    2011 LR4 shimmy/vibration -- control arms? warped or glazed rotors?

    After reading a million different posts, I figured it was the control arms causing my steering/braking issues, but I start to overthink it and second guess myself. As always, I appreciate the feedback. I had already ordered all of my parts, but I'm a bargain shopper, so I was able to keep costs...

    2011 LR4 shimmy/vibration -- control arms? warped or glazed rotors?

    Actually, when I price them out it's only $10-20 more to do a full brake kit with rotors and pads than it is to buy rotors, so that would be the plan if I go that route. Thank you!

    2011 LR4 shimmy/vibration -- control arms? warped or glazed rotors?

    I've read and reread so many posts I'm going cross-eyed trying to figure out and answer to the issues I'm having. I have a 2011 LR4 HSE with 135k miles. I've owned it for the last five years since 83k miles. I'm having multiple issue and I'm getting ready to address them all this next week, but...

    Replacement engine

    My shop found an engine in Atlanta, total cost to replace with an engine with 100k miles would be $14500 with a 12 month warranty. Or $17k for a completely rebuilt engine from Tapa. Completely new motor without the issues common the the 5L engines. I haven't found another LR4 within 100 miles...

    Replacement engine

    So my 2011 LR4 threw a rod. After my shop tore into it, they found the sleeve, spring and rod were all missing parts. While the original plan was to rebuild the top side, now they are talking about finding a replacement motor. I'm hesitate to drop $12-15000 into a used engine, so I'm looking for...

    LR4 Seats and Interior rattles

    And don't get me started on the timing belt guides. Every time I start my rover I know that's going to start rattling!! ;)

    LR4 Seats and Interior rattles

    Is the tick tick a common thing? I have it too, but I haven't ridden in the back to figure out where the noise is coming from. After reading this post a few days ago, my wife commented that the drivers seat was squeaking, thanks for jinxing me. It stopped after driving and shifting position, but...

    Michilin, Goodyear or Nokian? (19")

    Vredestein Quatrac 5. I put these on to replace my stock conti's and the difference was night and day. They are an all weather tire similar to the Nokians, which is different than an all-season, in that it is a snow rated tire. We get intermittent snow in Indiana, so a dedicated snow tire makes...

    "Smart key not found" help!!!

    They just reprogrammed my original key fob and the new one too. But they have to have both, the car and the keys to do it. After they charged me $100 to program it, I wished I had just purchased a programming tool and did it myself.

    "Smart key not found" help!!!

    This happened to me right after I bought my car. My third party garage said they could program it in 15 minutes, and 90 minutes later they came out and said they unprogrammed my original key. They had to load it and take it to the dealer to get them to program both the keys.

    Living up to its unreliable history

    Since Top Tier gas was mentioned, should you continue to use gas treatment/fuel conditioner annually if you are already using Top Tier gas? I toss a bottle of Techron fuel system cleaner in every few months, but if using premium gas with STP additives does the same thing, I'll invest the money...

    Preemptive 80K mile service...

    Yeah, sometimes I wish I never found this forum. Now every time I drive my car I'm listening and watching for something to go wrong!! Although I did have to replace the water pump and both tubes a month after I bought it......

    Arm rest leather or cover

    My bad, I was talking about the bin cover. I keep my armrests in the up position and forget they are even there!!

    LR4 Gremlins

    I searched but didn't find it. It seems more common with the LR3 than the LR4. I must have read it on another forum, or I'm not using the right search criteria. It has to do with the clock spring wearing out, beyond that it got really technical, electronically speaking. Mine happens so rarely, I...

    LR4 Gremlins

    The issue with the radio controls on the steering wheel is common, if you search you will find a couple old threads. It has to do with a ring in the control. Mine does it every now and then, I just repeated push the phone buttons and it seems to reset.

    Service questions - 64k

    I'm using the instrument panel right now, I need to toss a notebook in the glove box to keep track. I didn't realize the cluster could be off that much, thanks for bursting my bubble!! ;)

    Service questions - 64k

    I'm getting 14ish in town with a heavy foot, but last week I averaged 22 mpg on the highway going 75-80. I'm pleased with that. I might try the BG44k just for giggles because I don't have any idea how my rover was serviced prior to buying it. Mine is a 2011 with 86k just for reference.

    the LR4 19inch tire dilemma

    I'm also in the market for new tires. Does anyone have any experience with Vredestein Quatrac 5? I'm down to 4-5 different tires and these came up as well rated. I'm looking for an all season/all weather tire for mainly on road use, low noise, high comfort, that handles well. I'm moving from the...

    Hood open warning

    I was taking pics on my phone using the insurance companies estimate app and noticed a scuff on the front bumper by the fog light. So evidently I was pushed into the truck ahead of me. He left the scene of the accident right away and so I never realized I hit him until today. I was in the middle...

    Hood open warning

    I looked for the pins, but didn't see anything like you described under the hood near the headlights. Everything is cleaned up and it is still doing it. I think since it started after the accident I can get it covered and fixed when it goes into the shop for repair. I mentioned it the adjuster...

    Hood open warning

    I had an accident this last week in my 2011 LR4 and now have a new warning showing up. I was rear ended while stopped and have only cosmetic damage due to the over-construction of the frame, but have a new gremlin. Every now and then the hood open warning comes on. The first couple times I...
