First Winter Drive...
I bit the bullet and got four OEM 20” rims so I now have the Dunlaps on one and the original tires the truck came with on the other. Man, 20” rim+tire=HEAVY! I can barely lift one. Frank -

First Winter Drive...
I’m running Dunlap Winter Maxx I bought the car late Nov ‘16 and by the time I tried to get winter tires (20 inch rims) this was all I could find. I don’t have other winter tires to compare them to, but so far they have been adequate on slick icy roads and also deep snow. I don’t know how... -

First Winter Drive...
Finally got a real snowstorm here in Vermont yesterday. I took my LR 4 out on unplowed back roads and had great fun the tow trucks were out in force pulling flatlanders out of snowbanks but with winter tires my LR was really in its element. It’s been nagging me all morning to take it out again... -

Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick
Of course that raises the spector of what happened to all those flooded cars? In previous disasters many were dried out and shipped up north. -

Cold weather vibration?
Whew! Thanks, guys. I’ll check pressure once extreme cold moderates. Tires are winter tires. Frank -

Cold weather vibration?
For weeks its been brutally cold here in Vermont with morning temps negative 22 the other day. It rarely gets above about +5 during the day. My 2016 LR4 (14k mi) is garaged but the garage isn’t heated. For the past few days I’ve experienced severe front end vibration when I drive between about... -

Sign of Things to Come?
I had this happen in a previous car. It popped in both directions. Mechanics couldn’t find anything wrong at all so they replaced everything. Still klunk. For reasons I don’t remember I put a few more pounds air in front tires and Presto! the klunk disappeared. I dunno Frank -

LR4 Tail Gate - Auto Lift
Hate the auto doors. They are just too slow. They’re another one of those things you have to get used to. Frank -

Factory required annual service?
The recommended service flyer in the vehicle packet implies but doesn’t specifically state that it has to be done by dealer. I don’t need oil change- it was done a couple months ago. I don’t want to void the warranty! Frank -

Factory required annual service?
i bought my LR4 in November 2016. Today I got an email telling me my factory requi red annual service was due. Is there such a thing as factory required annual service? Frank -

Battery Life
So your folding mirrors didn’t go out? I just had this happen yesterday for first time. I stopped engine, opened and shut door and the went out normally on restart. Is the mirror failure a warning sign of something? -

Fuel display/consumption/warning low fuel light
Thank you for that info re GAP tool. I didn’t know the MPG computer could be adjusted. I’ll give it a try (if I can find it on the tool!) Frank -

Fuel display/consumption/warning low fuel light
Thank you all for your input and feedback. At least my gas gauge is accurate. I generally don’t let the fuel get low before topping off. It’s an old habit from my flying days when we would always fill our tanks to reduce the airspace/moisture/condensation Frank -

Fuel display/consumption/warning low fuel light
hello 2016LR4, 13k miles. Did a Vermont/NYC round-trip, 265 miles each way. The average fuel consumption computer came in at 20 mpg. Dividing miles by fuel consumed gives me 16+ MPG The Lo fuel warning came on when it showed 65 miles to empty, and when I filled it it only took 17.5 gallons... -

Gap tool
I had same problem. Finally gave up and asked dealer to do it when I got next service. Dealer told me they had to put new OEM sensors in. Claimed frequency was wrong but that w as bs. I had two separate shops check the freq and it was correct. They didn’t put new sensors in but hit me for... -

Looking at the LR4 for a family hauler
As far as NYC and area traffic goes, my 2016 LR4 does just fine. I drive it a lot in the NY metro area and have no problem passing. I particularly like the height. I think that’s a big advantage. If you shop Manhattan LR, look for a salesman whose first name is “Roman” ( I forgot his last name... -

How does it work?
my first LR4. I had first service done by nearest dealer. At about 7.5k miles front rotors warped and they fixed under warranty and did an oil change. I recently got a reminder from the dealer who sold me the car that I was due for service. Don't dealers enter this service data into my cars... -

Discovery SVX
I got a slightly different one around 2PM. Basically they wanted to sell a driving experience. I dunno what the Defender is doing in all this. The front end of their SVX looks like a cartoon car. I'm still unclear why the email. Seems they have a "heritage" program and you can drive a... -

New guy in Houston
Congrats! Overpaying a bit doesn't matter if you've avoided the nuisance and down-time of replacing the air suspension and compressor. Frank Question added in edit: are there a lot of flood damaged LRs coming out of Houston?- Frank8

Discovery SVX
Well said. I also don't "get" the design. Driven it a bit - nice with a hint of the same problem I have in most vehicles. I'm very tall, old and creaky and my LR4 fits well. The D5 just doesn't have the interior space as well distributed. As an example, the windscreen slope cuts off the top... -
