Poor Throttle Pedal Response Issue - Anyone else?
On my '15 LR4 with 24,000 miles I could swear that the throttle feel has deteriorated to the point where it feels like the first 1/8" to 1/4" (I have not measured precisely yet) of travel does nothing. I haven't been off road in a while but I can't imagine this "dead spot" would add anything to... -
Intelligent Start/Stop MIA
UPDATE: I had my LR4 at the dealer for service a few weeks ago. I had a funky terrain response display (fixed by "software update") that I wanted the service advisor to check out. When he came back to the counter after starting the engine he said, "I noticed your start/stop is not working; do... -
Add 1 Quart of Oil after 6000 miles
Anecdotally, when I bought my Audi S4 (in 2005) I was advised, and horrified, at being told Audi considered consumption of 1 qt per ~5000 miles to be normal. I never saw anything near that. Just saying, it might be acceptable. Do you have any trend information on the consumption to go by? -
Getting spooked- weird stuff
I would order an OBDII fault reader from Amazon. You can get them fairly cheap (about $50) but I ended up getting a more advanced one that could read and graph live data. Still cheaper than a IID tool and you can use it on any car with OBDII. I was getting an intermittent check-engine light... -
Terrain Response Modes - Out of Sync?
Update - So I never ordered the IID tool but I did bring my LR in for service and had them look into this. Dealer was able to resolve it. From the service record: "...cause: internal module software error, 889003 Instrument Pack - system diagnosis - includes configuration of new ECU 46WPL97"... -
Long term plan for the LR4
I am relatively new to the brand, with my '15 being my first. I have smiled at the thought that my oldest daughter (she will be 9 soon) could be driving my LR at some point in the future. It could happen, but then I have second thoughts when I read about some air suspension problems and have... -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
I run this size Duratrac and ordered it from Tire Rack with no issues. It has been a good tire, only adding a bit of cabin noise; more noticeable than the OE highway tires but not nearly approaching the "annoying" side of the spectrum. I have about 16k miles on them and the wear seems even... -
Windshield
I agree with the clips...I had the dealer replace my cracked windshield at 6mos (I was nervous that an aftermarket company would screw up the heated windshield). It was almost $1000 and several months later the passenger A-pillar trim popped off on the highway. It is very LOUD, but it will not... -
Intelligent Start/Stop MIA
I would try the load test...kind of curious as well. I have same vintage and mileage and my start/stop quit a while ago with the same lack of faults and warning lights. -
2016 Land Rover LR4 (Discovery 4) Project Build
Looks amazing...and excellent photography! -
LR4 Accessories
Just thought I'd share my recent fog light swap. I replaced the standard "fog" lights with PIAA LP530 led fog lights and it was almost too easy. I just cut the new fog light wires and soldered on a matching OEM harness which was $6 from Amazon. Otherwise it was a simple plug-and-play with the... -
2016 LR4 Intelligent stop/start not working
My 2015 ECO stopped working about a year ago. Initially I didn't have a problem with it but I changed my opinion after a few months of ownership. It is really fine about 99% of the time. However, it's the 1% where it became dangerous...like when you have to turn across a lane of oncoming... -
Home setup/equipment for swapping wheels and undercarriage rinsing, etc.
Only "trick" I would say is to not lift it! First, make sure parking brake is set. When taking off a wheel, loosen all nuts but leave the bottom-most one mostly on (this is to prevent wheel from rotating upwards and away from vehicle until you are ready to remove it). If using an impact... -
Home setup/equipment for swapping wheels and undercarriage rinsing, etc.
I'm in the Northeast and when they switched over to the liquid/urea mixture, it seems there is just no point in keeping a car more than a few years anymore. It's so bad the exhaust system on my '15 (which I thought was at least galvanized) has about 85% rust coverage. As for the setup, make... -
Terrain Response Modes - Out of Sync?
I should add that I have a '15 Lux...agree with you catman that this should really be a mature design with mature systems by now. Manoftaste, I couldn't agree with you more. This is my first LR product, and possibly the last (at least new one - hello Defender 110!). I wanted something with... -
Terrain Response Modes - Out of Sync?
So this is weird (and my dealer is worthless...but that is another story). I am pretty sure since new, the terrain response settings don't agree with each other. between the instrument panel and center console switch area. In the first image, "Grass Gravel Snow" is the top line that is... -
Loose exterior A-Pillar trim
Mine popped off a bit on the highway. Luckily it will never come off completely as the hood has to be open to remove the bottom portion. I traced it back to a sloppy job at installing the sealant when a new windshield was installed. Extra sealant did not allow the clips to fully engage near... -
Intelligent stop/start able to be disabled 2015/2016?
Waterndirt, same for me...I bought my LR4 in April and took it back in August because the cooling fan stayed on excessively. They said they updated the software. Only took me a few weeks to notice Eco mode was missing. I wasn't entirely against it, but I'm not going to go out of my way to get... -
Key FOB 'secrets'
Yes, owner's manual has the info...it's not something you would stumble upon. Accessory power or engine needs to be on AND turn on hazard lights. Exit car and make sure all doors are closed. Press and hold headlight button and then press and hold unlock button to raise vehicle or the headlight... -
LOL. Discovery Sport Named One of CR's 4th Worst Cars in 2015
I agree with Jwest... I was trying to be positive on the Disco Sport until I had my '15 in for service about a month ago. They gave me an Evoque to use and it was utterly horrible. Engine = buzzy and anemic, handling = mushy, NVH = moderate. Not to mention ALL of the human input controls... -
How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?
Again it is really apples to oranges here. In NJ where we live we have generally messy winters. Used to live in a house with a steep driveway that we just could not climb in our first minivan with 1/2" of snow. When shoping for MV #2 we compared the Odyssey to the Sienna very carefully... -
parking sensors / volume
Yeah, that is a great feature I have not come across on other vehicles...too bad you can't set a default volume. -
How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?
My wife had the Odyssey and it was a great people-mover. Lease ended when our kids were ages 6.5, 5, and 5. Because they are not stroller-age anymore and generally have less "support equipment" we decided to downsize. That, and my wife refused to have another minivan, lol. Does your sister... -
Cilajet exterior application
Have not heard of Cilajet, but I am of the opinion that paint is getting worse and worse as enivironmental restrictions limit "the good stuff" that used to make paint good. A little disappointed that hard water (drove by a neighbor's house who had water sprinklers on) created spots that needed... -
How to stop battery from draining
Umbertob is correct about the lights...I stumbled on this by accident out of frustration and then figured it might be good to read the owner's manual to see what else I was missing out on. I must say, this car has quite a few features that one might be unaware of, as they are not really...
