that might be there official line but i can see no reson not to, personally i'd just change them and keep an eye on it if your worryed i bet if you ask a LR dealer they don't know that either.
just checked discovery manual (land rover one) theres no metion of number of studs that can or cannot be changed so like i said i'd just change them.

from what your saying your use is the same as mine(though mine is my daily driver as well
) in which case i would say 100" is easyer to live with day to day trust me i know . it's less harsh on props and running gear plus slightly more storage etc.mike
-
it's purely down to personal preferance mines 100" and a friend (perv) is 88". what use are you intending as that makes a big differance

it was definatly an interesting site like nige says a fair bit of panel damage and that was just the marshals. most i spoke to seemed to enjoy it and the farmer seemed happy so hopefully will be able to go back in the future watch this space
. any way many thanks to those that marshaled for us even managed to leave the site at a resonable time which is very rare indeed.

you know my number

just a thought but could you graft part of the bhd and the centre tunnel section of the disco shell (not normally rusty) into the middle of the freelander shell as this would give you all the correct clearance you need. it would need some thought on the dash etc though

somebody else on here was interested in me making a complete fibreglass tunnel to suit the auto box if enough people want them and i can get some pics of whats required then i'll make some up if thats any help

i'm sorry you don't agree with the seat belt rule but quite frankly it saves more lives than it ends and as i'm one of the people that gets to help pick brains up before the ambulance arrives tough

when this first happened to me i just cut them back a bit and re soildered them and then when building the tomcat cut them out completely as early discos didn't have them or fuses at all. if your going fuses i would look at a 300tdi wiring diagram as they use fuses so you can work out what size fuses you need iirc at least one is 100 amp although your alternator is only 65amps i think

sika 512 is UV safe but better for sealing
sika 291 is an adesive/sealant and will do just about any thing you want on a landrover plus you can paint over it. it's the one i use

think jen might get upset
if you said that picture is jez's new build. anyway jez's new build is likely to be much more organic than a series on portals
