#1071 of 1122 Re: Front brake pads replacement costs? [ronxlr2] by serranot Jan 13, 2009 (4:37 pm)
Replying to: ronxlr2 (Jan 13, 2009 9:01 am) That sounds outrageous for the cost of pads. I don't care which manufacturer is making them. Unless they are carbon ceramic and still ridiculously expensive, that is crazy money.   That being said, brakes are the one part I recommend using dealer parts. The factory pads always seem to be the best compromise of performance and noise and dust (BMW being the exception). If it were me, I'd try to find someone to do the job using factory parts. The labor quoted is not crazy, but the pad price seems just nuts.   Regards, Tom

yeah, i'm going to have to do some research so i'll be ready next time i need to replace the pads... since i didn't really have time to investigate and don't want to risk shredding the rotors in the meantime, i told them to go ahead and do it.   too bad there's only one LR stealorship anywhere close to where I live.

#1073 of 1122 LR2 and LR3 by weide Jan 14, 2009 (12:29 pm)
The service advisor at Scottsdale Land Rover told me when I had my LR2 in for service that the LR2 and LR3 would no longer be brought into the states. He didn't give me a date but hinted that they couldn't compete on price with Ford and GM.

Replying to: ronxlr2 (Jan 14, 2009 11:54 am) I have an LR3 HSE with 19" wheels and the front brakes + rotors recently were replaced by a local Land Rover repair shop - not a dealer. Costs as follows :   Brake Pads (set of 2) $108 Front Rotors - cross drilled $198 Brake Sensor $22.34 Installation, cleaning of rear brakes and lube caliper sliding surfaces $192   Hope this helps - for front pads alone, you are clearly getting shafted...

Replying to: gillz (Jan 14, 2009 3:32 pm) Even the service manager thought the prices for those pads were pretty high, but he assured me that's what they listed for. I don't know much about brake pads, but from what I've read, the front pads used in the LR2 are different from standard brake pads and tend to be more costly -- I have no idea why, and am certainly going to look into whether alternate 3rd party pads would work just as good (for $96 ordered online)... the pads I'm talking about are HBC and are the only ones I've found for the LR2... does anyone know about this brand?
#1076 of 1122 Re: Anyone having vibration problems?? [sixthflick] by ucla95 Jan 17, 2009 (10:42 am)
Replying to: sixthflick (Jan 13, 2009 9:17 am) Thank you very much for this, I will contact him this week. To give an update the truck has been at my dealers twice and they have no idea. They rebalanced the wheels and nothing and cleaned the rotors and axles and nothing. I love the looks and interior of this truck but if I can't drive it on the highway it's a joke.
#1077 of 1122 Removing LR2 Rear Spoiler by SeattleLR2 Jan 18, 2009 (1:30 pm)
I love my new LR2. All except for the rear spoiler. It drains the Rover look from the car. How can I remove it? I see two clips at either side of the gate, but I believe there is an adhesive pad on each side, too. Can I remove it without ruining the paint? Has anyone used goo-gone or does it ruin the finish? And what performance downside (water, drainage) should I expect? Thanks!
#1078 of 1122 Seat belt problem by roundstone Jan 19, 2009 (6:56 am)
Does anyone have passage side seat belt problem? Belt retracted and would not release anymore on this LR2 with 15kmiles.
#1079 of 1122 Re: Reliability and advice on Land Rover LR2 [Schlehke] by rover2b Jan 21, 2009 (8:51 am)
Replying to: Schlehke (Dec 06, 2008 4:33 pm) I've had my LR2 for 10 months, have 15k miles and have not had any issues whatsoever. I fell in love with the truck when I saw it at the Washington Auto Show, did some research and became concerned about vehicle reliability, much like others have posted. But, I have to admit that so far, I am completely satisfied with my LR2. As with all vehicles, there are some minor things I would change (I had the windows, particularly the sunroof, tinted as the interior gets pretty toasty in our hot, humid Washington summers) but I was drawn to the overall look and feel of the vehicle as well as all the standard features that made it stand out amongst the competitors. The dealer and its service department has treated me well as well and that's always a bonus. Best of luck!
#1080 of 1122 tires wearing out by jax10 Jan 27, 2009 (8:04 pm)
2008 LR2 HSE 17,000 miles Tears worn down to wear bar or whatever it is called, all worn evenly. I bought this new 1 year ago. Yes, they have been rotated, etc. Anyone else with this problem? Should not have to buy tires for a long time...put 3 times that many miles on Tahoe & Suburban tires....very disappointed with this. Have loved the LR2 so far.              What will or should dealership do about this problem? Thanks.
