The placard on mine does not differentiate between engines, simply listing all sizes and thus another story.

Hmmm,
Just rang another friend who has a D4 with the 3.0 & he also states it lists all 4 rim sizes ????

I would only assume it is a common part number as is used regardless of engine.

It is also the same for the RRSport !!!!

I noticed this at a dealer about 4 weeks ago.Mentioned it to the salesman,& he couldn't believe it.

Did the salesman even understand what you were talking about?

LR knows that the 3.0 doesn't need bigger brakes but is just making use of the space when 19" rims are fitted. If 17" are required with the 3.0 then fit the standard brakes. Although not a factory option for Oz, neither are 17" rims.
