At the begining of the year I bought a 3 year old disocvery 3 from Land Rover Stratstone dealer. After driving home a found it to be pulling to the left - long story short my LR dealer found that one tyre had a 50 profile and the rest 55 so they put it down to that.
Got the correct tyre and it still pulls to the left. i just changed the front wishbone arms and after getting it aligned even the garage found it strange and when I told him about the wrong size tyre profile he believed that it may have done something to the diff!
Contacted LR where I bought it and they say to get a diagnostic check but my local LR say that this would not show up anything if it was the diff and investigation could cost a substantial amount.
Now I am lost on what to do. I dont drive the car much I have an old trusty 300tdi but the wife uses it with the kids.
Just wondering what anyones thoughts are? I does pull quite bad and worse when you hit a bump or something.

I'm not sure what the issue is but I'm assuming when the dealer has said it could be expensive you have at least a years warranty? I'd be pushing for full investigation.

yes I still have just over a years warranty but that seems useless as I have to pay for the investigation then try to claim it back if it is is due to the tyre.
If they find a problem and cant tie it to the wrongly fitted tyre im going to be out off pocket and no car for a period of time.
