HDC Not Available System Fault
Did all these faults pop up at startup (most likely a weak battery) or while you were already driving? -

Yes, the OBDII connector is under the LH side of the driver's knee panel. -
Showoff Your LR4
Vegas, huh? Who knew? Well, I may have found something to do during the day, the next time my wife wants to go and ends up sitting at a blackjack table for 24 hours straight. :) -
2012 lr4 issues
Perhaps it's a bad brake light switch (you didn't replace any brake lights or other bulbs in the car recently, did you?) A faulty brake light switch used to be a real issue on the LR3 / 2006-2009 Sport, and caused all kinds of faults to pop up: Traction and stability control, ABS, HDC... -

2013 LR4 New tire question
Make sure that the shop you choose uses a Hunter Road Force computerized spin balancer, that's what LR dealers use and the only one Land Rover recommends in its workshop manual to properly balance tires (Hunter has an online database of shops that use their balancers, if you want to see what's... -
How to change the battery in LR4 key fob
I replaced mine about 9 months ago for the first time (after 2 years and change) when I started getting that message, did both fobs as I figured the spare one couldn't be far behind even though I never use it. Some drugstores here sell CR2032 batteries that have been on their shelves for months... -
LR5 Release Updates?
As of MY2015, beefy factory running boards became mandatory on NAS LR4 models only (not on Discovery 4 abroad, AFAIK), allegedly due to new, more stringent side impact regulations introduced by NHTSA in 2014... Prior to MY2015, a "light" version of those running boards was an optional dealer...- umbertob

Atturo Trail Blade MT 255/55R19
Just saw this one advertised in the premiere issue of Alloy + Grit magazine, thought I'd throw the link over on the forum as it is a fairly aggressive looking All Terrain / Mud Terrain hybrid choice for those with 19" wheels that I don't think has been discussed yet. It's not a LT tire in that... -
Using mobile phone and Bluetooth
Do all your speakers work when playing music and other inputs? Are they only muted when you receive a BT call? I believe BT only uses one speaker in the driver's door. Also, have you checked the offset volume of the phone in your car system' settings to make sure it wasn't accidentally lowered...- umbertob

LR5 Release Updates?
Yes, I had a friend and former member of our local Land Rover club who had purchased a slightly used, white 2004 LR3 SE with coils (with a relatively small 3-liter V6 gas engine and no navigation) from a dealer, this was back in 2006. It was such a great deal, even at that time when the LR3...- umbertob

ProSpeed slider install...
That's what is left of the mandatory 2015+ side steps / side impact protection after the owner has removed them against Land Rover's better judgment... :) Those aluminum blocks are supposed to crumple / collapse in case of a side collision to mitigate the effects of the impact. I guess they... -
ProSpeed slider install...
My somewhat educated guess is about 100 to 150 lbs more. The sliders from Tactical are about 220 lbs (for the pair) IIRC, and they feel heavier than that when you try to install them by yourself, which can be done with patience and a floor jack, but is not an easy job. Then there's the fuel... -

LOL. I guess you will have to sit in one and judge for yourself, as my and Finlay's opinions are diametrically opposed... :)- umbertob

LR5 Release Updates?
Front seat position was very familiar to me... It does feel like a LR4 from behind the wheel, same visibility all around, same size steering wheel, same legroom and generous headroom. The center console may be a little bit higher than in the LR4's (the refrigerated well under the center arm rest...- umbertob

ProSpeed slider install...
I added foam strips myself to the Tactical sliders, along the frame rail under the truck, and along the top and bottom edges of the sills. Basically, wherever there was potential contact and friction between body / chassis and the steel sliders. About 30/40 feet or so of foam strips did it for... -

LR5 Release Updates?
I am not so sure about that, my guess is that most "Poverty spec" Disco SEs will arrive with the EAS option pre-installed here. It's strange they are offering coilers at all in NAS models. In most other markets abroad, UK and Eurpoean countries included, electronic air suspensions are standard...- umbertob

Question(s) for sticklers like me, starting with: First oil change, when?
It's your money. Modern engines are designed with very tight tolerances these days, and are quite literally broken in during manufacturing, ready to roll when you take delivery. There isn't even a chapter about "Breaking In" an engine in an Owner's Manual anymore (the chapter has sadly been... -
LR5 Release Updates?
Yup, there is a nice, rectangular storage slot under the CD/DVD player (the nav is hard or flash drive based), looks like the perfect size to hide a wallet or a phone - perhaps both. Also, there is finally a sunglasses holder on the overhead console.- umbertob

LR5 Release Updates?
Of course, the side bolsters can be widened or narrowed using a lever on the round "joystick" that also adjusts the height and inflation of the lumbar support. You'd think Land Rover would want some better trained personnel at these shows.- umbertob

The automotive industry will never catch up with the ever changing standards (usually proprietary or semi-proprietary stuff, such as Adaptive Fast Charging... Only Samsung and a couple of other manufacturers use it, and some of their phones catch fire in the process! ) of the latest mobile...- umbertob

LR5 Release Updates?
The swing-down bench seat is... comfortable, I guess? Honestly, unlike many of you I am not a diehard fan of the 2-piece tailgate of the LR4. Yeah, stuff doesn't rolls off the trunk when I open the upper section only. It's a convenient and sturdy ledge to sit and do productive stuff on. But I...- umbertob

LR5 Release Updates?
Hey Dan, the screen is definitely taller than the current one, but not by much, maybe an inch if I had to guess? It is about twice as wide though, with much crisper resolution. For Land Rover, that's a technological quantum leap... The nav and infotainment software appear to be on par with other...- umbertob
