Wow that's brave. Does the ride height drop when over a certain speed? I seem to recall reading that that happened with the L322 although I may be imagining it. 2024 Range Rover P550e AB |

The L322 drops a tad if you stay over 100mph for more than 30 seconds Not that you can really tell |

The earlier, up to and including 2005 at least, drop when the speed consistently exceeds 65 mph. John

Wasn't that the same in the P38? I seem to remember you really feel it drop as you accelerated down the mway slip road. |

That implied there is an electronic limiter somewhere that is set for wheel size ? |

I don't think there is an electronic limiter I think it's a disclaimer. I asked my main Dealer when I got mine as I have a set of 20s for off road use and they were not aware of an electronic choice.

I was of the understanding that UK cars at least were limited to 120 or 130 MPH as an agreement between JLR & the government... |
