I like this feature, and quite used to it as every car I have had with a rear wiper does this.

The difference between clean rear windows and dirty ones - I've pulled the fuse from the RR's rear wiper.

Sure you have to adjust the way you drive it but you have to do that with the TR system anyway. And now I have the Maxxis AT 980 tyres on I don't think there is much difference between the 18's and 19's. You just need to be "aware".
Anyway my two cents.

Hi Scott, I just bought myself a 2016 Graphite TDV6 and after owning a D3 with 18 inch wheels I am unsure as to how the 19's will go in the sand as I spend most my time on the beach south of Mandurah in WA.
I am pleased to hear you are happy with the 19's.
What pressure do you drop the tyres down to in the sand Scott?
Thanks

And good ones at that ;)

For such an overall great standard vehicle it's still a big PITA

Hi dwaters
Depends on the sand but a good start is around 20psi. If I don't know the beach I start from here and air down further as needed. Have been as low as 12psi, obviously care is needed.

But it goes to show that LR actually build vehicles that will pass the swerve tests..

Most others won't pass our swerve ADR in stock form

Oh, and the fuel tank will not take the high flow diesel nozzle.
Good thread, shows you'll never please everybody.

Every other vehicle i have had,apart from LR's, has never had this feature,and i don't miss it at all.

Where it is a PITA is when the rear window is covered in mud,the vehicle is loaded,so you can't see out the rear window anyway,let alone have the wiper come on and scrape itself over the mud.
Even if the fronts are in intermittent and there is hardly any rain it still comes on.

Anyway,as others have said,good thread,sometimes we will agree to disagree:D:D
