought you were implying I could just go to my FM and find traffic alerts. Thanks! -
2015 LR4 GPS based construction alerts possible?
I'm not concerned about traffic alerts. I can get that a million ways including directly on my phone. I'm wondering how the LR system knows of construction alerts. If it is simply an archaic software loaded GPS system, I don't know how that is possible. That's what I'm trying to figure out. -
2015 LR4 GPS based construction alerts possible?
So I recently installed the updated sat nav maps software at the LR dealer via the USB port to the 2020 version since the one in the vehicle was OEM from the date of purchase. Lots of road updates as you can imagine. So if this is just a software update and the maps are (I presume) loaded to a... -

I'm hoping the noise is gone. My rotors are OEM as well so we'll see what happens. -

Final comments...the dealer replaced all the pads for free. They are now using the attached when the OEM pads squeal excessively. They said so far zero complaints. The initial bite is far superior to the stock pads they put on earlier. Haven't had to do any panic stops yet so we'll see how... -

Excellent point. My last svc tech ended up "quitting". I suspect his honesty wasn't completely appreciated. I also caught the svc advisor in a couple lies and my dash cam picked it all up. They know it's on too. It makes quite the chime every time it picks up cabin motion from the off position. -

I'll press him for a better explanation. Most customers buy the bulls**t they are told by the dealers. They must hate guys like us who press them all the time. -

Thank you for the link. Through searching I found Land Rover stamped Ferodo pads so I assumed they must be OEM. Forwarded the pictures of them to my svc advisor and he said they are NOT the ones they use. Kind of confused by that. -

Do you know which Ferodos you have? -

Well that was fast. "Bring the car in Monday and we'll put some Ferodo pads on the front and rears and see if we can't stop that squealing." Man they are all over the place but I like the effort. -

You bring up a valid point in that I'll escalate this. I just now started with the service advisor and I asked him to spell out for me any steps involved in resolving this because this is unacceptable. We'll see what he says. -
LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...
I will be doing the same but it's a 45 mile drive versus literally 2 miles to the dealer so the dealer is so much more convenient. Plus, once I'm at that independent shop I have no way back unless I Uber it and at that cost back and forth doesn't make financial sense on smaller repairs. Come... -
Ugghhh, brake booster vacuum pump...
So I had a small leak that was collecting on the underside (inside) of the skid plate. It would eventually leak out the skid plate through one of the holes so it was difficult to diagnose exactly where it was coming from without removing it. Not having access to a garage lift and not... -

So as a follow up to the whole "Land Rover will replace the pads with same like and kind, then when those squeal again they'll go with Akebono pads..." Well apparently that came to an end. Dealer said JLR is now saying you'll just have to live with the squealing. Assuming the brakes otherwise... -

I'll be at the dealer on Monday but since the brakes are now a year old I'm guessing this product won't have any real effect anymore? -
LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...
Interesting perspective. Although my squealing didn't start until about 6 months in (maybe a little less) I probably had 3K miles on them at the time. That's when they started squealing. Never for the first 6 months and 3K miles. Maybe I should just wait to see if it's just going through a... -

I don't mind the extra brake dust either considering I have gloss black wheels so you can't really see it except when you wash the wheels in the driveway. What a mess! -
LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...
Interesting. I've found those to be temporary solutions once the compound wears off. At some point as the pad wears down you would think the solution would wear off. Maybe it impregnates itself into the pad. Then I would wonder what it would do to the effectiveness of stopping this behemoth... -

Yes the rotors were replaced as well as the ABS sensors and any other related hardware. The calipers were fine.
