Hi Brian,yes i think you are one of only a very few to be so lucky.my car is now 15 months old with 17,000 miles on her and yesterday for the first time i heard a high pitched squeek when driving over a speed bump but was not suer where the sound came from.
It would be great if you could keep us informed when you find out what has been causing the problem

I'd like to put mine up for the title of 'worst'

Having said that does it have to be on the road to qualify!?!?  'Freddie' FL2 2007 GS, Sumatra Black, Manual

RIP Hugh our 90 - much loved and missed.

Err, Scuse me.......47,000 now with nothing mechanical to complain about. (I don't consider that the seatbelt rubbing is a reliability issue)
Still on the same set of front tyres with 3mm left.

I have got to be up there but am not prepared to be 2nd best, or 1st of the losers! FL2 TD4 XS Santorini

wheels too big?  At work

Have they said anything about the 20" wheels

I have heard that LR blame too large a wheel on the RRS quite often as it not designed to have 24" wheels on a RRS

I wonder if they might take the same stance with yours as officially the only offer OEM upto 19"  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

RRS problem with bigger wheels relates to cars fitted with the DR trick electro-hydraulic anti roll bars and worn bushes in the steering rather than suspension.
The problem with wheels bigger than 20" on RRS/D3 and FFRR is that the thin side wall that comes with the tyres that are put onto these big wheels ruins the ride making it feel like the air-suspension has failed as the ride becomes extremely harsh. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Which dealer do you use Brian - Morrison's, Pentland, Stratstone Perth, or one of the Glasgow dealers? How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

You guys are lucky I was on vacation, I undoubdedly own the nices looking FL2 out there. No contest really, and with the new entertainment system coming, it'll even has the best of that too. Only problem now is finding descent looking rimms to put under it, as the choises are quite limited at the moment.

Even my dealer still says everythime i speak to him, that it's the best looking one he's seen.

And i even once got a thumbs up from a pedestrian!!!!

sorry mate but in my opinion you badly need a spoiler and a decent set of wheels  2007 fl2 narvik black ,chrome mirrors,side steps,tinted windows,20" kahn wheels,6000k xenon conversion,black leather,garmin nuvi satnav,silver vision indicator bulbs,clear side repeaters.

I do agree on the wheels, tough i'm not convinced by your choise. What brand are they?
I see u don't have the spoiler yourself, but i wouldn't want one myself.
Too bad you didn't go for the tubes, you must have blue anckles by now from knocking you leg agains those surfboards.

my wheels are 20" kahns , i do have a spoiler fitted now and i think it makes a huge difference to the shape of the back end , as for the side steps i like the look of them but they are a pain in the arse.
