This may have been posted before. I have a RRS 2013 HSE. Has anyone ever had any bother getting these in or out of multi story car parks? |

Only problem I had was High curbs! Done one of my diamond cut rims! Was not a happy bunny. Also spaces are not big enough! Mind you, always use the underground car park in Covent Garden when I visit London. But normal car park charges do not apply. MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.

then press the button and drop it to access height and lock it down in access (that's what it is there for!). Once you leave the car park remember to unlock it otherwise you will get the dreaded bongs from the dash and a warning on the screen that the speed is restricted to 30mph until you unlock the button. To lock it down press the the lowering button and hold until you hear the gong, to unlock press again until you hear the bong again! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I've never had problems. The RRS is lower than the Discovery and the FFRR don't forget. The steering lock is excellent - the RRS has a tighter turning circle than many saloon cars although RRS2 is not nearly as good as the original was. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Yes, but you wouldn't look for how to do it unless you knew there was a way of doing it. |

You have never noticed the little padlock icon beside the suspension height switch and wondered what it meant? Tut Tut I would get a set of steps out and look at your car roof, especially if you have parked in any car park with a hanging height barrier with 2.1m or lower marked on it...............

Never had a problem in multi storey car parks, but must admit I also always lower and lock suspension on entering. John

The coating on my buttons is still fine (22 months, nearly 16k miles) and I use the height buttons quite a bit too. Even though MY16 has auto access height and I have enabled it, I still manually lower the car while parking and raise it when setting off. Old habit from previous RRSs. Use off-road height fairly regularly too.

Not only had I never noticed the padlock, I just had to go and look to check I even had one! Having said that, I've never parked in a multi-storey car park either, so not been at risk. (In my defence, I don't actually use the low setting as I rely on my deployable side steps for access). However, not noticing the padlock after four month's ownership is nothing compared with some things I've missed in the past - I had a car for five years and was cleaning the foot-well to trade it in when I accidentally found out that it had got an adjustable steering column (it fell on my head when I bumped into the operating lever!). The last car I sold had a compartment in the boot in which I found a warning triangle and that was also the day I traded it in! |
