Evoque Style 6 & 7 20"s have 245/45 tyres and as I have found out none of my 12 RRS/FFRR wheels will fit the hubs of an Evoque Big Cry so I have a lot of wheels for sale over on the RRS and D3 forums


Will let you know how I get on.
Couldn't risk buying a set of 2nd handers in the UK cause every set I looked at over here (even Orig) were bent somewhere. Shipping from UK would be massive money, and if they weren't straight.... lost cause!

The remaining wheels I have for sale are all genuine LR wheels and have come off my own or family member's cars when new but as the tyres are not the right profile for FFRR I'm not selling them on FFRR's for sale section, they are RRS and D3 wheels after all and who on FFRR wants bling RRS wheels on their FFRR.....................

You'd want to see the Bling 22" KAHN RSX wheels that were on it when I bought it!!!
Looking too much like a property developer, which isn't such a good image in Ireland these days, so I am in the process of De-Blinging a lot of the KAHN kit..... but the quad pipes give a lovely exhaust tone with the TDV8. They have to stay..... just getting the pipe ends powder coated Black.

As I do very little mileage (use motorbikes most of the time), the aftermarket replica alloys are a compromise.

Out of interest.. because I'm cynical... did you remain with the car when it went to the FFRR guy?

Just thought that someone unscrupulous may have swapped compressors with a knackered one... hope this isn't the case. 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS

Yeah. I was stood beside the TYRE guys while they re-balanced the wheels. When I drove off it was a case of "WTF is that noise"? FullFat Porridge

once you turn off the ignition ,be it in access or standard mode, the compressor shouldn't BE able to work ....


Scary my compressor comes on with key out and with tail gate open. The other week I jacked it up (tailgate and doors shut) and it tried to level itself and I lowered the jack and the RR sat low then suddenly the compressor came on and leveled the suspension.....was displaying air susp inactive so I ways supprised compressor came on.

Also I have been putting the tyre in the boot after a roadside pucture before with tailgate open and compressor came on...

Not sure if it should but mine does this!
