Wheel change / suspension errors

Right, fitted me 17" wheels today, previously did a trial fit with the expected suspension error Rolling Eyes
Except that today, not through planning, but completely without thinking about it - no error Shocked
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 Wink

Never mind that, what is the noise level like?

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,
