Netherlands 

My car goes tomorrow to Continental Tyres, I have over 3 months problems
with these tyres.
In The Netherlands Land Rover doesn`t deliver the RRS TDV6 with the continental tyres anymore, they changed them but they are not transparant about the problems.
The problems are vibritions in the whole car and the steeringwheel.
I am absoluut not satisfied the way Land Rover tried to solve my problems, I have to wait a long time for a solution and have often to call the dealer myself

Interesting to hear I was not the only person to have his issue.

At least you can learn from my experience and get it fixed quickly without lots of trips to the dealer to try and solve it (hopefully!) L319 D4 HSE

yep thanks RRUK - dealer was saying it may because I fitted 20" wheels... but I know it should not be drifting ** this much ** - it's quite noticeable.. I just hope they can do a 4 wheel alignmnet under warranty, rather than me having to pay out at a tyre dealers ... Range Rover Sport TdV6HSE Bonatti Grey 20" FE Stormer wheels, Privacy Glass, Mats, Boot Mat, black badges, SC grille and vents

Hi my car was drifting/pulling very noticeably. They did the allignment and no change. I got them to do the allignment again and then it was perfect. There was never any question of them charging me. I have put on 20" wheels as well and there is no way that this would cause pulling. 2013 New Range Rover Sport HSE SDV6

Drift

Mine seems to drift to the right (which would be consistant since I'm in America and we drive on the other side of the road). That said, my steering wheel is aligned a few degees to the left, which means that when I have it positioned perfectly straight the car goes to the right. Anybody else have a steering wheel that is off a bit? '06 RRS HSE Chawton White/Alpaca Lux/PTI/Sirius

Sounds like the issue I had with mine, it would run off to the left and if I centred the steering wheel it would run over to the right. Was fixed though with the 4 wheel alignment.

I have downloaded the GTR doc detailing how the dealer is supposed to align the wheels. L319 D4 HSE
