| Wheel change / suspension errors |
|
Right, fitted me 17" wheels today, previously did a trial fit with the expected suspension error 
Except that today, not through planning, but completely without thinking about it - no error 
How so? well, I left the radio on
no 'fart' as previously
no error message
seems that the data bus is being held open for the suspension as well, yes, the level transducers moved, but did not attempt to level as previously
so it looks like LR have carefully studied the average garage grease monkey's habits and configured the car so that when the radio is on and volume set to 'ear bleed' everything works properly  TorqTune

Never mind that, what is the noise level like?

had to put ear defenders on the dog and loosened a couple of ridge tiles on next door's roof as the yoofs would say 'bangin man' TorqTune

i was on about the radio there's a bit of rumble from the tyres, although most of it is harmonic, at the right speeds, most of it disappears TorqTune

How about balance as Garry used very little balance weight material as they appeared quite good?

balance is fine... although one wheel has 80g on the outer rim TorqTune

I assume that the your TDV6 Disco 3 has smaller breaks then my V8 LR3 right? That is why you were able to put the 17" rim on?
Thanks,
