2005 LR3 Newbe - 4/19/2008 9:01:46 PM    ecf716   Posts: 4 Joined: 4/19/2008 Status: offline Just purchased a 05' LR3 (26K) The back tires are worn (pretty much evenly with some feathering towards inside edge). I am assuming I need to contact the nearest LR dealer and ask for the suspension fix consistent with the Tech Bullietins? Also, I noticed upon starting the vehicle air compressor runs and the height adjusts (upward 1" or so). When turned off the height adjusts downward. Is this normal? Or is it possible there is a leak? Thanks in advance. Post #: 1

There are literally hundreds of posts on much better choice of tires for the LR3. Check them out and deside. The downward adjustment on the ride height sounds fairly common when turning it off. It's adjusting the height to no longer having the weight it was carrying. However not sure I have noticed mine adjusting upward everytime I start it. But again, I'm a fairly light weight. If you are a full size man then perhaps it is normal for you. _____________________________ 2006 LR3 HSE / 2004 Discovery II SE / NCLR Member (in reply to ecf716) Post #: 2

I am not a big real big guy (6'4", 220lbs) so not sure it is adjusting for my weight. I'll ask the dealer and  let you know what they say. Thanks again! (in reply to ecf716) Post #: 4
