There are three basic heights: access, normal, off road.

I put together a PDF copy of the Owner's Handbook and Quick Start Guide for the 2012/13 cars, which you can download from here if you wish.

I never knew this and had been doing so - just without the brake on. Thank you |

Never bothered about vehicle moving, only ever changed it with brakes off and transmission in neutral if I've wanted to change it, although never really use it that much.

Yes Col, brakes off, transmission in neutral is just as good, but I to tell people to do it on the move as many sit with a foot on the brake unconsciously when stationary with the engine running. By moving slowly, you know nothing is going to get stressed in the suspension. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

If you park up on a level bit of road, put the handbrake on, wind down the window, get out and then reach in through the open window (suspension won't move with the door open), you can watch the front wheel rotate ever so slightly as it moves through the heights. It's not much, admittedly, but if it wants to move then there will be a lot of torque built up somewhere if it's prevented from moving. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |
