So i ordered the Gap tool, also 2 new front air struts, should be here Monday, so ill ne putting them on this week
looking at getting the Contiental terraincontact a/t on tire rack before vacation in September
lately i have the tick at cold start for a few seconds, which after some research sounds like the vvt, anyone have any luck with it. Im going to first do an oil change it has been 4k since i did it. I usually use mobile 1 full synthetic, any better out there or different weight. I was going to get the k&n filter also
I use Castrol 5/30 per specs by LR. A bit pricey but it seems to be working to keep within the recommended change cycle.
Only change every 7000 mi with filter and new drain plug that I order from AB on sale. I also use the stock air filter as I have heard negative chatter on the K&N.
the GAP tool might help you solve some issues like you seem to have.

Definitely using the stock air filter, i was going to use the k&n oil filter. I saw a post by disco mike a wile back recommending to use the mobile 1, k&n, or royal purple oil filters, i have done some searching and mobile 1 does not make theirs anymore
With the help of my Rover Tech friend, and the GAP tool, adjusted the ride height from stock to add an inch to ride height and a bit more for off road height on my LR3. Haven't used the extra height that is already programmed into the off road height in rock and off road mode, that's next on another trip.
Did not go to the limit of the adjustments that are possible using the GAP tool.
The height difference is visibly noticeable so I am looking forward to the gain in clearance for some of the trails in CO.
Not too worried about COG as I rarely carry things on the RR except off road and I am aware of the limitations in doing that.
The nice thing is that the access height is not affected by doing these adjustments.
Just replaced both front struts, took a total of 2ish hours fromnset up to driving, went smoother than i expected. Originally only driver side was leaking but I replace both anyway
Tools used Drivers side complete Passenger side complete Passenger side complete Installed one upper nut and removed heat shield bracket to tighten down Air line nut Old passenger side Drivers side, used the knuckel ratchet to tighten back nut, worked really well, also used the 12mm i cut in half to tighten the air line nut, also worked really well Old drivers side
