#634 of 647 Re: Impressed with the RRS S/C [british_rover] by bgsntth Jul 16, 2007 (3:47 pm)
Replying to: british_rover (Jul 16, 2007 3:33 pm) Thanks British Rover,   I would pay and extra $1-2K for Dynamic Response on the LR3. LR Experience went out of its way to demonstrate the axle articulation on the course, which I kept thinking was insane given the relatively stiff suspension tuning and flat cornering on the tarmac-I was waiting for endlinks to snap. Did not even think of the Dynamic Response uncoupling the sway bars when it was in low-range at the time. Makes sense now, "hindsight is 20/20".

Replying to: bgsntth (Jul 16, 2007 3:47 pm) Exactly that is the trick part of the Dynamic Response package.   It gives you a fairly firm suspension when you need it. Almost no body roll because of the active sway bars but without the bone jarring ride normally associated with minimal body roll suspensions. Finally the sway bars can disconnect in low range for better axle articulation.   The LR3 already has 13 inches of rear wheel travel. I bet it could pick a couple of inches with sway bar disconnects and still have less body roll.   Porsche liked Dynamic response so much they copied it for the new Cayenne and called it PASM.

#638 of 647 Re:the stock 19" tires suck by rrstiressuk Dec 12, 2007 (11:02 pm)
Replying to: tpacar79 (May 30, 2006 6:13 am) First I love the rig. RRS is awesome. But i must say the tires are the worst pieces of (&^$ out there. I had vibrations issue> then later sound issues coming form my tires!! My dealr thought i was crazy but eventually they replaced the tires that seemed oddly worn. Ok> now it has been 6 months and 4k miles and yes - 2 of the tires are worn down quite a bit to wear i really need to buy new ones or - fight the dealer if i want to be at least safe driving in snow.   Anybody else have this problem - tires are: Cross Contact 255/50 R 19" > i believe the part# is RRC502280MNH.   No - im not 19 and peal out all over the place --im 43 and kinda pissed that we spend all this money on a car and they obviously dont put a SAFE tire on it let alone a recomended one for optimum performance under regular use - ones that the engineers who spent millions in design, R&D etc would say - these are the tires that should be on it - what else can i not trust that they skimmed on???? Please Help -

Replying to: jinpower (Aug 09, 2006 11:55 pm) I had the noise and it turned out to be my tires - the repalced them - but with the same crap stock ones (crosscontact 255/50 R 19"). I would just go out and get new ones - i have to all over again myself......

Replying to: taylorl (Jan 03, 2008 6:55 pm) In the end, I found out that my insurance company had suggested replacing all the wiring harnesses, but the service department never got the message. They spent 5 months repairing wires and guessing. When I finally went down there with a car-dealer friend of mine, he asked them a few questions and then said he'd fix it for me. The next day I called them and said I had a tow truck coming to get it. That very same day, they called and said they replaced a wiring harness and the vehicle was ready. I traded it in the next week on an '08 BMW 335i and haven't regretted it yet. I tell all my friends to stay away from any Land Rover product.
