England 2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

They always do that... lots of parts wear to a point and then get tipped over when something unusual happens...

Change two tyres and the sensors have to move more than a few mm and if they were near the end of their life it tips them over the edge... rear bag, sat doing not a lot for ages, then gets extended when front drops and the additional strain on it tips it over the edge....

Ask an MOT guy how many flexible hoses he has had blow on the brake rollers... work fine at normal braking, testing it they try to lock the wheels, up's the pressure and finds the weak spot....

No consolation but hopefully that will be it now.... Thumbs Up Pete

Sorry to ask a daft question, but aren't you meant to change all 4 at once on 4wd? I've always done this as I thought the difference between rolling circumference could cause a problem

It's only the high performance 4x4 that appear to be effected.. Whistle reckon that limited slip diffs do have their disadvantages Rolling Eyes

There are some cars out there that require you keep the tyres with in 5% of each other, and these are the ones that end in tears come tyre time... Because the Range Rover has open diffs it will cope with a slight variation in tyres, although it would be an issue if you had different sizes across the axles or MT's at one end and Road tyres on the other (10+mm difference in diameter) Shocked Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...
