Just popped in to cause trouble

I always thought that orange paint not only made the material it coated more valuable, but also weaker?

The benefit of this being that there's an in-built warning that said coated component needs replacing fairly regularly.

I think that producers of orange-coated products are doing us a service. :D

He seems to think he has a special suspension set up specifically for bobtailed Discos with big wheels that want to tow heavy trailers.

Has he been sold it on that basis or is he making that up? It would be interesting to ask him what the vehicle weighs which presumably he must have had done for this special suspension. :unsure:

Hi Nige, thanks as I too like it. got my disco rear stuck last weekend and this has given me a view of what to do if my pocket can hold out. Anyone know someone able to do the work and what order of cost might be involved to bobtail?

Oh and green paint :lol:

I allready have the special suspension set up---Wobbly :lol:

Kind of like the wear indicators that appear on some types of tyre when the tread is nearly at the legal limit?

I see your point Les....

As soon as you see orange on your springs you know they need replacing :D

I have to admit that I quite like it too. Not sure about the front end - it's a 200, why make it look otherwise? and the towbar is daft (having put all that effort into increasing the departure angle).

However, the bobtailing actually looks quite neat.
