I bloody hope not!

I too cant understand how different size wheels can cause viabrations at stand still!

Think the consensus is that diesel knock isn't damped on the lower profiled tyres hence the vibration at standstill...!

Ok thats good shouldnt give any troubles to anything then.

My 4.4 does the same...just use N at the lights, did a GB fluid change a short while ago, couldn't see anything untoward so keeping an eye on things!

How many miles are you on now Saint? Mine is at 65K so hoping the gearbox and TC will go for a good while yet....!

I do plan on a gearbox oil change at some point soon though. Been in there 10 years now....

Well worth changing it now then before anything bad happens. 10 years is way too old for oil.

I also need to tell the car it has different size wheels for the speedo?
How do i do that?

Providing the profile of the tyres are correct, it won't make a difference.

Not a Range Rover but I went from 18s to 20s on my Discovery adjusted the tyre size to suit so rolling radius was as close to standard as possible, as TD5's never came on 20s.

Speedo is pretty good, but the ride from the low profile tyres has been affected, no where near as nice as it was.
