Thanks for all the helpful replies.
Any chance anyone can offer the same information relating to a Discovery 1 with a 2 inch lift?
I'm happy to trim the arches at each end but I'd prefer to avoid having to cut them so much that a set of arches is required.
Jeremy
I have 265/75/16 with 2" lift and "camel cut" rear arches. That's it.

I have ,sorry the wife has 265/75/16 on standard disco alloys with no lift ,can make a bit of noise when loaded up but not too bad but you cant get a fag paper between the tyres and the arches
hope she don't see this she will be wanting a lift next
I bet she'll be wanting the new arches next:) After arches kiss rubber several times:)
-
245/70 does not make any significant difference even without a lift. Also I had used 235/75, a little bit higher but again without any problems and lift:)
245/75 will be ok i think with your 1inch lift.

Thanks for the replies. That's just what I thought.
Do you have wiring info how to install it? Never done this before, I'm thinking of how to reuse a stock temerature sensor. What do I need more besides fan itself? Some device should switch it on and off I bet:)
-
I'm thinking about geting rid of stock mechanical fan which is driven by the belt (got really tired of it's noise). And want to put electrical fan. Maybe I can use the fans from conditioner which are in front of radiator? Does anybody have experiense in this?

Discovery 2.5TD, Manual gearbox.
After gearbox rebuild the selectors where changed and everything that had to. After a test drive strange thign appeared: it goes OK to swotch from 1 to 2, 2-3, 4-5, then back 5-4, 4-3.
But 3-2 is done with a terrible sound. Actualy it's not done, I can't switch to the 2nd gear as to the 1st gear also. But can do this whikle standing.
Any ideas what can be wrong?

Congratulations. That's what i'm was thinking - bfg at is in the past. cooper st is next generation.

Is this an antenna or something else as it looks like its just been cut off ..... only problem is I cant see the other end.
yes. antenna. for keyfob.
-
That might be a stupid question, but anyways, what's up with your alarm system? Maybe it's just passively immobilized?
And it's also looks like a spider problem, go to TechArchive for BogMonster's article about the spider unit soldering.

And seriously. With such big wheels there might be not enough torque. When you increase torque in transfer box then you'll have problems with axels. etc, etc, etc....

That was too hard for him. This is much easier:

There are several videos of them in mud on you tube.
As to your comment about what's the point; why does there have to be one?
I've done things for the hell of it before and i say good on him.
Did not really want to start a battle here around this, I beg a pardon. If you have direct links for videos you've mentioned please post them. 'Cause i've seen only one with a big log (tree). I'm thinking about reliability of that thing and not really sure that it will do the finish on Ladoga for example.

It's not a problem, they blow drivetrain parts before they get anywhere too bad
Just read a thread at Pirate, no pics of this stuff in mud? So what's the point of building such monster? To scare kids? Stupid.
-
Just wondering if these THINGS stuck, will the winches help? Just imagine that mud where this thing will stuck. Do they have Hi-Jack?
-
Will they fit my td5 with 30mm spacers ok then without rubbing? Bigger the better!!!
Somebody had played a bad joke with you. YOU DON'T NEED SPACERS TO FIT TYRE SIZES UP TO 265 IN WIDTH. As "africanpete" said, don't fool yourself and go with 2" lift if you want something significant bigger. Otherwise just go with 245/75/16 as you've been told without any spacers.
Cheers mate!

Thinking of 305/70/16 size. Already have 2" lift and 265/75/16.
So how is it going on 305/70/16?
:) What mods I need more? Rims 8" or 10", offset? BTW, any photos? -
hi guys i have just fitted a piper cam to my 3.5 v8 efi discovery but now i have a misfire when running on petrol but it runs sweet as a nut when on gas. any 1 got any ideas as to what it can be?
Emmmmm.... Dirty petrol injectors? Injector connections (wires)?
-
I do not really understand the point of getting spacers without a lift. I have 2" lift and 265/75/16 tires, in my case spacers would help me to install 285/75/16 cause they will rub springs and radius arms. But in your case.... I don't even know. This will make some sense if you'd like to have something wide but not tall, like 285/60/16, 285/55/16. And even in this case I bet that you'd like to have a proper 8" rim instead of spacers.

My car is a big toy for me right now. I've bought an oscillo to measure some things and this will probably help me in studying the engine work.
I agree now that o2 sensors are not my case. But let me explain why I began to think of them. When I've seen the injection timing the 1,2,3,4 injectors where 2.7-2.8ms and 5,6,7,8 where 2.4-2.5ms. The injectors themselves I've cleaned allready, no change. The same story running on LPG. So I'm still in search for answer why ECU gives more time for left set of cylinders and less time for right. The first idea was: it's because o2 sensors work differently and one of them might give infromation about lean exhaust and computer wants to make it reach. I was wrong.

4. diff lock switch probably u/s, easy to change
hehe, easy to change but hard to access i'd say.
-
Allright, allright, got it
Will keep you informed on my investigation. -
1, 3. That's interesting, because you are supposed to control central locking via front left door lock. When you lock it with a key or manually other doors should be also locked.

With a high voltage sensor I want to recon myself that everything is allright with wires, sparcs, distributor, coil.
MegaSquirt......, never heard of it before, will think of it for the future, but not now. Very seducing thing, probably will need to get divorced with my wife to install MS:)
And BTW, here is the waveform I've got today from two o2 sensors. Green is right sensor (which I had measured before) and pink is left (which I did not!). And as far as I understand it does not work properly! After thinking a bit I had cutted the black wire on "not working sensor" and hardwired it with a black wire of "working sensor" (you'll say it's stupid but I did it, let's say for experiment), to make ECU read signal from working sensor. So I supposed to get 1 working sensor instead of 2. Nothing particulary happened, I did not notice the difference in engine work.
Have to dig further. I think even if the o2 sensors are dead my main problem is not in them.

....STOP WORRYING...
Thank you for giving some light on my doubts, 'cause I've been completely confused. I'm currently thinking of buying two additional sensors for my oscillo: pressure (to test intake pressure) and high-voltage (to test ignition problems).
Will keep you informed on my investigation.
How much lift do I need?

A fellow of mine has 35x14.5 with 2" suspension lift + 2" body lift + cutted arches.
I think that with 37" you will have cut the arches more 1" on each side to make them wider. (37-35)/2=1"
