Power outlets. Are any always hot?
Can any of the 12V power points be always hot? I need to be able to charge iPad and phone while engine is off. Is there any way to do this? Thank you Frank -

Land Rovers Suck!! Hear me out!
It really sort of doesn’t matter if some think LRs suck. Maybe they do, mebbe no. Ever since I drove one across Anatolia in the late 60s I’ve wanted one. One day, late November 2016, almost 50 years later, I was driving past Norwood (MA) Land Rover and thought, “What the hell!”, stopped and... -

I would still like to know if Matt’s replacement pipe only lasted a year. -

Land Rovers Suck!! Hear me out!
Sorry, but I’m a bit confused. Matt, am i correct in reading that you replaced the crossover a year ago and that pipe is the one that just ruptured? Are these pipes really this crappy? -

2012 LR4 Slow interface screen
Hmmm... my 16 has always had fast camera-on/offuntil about a month ago. Now the rear camera takes a long time to turn on and at least 5 sec to turn off when I go into drive. Very noticeable Frank -

Dim Center Instrument Display
Well, after an hour or so I turned it back on and everything works ok now. If I block the ambient light to the turn signal indicators the dash lights and nav dims. I would love to make them brighter permanently. Old eyes, ya know. -

Dim Center Instrument Display
Using the penlight trick I discovered that the turn-signal areas (7 and 14 on the PDF) are ambient light sensors on my ‘16. HOWEVER, after blasting them a few times with a penlight the lights are now stuck in full bright and the dimmer control doesn’t work. I shut the engine off and will try... -

My 2016 doesn’t have the ambient light sensor as shown in PDF. Is it somewhere else? Frank -

Trade in *mint* 2015 CPO for higher mileage 2014 ?
Supposing your numbers are right. You’re paying 16k to get out of a car loan that at 1.8% is virtually free money. Look at your loan papers. What is the total amount of interest you’ll pay by the time the loan is paid off? If it’s less than 16k you are really shooting yourself in your bankbook... -

Trade in *mint* 2015 CPO for higher mileage 2014 ?
Naah, it’s too downmarket:rolleyes: By the way, the LR4 depreciates pretty briskly. I wonder how the D5 will do? I think it’s gonna be an “ouch”. -

Trade in *mint* 2015 CPO for higher mileage 2014 ?
I only used ATT as an example. There are many very conservative stocks/mutual/ETFs that have good yields. But keep in mind that 1.8% is very cheap money. Interest rates are going up and you’ll not likely ever get a loan at that rate again. The only way you’re gonna come out of a trade with a... -

If your interest is 1.8% you can take the 36k and buy ATT (T) and get about 6.5% dividend yield. -

LR4 Replacments...
Ha! My problem is slightly different. I have 17k on my 2016 LR4 and 78 yrs on my 1940 bod. I don’t know which is gonna give up first, but it’s an ugly feeling.:(:dontknow: Frank -

OCD GLOVE BOX ORGANIZATION
Mine came yesterday and fits my ‘16 non-cooler console perfectly. It’s strange how little things like this make such a difference! -

LR4 Replacments...
There are guys in Colchester VT that rebuild/restore LRs. Wouldn’t that be a solution if you want to keep your LR4 “forever”? Frank -

OCD GLOVE BOX ORGANIZATION
I just ordered one also. Do a new search for “lr4 console holder” or something like that and you’ll find both fridge and no fridge from same maker. Now if I could find the glove box organizer.... -

Uneven Wear in Front Brakes - anyone else?
Check out my earlier thread about 15 posts earlier. “Burning smell coming thru heat vent” The brakes were seizing unevenly. -

Burning smell coming thru heat vent
Getting back to the burning smell and dragging brake issue, my average mpg is up about 2mpg since I had all four brakes fixed. I might be imagining it, but the vehicle feels different. This is based on two more tankfuls of gas. Any more info on a tsb? Would the dealer service dept know? -

Burning smell coming thru heat vent
Yeah, we’ve lived in Vermont for almost 40 years and never had this problem with any previous vehicle. I guess that’s why I didn’t think of it at first. I just drove down to NYC and I think my gas mileage is better by a couple miles/gal but it’s not a fair test since part of the trip was thru...
