    LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...

    Funny you say that because I had to make a bit of an emergency stop a couple months ago and the pads that are on it now that squeal (not the Akebonos yet) had quite a bit of pedal fade and a loss of initial bite compared to the previous stock pads. I was talking to one of the owners at my race...

    F1, no I haven't yet. In fact I'm still on the first set of the replacement pads.

    LR4 squealing brake pads with a recent change from the dealer...

    I guess this is more of an FYI for those that have experienced it and didn't know why so here goes. So about a year ago I had my pads and rotors replaced at the dealer as part of my service and roughly 6 months ago I developed a brake squeal. I was just living with it for a while. Tried a few...

    Suspension Fault - Can I drive???

    This guy does a 1,300 mile road trip with a suspension fault and the RR stuck in the high setting. No issues whatsoever so long as you understand you now have a higher COG than in the normal setting.

    Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...

    Hmmmmm. Could you explain how no or little heat on one side is the result of low freon?

    Chasing an HVAC issue and I need some help here...

    Hi guys, I've searched and read most related articles but my problem has a few additional elements to it so I'm not sure where to start and I'd like to be loaded for bear if I have to go back to the dealer on this one. 2015 LR4. So, here goes: THE PROBLEM The HVAC unit is blowing colder on...

    Well, that sucks. The show must go on...(long story)

    Let's see if I can answer some of this without screwing up the answers too much :) : Helicoil on the stripped bolt. He said it will have to be slightly over-drilled in order to get the broken bolt out, but not by much. I know it can be welded but they're saying they won't do it, not that it...

    Well, that sucks. The show must go on...(long story)

    Correct. The head is more than that but still it's worth it. Used heads are going for $800-$1,000 and a used head is just that...used. Was it warped and shaved down? Was it cracked and repaired? Too many variables and dealers don't care to deal with that. My dealer just won't deal with...

    Well, that sucks. The show must go on...(long story)

    I did have that conversation with them and the dealer won't weld it, let alone its aluminum. You know how dealers are. It's a new part or nothing. The problem is the car is all apart and they would have to put it all together again for me to take it to an independent shop to incur those...

    Well, that sucks. The show must go on...(long story)

    The cracking of the coolant pipes would have caused overheating which in turn might have caused a warped head or even a cracked head. The previous dealer was clearly in the motor, perhaps to fix the oil leak I was experiencing as a result of the cracked head and all they did was throw some RTV...

    I don't disagree, however I personally know my service tech and he would not lie to me. Something happened before my ownership but I guess I'll never know.

    Well, that sucks. The show must go on...(long story)

    So, I take the LR4 (2015 3L SC) into the dealer for replacement of the timing chain and related hardware (pulleys, guides, tensioners, etc...) as the engine is approaching 80K miles and since I bought the vehicle I was getting a touch of rattle on start up and I do believe in preventative...

    Need help identifying a loose plug between the battery box and the passenger side air box...

    I did find the cap for it as well (in one of the pictures) and put it back on and tucked it back where I found it.

    Need help identifying a loose plug between the battery box and the passenger side air box...

    Hi guys, was running a couple aux wires to the main battery box the other day and I found this plug/wire just hanging loosely between the battery box and the air box, passenger side. I did a Google search based on the part # on the plug and the only thing that popped up was an air temp sensor...

    Meet the New Addition to the Family !

    Can you describe what you mean by loud? Does it sound like your chains are rattling? Does it sound like injectors? Does it sound like a diesel at idle? Is it loud at full throttle or at idle? Both? My 2015 is loud also, mostly at idle. The dealer is baffled by it and every time a different...

    Has anyone done a big brake kit for their LR4? Questions below...

    One of my immediate problems is while I have the 20's for my summer tires I have the 19's for winters and the poster said the 19's don't fit over the BBK so I guess that's that.

    Has anyone done a big brake kit for their LR4? Questions below...

    Yes, the brakes are adequate for my everyday driving lifestyle. No I don't tow with the truck. Yes they're inexpensive to maintain in their stock condition. Yes I know it's not a track car as I have three of those already (which makes this LR4 so inexpensive to maintain in relation to those...

    bragging !

    Just turned 70K and it's been great. 2015 LR4 HSE Lux. Just did a 1,000 mile round trip for the Bourbon Trail and I averaged 22 on the highway and 19 combined. 25 bottles of bourbon and luggage for two (ok, maybe three if you ever saw my wife pack) and all the room in the world. It's my...
