8 Cylinder vs 6 Cylinder
Agree with all good comments above. I want to add that my 2015 LR4 was my first LR product and the SCV6 has been more than adequate for my needs; since I haven't driven or been in an LR4 with V8 I don't think I'm missing anything :) -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
Agree on all points. Would like to see the idle RPM raised to avoid the vibration and I'd be okay with another ~40HP. -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
Okay, here we go. Tools Gather some tools: Philips screwdriver, torx bits, small wire cutter/nippers, and slip-jaw pliers, dremel or similar tool with small sanding drum wheel. Parts As far as parts go, this is the charger/voltmeter that I ordered... -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
Ok, great. Let me get my act together and I'll report back with the details. -
Voltmeter / USB charge port install
I wanted to share my success in installing a voltmeter and USB charge ports in place of the passenger side 12V socket. In the end, I am very pleased with the result and it’s interesting to see what the voltage is doing. It was a little more involved than I thought it would be, as it required... -
Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick
I drove a D5 as a loaner when I took my LR4 in for service. I had kept an open mind and was fairly excited to drive it...and it was a diesel, so even better. It drove really well except for irregular surfaces such as small potholes where it really made harsh impacts; the LR4 is much better at... -
Running Winter/Snow tires in relatively warmer temperature areas
I live in Northern New Jersey and can vouch for the Duratracs. I removed the stock Contis after 5k miles and now have 25k miles on them. They are my only tire and are great in the snow and wet conditions. Rides great and only slightly louder. I’ll probably get the same tires when it’s time to... -
Lower center console removal?
Anyone have experience removing the terrain control panel (pushbutton, not rotary) on the center console? I found a youtube video online but it has the rotary controlled terrain response and conventional gear shift lever...not sure if it's the same procedure. -
Extended Warranty Options
Great information - thanks everyone! Ryanjl, I have had the same problem with my A-pillars. Seems like this vehicle was not made to handle a crosswind, lol. -
Extended Warranty Options
I know there has been some prior posts on extended warranties but I wanted to see if anyone has had any recent experience. First, some backstory. After nearly three years of relatively problem-free ownership, and the release of the D5, I've decided that I do want to keep my LR4 as my long-term... -
Battery Life
Update: Dropped the LR4 off this morning and just got an update call from the dealer. Something "went bad" in the battery and they are replacing it under warranty, charging system checked out okay, and the window switch issue is unrelated; needs to be re-calibrated and that is something they... -
Battery Life
Ha! That happened months ago for me. I just chalked it up to being "quirky". -
Battery Life
Not sure...how old is you battery? lol I just took it with the longer list of other indicators that it points to an electrical issue. Hopefully with the battery. -
Battery Life
More follow up... On Monday I made an appointment at the dealer to check out/replace the battery. I would have done it myself but the passenger-side headlight washer has fallen in the bumper (again!) so they can deal with that. They couldn't take me until Thursday so my evening ritual is now... -

Battery Life
Well that was a timely post...I just returned from the airport yesterday to find the "Low Battery - Please Start Vehicle message". Out came the XP-10 and proceeded on my way within a couple minutes (thinking it should be standard issue, lol). So we can add my battery to the data set with a 31... -
Roof Rails - Premature Aging?
Todd, I'm not sure about the door trim. It DOES seem like the same material, however it has not "stained" like my roof rails, so I agree with you and would proceed with caution. -
Roof Rails - Premature Aging?
Update for those interested, I used "Flitz" metal polish about a month ago (the bottle said safe for anodized surfaces). It appears to have worked as I had hoped. I was concerned it would mask the discoloration but it seemed to thoroughly clean the surface without damaging it. The left side... -
Battery Life
+1 for the XP-10 Also my rule of thumb for automotive batteries is a 5-years life-span. If you rely on the LR4 as your daily driver, I would change on your own-terms rather than the battery's. -
Looking at the LR4 for a family hauler
I got my 2015 Lux in April 2015. At the time, my 3 girls were ages 6, 5, and 5. For any new seat purchase, I recommend the Diono Radian RXT. You will will fit 3-across the second row with room to spare. In fact, I had two Britax Frontier 85 (convertible to high-back booster) which had an... -
2010 vs. 2015 LR4
I believe you asked for cosmetic differences, and not mechanical / functional differences... In addition to the above, headlight washers now are mounted from under the bumper and sit flush with the bumper rather than a "pod" mounted on top. Since I have been back to the dealer twice (and need... -
Owner's Day - Nov 12
Just signed up for my first owner's day (finally!) in Manchester, VT. Anyone else attending? -
Roof Rails - Premature Aging?
Thanks iSurfvilano...these are OEM as part of the "black pack". I believe they are anodized, so if I end up keeping the LR4 I can remove and have them stripped and re-anodized if they really start looking bad. I'm in manufacturing so I know bad QC when I see it. Was just curious if it's... -
Roof Rails - Premature Aging?
I have had my 2015 LR4 for about 2.5 years now. I live in NJ and it it sleeps in a garage most of the time. Does anyone else have roof rails that look like this? Seems to appear 3x the actual age of the vehicle, which otherwise looks great. Overall reliability has been great; it's just... -
LR5 Release Updates?
Yes, seems like a developing market for an LR4 "Life Extension" program. I'm sure some improvements, but has anyone ever used their rear bumper as a step to reach the roof? Not quite an option on the D5.- TCM75
