Like I said, it has had a headlamp replaced with an adaptive unit. It should still work ok though.

Do your headlamps do a 'dance' when you turn them on?

After 13.5K miles I have a reading of 3mm in the centre and 5mm on both outer sides on all tyres. I'm running LR stated tyre pressures all round.

Based on the readings, should I reduce my tyre pressures?

Could be interesting. I drive it in a fairly spirited manner anyway!

loosely related...........not to Slimers use of DSC as a steering aid but the rest of the thread.

When viewed form front on back at rest and at normal height are the wheels vertical or angled in towards teh top slightly. Mine appear to be angled in slightly (front and Rear). Looks a bit wierd. Is this just a feature of the geometry???
 end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

Update...

Had a phone call first thing this morning from LR Customer Service with the brilliant news that they have now agreed to replace damaged tyres F.O.C.

Nice one Jan. If you think about it, that's a pretty darn fine result as even without the inner edge wear you would have been coming close to replacing them soon anyway with that mileage.

Hats off to LR.
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

uneven tyre wear

Bought the vehicle on 1st June 2006 and just noticed all 4 tyres had uneven wear on the inside after 9500 miles, took it back to Guy Salmon, Wakefield and they checked geometry and couldn't find a problem. They also downloaded some new code which they reckon alters ride height but I'm not sure it will have achieved anything. I'm now going to wait and see if the wear gets any worse but wondered if anyone else had suffered the same problem and how it was fixed
