i do believe i read somewhere once that it has been known for some light surface rust to appear in rare cases.
ahh but thats prob after a poor accident repair then
-

i used to work for mercedes commercials and thought the sprinter engine was great
my break down van was a 316 lwb all ways loaded to the hilt and that flew along
the smaller 4 pots were still good too

o he knows the error of his ways now lol
(he is used to modern tat that has auto lights)
but battery is duff anyway so still needs a new one (wont take a charge properly anymore)
rob

just looking for a normal battery that will hold out a bit longer really so going for size to try and gain that
unless there are better options for sensible money

at least your getting your money back tho chap so small bonus there

any drop in temp means the starter has to work that bit harder
but yeah you defo need to clean/replace your eart leads

Cool, that's not as bad as what I thought then!! Hope it is that. Just worth cleaning the earth strap that goes to the starter motor then? Strange thought as it worked yesterday!
it was prob colder this morning meaning the starter was working harder to turn it over tho

lol would be good seeing one winching it self out of a muddy bomb hole

rob

unreliable and underpowered in a landy

no idea but why would you want no anti roll bars?
you can just remove them as long as bars and drop links are removed will pass the mot fine

hi all whats the biggest battery i can fit on a 90 truck cab?
looking for physical size so it lasts longer when my dippy mate leaves his lights on again too
also best place to buy it from too
thanks rob
-
as said rust over and above all (well within reason) mechanicals
just make sure it drives smooth through all gears and revs steering does as it should then look for rust EVERYWHERE
hope that helps

my 265,s had no trimming on the rrc
and my mate has 255 65 16 on a stock disco so i would go for the 265,s so it looks the part from the off
as for settling in they dont drop much at all chap but then the rrc does have the boge shock on the ball joint so they might a little on a disco

i replaced mine too, and the squealing came back in under 200 miles. from memory it is a 6203 bearing i think, but it is sealed both sides. google simply bearings and you can get them there better and cheaper than ebay.
anyway, the fix i found was to fit a washer in 9 o'clock position behind the tensioner and bolt it tight. it stopped the squealing straight away and i have several thousand miles under it and the engine now lives in another disco too.

or a penny coin in the right thickness too

sorry wrong first pic there try this one instead
rob
-
i did say dont belive there lift specs as there out
that said throw a set of 265 75 16,s on it and will look lots better
the rangie in the pic below had the same rear springs then i put the 265,s on in 2nd pic for a idea

hi and welcome
to be fair both sound fairly normal
a disco is a big heavy car and isnt built for racing starts so does upset them a little and the r380 gearbox isnt the smoothest one in the world so give it a oil change and monitor it but dont worry too much

i used to have a tom tom but it died on me so i got a garmin nuvi 255w with full euro mapping and as said above the address input is not the best(you have to tell it if your looking for addys in wales for example)and while it works ok i have known it send me some silly ways to places (even different ways to the same place!!) so i will be going back to tom tom when this one packs up
