Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi All
I have just added an ARB steel bull bar to the Disco and just inquiring as to what spring do I need to fit to the front for the extra wieght.
The Disco is stock standard apart from the bull bar.
I do not wish to raise it, as I need to get into the company car park.
Thanks
Steve

Does anyone have a bull bar for a S1 Disco, air bag compatable?
I had an accident on Sunday night and the repairer is going to replace the bumper bar.
If I can secure a bull bar by tomorrow, I can replace the bumper bar with the bull bar.
Thanks
Steve

Hi All
I have had a 1996 Discovery Tdi for the last 6 months.
There was no hand held central locking activator supplied with the vehicle.
When locking with the key, the alarm goes off most of the time. I have now disconnected the alarm horn, but the lights still constantly flash. I need to unlock ...

Hi
I had the same problem.
The water was leaking through the hold down bolt threads.
Used a thread sealant & it fixed the problem
Regards
Steve

Thanks Justin

I will try tomorrow.

I have been told to drain and clean out the sedimenter before changing the fuel filter

Need help as I cannot unscrew the drain tap or remove the lower section of the unit to clean.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks
Steve

Can anyone offer any experience on changing the timing belt on the 300Tdi?
I have just purchased a 96 Disco with only 130,000 kms on it. Checked with the previous Land Rover service centre that looked after it and they have lost all records prior to 2004 so they cannot tell me if it has been changed ...

Graeme Cooper has them. I was looking for exactly the same thing this morning.

I am in the market for a Disco and am not sure if auto or manual is the best option.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Also what is the best year to purchase.
Is there any know issues with any models?
Thanks

I am looking for 1996 on Tdi Disco. Is there anything to lookout for with these?
Most have done 140,000 to 190,000 kms.

Thanks
Steve

I am looking at purchasing a 1996-1998 Disco Tdi. Not sure if auto or manual is best, as mostly city driving for work, so Auto sounds better. How many Kms are the auto good for? Most have done around 220,000Kms. Have been told that auto keeps engine in the rev range for turbo.
Thanks
Steve

No Mention of caster.

They should check this and include in report?

Had wheel alignment done yesterday on '85 rangie with 2" suspension lift and 33" MTR's.

Rear toe left = -0.4 mm
right = +0.4 mm
Total toe = 0.0 mm

Geometrical driving axis = +0 deg 02 minutes

Front camber ...

How much you want for the front diff?

Require the panel above the front windscreen that bolts to the roof and each side at top of the A frame. Mine has rusted out.
I am located in Sydney. I have a 1985 Range Rover.
Thanks

I have a 1985 Range Rover and have had pieces of rust falling from behind the roof lining above the windscreen. I have just removed the roof lining and there is a folded frame section that the windscreen seal mounts to, that is rusting out.
My question is can this bracket, which has 2 bolts at ...

I have tried for some time to stop the fuel filler cap from leaking.
When I fill it, which is only on trips, fuel leaks and dribles down the side of the truck.
There is a screw behind the rubber seal plate that I have screwed in, out sideways and it still leaks.
Has anyone had a similar problem and ...

I have just fitted new 2" higher springs all round. When loaded the Rangie sags in the rear by about 1-2 inches (25-50mm). Is it better to change to heavier springs or to add polyair bags to inflate when loaded? Does the heavier springs decrease wheel travel?

Thanks

I have an 85 Rangie with 2" suspension, 2" body lift and 33" MTR's. What length of shock should I be looking at for such a setup. I can get Tough Dog adjustables at a good price as I know the guy who owns the Company. Has anyone tried them and if so what are they like.

Thanks
Steve

The speedo has stopped working, it has a clicking noise from behind the dash. I replaced the right angle drive 6 months ago & it is working fine. I have tested everything from the transfer case to the drive which goes into the dash pod. I removed the angle drive & drove around the block & everything ...

If he does not take it I would be interested

The 88 model box has the gear leavers reversed to that of the 85 model.

We had to swap over the selection mechanism. Something between the two boxes is different, hence the 6mm packer.

I would really like to know what that difference is, just for my knowledge if nothing else.

Hi all

Has anyone converted an LT77 from an 88 model to fit into an 85 model R/R?

The gear levers & selection assembly need to be swapped over, which we have done, but I am having troubles lining up the selector for 5th gear.

The first time the mechanic installed it I had no 5th gear. I ...

To all that have fitted flares to 4 door Rangie.

What is the best way to cut the double skin back doors. I was concidering using either an air hacksaw or 4" grinder with thin cut blade. You need to cut outside skin separate to inside sklin.

Any comments.

Thanks
Steve

For that price I am also in, but need to be able to cut guard, as this is the whole point of getting them.

SteveC

I am after a set of 4 door flares urgetly. I mounted the 33" MTR's over the weekend & they rub slightly, but they are still on, so I want to install a set of flares ASAP.
Does anyone have a second hand set or want to get together for a bulk buy from Rangie Spares, otherwise I will have to pay RRP ...
