    RRS Wheel Alignment Specs?

    Hi,
    Anybody have the wheel alignment specs for the RRS TDV8? Local alignment guy says he put everything 'straight', whatever that is......

    Thanks!

    If you didn't get LandRover to put the computer on and lower it to "alignment situation" which it then has to be driven at no more than about 8kms/hr to the alignment place or he had the software program (or a Faultmate etc) to do it, he did not do it.
    I had the same BS from an alignment centre until I learnt of this. I was told the old line, we know what we are doing, done heaps !.
    Get it done at a LR Dealer who has the alignment facility. I had the D3 done recently and it was about $130. Here are the specs anyway.

    Agreed, get it done at a dealership. I did mine twice outside, and still could not get the car alignment sorted.

    When I had my D4 alignment locally without TT mode havnig been set, I removed the main air suspension fuse while the engine was running once it had levelled on the platform so that it couldn't re-level downwards during the alignment. The alignment was just within tolerances but the tolerances are so generous that the tyres were wearing in multiple respects. The operator set the alignment much closer to the nominal specs except for giving the left front a bit more caster. I'll find out in a few months what the wear improvement is but it certainly steers left and right more evenly now.

    ummm, Im not pretending to be a guru, I'm just passing on what the Perth LandRover Service Manager told me last month.
    I also have access to a very recent digital workshop manual which states as such.
    No doubt you can align at any height you wish.
    Having managed a few workshops there is always somebody that says " thats all crap" to certain procedures a workshop manual or dealer representative states to do.
    Also being a Mine Maintenance Planner and having training in Failure Diagnosis, Warranty Claiming etc etc, my experience is to do it "by the book" so there is no doubt ever of who is at fault when the s#&@ hits the fan.

    im just going off what im told when in landrover AUS training in sydney,, theres no need to pull fuses eather, thats just going to put meaning less codes into the car, and when it comes to fault finding we have supply circuit faults and we can be chasing nothing, happens all to often,
