LR5 Release Updates?
What is up with these little black notches above each wheel well? I had not noticed it before, but it seems to stand out and look a little strange, especially on the on the white?- catman

Lessons from a dead battery and where you hang your keys
I'm pretty sure none of the LR3's had passive keyless entry, so you should be fine. -
Brake pads already worn?
Zero squealing and minimal dust with Akebono ceramic pads on my LR3 (they do not make pads to fit the LR4). However, I can attest that the braking performance is less when compared to the OEM pads. You do need to adjust your braking style accordingly as there is less bite in a pinch, although... -
LR5 Release Updates?
Well that sure does look black to me on that configuator - pictures so far of UK ones with the black pack still have that silver, so who knows, maybe they are changing it on the fly due to feedback...- catman

LR5 Release Updates?
I finally figured out that you CAN get a rear locker with an HSE, you have to select 7 seats from within the interior view page of the online configurator and then the Capability Plus Package magically appears on the options page. I guess selecting 7-seats at the end is somehow a "different"...- catman

LR5 Release Updates?
LR shows 21 available in the US as of today. I am sure they are all demos and not really for sale just yet, just to facilitate orders. I like the tan, but I think the center console lid should match it and be tan as well. Same with the rear hitch cover piece, I think that should be black when...- catman

the LR4 19inch tire dilemma
It does appear the tire has disappeared from the Goodyear site again (in the 255/55/19 size). This happened not that long ago and then it reappeared with a new part number. Maybe they ran out of stock again. This tire you linked to at Walmart has the old part number. When they recently... -
Lessons from a dead battery and where you hang your keys
Is it possible that this issue begins when the vehicle is locked? I notice most people who do not have this issue leave their keys in or next to their LR4, which I then presume is left unlocked. I would think the perimeter check for a nearby key would not begin until the vehicle is locked... -
LR4 Black Front Grille
You can get a 2012 black grill from Powerful UK for about $120 with shipping at today's exchange rates. You can even get one updated to look like a 2014 plus grill for about $165 if you want. I have not ordered from them, but I think they have a good reputation based on what I have rear to... -
75,000 service interval
The dealer is priced "high" for that service because they have a flat time allotment for everything included in that service, it is not done as a time and material service. Checking a bulb may have a 5 minute allotment, so if it is fine, it takes 10 seconds, but you pay for 5 minutes. I do not... -
Question about vibration of new engine?
My experience is that anytime you take something complex apart and put it back together, it is never quite the same as from the factory. I am sensitive to the way my vehicles drive and it drives me nuts all the time, but in the end, it becomes the "new normal". Assuming the vibration is not... -

Brake pads already worn?
Do any of you have any issues with squeaks or squeals when replacing the pads only (keeping rotors)? Everytime I have ever tried that I get either vibration or annoying squeaks. At this point as soon as one set needs replaced (front or rear) I just do all 4 corners at once to be done with it... -
Found an LR4, a couple pre-purchase questions...
You know it. My wife went to look at a used RR at a dealer a couple years ago and it was in the shop getting pre-sale maintenace done. They took us in to see it on the lift and told us all about its history as it was a local trade. I followed up with them "secretly" the next day (Monday) and... -
LR5 Release Updates?
It appears you can add the rear locker even on the SE in the UK (but not the base S which we do not get here in the US), so I suspect that the brochure listing it as availble for the SE is a mistake. The US Capability Plus Pack listed for the HSE-LUX does not even include the All-Terrain...- catman

LR5 Release Updates?
Yes, that is odd. I see a "capability plus package" available for the HSE that has the rear locker, but it says it is not available with the 7-Seat package or the Capability package, and I do not see any other way to get the air suspension added to the HSE. The package itself does not show as...- catman

instrument pack going "dark"
I would check your alternator. A bad/failing diode can cause all kinds of crazy things to happen and your LR3 is right at the age where many alternators begin to fail. My 2008 failed several months ago and I know of at least two other 08's that failed recently around here that created strange... -
LR5 Release Updates?
Air suspension is standard in the UK and I think the entire EU, but here in the states the base model is coil suspension. But, that is how the LR3 started and that quickly faded. Since the 2018 documentation has already started to appear on topix, I am guessing (with some insights from...- catman

Rain Sensor...
Very interesting. My auto wipers on my LR3 are "ok", but in the end I would definately prefer to control the wiper delay manually. I find myself leaving them off in misty conditions and just pushing down for a wipe whenever I feel it is needed. It is ironic you posted this as just yesterday I... -
Velar
My point exactly in a previous post - the options LR is putting out must be making them most of their profit as I cannot see how you add $39,400 to a base model without suffering some serious depreciation! Those first edition lease units will make a much better buy in 3 years with 30,000 miles... -

LR5 Release Updates?
LR is going to extremes to promote the toughness of the new vehicle in order to maintain the Discovery's status as an accomplished overland vehicle. The smooth lines will surely appeal more to the city masses, so they need to keep pounding the ruggedness idea into the heads of everyone else to...- catman
