    Question Wheel alignment

    In the process of replacing all tyres on the D4 and am after collective wisdom as too whether to use the Nanocom Evo to lock the suspension in access height or just level it at road height and then open a door or room fuse. I will be using a Bridgestone dealership for the tyres (D697's) and wheel alignment but not sure if they are familiar with LR's air suspension etc.
    Alternatively do I just drop it off and let them go for it? (not my preferred option).
    Thanks in advance.

    Use your Nanocom to put it into "Tight Tolerance Mode" when you get there and let them do the alignment. Having said that, when I got my D4 done with D697s 18" on they had to fiddle around a bit before it stopped pulling to the left. Best to ask the dealer if they have had experience with D4s to give you more confidence in their ability too. Seeing if your local LR independent guy knows a decent place to go to is always a good start.

    Fuse option doesn't work as the suspension has a 10mm tolerance at each corner so can be a total of 20mm out across the vehicle..

    Put it in TTM using the Nanocom.

    To stop it pulling left add 1/2 a degree castor on left wheel

    And to clarify - putting the vehicle into Tight Tolerance Mode is not the same as Locking it in Access Height - completely different.

    Don't lock in access height for a wheel alignment as the car needs to be at normal ride height when the alignment is done.

    Thumbs up Wheel alignment

    Sounds like it's TTM via Nanocom.
    Thanks for the prompt replies they are appreciated.

    Cheers

    I'm guessing at this point, if one doesn't have the right tools at this point, the thing to do is take it to the dealer to get hem to do this for you ??

    I'll be doing mine soon, and not sure if the tool will be here on time or not yet,,, course it'll help when I've actually ordered it

    Some wheel alignment places have a TTM tool which will put the vehicle in and out of TTM. If you don't have a tool, may be worth asking around to see if anywhere has one. This also shows that they work with EAS vehicles enough to warrant the purchase.

    Chops. If you're not out of alignment (having a problem) I would suggest leaving it alone..

    Mine went hard offroad 95,000km before it needed an alignment and that was because I replaced the bushes..
