I think I'm away that weekend but I will be in the new forest.

If they found there way to fridge or TSD that could work. So that's Basingstoke, Andover.

Ed don't worry about the t box I'm going to change tyres instead. Around Xmas can work unless someone can do it sooner or I end up going that way.

Landroversforever has a pair of springs for me. If someone is passing him coming my way (Southampton) and doesn't mind it would be greatly appreciated.

On the basis the head and bolts are the same i guess we're both right then.

It says to use new bolts.
I beg to differ!
Gen or discovery manual.

I think the lr workshop manual says 3 times but definitely more than one use.

Yes please Jamie that's the whole point of this section... land rover... maybe...interesting.. definitely.

100 years on.... it just a shame some don't understand the word sacrifice.
Lest we forget.

Yes however some say they wear differently but I've never had any problems swapping front to rear.

Sikaflex do a sealant and primers for polycarbonate but I can't remember the numbers off hand.

I used the freelander/mgf one very similar though.

If you form a rebate be it folded and or welded you could then direct bond a glass window in windscreen style.

Ironically it was so far out as standard (205's, 1.4:1 t box and gear and discovery 1 speedo)that though it passed the IVA just it was 13mph out at 70mph so with the 35's it's reading under 5mph slow so with 33's it should be spot on.

I've been thinking long and hard about the gearing issue and I think I've come to the conclusion that I have two choices. One, change the diff ratio this would solve hi and low gearing allow me to keep the 35's. But wouldn't solve any rubbing and is expensive/Not a 5 minute job. Or. Two, change the tyres to 33's, this fixes gearing, solves rubbing and can be done quickly. Final bonus is the 35's can be sold to help pay for the 33's unless I can find someone to do a swap with. The only down sides are doesn't look as good and a little clearance loss.
I'm leaning towards the latter.
I've also re-sealed the roof so just have the gutters to re-seal.

Equally I'm Southampton and can pass to fridge if need be. But not going anywhere at the moment.

I think bowie may have a point, part of the attraction of binky is the rapore between them.

I've had an anti roll bar invert it didn't lock the suspension up in fact I only noticed later. I later removed the anti roll bar completely.

Deep dish that's the one but there is another fitted to a puma special edition as well.
Mike

I don't think so they were fitted to discovery 1's. As far as I'm aware boost, saw tooth, blindo, a compromotive version of the freestyle, all steel and one other I can't remember the name of are the only ones that are rated for the 110. Que the list of ones I've missed
and that some people think you can run any wheel you just can't carry as much (I'll let them argue that with vosa).

Could be a front and a rear the longer is probably the rear.

Rears are normally the same height. Fronts sometimes have a slightly shorter one on the passenger side the allow for the weight of the steering box on the drivers side.

Low voltage to glow plugs
in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

My voltage drops to low 11v when the glow plugs are on.
I would suggest you check/clean battery and starter connections first. Then I would give the battery a good charge via a mains charger or get it drop tested.
