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.

LR2 and LR3

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.

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...

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?

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.

Removing LR2 Rear Spoiler

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!

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!

tires wearing out

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.

I have the same issue.. but it doesn't matter how LONG you have had your car.. The important issue is how many MILES you have on it. That's the issue with any tire and the wear. Nothing wrong with the vehicle if the tires wear.. I have 35,000 miles on my LR2 after 15 months and on my list is a tire replacement. The dealer gave me a quote of something over $1,000 and I plan to go to a tire dealer for a quote as well. With full time 4 wheel drive... you will go through tires more quickly. I also suspect that the original tires were a good traction tire which may tend to wear more quickly. I had my tires rotated, of course, but any car with fulll time 4 wheel will wear through tires.. Also the car is a heavy car.. another factor.. ao nothing unusual.. just a cost to drive a vehicle like the LR2..
