Gday fellas I have rear Maxi all fittings new in a box never used (proir to mde folding) comes with 24 spline MDE axles, rear housing with plate welded on for dog clutch. Better than air locker option no compressor needed. Who wants to blow when you can be sucked? PM me for more details n price ...

Is it difficult to rebuild a steering box? Its a v8
Is the info on how to do it available in the workshop manual from the local library, is anyone aware? I've spent a lot of $s on this car and want to save some on this job if i can.
Any input appreciated

Sorry fellas forgot to mention i have a 50mm body lift in and the flares sit just a poofteenth below the body indent line that runs from front to back. Where it rubs (tears flares) is the rear quarter flare at the bottom up to and including to about 5 or 6" of the f:bad-words:n thing. The springs ...

I have a 97 Disco with 3" coils and 2" shocks mismatched in rear front is ok.I asked for 2" setup. I haved fixed the problem of the rear shocks being too short by welding another eye on the top of the shock i now get some down travel. My drama is that on up travel I still rub on my flares. A note to ...

I have had a few issues with the gas backfiring through the airbox on my 97 disco. I put the correct gas plugs in and then changed leads, still occured. So then i sepereted the leads so there was no contact at all and a min gap of 15mm between any lead to lead contact. Problem sorted. Runs aswell as ...

thanx 4 that m8 the owners manual i have suggests less than 6 litres of oil

Does anyone know the length of the dipy for my truck? It may sound like a silly question. But after 6.5 litres of oil and still not registering full i even 3/4 filled the filter , I was thinkn thats gota be too much. The owners manual says less. So i thought the dipy must be too short? Its 550mm ...

Was mainly thinking of strengthening it, rather than the need of it for lift.
As i only have 3" of lift. Sounds as if by the replies i will be better off putting that money towards other mods. Cheers fellas muchly appreciated

Does anyone have 1 they want to sell?
I will just rebush it and throw it in.

If no luck will buy a new 1, what do you fellas reckon a fair price is?

As title suggests, I would like to know how to clear 35's without bodylift? I have an airbag on the steering wheel, and the engineer said he thinks that doing a bodylift to my model is illegal (he had to check up for me). I would like to know how high the suspension needs to be to clear the 35's, I ...

I drowned a phone that had about 20 shots of the guard chop job just yesterday. :bad-words: I have the lra flares on my 97 disco. They (LRA) have two types n will tell you the cheaper type won't clear 35's but they certainly do. I'm not able to send you pix, but you can have a look at mine if you ...

Thanks fellas getn it sorted

An old lady ran into my car last night and smashed the rear quarter left side flare.
Does anyone know if you can purchase just 1 flare?
Wana try and save the old duck some money.

Down steep hills is no fun at all, with standard gearing and 35's when you have auto

My 97 v8 d1 is insured for $18900 it only has gas, lift, lra flares and 35's. Everytime i added something the sum insured went up by every dollar i spent. Even got the full price of the gas fitment added on, and the 2k rebate :lol: Give AAMI a buzz As for fuel consumption well thats another story ...

I thought wrx were front facing with the opening
You wont get much air facing it that way
Will deflect straight over to cool windscreen

Get the right offset rims and you can keep your turning circle without adjusting steering stops

Ive tried a few places one in kotara and CLR 4WD neither of them has one.
Can anyone help?

Cheers stuee mine doesn't overheat, the air is cold and i have thermos
But under any bonnet is plenty of heat and any little bit helps
Also I reckon they look sweet as on a Rangy
Can't quite picture it on a Disco though

Cooter, where would those vents you mentioned be available from? I have seen them on rangies, on the side parts towards windscreen on bonnet. Are they the same ones you are suggesting? Where would you put them on a disco? Do you have them? Are they affective? Do you know how much? Sorry bout all the ...

I WOULDN'T DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH THE PANHARD OUT
my 2 cents if I've read it correctly

Duno if this will help, I had a very similar problem while towing a large caravan, IN A GQ. Hit a small bump, uncontrolable wobble at 110k's had to hit the hazards hope for a shoulder the f3 sydney to newcastle can get very busy. The only way to stop this was to come to nearly a complete stop say ...

Happy anniversary discodino. Had a quuick look at your youtube site looks awesome mate .
What suspension setup and diff setup are you running?

Does your Discovery have airbags?
The LRA kit although comprehensive is VERY expensive in my opinion $790. They have a 20 odd page fitting guide, i'd hate to think what the labour would be.

Don't know how to do the quote thing yet. DiscoDino wrote "Looks great!" Yes it sure does :armsup: :armsup: , i just had a look at whats written at the bottom of your post and it mentioned your Discovery. Can you please do a similar thread would love to see and hear about yours? If a thread already ...

Yes very nice, maybe a little on the tall side though. Anychance you might be able to post it in the Post up your Rover section, or better still in the Members section to show all of what you have done and continually update it? I know that hundreds of people will read it :armsup: :armsup: :armsup ...

Gday m8, I 2 have got my 1st disco. I am ALWAYS AMAZED at the prices I get quoted for anything at all that I want to do (mods) or what has to be done (maintenance). I have the LRA flares ( DONT GO FIBERGLASS! ) for my 35" Maxxis bighorns. I have 2-3 " suspension lift no bodylift gunna try and avoid ...

Thanx every1 for ya help. Sounds like i got the 1 I would have picked given the choice anyway. Had a bad car acco early last year so i wanted something with an airbag, didnt want ABS or sunroof or those pissy little seats that they put in the back. The luggage area is small enough already and I have ...
