Another thought....

I have had this problem before with cars and have messed around with tyres etc, but another thing worth checking is bushes/track rod ends/ball joints. This was one of my issues in the past....hitting surface water at speed loaded up the steering/suspension and effectively caused the car to "track" of its own accord, destabilising it and then causing it to aquaplane. On a normal dry/damp road it didn't show up as the wear had not become too severe yet

Worth checking....

Here in Portugal, road infrastructure is not optimal, and reverse cambers and little to no water run-off is commonplace where I live. We are close to mountain range and Winter is often below zero temps. Very hilly, and many roads have warning signs for ice.I have often to go through puddles of standing water, where everyone is crawling, yet I have never had the TD6 twitch, squirm or aquaplaned- on the contrary, it feels very stable and normal, as if on dry Tarmac. I agree with Wackyjim and Llyod Barnes that Vredestein Wntracs for SUVs are phenomenal.I would expect them to be, as Vreds are from the Netherlands, and believe me, those guys know what Ice and rain, is. (Ever watched the Elfsteden tochtice skating race-takes in 11 towns and is exciting to see).I place little faith in all the so-called tests by the auto-mags. They are often blinded by price, heavily biased. The vehicle driven is of a different type and I don't believe you can exterpolate the results. I always try to read OWNERS REPORTS , much more reliable I think.But after seeing the above Video, I think I will ease off the gas, slightly! Range Rover Vogue TD6 2002

i am with Fame on this one. been driving the FF for 2 years and never had any problems with aquaplanning. But I do change the tires @ 4 mm
