Towed my son's 20-foot boat on a braked trailer up from Chichester to South London last October. Weights were on the limit.

Does he mean it was in normal driving mode during towing (ie FWD with 4WD when necessary, as opposed to a special off-road setting when Haldex is locked).

I would prepare yourself for the cost of a Diff, you may be lucky and it's Tyres or a Wheel Bearing, but I doubt it.

I had this on my 2009 manual diesel. It chopped the tyres up rapidly, drive locked up on right lock, caused by a seized handbrake cable it seems. expensive fix of new rear diff., and a new front angle box. I found out also that the engine was not original, and the car had been clocked as well. |

Have you swapped tyres left to right. As the sipes wear tyres get noisier, you get a bit of a second life with quietness swapping left to right. The rear tyres are a bit painful. Stuffing the car with acoustic insulation helps a lot, especially the rear doors. Even AT tyres are then very quiet.

Hi Jagracer, That sounds exciting! When you say 'chopped the tyres' do you mean they wore erratically, or they had lumps knocked out of them? Sorry you've had a bad experience! Thanks for your reply.

Hi Lightwater, At first I thought you'd misspelled 'sides', Then I looked up what sipes are. Thanks for the idea. I'm taking the car into JLR specialist next Friday to run it up the ramp, so we shall see.
