Discovery SVX
If I were to spend my $$$ on an LR SVR, I would on the RRS version. -
Transmission Fault on the freeway
Hmmm.... I would get a 2nd opinion. Let me know if you find an independent LR master mechanic in H-town. BTW, JLR on SW Freeway took care of it for about $500 7 months ago for me. -
BT Hack for Pre-2013 LR4's
I have a 2012 LR4 and no BT problems. Can control volume and song << or >> on the iPhone from steering wheel controls. -
My LR4 next to a new Discovery...
Thank you for the pictures! They just made my argument stronger about keeping my LR4. A few days back visited the local dealer for maintenance and had the chance to see a D5 in the showroom. What a claustrophobic design. And with the MSRP it is tempting to go for a new RRS for $3K more. LR4s rule! -
Tire suggestion
Try the General Grabber UHP. I changed original Contis at 20K. The UHPs have now 26K and seem ready for another 20K. I used the UHPs on my former MB and they lasted 48-50K before meeting the minimum legal thread. Ck Tirerack @ $690 for the set of 4. -
Showoff Your LR4
Wow! Not so sure I will do it with my LR4 but it's a great feeling to know what she is capable of! -
Gas mileage: report your real world numbers
2012 lr4 I'm getting 16.5 mpg combined city/highway. I do mostly city driving. -
19" Tires ONLY - Recommendations
Just ordered from Tirerack General Grabber UHP set. Current Contis have 30k and won't pass state inspection. First time I will use them in my LR4. I have used them before with a MB ML and lasted 50k. Good grip on and off road, low noise, great wet traction and cornering. Let's see how it goes... -

Water Pump
Thank you Umberto! Got a 2012 LR4 but VIN did not match. I assume that is a vehicle not affected by this issue. No problems at 17K but just in case I will keep an eye on coolant level :biggrin: -
New Discovery Sport with 5+2 seating
Explorer? Looks more like a Ford Edge... And if it is a replacement to the LR2/Freelander, a almost fully Edge Sport AWD is about $42K MSRP. -

A 2010 Land Rover LR4 engine question. HELP!!
Sorry to hear about the fuel constraints. As you get only the gasoline that it is available unfortunately you are subject to whatever quality is there and your LR is exposed to whatever contaminants are in the petrol available. Lived a similar situation years back in South America. I had to... -
A 2010 Land Rover LR4 engine question. HELP!!
Try to consume recommended 95 RON petrol. When not possible minimum 90 RON is required. Usually RON information is pasted at the pump for the respective grade. When using petrol lower than 95 RON, you will consume more petrol. Most probably in Yemen the high octane is dyed red to differentiated... -
Center console latch remove?
I have a MY12 and when connecting, the center console has sort of o a couple of "tunnels" in the lid that allow for the iphone cable to stick out without being crushed. If that is not possible in yours, just connect to the additional power supply in the console. If you have a MY12 or newer, you... -
iPod/iPhone options for 2012 Base?
Sometimes radio units have connections for this. Would need to research more on the web or check with you local LR. High-end car stereo shops usually are more aware of compatible wireless solutions if one is available. I checked Dension but unfortunately they do not have anything LR compatible... -
iPod/iPhone options for 2012 Base?
Check the following link for location of USB. http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/content/document/view?id=112868&groupId=1655 Looks like BT software version on the 2011 only allows BT for the phone part. If you still can't find the USB connection then check if you have the AUX connector... -
iPod/iPhone options for 2012 Base?
You only need the USB cable if you want to charge the iPhone/iPod. You can play your music from the iPhone using only BT. Works very well when using Pandora or iTunes Radio from you iPhone since you will have cellular broadband connection. This will be the same for an iPod Touch which has BT but... -
2015 LR4/Discovery 4
Great to know they are keeping the design for 2015. Short wish list: bring back the V8, standard locking differential. Wood steering wheel nice if standard but love full leather one. I also would like if they can upgrade previous LR4 models with the LR Apps but can live w/o it as well. How about... -
Techron anyone?
I use Chevron/Texaco gasoline with Techron already in the blend of any of the grades. It really keeps your fuel system clean. Also the price is competitive with other premium brands such as Shell, Exxon, BP Amoco (in order of my personal preference). Stick to the premium brands. I use the... -
JD Power's CSI survey is out - Nothing to see here, again
16 months as first owner with my LR4 and no problems unless you consider your first service an inconvenience. It is our preferred daily driver and travel vehicle. I am just happy for my decision. It was way more versatile even and (surprise!) cheaper than a similarly equipped Tahoe/Denali, X5... -
Automatic carwash
Sorry to hear about this incident. When using a carwash I go for the brushless type, i.e. only hand wash. And make sure your local dealership also performs a hand wash. Otherwise I wash it myself, and in any case I end up detailing the car as I still have not found a car was who can completely... -

2015 the new discovery
I fully agree with the "another derivation of a Ford Explorer". A lot better but when a vehicle design reminds you of another brand, may be it's me but somehow I feel LR lost its brand design distinction. And now this is a "leisure" vehicle? Common! But let's not lose hope. I really like the...
