Hi all,
Just joined the forum after waiting for over a year to be accepted by the landrover owners club with no joy.

Hope to enjoy my time here

Welcome to lz, mate!

Not sure what you mean by landrover owners club? Last time I looked, there were quite a few owners clubs. And most of them aren't fussy, so long as you pay.

Are you sure your application hasn't been lost in the post or something?

I'm not sure which one it was I emailed them with no reply from them so gave up in the end.

What sort of landy have you got?

Series3, Ninety, One Ten club are ok guys. Or if you want to drive in competitions AWDC. I have been in both before, though not a member of any now.

Disco td5.
I wanted some advice for uprate suspension. Already got spring conversion fitted.

Why do you want uprated suspension?

Cheers

Uprate? And why do you need to?

Lot of people reckon air is better on D2, and I agree.

Drive it a lot over farm land and some marshland was wanting to give better suspension and good for towing.

Standard D2 suspension is extremely capable off road. And air is much better for towing.

I did 30 years of farm and forestry work with standard springs on landrovers, and 3 years towing cattle trailers with a D2. No worries.

So do you want stiffer suspension? lifting?

I shall leave as it is then I just wondered if updated would be more beneficial

Taff3757 · Sep 19, 2017

I was looking at lift kits but bit unsure on if I can just lift the suspension or if a body lift is needed also

Doubt it, standard is a pretty good all rounder. You might try some new shockers if you want. Going back to air will definitely be better on road, and for towing.

There is no need, and it will make towing worse.

What shocks would you recomend was looking at the terrafirma all terain but we're +2"

neilly · Sep 19, 2017

Are you saying you just need a new set of suspension based on the std stuff that was fitted? , albeit not air suspension, altho for towing it is a better proposition when working correctly.

I wouldn't. I would recommend standard height. Or air suspension.

I've got to change the from shock bushes on the front so was just contemplating changing shocks and springs for better than standard ones really so just putting feelers out for the best option

They aren't better. Except if you want to drive in very specific situations needing higher ground clearance. Like modified trials.

For all round, standard is best. Just change the bushes, they fail for a pastime.

so excuse me,

But I must be missing something, But what is you want ? what do you find is missing?

Cheers
