well got me tyres on, 2 inch lift completed, new shocks, From reading so much on the forum, I was a bit worried about how much this tyre size would affect the car. Although Rejo said it would be fine ! Well I do commute 200 miles a day in it. I am well chuffed!!!! More relaxed cruising, no decernable loss of power. Still picks up its skirts away from the lights, well in Disco fashion. Dont have to slip the clutch to pull away either. Tomorrow I will attempt the "Camel Cut" on the rear arches and cut down the front valance and bumper end caps. Any advice on cutting these bits more than welcome!!!!!! One question though what tyre pressures should I run these tyres on? Cheers, Neil 93 200tdi

Maybe you should wear beer googles, that should help!

I will show you on sunday how to not only put red circles around objects but many other colours and shapes too. Should keep you busy for hours

Thanks David I had it in my head that they would be way to small. Cheers, Neil

Does anyone know if 21cm movement on a disco shock is good or not? Cheers, Neil

Thanks Russ, you have pointed put me in the right direction Cheers, Neil

Hi All, I got a chance to get some cheap HD shocks for my Disco 1, these hopefully will do until I can convince the misses OMU is the way to go. Only 10 quid a throw. Does the below if seem right to you, I am just a bit worried that the stroke is not long enough....... Collapsed (max)* Extended Stroke Mounting front 330mm 540mm 210mm pin/pin rear353mm 565mm 212mm eye/pin Thanks, Neil

Hi all, I want to make my own snorkel, does anyone have the pattern to put on the left wing like this. http://www.discoweb.org/mantecsnorkel/2.jpg Would i be right by using 68mm? Thanks folks, Neil

FIXED, cleaned out the sediment bowl full of water and scum, and replaced the fuel filter, running better than ever..! Primed no problem, just ran it for 5 minutes after each unit was cleaned/replaced. Thanks alot for your input people! Cheers, Neil

Hi all, Just fishing for some advice....as usual...... My Disco is loosing power at 3000rpm, I suspect fuel filter, but what are the symtoms leading up to a lift pump failure apart from it wont start........? thanks Cheers, Neil

Bring it around the back after the AA meeting, you know they wont refuse. Erm sorry mail in the post

Hi all, With so many people requiring help I just thought I would post some pics of a happy Disco off road after the help from this forum, Namely Mark who steered me in the right direction, Hats off to you all !!!!!!!!!!!! Me and the kids had a great day with a small Dutch club (www.mudmaniacs.nl) just outside Eindhoven. Very muddy and very cramped due to it being held in some woods...... Cheers, Neil

Thanks alot to you all for your swift help! A real big thanks you to Mark for putting me on the right track which solved this problem! Grub screw on the selector linkage was loose, if you look at the pics it becomes self explanatory, WELL CHUFFED!!!!!! Cheers, Neil

Isnt this the same thing? and is it just a case of removing the bolts and pulling it out? Cheers, Neil

Isnt that directly on top of the t-box? I have my centre comsole out so I can see that.....I think. Is it just a case of removing the 6 bolts?

thanks Mark for your reply but the Diflock is fine, I cant engage LO range, lever moves fine......but no low range or neutral Cheers, Neil

Also forgot to mention that I don't have neutral on the T-Case

Ok well I am now at a loss, I have opened up the middle console and all the linkages seem OK, a full range of movement. No resistance at all going from Hi to Lo range, I am sure I remember some resistance from the 90's and 110's I have driven in the past. But I am still stuck in Hi range. Diflock works fine. When I move the lever to low range the selector arm moves all the way back to transfer case casing, 30 degrees from vertical clockwise when looking from passenger seat. Any ideas what the problem could be? Cheers, Neil

Thanks very much for your help!!! Cheers, Neil

Hi All, Hopefully someone can help..... I am looking for Dif ratios, for series, Defender and Range/Disco A friend of mine is building a monster Suzuki Samrai, he was initially going to use G-wadon axles but would rather use LR. He also wants to convert from leaf to coils. Thanks for any help! Cheers, Neil

Phew Thanks BogMonster, I was flapping there for a while, thought my transfer box was shot..... Learn something new everyday!! dont I feel dumb............... Cheers, Neil

Hi All, While investigating a rumble coming from the front, ie repack wheel bearings, remove front prop shaft, I have discovered the rumble, I think....... With the front prop removed i have no drive, only by putting dif lock on do I have drive to the rear wheels. and it sounds very clunky when I initially pull away.... HELP please someone......... It seems I have been driving for the last 3000 miles in front wheel drive. How can this be????? Thanks Neil

Thanks for the help folks, will have a look at it over the next couple of days wife permitting.....erm weather permitting forgot its my week to wear the trousers............ Will let you know my findings........... Cheers, Neil

Hi Tonk, I have full range of movement, fully left to engage Dif lock, light comes on but will have to check if it actually engages, Forward and back to engage Hi and Low range, however low range does not engage, locked in High range, OK I can drive normally thankfully.........but no low range for when i wanna go and play.............. Cheers, Neil 93 Disco 200Tdi

HI Folks, Looking for some advice, I cant change HI to LOW range, lever moves ok, Light on the dash lights up when i engage DIF lock but no low range. Is this a linkage problem or something worse????? Cheers, Neil 93 200Tdi Disco
