Very nice

MY14 Discovery 4, 7 seater TDV6.

It can't (won't ?) be programmed, as it is a "safety" feature. If the car automatically lowered, there is a risk of someone, or something, being under it.

Trust me, you will soon get into a pattern of as you pull up, you just reach down with your left hand, and push the button.

The family has even been trained to wait until the car lowers, or they will fall out

Oh, and if you feel you want side steps, leave the car in extended mode each time SWMBO needs to get in & out. The comment that, "wow, this is high. You should get some side steps" usually takes about 3 days, or 5 "climbs"

Actually, it is D3!

[QUOTE=wbowner;2093736]While picking my car up I heard and then talk to one of the sale men saying he had received a note from LR saying that they can not install LR bars on MY14 Discos - any model.

My salesman mentioned that the front sensors appeared to be in different locations to previous models. This could explain above. I am unsure if any change to rear sensor locations

So my question is:- does any one know whether there is now NEW issues with ARB bull bar installations and Kaymar rear bars with respect to the sensors for the MY14 .

If that is the only reason, would there be a problem with installing the front sensors in the existing location of the current ARB bar? I don't see the option for a factory bar in the 'configure' on the LRA website!

I am unsure why I was just guessing. Bound to be other reasons. The sales guy could not understand why either.

Not sure why it isn't on the website.

Not if you were offroad or in some scenario where lowering it would drop it onto something!!!!

As mentioned by Basil... It becomes second nature to tap the button as you are approaching your destination. The vehicle then commences lowering once vehicle speed lowers and by the time you stop and idle down (10 seconds or so) you're good to go!!!!

As one salesman once told me in the final stages of buying a previous vehicle "Best I can do is I can lower you sale price by $1k, or increase your trade-in by $1k, but not both. Choose whichever one makes you happy..."
