Saying goodbye to an albatross
All of our posts here are anecdotal, but I have had my Discovery for 4.5 years now and really the only faults I have had were the known water pump issue, 2 batteries, LCAs, and routine maintenance. Batteries and LCAs are wear and tear items. Water pump has a TSB and was replaced under warranty...- Surfrider77

Fuel display/consumption/warning low fuel light
4+ years of ownership, my truck has likely "learned" everything it needs to know about my driving habits. That said, mine is also extremely conservative. I have run it down to 0 on multiple occasions and still came out unscathed.- Surfrider77

Battery Life
I doubt any of these LR4s are seeing anywhere near 5 year battery life. Most on this forum are reporting 2-3 years tops. My truck is a 2013 and I have had 2 replacement batteries already (OEM replaced under warranty from LR).- Surfrider77

Possible coolant leak?
Top it off and keep an eye on it? There is a TSB for the water pump leak (and crossover pipe). It's quite a common issue. My 2013 was fixed for this same issue this year. No faults other than a low coolant warning light. It had to warm up and then you could faintly smell coolant. It's a slow...- Surfrider77

Showoff Your LR4
Nice image I found buried in my photo folder. Cleaned it up a bit with Lightroom. This is taken here in Qatar while dune bashing at a place called the inland sea, which is really just a big inlet of water off the Gulf. Across the water there is Saudi Arabia.- Surfrider77

steering wheel shakes at 60+mph
Sounds like a balance issue. It could very well be that they balanced them properly, but one of the weights fell off. Definitely bring it back and have it re-done.- Surfrider77

Pricing Differences for 2013 vs earlier (big changes?)
My water pump (seal) went this year. Fixed under warranty, and as you said it is a common issue. Only reason I noticed was an unexplained low coolant level. Keep an eye on yours.- Surfrider77

Bluetooth Audio Delay?
I have watched YouTube videos through bluetooth LR4 speakers and never had any sync issues. Samsung Galaxy S6, S7 Edge, and Note 8 all were fine.- Surfrider77

Extended Warranty
I live in a different country with different warranty periods. It is 3 yrs standard, with 2 year extended (most dealers throw this in at the beginning like mine). Then you can further extend to take you to a maximum of 7 years. The fact that you can destroy your truck in an accident and never...- Surfrider77

Extended Warranty
I've had my truck for 4.5 years now and have had only the worn bushings (wear and tear) and the leaky water pump (TSB issued). The truck has been flawless. Why would I bet against my own truck? The extended warranty here is nearly $4k to take the truck from 5yrs to 7yrs coverage. I just can't...- Surfrider77

Showoff Your LR4
Those are some great looking wheels! Nice to see another option out there for us. If you are running rods full time, I suggest you get an alignment done to re-adjust to the new ride height. When the EAS is in lifted mode, you tend to get a bit of positive camber. Again, great looking wheels!- Surfrider77

Android integrated with factory screen
Plus, you usually have far more people posting about problems vs making the effort to take the time to go online and post good experiences. That said, I would need to see some real world reviews too before I spent that much on it.- Surfrider77

Discovery SVX
Interesting. I too think this thing will be priced through the stratosphere though and way out of budget for most people looking to actually off-road the thing. $90k and up is my guess.- Surfrider77

My LR4 next to a new Discovery...
This has always been my main issue with the D5. We all know it has glaring things we LR4 drivers loathe. But the bigger issue is the fact we have to compromise so much and then pay a heftier price tag for an inferior product. The D5 price creep is staggering. There's simply no value in it at all.- Surfrider77

Driver's Side Rear Cargo Compartment...
Sorry to hear, but at least it's not just me! I haven't heard anyone else confirm this bug until you. It's an annoyance I have just learned to live with.- Surfrider77

Air release when opening doors normal?
That's also normal. I imagine it's probably easier for the truck to auto-level when not in motion.- Surfrider77

Driver's Side Rear Cargo Compartment...
110% sure mine has a sub. It is night and day when it is on or off and the display has an adjustment slider too specifically for Subwoofer.- Surfrider77

Driver's Side Rear Cargo Compartment...
My Sub drives me nuts. I have the base HK stereo system and I have had a software glitch since day one. Basically at random times when I turn on my stereo (regardless of source input), the Sub is clearly not working. I know it is a software glitch because if I go in and change the Sub output...- Surfrider77

LR4 Navigation Update...
This company still has insane shipping outside of the US. They want 199 Euro for the update and 130 Euro for shipping a simple tiny USB drive. Crazy.- Surfrider77

Battery Life
I followed the thread on here with the XP-10. It looked promising, but them started seeing pictures of the batteries expanding to the point of warping the plastic casing. Because I live in the desert and it is regularly 120F outside and god only knows how hot inside the truck, I wouldn't want to...- Surfrider77
