    I would be very surprised if there are any that don't creek when changing height while stationary. With independant suspension, when changing height the track (distance across between tyres) changes. The stress on suspension components as the tyres are dragged sideways across the pavement is considerable. The wheelbase also changes slightly, so if your foot is hard on the brakes, watch it move when released.

    If the car is rolling even at the slowest rate, the noises should not be there. Mine doesn’t make noise if on sand either for obvious reasons. As a rule, I don’t make changes while stationary on hard surfaces, even parked on grass it’s not real happy.

    Read somewhere that you should go to access height before you stop.

    I think it is in the manual somewhere. I usually do it on the move, but sometimes pull up and SWMBO complains I've forgotten about her short legs again, so sometimes I just do it in the carpark. Could be why I need new bushes all around...

    There has just appeared a 2004 TD Rangie on carsales in Victoria. The car has done 125k and looks in perfect nick. The dealer wants $36,800 which is a 10k premium on the Petrol. Otherwise colour etc all looks good.

    Is there any bargaining power on the diesel or are they just that sought after? Seems 4-5K overpriced to me.

    Yep, haggle about $7K off whatever they are asking - this will cover a trannie rebuild when the time comes...

    But seriously, you can bargain hard on these, they are slow sellers at both car yards and privately. Go back each week and offer them $1000 less each time...

    The diesel has had a 10k premium pretty much since they started turning over 2nd hand.

    What is the build date? Transmision was changed 03/2004.

    The compliance on Carsales is listed as 06/2004. I guess this doesn't mean it was necessarily manufactured before the date you suggested.

    Did LR fix the issues with the 5 speed past this date?

    You could get a Mrs who is nearly 6 feet tall like mine. Saves all the hassles of lowering the suspension, moving the seat and mirrors, etc.

    Mind you, a new Mrs will cost you a hell of a lot more than new suspension bushes!

    Well, I have picked up the Rangie this morning and am driving it back to NSW from Melbourne as we speak (good way to test the car within the 5000km statutory warranty).

    The car is immaculate and runs very well. The gearbox is completely smooth when changing and no slap when placed in reverse. The only issue I can find is that the steering wheel telescopic feature doesn't work(sounds like the motor in the steering wheel is not engaging). The up and down works fine but not the telescope. I imagine this isn't that tricky to fix and I may be able to get it fixed under my warranty. If anyone has any hints as to the eased this fixI would be all ears!

    First impressions is a very refined vehicle, plenty of power for a 6cyl diesel and good economy so far (readout is 9.2 l/100km).

    I am already at the stage where I could just stand and stare at the car (I love the British racing green!)
