Can be anything from tyres, wheels, discs, steering rack or rear diff. Lots of troubleshooting to do.

Yep me too.... Can this be a coincidence that suddenly these cars are demonstrating the same characteristic fault ? I have heard of several other members having this same fault over the last month with no real outcome or fix.

In my case, this is just one of a long line of sudden faults that have sprung up in the last couple of weeks. It started with the HDC fault showing at startup, this has now progressed to "SUSPENSION Failure" now also showing which denies the option to raise or lower the car.
Having asked a question recently, a member stated it could be the battery draining which then tells the cars brain to restrict certain items, effectively the non essentials ????? So I will be getting the battery checked straight after Christmas to see if this is part of the problem. I have recently had a Blackvue camera installed with the power saver so am wondering if this extra continuous load onthe battery has had a detrimental effect on the electrical system.

Any advice / experience of the points above would be grately accepted I really need to get the vibration issue sorted as it's a worry when driving at 70mph to have such imbalance on what is normally a silky smooth ride. 2005 Rang Rover Supercharged

Jetbsgs, it's not the car restricting certain functions, it's that they are very sensitive to under voltage and a dying battery or alternator is often the first fix for spurious and multiple warnings.

Having not had a vehicle before that is as "sensitive" as a Range Rover, it's becoming a real test of my patience. My previous car was a superb Lexus 300 sport which in three years never once caused me a second of trouble. The Land Rover however has been a real eye opener of just how poor a luxury car can be !!!

It's off to get this battery checked first then, thanks for the heads up what is a very tricky problem..... 2005 Rang Rover Supercharged
