looks like its the shocks. but i just ordered 4 new steelie rims and put a deposit on 2nd hand 4 265/70 R 16 BF Goodrich A/T tyres, from a local tyre place. Tyres were are bargain at $55 a corner, fitted, and rims were $105 each. Now my understanding is that with this size tyres I need to...

try twinaxle.com, i was a member for a while seems a friendly well organised club. although not strictly LR most seem to be in landys.

Sunday was a hung over day of not doing a lot for me! I was goin to fix some new speakers in it but went to the shop supercheap auto (like halfords) and it was shut cos of ANZAC day. so did literally nothing all day!

awsome, thanks. il have a go tomorrow!

ok does it have to be in N for that or park?

cheers for the replies, il start with the steering damper and maybe shocks and see how i get on from there!

so how do i check if its working properly?

Hi everyone, picked the new rangie up today. Seems to run ok and everything, main issues I noticed are: gearbox seems a bit noisey when pulling off, theres a few funny noises but seems better when at cruising speed. Is there anything I can do about this ? Or is it just general wear? We did a...

good answer spud thanks!

Apparantly the RRC, or at least some of them, have got a viscous coupling instead of a manually locking centre diff. How reliable is this, and how well does it match up off road to a manual diff lock? The on I am getting has this set up, along with a 4 speed autobox. Do they tend to have any...

Also apparantly there is a $2k govt. rebate if you get an lpg conversion. Dont know how much id be looking at for the actual conversion but its worth looking into.

Prices are high mainly because cars seem to last a lot longer due to lack of rust etc. And also there is no MOT equivalent, the closest thing is the Road Worthy Certificate which you need to get to re-register the vehicle upon change of ownership. But once you have that, you can just drive the...

price is very high if you compare to UK prices, but 2nd hand motors particularly 4x4s are a lot more over here so you cant really compare. Iv looked at a few discos already and this is in a similar price bracket but lower mileage and MUCH better nick than them. I know what you mean about the...

:o:o:o As some of you may know, I am living In Vic, Australia at the moment. Went to see this today 1990 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VOGUE Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au And it is as close to mint as any 20 year old vehicle Iv ever seen. So I put down a deposit on it.. picking...

or this LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8i (4x4) - Trading Post

thinking about this now 1996 Land Rover Discovery Silver A Wagon (eBay item 270448570897 end time Apr-25-10 12:09:28 EST) aside from the lack of lpg it looks a bit more sensible. might ring them tomorrow.

well thats the thing, there were more sold in the UK and due to this and rust etc they are now considerably cheaper than over here. mind you, just about everything is cheaper than over here! A loaf of bread is about $3, a pint, if your lucky enough to find one, is $8ish, a 'slab' (crate) of...

yeh they are a fair bit, like say they tend to last a bit longer with less rust etc which keeps prices high. but theyre no more than toyotas etc. one of the pros of this one is that it has RWC and rego, which a lot dont. but having had a flick through trading post at some others i could get a...

Yeh the price does seem a little steep considering the mileage, that is the main thing putting me off.
