    2011, 66k miles, flat battery issues

    So, had my 2011 LR4 for 8 months and have had to jump start it 3 times. First two were from having the radio on for 15 mins with engine off. I assumed the auto radio switch off due to low battery was a sign that battery or alternator were bad. Seems this is normal though. Yesterday was doing...

    DIY: Front brake rotor replacement

    Great write up......thanks! I am having a similar issue on my 2011. Was wondering if it was the LCA's, but they were replaced in 2016. Spoke to my indy mechanic and he reckoned it was rotors, as the judder only occurs at high speed (65k miles). I have a runout meter thingy from when I was...

    Brake judder - causes?

    Has anyone replaced LCA's themselves? How to diagnose LCA's as culprit? Are there any aftermarket LCA bushings out there that last longer than a few years?

    Brake judder - causes?

    Guys thanks for your responses. LCA's were replaced within the past 3 years (not by me). On the road so will have to check date / mileage when they were replaced. Not high annual mileage so seems poor if they only last 3 years or so. No, the front discs have not been recently replaced and I...

    Brake judder - causes?

    Hi, I have a 2010 LR4 with 65k miles on it. Getting a distinct vibration when braking at highway speeds. Otherwise vibration free. I am assuming front discs are slightly warped and need replacing. I guess any loose components in the front end might also incur judder, but that would also show up...

    New LR4 owner. General thoughts on servicing, engine oil etc. please

    Thanks! Actually the LCA's were replaced in 2015 so that the vehicle qualified for an extended LR warranty. Previous owner went for that, which saved them $12k on the new engine!

    New LR4 owner. General thoughts on servicing, engine oil etc. please

    Thanks for the suggestions - much appreciated. I know...........topping up the windshield fluid is taking the piss a bit. Basically I will be doing fluids and filters for the 96k km service myself. Booked service with the dealer online 3 weeks ago and have not heard a peep back. In fact I think...

    Any recommendations on a repair manual? Used to have the WIS manual for my Saab i.e. what the techs use in the shop. Trying to locate something comparable.

    Don't worry, if the engine's a dud will blame the wife! Yes, saw the video on oil change - thanks. Thankfully before I crawled under and saw huge skid plate where the drain plug should be :)

    New LR4 owner. General thoughts on servicing, engine oil etc. please

    Hey, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Hhhmmmm.......good to know about dodgy engine history. Yikes......prospect of it possibly being replaced with an equally dodgy design a concern. Not sure on new engine warranty - but will check with dealer re. what it may be and thoughts on whether the...

    New LR4 owner. General thoughts on servicing, engine oil etc. please

    Hi guys, After three Saabs I finally got myself a 2010 LR4 with 105k km's on it (Toronto, Canada). Have owned it for 2 months and absolutely love it! I thought my Saab 93 sportcombi V6 was a pleasure to drive, but this has it well beaten (maybe not on twisty roads). Anyhow, a few questions /...
