Hi all,
This may sound a very silly thing to say...
I had a Discovery 3 S 2005, it drove like a dream and only reason for me swapping it for a 2008 was it needed alot of money spending on it for MOT and cambelt due. HOWEVER, my new 2008 Discovery 3 SE as daft as this may sound feels very wobbly on the road, what i mean by that is that when you turn the steering wheel it seems to roll about a lot and not feel as grippy on the road?
Is this just me or are the vehicle any different on the suspension? could the tires by any reason for this to be "moving" around as much on the road?
Any help would appricicated.
Regards
Mark

How much tread left on what tyres? We found that Scorpions on 3mm can make a D3 feel 'wobbly'

Two front are Scorpions with approx 3mm and rear two are budget tyres so that might make the difference then!

What wheel size on old & new Discos? This could make a difference.
Consider what tyres to fit - many threads.
