Yes I see but I would hesitate to put 235 on a Range even if they are factory sizes. Everything I have seen has the 255 version on them.

7.5J x 18 255/60 R18 112 H or V- All
8J x 18 235/65 R18 110 H - Winter
8J x 18 235/65 R18 110 H N Y
8J x 18 255/60 R18 112 H or V N Y
8J x 19 255/55 R19 111 H or V- All
8.5J x 20 255/50 R20 109 V- All

LR must be happy with it as they even offered those 7.5j width rims.

I guess its to help appeal to anyone who may have wanted more aggressive offroad tyres as the 235/18 is a more common size for rough stuff. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Having driven extensively with both I haven't noticed much difference. Maybe you would on the later cars with much better brakes. Laughing

Ah, nothing says 'winter do your worst' like a set of Wintracs, apart from maybe a set of Michelin Alpin.

Designed by Giugiaro apparently. I didn't know that.

Funny, before today my tilt and reach steering wasn't working. Given it had stopped in the correct position and that I hated it retracting every time I turned it off I wasn't bothered. Had new tyres fitted today and had the tracking of all 4 wheels done and now the reach is working again.....?

Nice having the car track straight and true and smooth the tyres are nice and smooth.

Wish the engine was as smooth as the tyres. Laughing

How'd I do that - swap it out for a V8?

Seriously,
Some two stroke or mix in good bio for a few tanks to clean the system and injectors out as well as the cylinder bores.

Less serious option,
Turn it off
Turn radio up louder

I must admit the engine did sound better when I connected my phone with bluetooth and drowned it out with Led Zeppelin! Thumbs Up

£35 on decent Diesel Injector/Engine cleaner is a good option for all higher mileage Diesels. I actually works I promise Thumbs Up

Have a look at the mothballs and snake oil ingredients on the side of said bottles, is be surprised if any other them did much.

Cetane booster is more likely to have a better effect but BioD has been shown to get engines clean and keep them clean a lot better and more gentler than the rest Smile FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

KP your RR has not moved for months (dead) due to injector problems having run it on Bio Diesel etc. Rolling Eyes

I can tell you categorically that the Diesel Cleaner I mention above CURES injector stutter and other related issues within 30 miles. Fact.
