I bought my new-to-me D4 last September from a main dealer and he kept emphasising the advisability of always getting into the habit of parking the car in low mode as this is much easier to get in and out of. Mentally I just dismissed this advice believing it being a caring reference to my age!!!! Now I am beginning to wonder.:confused:
I might well follow that advice ;)
Didn’t occur to me before!
 
You should atleast try the warranty, dodgy brakes are a biggy with safety as it is; surely should be covered for that atleast?
No self respecting company wants to be known selling vehicles with rotten brakes and u have LR's inspection to backup your point.
 
Had my RRS’s 165 inspection today at a dealership. Most of the new vehicles (mostly Disco Sports) were parked in the low setting. Any reason for that?

Hi

Sorry just seen this , I’ve got a D3 so hopefully may be able to also help

What year is urs please, as the d3 and RRS shared a lot in common up to around 2010 when the RRS totally changed

I do lower mine to low access height , makes life easier getting in and out plus just feel it takes a bit off the suspension when parked

If I can help please feel free to ask and will try and help all I can, just trying to catch up with this thread

Parking in access just helps wear out the compressor:rolleyes: As far as the P38 is concerned, a bit of self leveling every 6 hours or so should make little difference to a fully charged battery in good condition and of adequate size.
The battery on my daily driver is coming up for 8 years old and now will only manage 2 weeks left in cold weather whatever the height settings are.
 
Of course you were treated well, they're hardly going to rough you up when you hold the credit card....they suck you in with niceties to draw attention away from inept workshop practices and front desk overuse of ink, all whilst being really nice and personable.

I'm glad you haven't surprised me.
How true, I got this guy on a TV talking to me about HP, tea coffee he had me eating out of his hand, when I cam back 4 days later telling them the battery was crap, it was a whole different game, I told them if they didn't change it for free I would hang around the forecourt telling people about the crap customer service.... they changed it
