    Velar?

    There are Discovery Sports out there over $63,000! I just can't imagine having $60,000+ to go car shopping and ending up with a Discovery Sport. LR must be making a killing on "options" these days.

    Whoa, did not see extended-lift-mode coming!

    LR5 Release Updates?

    This is sort of like having 4 navy suits, technically they all have subtle sytling cues that make them different, but to the casual observer they all look pretty much the same. I guess the order totals will ultimately determine if this is the right strategy for LR...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Ha, that is so funny. I skimmed the videos and the one thing that stuck out was that guy trying to rest his arm on the window sill and he could not seem to find a comfortable position. The stock tires should be 31", so by the looks of it I am thinking 31.5" would be the max you can stuff in...

    Intelligent Start/Stop MIA

    All of these comments seem to be proof that LR tossed this system in the LR4 simply to meet some guideline or mandate, but did not invest a lot of time/money in its development. I wonder if the Disco 5 owners will be as "fortunate" and have the system fail almost universally across the board...

    rear distance parking aid

    It is fairly common for the harness to rub at the passenger side rear corner of the bumper. Once it warms up, pull the bumper and check. Sometimes you can splice the harness, but offten times corrosion is visible in multiple spots, in which case you will just end up replacing the entire...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Mmmmmmmmmm, no, it's not quite the same.

    2016 - free first scheduled maintenance

    Strange how they claim the first free service no longer applies to 2016 LR's while Jaguar is offering free service for 5 years and 60,000 miles! Being that they are marketing these new dual-branded dealerships, maybe they need more people to "go left" when entering the door...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    I deal with an indy shop because I have a great option nearby and my vehicles are both 2008, but my dealer would not even offer me any tires other than the original OEM options in 2008 when I inquired 2 years ago. No other brands and certainly no other sizes, nothing. I was shocked as I just...

    LR4 Interior LED Lights

    2011 - 2017 LR4 - My Experiences

    That sounds about right. Between our previous 04 Discovery, our 08 LR3 and our 08 RR, I think the overall average is roughly $175/month per vehicle in maintenance costs. Of course, that often comes in chunks, it's not like they are in the shop all the time (well, the Discovery was there pretty...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Me too, until my dogs figured out they could squeeze up into the 2nd row in that space, then it had to go back in and block my view! The D5 is scheduled though 2024 in Slovakia, so there will be design "refreshes" in that time, but not a new model. I doubt that they will begin on that before...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    That photo could be of test mules sitting on a lot, but other posts on that site say that a couple dealers have one already and some test drives are scheduled. There is one sitting behind this rather interesting RRS, photo claimed to be taken yesterday. You can tell it is the full size...

    LR5 Release Updates?

    Well I guess they are officially underway, seems the new Discovery's are popping up in the UK already, so I am thinking the LR4's that are left (of which there are few) will be the end of them.... https://disco5.co.uk/forum/thread125283.html

    I've Been An Idiot

    Valentine's Day is probably your best bet to tell her the news and avoid the couch (unless you forgot, then it's a week for sure!) - good luck!

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Someone on here posted that their dealer specifically said there would be no issues with warranty claims as long as tires are within 3% of OEM, so that would rule out 265/65, IF THAT IS TRUE. I doubt it is a specific LR rule and some dealers are more open to mods than others. You have to know...

    2016 Land Rover LR4 (Discovery 4) Project Build

    Great shots and a great build! It also looks like Spring is popping up there, something to look forward to for us in the NorthEast!

    New LR4 with HD Package

    I think there are just over 100 LR4's in total (cars.com shows 108 at the moment), so there you go, roughly 1 in 25 are HD..... It still is not clear if any more will be sent over. I have not seen any "last Discovery 4 off the assembly line" article nor a "first all-new Discovery off the...

    New battery: Sears?

    I don't think the LR3's have a battery management system, so the option is probably hidden/removed when connected to one.

    Separate rims for snow tires?

    An elderly lady I know takes her car into a local Firestone shop every spring and winter to swap from all-seaon to winter tires. When she went in last month the shop told her two tires were ruined around the beads and that she needed 4 new ones. Her son got involved and it turned out the damage...

    LiftMaster garage door opener suck...

    I have an 08 LR3 and was studying this issue last year when choosing new openers. I was originally looking at the higher end Liftmaster units, but ultimately went with Genie SilentMax 1000 units because some farm center out west had a special price that was half of anyone else and I really do...

    SCV6 - 340hp ---> 380hp?

    You can find most of the engine data via the link below. A comparison is attached to save you some time - perhaps you can look at both versions and spot a difference that leads you to the undelying mechanical changes...

    Nokian WRG3 or Bridgestone Dueler h/l Alenza plus

    When we picked up my wife's 08 RR it had brand new Dueler Alenza plus tires. She had me take them off within 2 weeks because she did not like them (she was used to Grabber AT2's on our LR3). She opted for a set of Duratracs and loves them - she feels more confident in bad weather with them on...
