Tip of the Week...2

Ok here goes.....again you probably already know this or it's probably printed on page one of the manual Confused but did you know....

To re-level the air suspension after a wheel change you should first lower it onto the bumpstops, then raise to full off-road height before again lowering all the way back down on the bumpstops, switch off the ignition then restart normally and raise to normal ride height.

Useful to know even if you don't have a flat as the D3 can sometimes lean unevenly. 2005 TDV6 SE Silver/Black Manual + Alpine

I wouldn't trust that flimsy jack either so LR assist are a must.....however....you never know when it'll come in handy....could save you on a holiday abroad from spending the rest of it at a 25 degree angle Very Happy 2005 TDV6 SE Silver/Black Manual + Alpine

I had to change a tire on the side of a trail (curses against Goodyear inserted here) and the stock jack worked beautifully. It has a nice little pin on top that fits into the frame. Even though I was on a muddy/rocky trail it was quite secure.

I don't think LR Assist would have come to help me there anyway Razz '05 LR3 HSE

Exclamation LR assist mechanic told me he's seen three of the stock jacks rock off their base. LR experince also warned of it so do take care. It'll work but you have to remember the car is nearly 3 tonnes. 2005 TDV6 SE Silver/Black Manual + Alpine

Interesting, mine leans to the left most of the time. I was going to get it recalibrated at the service. I'll give this a go.
