the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
The Duratracs are not going away, it is just the 255/55/19 size that keeps coming and going. That size is the only size that was made in Germany and when I questioned Goodyear on the specs (they are different for this one size compared to the other sizes), they said this size was made... -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
Duratrac S or Q speed rating All-terrain tires do get louder as they wear, all tires do for that matter. I had a set of Grabber AT2 on my LR3 and while they got louder near the end, it was nothing like the Duratrac's on my wifes RR. They are almost obnoxious at this point and there is... -
the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
I am considering the Terrain Contacts for my wifes RR, so I will be waiting to read as well. She has the Duratracs now and while they have been nice tires (smooth, good grip, even wear, good looks), they are insanely loud now that they have 25,000 miles on them, and they look like they could go... -
Lr3 transmission fault
Is your LR3 outside? If you had a lot of snow on top and it melted and there are any sunroof drain blockages, it is possible some drops of water got into the center console and have corroded one of the electrical harnesses. In this case you will need to dig into the situation by removing the... -

New LR4 owner. General thoughts on servicing, engine oil etc. please
My local dealer would not "break apart" the mileage based services (such as 45k, 60k, 75k, 105k, etc). They have a time allotment for each check per the standard repair guidelines (like 10 min to check bulbs) which really ramps up the cost. They said it was all or nothing, so in the end, it... -

Intermittent Power Loss to Display
There is definately a thread on this forum about this exact issue (console going blank/off), I remember reading it. And I do think it ended up being the CJB, but I cannot be100% sure. Perhaps try searching for CJB or similar and you can find it and the details of the diagnosis and fix. Good luck! -
How long are LR3 radiators good for?

LR5 Release Updates?
If Jeep can redesign the Wrangler from the ground up and still keep it looking 90% the same, but behave better in every way, I do not know why LR could not do this. Why change the Icon model of the entire brand? Even the all-new G-Wagon was made to look mostly the same. I am fearful LR is...- catman

Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick
BMW just said that they are now going to start moving more away from so many similar models. Their claim was that it was intentional to create a universal brand identity/image, especially in China, but now that they have established that (again, especially in China), they are going to start... -
System Faults
You should also check for corrosion in the wiring under the door sills (and sometime in the center console if the sunroof was ever left open or a drink spilled). The LR3 is known to have water get into the cabin from either clogged sunroof drains or from the winshield cowl having a bow in it... -
4-Wheel Alignment
About 2 years ago it was up to $129.99 at my local dealer (from $99 about 5 years ago), so by now I bet it is closer to $149.99, but it can vary by region as well. -
Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick
The D5 sales are definately below their original expectations, they seem to be below the 2015 D4 levels (2016 was a phaseout period). That is why there are so many commercials highlighting the D5, at least around here. Interesting, I have not seen nor heard a peep about the Velar since its... -

I have had a loaner D5 for a week Ask Me Anything (LR4 owner)
Great review! At 68k I would say it was not fully "loaded", but rather mid-range. They ramp the D5's all the way up to 90K with misc features. I think that is part of the rub with people, it's just a LOT of money for something that competes in the family hauler category. Did yours have the...- catman

Delay in Reverse...
Yes I much prefer the Discovery SVX shifter compared to the dial. I can do without the little orange terrain response ring and the X on the shifter though, that's a bit mathy-matchy for my taste.- catman
