    Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick

    Can't tell if you are kidding or serious. Anything is possible with LR lately. :D Do you think it'll look more like the DC100 FJ-Cruiser lookalike prototype? That would be consistent with the D5 that came out. It looked just like prototype exterior (although the interior was not that crazy...

    Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick

    Here’s one story on the topic; https://m.drive.com.au/motor-news/new-land-rover-defender-won-t-be-a-retro-re-make-116528.html And the alleged spy shots; http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2017/12/here-s-the-first-photographic-evidence-a-new-land-rover-defender-is-in-the-works.html "...Without...

    Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick

    I'll see if I can find the Defender spy shots that came out recently. Unfortunately if legit, it did in fact get hit by the same ugly stick. The Disco Sport, Disco, Defender.... they're just scaled versions of the same car from the looks of it. :hmmmm:

    Extended Warranty Options

    I'll do that, thanks. Are they easy to order/identify with the dealer "I need the body clips that secure the A-Pillar trim." This, as far as I know is the third time this windshield has been replaced. 2nd for me, and since it came to CarMax with the wrong windshield it was replaced once...

    Extended Warranty Options

    Uh oh... I don't want to hear that (as CarMax is putting the finishing touches on a windshield re-replacement now and I'm hoping they didn't re-use these clips.)

    Extended Warranty Options

    That's funny! To piggyback on this, I'd say definitely walk into a dealership and sit down with the finance guy instead of doing it over the phone. When I bought my LR3 I bought the extended along the way... They sent me to a new Finance guy who didn't know the quote was coming up too good to...

    Extended Warranty Options

    If you want that car, see if you can get it inspected by them, have the work done elsewhere, and then bring it back to them for re-inspection. Basically, if they say work needs completed to bring it up to CPO level, that's fair. Making you pay them for the repairs is not. Barring that, you...

    Windshield

    As a testament to how much I procrastinate dealing with warranty battles, I just now have the LR4 in with CarMax. To their credit, they are being really good about it. No fight. Free (crappy) loaner in the meantime. They confirmed that the OEM glass should have been put in from the start. They...

    Saying goodbye to an albatross

    Just happened to come across this picture (attached) today that was shared on facebook. I have not looked into the source to see if there's a bias, but it seemed on topic, so here it is;

    Saying goodbye to an albatross

    Sorry to hear you seem to have gotten a lemon. That's a drag, certainly for this time of year also. I'm on my second one... probably have driven them for 250K miles combined, haven't been stranded. I did get locked out of the rear tailgate on vacation onetime which was the most inconvenient...

    Wow! That'll mess with your head.

    LR4 DTE gas warning vs. LR3

    I realized after I posted this that this is really similar to a thread @Frank8 just posted. Sorry about that. Have been meaning to ask this and just happened to spew it out today...

    LR4 DTE gas warning vs. LR3

    Google tells me that the LR3 and the LR4 both have a 22.8 gallon tank. Both displays have a low tank warning and a DTE display that lets me know when to fill up... ...here's the question, has anyone else noticed that the LR4 seems to sound the alarm a lot earlier than the LR3 did? And the DTE...

    steering wheel shakes at 60+mph

    I had a set of Pirellis on my LR3 that did that. Could not get them balanced and just had to ride out their life with the suspect set on the rear. No issues once we did that. That said, I found @Popham's post very educational. So, the vibration that pops up at 45-55mph, does it pop back up...

    Roof Rails - Premature Aging?

    I wonder if I could use that on the black vertical piece on the side of the passenger doors. Is that metal? I think so... It's such an exposed spot, I'd hate to have it cause issues.

    REVIEW; Front Runner 3 Bar Roof Rack (Load Bar Kit)

    The item you linked includes it's own rails, so no, it does not mount to the OEM rails. Unless there is a price break, I would order direct from FrontRunner. They had good post sales support when I needed to swap out some parts and things. Some assembly required. :) I was originally looking...

    Bluetooth Audio Delay?

    I'm on an iPhone 7+ at the moment. Think my last phone did the same thing. Maybe it's an Apple thing?

    Bluetooth Audio Delay?

    I am primarily streaming from YouTube or Vimeo. As both the audio and video should be hitting my phone at the same time, I think it is a delay out the bluetooth. If you don't see it, maybe it's my phone! (which I feel better about then it being my truck)

    Possible Thule rack component: Free

    CONGRATS on the new ride!!!! That's great to hear about. Look forward to your posts as you mod it to your liking. I don't know what that part is, but yes, looks like a tire holder that goes onto a bike rack. Can't see it having anything to do with your factory setup, as you already...

    Bluetooth Audio Delay?

    I'm trying to figure out if this is an LR4 specific issue, something with my phone, or common on many bluetooth connections. You will not notice this if you are playing music, however, you may notice it if playing video from your phone through your LR4 speakers. It's about a half second delay...

    LR4 Front lower in morning. I’m new.

    While I did get an error both times I needed a strut replaced on my LR3, it was a very infrequent error. It was one of those things that would pop up every couple weeks, and then be gone. (suspension fault, I think. Didn't make me lower or slow down. Just that message.) No record of it in the...

    LR4 Front lower in morning. I’m new.

    That's a good call, @anamorphic. Mine will will adjust the suspension, but it is always in an attempt to level the vehicle. If you routinely find it parked with one strut lower than the others, you likely have a leak. You may also hear the compressor running long every time you start up the...

    Terrafirma hidden winch install

    Wow, what a great write-up. Thanks for the details. Don't think I'd have the cajones do an install like that, but it would be crazy expensive to pay someone else and they might miss the details. I would have stopped at "...relocate crash sensors."

    How to scroll through FM radio stations?

    Ahh ha! Thanks. That was the issue. I do short press no long press. :)

    How to scroll through FM radio stations?

    No, I didn't RTFM on this one, but figured I'd ask anyway... :adore: How the heck do you scroll through all stations on the stereo? (LUX) I can only get it to scroll through saved/pre-set stations or manually input a frequency, which is a challenge while driving. I recall this taking a while...
