I think it is saying it's too heavy, park brake error, hdc error, limited gears and limited traction messages.

It's a heavy load but surely it should be able to cope with it.

I doubt it'll be heavy - it might just be a coincidence. Do a soft reset. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

BTW how big are the boxes, I doubt they weigh more than 5 adults sitting in the car. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

i took back 10 boxes of 10x10 travertine tiles in my FL2 and it kept perfectly level, also had 27sqm of Marble floor tiles in without issue, though the nose did feel lighter with that one with the bonding and grout in

i doubt 6 boxes will have made much difference on a RRS unless your talking very large tiles Wink

They are taking up about half of the rear space with the seats folded down, each one takes a couple of people to lift in and out.

six boxes of tile that requires 2 men to lift them in does sound quite heavy

even if it didn't throw a fit, a RRS is not a pickup truck and is there not a max permissible load for it to carry legally

That's fair enough, just surprising really.

It's totally lost the plot now even after reset.

"Should have bought a transit."

No you should have bought the tow pack and hired a trailer! Laughing

thats what tow bars are for and why I get one with every car.
hook up a trailer and RR wouldnt have an issue with that load at all.

4 boxes - Approximately what weight are we talking about here?

And did you try raising suspension and lock and loading again? Whistle Vadim A.
