Anyone driven in Europe with RHD

Hi ALL

Ordering my D4 on Tuesday Very Happy
I have a question. When driving a RHD D4 n France will the steering pull to the right ?. I I ask because my Lexus RX400h did which is why I sold it.

I have had 5 RR's before and they were OK in France, hoping the D4 is the same.

I can't imagine why any car should pull to the right in France any more than it might pull to the left over here, given that they may have a very slight tendency to follow the camber on the road.

I've driven plenty of UK cars around Europe over the last few years and never really noticed them pulling either way.

Tho my RRS is LHD I have no problems with it when I'm back in the UK, dosn't pull either way. My MG is RHD and I dont have any problems with it pulling to either side either here or in the UK.

Have driven to Gemany/ Munich no problems just don't forget about tinting your lights and its also compulsory to have a first aid box a set of bulbs and fuses ect and recently also introduce the use of high vis jackets when driving in Europe. The Facist cops overthere will recognise your number plate is from the uk and will puposely stop you if your unluky and will check whether you haave the kit above, otherwise on the spot fine.
Enjoy

When you say Europe, I guess you mean Continental Europe? Whistle
Just as a reminder the UK is part of Europe, geographically for sure, if not politically.... Mr. Green

Well, my D3 is certianly pulling to the right, but so is my Mercedes.

Thanks for the replies guys and yes when I say Europe I mean France Italy Spain and the like.
Feeling better ordering the D4 now as my first 5 RR's were on beam axels and not the modem independent suspension so I don’t know how they behave.

I go twice a year for 8 weeks at a time doing 3000 miles a go so I did not want to have to keep a slight left lock on all the time on them long streight roads, with the caravan on the back its can be a long job at 100KPH.

Shocked Must be a German (or Berlin) thing as it is not the case in France, Portugal or Spain. But franckly, I doubt it very much.

Went on the Land Rover Experience course yesterday afternoon and the instructor tows his caravan with his D3 in France a lot and reports no problems. Thumbs Up

Good to know and makes me feel better. Just cant wait for the car to be built now Very Happy
