What you are experiencing seems to be common with the RRS

thanks both for your comments, and if it's that a common challenge then it's even more disapointing that it's not been fixed. I'm working with them on a full refund so this seems to substantiate my claim, given that it's a known problem.

I had the same about 3 years ago. Tried everything like wheels, tyres and even a new steering rack. Turned out to be the rear diff which was replaced under warranty. |

Funny this, I just put mine down to a characteristic, but since changing from the standard continentals to goodyears, I have had no vibration, what boots are on yours??

Hey all, this is getting interesting now, common ground, and not knowing that there were others with the problem.

Mines going in - not because of the morning thing, but because its wobbling the steering when braking from 70mph to 50mph and that seems dangerous

It had a very gentle first 1000 actually and it did it almost from the start...

I leave mine in the garage sometimes for about a month and dont get any flat spots on the tyres. Not yet any way. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black. |

thanks for the comments folks, so after leaving the car parked in my companies undercroft from Friday to Sunday afternoon, it certainly was not as bad as it normally is after parking outside my house overnight.

The Lr response is typical of their attitude - I have contis with no tread on edges after 10k, steering vibration and knocking suspension but got similar response from Lr and stealer
