Disco sits low at rear

I noticed that my disco 300tdi sits noticeably lower at the rear when it has a full tank of fuel. It also has a heavy toolbox and a jerry can in the back, probably weighing around 10 stone in total. Is this normal?

Certainly not. Its not normal in the current economic climate to hve a full tank of fuel.

I meant the low bit!

put all the stuff on the bonnet and see if the back comes up, or the front goes down.....

fit some new springs

Must be a bloody big jerry can if it weighs 10st

dont forget a disco holds best part of 20 gallons @ 8lb ish per gallon

Bolt on a big pig iron winch and bumper, even it out a bit!

There are some pretty daft questions that get asked on here!

"I've put weight in my car, it goes down, is this normal?"

Well yes, for the record, that does happen, especially on saggy old springs.

If it wasn't for the simple fact that this is an excuse to post whore, I probably wouldn't have replied!

toolbox and fuel can shouldnt make an noticable difference....reckon the springs is shot.

and the fat end of 160lb of fuel if tank is full thats well over 3 sacks of spuds
