    2" Lift ?

    Yes, I was going to trim the arches. Just keep trimming untill there is no rubbing. :p

    2" Lift ?

    Yep, they look ideal. Has anyone had good experience with spacers ?

    2" Lift ?

    The 2" lift will allow the larger diameter tyres to be fitted right ?

    2" Lift ?

    2" Lift ?

    OK. I though I might have to buy the two new shocks. Thanks for the advice. Im just after a cheap 2" lift to obtain more clearance under the diffs, when coupled with larger diameter tyres. If anyone sees any good deals then let me know. £100 would be better than £200. Im no bothered about...

    2" Lift / Tyres / Ideas. Please Help !

    Im in the process of researching how to achieve better clearance underneath my disco Mk1. I was origonally looking at putting the largest radius tyres I could fit on with a bit of arch trimming (As per the tyre size guide included on this site). I think according to the guide this is a 235/75...

    Plug fitment to tow bar.

    OK. Well now my boat is out of the water, serviced and sitting on the drive untill April. Im in no rush untill then. So I'm going to keep my eye on the Bay. If you decide to fabricate something in the meantime, I would be more than happy to buy one off you after all the help you have given me...

    Plug fitment to tow bar.

    That looks ideal. I see how it all works now. The drop plate gives you the required height and distance. That is definately exactly what I need. Ill have to kepp my eye on EBay. Or if one doesnt come up soon I may try and make one. Many thanks for all your help. This is definately a much...

    Plug fitment to tow bar.

    That would be really useful. I cant find one on the Bay at the moment, but ill keep my eye out. Could possibly make my own configuration under the car, but I will need a long ball hitch I think ? Pictures would be really useful, thanks for all your help !

    Plug fitment to tow bar.

    Thank you very much for that ! That conector was exactly what I was wanting to go for, (I just couldn't find the right thing). However having seen the setup that Paul D has gone for I think I will go down that road. If the elecrics are left on the bumper, ill never have to disconect the cable...

    Plug fitment to tow bar.

    Because I mainly need the rear clearance, I normally remove my tow bar. However about 4 times a year I need to tow my boat around. When I took the tow bar off I cut the electrics. Mainly because the socket was in a poor state. Ive bought a new socket and I am going to refit the tow bar and...

    Gear box drain plug r380

    Fair point. I forgot the plug is horizontal not vertical. Surely you only need to get a 10 degree turn on it and the seal is broken though ?

    Gear box drain plug r380

    What you need to do is get a meter long scafold pole, put it over the end of the spanner. Even if Jeff Capes did the bolt up, that will undo it !

    Pics of the snorkel

    I know people have asked this before, but I cant find any pics. Anyone got a photo of how their snorkel fixes onto the door pillar ? I want to make a home made one. It has to be bloody strong though. Like strong enough to swing off. :confused: Im making the snorkel out of metal tubing and...

    Snorkel

    Stupid question time again. Anyone ever had the air intake coming into the cabin ? Would that fill the car with fumes ? :D
