Ok thanks..i think ill go with the 265/75x16's..as they work out same size as a 31",,and are only a few mill smaller in height than my 235/85x16's,just a bit wider..not too wide hopefully that they hit anything.. ,,but i believe the 265 will not need any modifications at all,dunno if this is right..?....thanks again for all your help...

Hi,thank you for the replies,looks a bit more trouble than i first thought... ..i may settle for either 265/75x16's(works out as a 31" i believe)..or maybe a 33" as ive heard theese need little modification?..cheers..wayne.

Hi,ive been pondering on fitting a set of 34/12.1x16 tyres onto me 1990 classic..it has a 2" spring lift,but i have 2 questions...firstly,,will a 12.01 tyre squeeze onto a discovery rim?i have 235/85 x16's on at moment..and second...is there any cutting of arches or similar to make them still articulate ok..?..thanks,,,wayne.

..thanks for the replies.

hi guys,,just got a new set a 2 inch lift heavy duty springs for me rrc...and i noticed the rear srings are +50 and the fronts are +40..is this correct as i thought the front would be taller due to engine weight?...thanks for any help..cheers....wayne.

hi again,,,ok thanks for the replies again,,,been very helpfull as always..looks like its a flush out job,,just hoping the brakes dont leak when i put normal dot 4 back in..lol...cheers guys all the best...wayne.

hi,,thanks for the replies,i just took a look at the link for the red brake fluid and it does look similar,(thanks for the link m8.... ) ..is the blue fluid your old man uses thicker than normal fluid do you know mate?...if it is i spose the red stuff in it should be ok then... ,,,,thanks for help...wayne.

hi,,its a very deep red,,almost like custard in thickness...its very odd,, i thought it was just auto fluid in it,,but im not sure if it goes thicker under pressure?,,but its like no other brake fluid ive ever seen,and when i put the dot 4 in to top up,the dot 4 just sort of sank straight through it!,may be i should just flush it though an stick good old dot 4 in?..perhaps a piccy of it would help any of you guys to determain wot it is...ill post sum for you too look at,,thanks for the replies,,,

hi guys,,just went to top up me 1990 rrc 3.9 v8,,and to my shock found not nice clean brake fluid but thick red stuff in resevoir!...looks similar to auto tranny oil but thicker,,my brakes are fine just the fluid was a touch low so light was on,,any how i chucked a bit of normal dot 4 in like it says on resevoir and screwed lid back on..any ideas why this stuffs in it???..could it be auto tranny oil thats been pressureised into the thick red stuff..or am i missing summat here like theres special red fluid for the braking system on theese...and will me adding the dot 4 into it cause any probs...any help please very puzzled and you canna be too carefull when it comes to brakes can ya...all the best...wayne....

HI GUYS..IM GONNA CHANGE THE STEERING DROP ARM ON ME RRC,,,AS SHES STILL WONDERING AROUND ON THE ROAD,IVE CHANGED THE TRACK RODS ,IMPROVED A LITTLE BUT STILL QUITE BAD,SO IM DOING THE DROP ARM,,ANY POINTERS,,TIPS OR PROBS I MAY ENCOUNTER?..THANKS..WAYNE..... ..ALSO I UNDERSTAND THERE A ADJUSTER ON STEERING BOX TO TAKE UP THE SLACK,WHERE IS THIS ADJUSTER AND WHATS THE BEST WAY TO TACKLE THIS TOO,,,THANKS LOADS...

hi heres mine..nearly finished!!...

hi,mines a diy job too,after all the gr8 guys on here sent me links an piccies how to fabricate 1..(cheers guys)..usual bomb proof desighn,,b+q drain pipe,calor ducting heat proof flexi hose,southdown snorkel fitting kit and snorkel top(whitch can be rotated backwards in extreme conditions),and loads a back silicone to seal joins and water proof airbox..this is on a 1990 3.9 rrc and it works fantastic m8..if anything it gives more cold fresh air than the tiny trumpet intake on airbox....all the best.wayne.

here you go mate the piccies for you,,its bolted through the double skinned bottom of bonntet and has roll cage large washers to prevent any splitting of the bonnet in a crash,,and like ive said it is also chained to nudge bar too...hope they help.....wayne.

no probs m8,,ill take sum decent piccies first thing in the morning and post em on here for you..

hi m8,,ive mounted my 4 foot high lift across the front of the bonnet just above the range rover stickers,seems to be just fine(alough i was a little heavy handed tightning the bolts an put a tiny dent under one of the brackets..ooppsss...lol), and ive put a chain and padlock to the bull bar too(intend on keeping the jack..and handy to hold jack in case of crash e.t.c),,,can send sum piccies l8r if you like m8..all the best,wayne...

ok tyvm for all ur replies,,by sounds a it id be better off throwing the 235/16's and fitting a set of 31's instead as im told no mods are needed at all to fit them,dunno if this is right...

lol..yeah good point....

hi,,thanks for the replies,ive considerd body lifting,but doesnt that come with probs too?..like extending loom parts and steering rods..thanks again,,wayne.
