    Series wheels + 750-16's

    I have tried in theory with jack and weights but due to other issues I was unable to put theory in to practice. But the wheel tucked inside the wheel arch. I don't see how the wheel itself can move back or forth? Up and down, with varying degree of camber, but I think you would have to hit...

    Series wheels + 750-16's

    Right am about to explode. 750-16s require a camel cut to fit a Discovery 1? Correct? Now what no one seems to mention is what wheels or offset these have been tried at. Just how much room is required in the back arch? I have tried my 750-16s that are on 109 Series 3 wheels, so the...

    Getting my Disco 2 as economic and efficient as poss'

    Over the period of a year mines around 28 MPG, its a due a service and am going to remove the EGR and possibly try some injector cleaner. IMO keeping a check on the MPG is one of the first indications that something might be wrong. A good service always goes down well.

    Tyres for a smooth ride....or am I taking the @"%*

    On my mums old one that never saw off road work, they fitted BFGMacadam as they had done to the 200 previous. When the 200 went I put the tyres on my Jeep Cherokee, and on the road they were fantastic, but they were pretty much a road tyre even thou I did take my Cherokee to Driffeild Land...

    Td5 cruise control

    You just press resume. Clutch works the same as pressing the brakes. Ideally the engine will rev itself up before the incline gets steep and the auto box would kick down, some times it just drags the arse out of it and and just tries to pull along with road speed dropping as it can't...

    Any experience of the AA or RAC?

    I've been with the AA about 8 years, and wont be again after this year. Utter crap, I had to get my dad to come out and rescue me and sort the issue out the following day. This was with a 5 year old child in the car and waiting for 4 hours for them to even get to us. Luckily I wasn't to far...

    Steel Wheels?

    On a patina Land Rover #### yes, they amplify the ruggedness. Unlike the poncy modulars ;) Built for purpose not for style :p

    Steel Wheels?

    They are LWB series steels with 750-16 tyres fitted. Camel Disco's had 700-16s. I was after some decent tyres on normal alloys, but as I have these and they owe me nothing its the only reason I am going to run them. If I could find some nice tyres on a set of alloys I would rather use them...

    Tyre sizes

    Space save is designed for a non driven axel, meant for the front of my MR2 as it would be an Elise. Yet on the like of a Civic its meant to be run on the rear. This is to save the diff as rolling resistance is different, but rolling radius is the same. I had to use my space saver to get...

    Disco for sale

    It's not that bad its does about 14mpg with the LPG its nearly livable. I've focused mine more on the its not a rot box, plus LPG and a fantastic engine noise, its just that bit to nice for me to bash about rescuing, but needs must I use it just with caution ;)

    What annoys you most about non-landrover drivers!

    They think by taking 2 spots they are less likely to be scratched, how wrong are they when I squeeze my Disco in the ****y gap they leave :p

    Disco for sale

    I'd like to know this to as not many seem interested in my D1 V8 LPG jap import and rust free. I've had it up at £1500 for a while as I fancy a 90/110 and think the Discovery is to good to ruin.

    Steel Wheels?

    I put a series wheel on the back of my Disco yesterday, I thought it looked utility I think is the best word. The tyres on my series wheels are 750-16 so is likely to require simple bodymods, but I won't be cutting until my 2" lift is here. The look didn't really bother me it was more the...
