    First remove ALL interior trim including the alpine window trim ........ then you'll see a load of 10mm bolts (some up in the roof area where the rear seat belt bolts up) which all need to be removed along with the lower panel fixing bolt on the outside located just back from the rear wheel arch...

    And then again maybe not :confused: If it's back feeding pressure through the air filter the timing belt COULD be the cause :confused: ............. suggest you dont run the engine until this has been checked and either put down as the cause or eliminated from blame BEFORE you run the engine...

    235/70/16 tyres

    I know that on some Jeep Cherokee's they had a problem with the centre diff going bang due to tyre probs ........ ie fitting just 1 new one etc etc ...... but havent heard of probs with Disco's TBH :confused: I used to work in a garage (qualified mechanic) and part of my job was fitting...

    Suspension mods????

    Could be your lucky night ;) Agreed in this case it's just a case of laning etc .......... but the purpose of a lift kit isn't just to increase approach/departure angles ........ thats the point i was trying to make :p

    disco II

    Or just buy her a Micra and make sure she understands who's boss!! ;) :D
  12. CaptainChaos

    Suspension mods????

    Agreed but i think most people would know that i was talking about undercarriage ground clearance ;) Obviously a spring/shock lift kit will make no difference to axle height ........ but do a lift and fit bigger tyres like i have done and you can follow Defender ruts no problem ;)
