Just went to the start of the thread and you are still on 21" wheels with 45 profile tyres? Maybe worth seeing if you can borrow a set of 20"? I can tell mine get harsher with just 10% higher than stock tyre pressures and I can imagine a lower profile tyre would be harsher still. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

If I knew someone to borrow a set off then I would try them.

I suggest dropping the pressures to 25psi all round and going for a very gentle and short drive to see what it feels like. IME sidewall compliance is the main suspension component responsible for dealing with low speed road imperfections. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Does a voltage drop to 9 volts when cranking seem okay/normal?

Reading a review of the L460 and this is what they have to say about the L405.
