There are lots of threads on lifting. None I've read specifically deal with using 90 springs on a disco. If you search for my user name, there's a recent thread that has a load of info about springs. As the other guys have suggested, there is a 'doom and gloom' thread about lifting, and there...

That's a good idea. You haven't got a pic of that, have you? Or has anyone got dimensions from some datum points to highlight where I'd need to cut?

search for my user name - i started a thread about springs -there's a useful link attached to the thread

ta both, for latest replies. Good tip on the gennie LR one. Will make sure of that. The relay seems OK - seems to click convincingly and so on. Car is on a W (2000) and has done 126K, so that seems to match yours, MartinK

Ah, good idea, thanks. It's a bugger to get to, that pump...

Well, it was all going so well. Working out spring rates, big tyres, heavy duty bumpers - all the mods, and then she broke down. Just lost power and then stopped dead. Attention has to change from stuff I want to stuff I need! Wandered up to the local garage, found out they don't do call outs...

No - but it would appear that Paddock's springs are all genuine LR items - on these the colours do mean something. Stuff like Britpart and B'mach are just branded certain ways - likewise de Carbon. The OME are black, so you can't tell from the colour (clearly), but the site does have some idea...

Should have googled before asking. Duh. Here's a link that helps anybody else interested: land rover spring specifications

Hi all, I've been looking through various adverts at springs. It's kind of weird, but some stockists seem to specify a colour, so here's paddock for example: - Suspension I've also seen springs advertised as 'Blue' and 'Yellow'. Surely the colour can't be the only difference - the colours...

Hi all, Looking at replacing the tired tyres that came with the Disco 2. Looking at possibles, I was looking to choose between the BF Goodrich ATs (mytyres.co.uk - Details: BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO 245/70 R16 113S 8PR RWL) and the Yokohamas (mytyres.co.uk - Details: Yokohama Geolandar...

Yep, all good. Land Rover oils for engines, gearboxes, differentials and transfer cases is another interesting site too, and the stuff I'm using is within spec. Oil threads are always fraught with opinion and counter opinion, but as I say, if it all ends in tears, I'll let you know. The...

Ah well, mines now got a mixture of: REDLINE - 70w80 MTL Manual Transmission Gear Oil - 0.946 Litre/1 US Quart :: £13.23 :: Oil, Lubrication, Fluids & Liquid Additives :: REDLINE - Oil, Lubrication & Additives :: (as I had some lying around), and this: Comma :: Productsguide, again, because I...

seek and ye shall find and all that: Ashcroft Transmissions

What is it for these? Is it ATF? On another note, is the drain plug conventional thread? I'm asking as it really doesn't want to come out...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll change the oil today. Unfortunately messrs Devon 4x4 haven't sent my order, which included the Haynes book of jokes for this model, but I imagine the drain plug and the filler plug are fairly obvious. To the other questions, yes, I've had landies before, I had...

Hi all, Got my new TD5, works nicely bar the 'box. It's a really slow change, especially when cold, and especially going from 1 -> 2 and 2 -> 3. You have to let the revs drop all the way away going from 1 -> 2, and it sort of catches going from 2 -> 3. It's had a new clutch master cyl, so it's...
