I think @htr used springs from this outfit... https://dobinsons.com/ On their site, they quote a 30mm lift (more travel?) but I'm sure @htr said he got 20mm.

£50k for a Cherry. Yeh, fook right off. Ali's decent proper Freelander is much better value at £50k. Or, for £50k, you could buy a decent proper Freelander and a lifetime of diesel.

The odds are that the VCU is knackered if its never been changed. However, also make sure that the car has been maintained with the same make/model of tyres on all corners as a mismatched tyre has the affect of 'engaging' the VCU because the props will turn at different speeds - even at low car...

This is true, but it won't be 'freely' because it will also need to turn all the props, 2 diffs and another wheel. So it won't be like spinning the wheel on a 'normal' car, but it will turn quite freely.

Hope it fixes the problem. There doesn't have to be a question in a post. Observations and general chat are just as much part of LZ as questions.

It went to a jigsaw scene.

Shouldn't the MIL light go out after a self test? Why does it stay on?

It was at some point part of the Dunsfold collection. @Hippo has a YT video of it, but it looks like its been maintained well since it left the collection.

Not experienced it myself, but I think in these instances it is usually the master that has gone and needs replacing. Summat might of happened when it ran out of fluid. With no ABS, its a very simple setup and nothing really between master and slave/caliper that can go wrong or trap air I...

I have no idea, but I'll be intrigued if someone can identify them/

The cars up to 2000 had 5 spoke 15" rims and they won't fit later cars. From 2000 they had 6 spoke 15" rims and they should fit any car post 2000. Count the spokes, it should tell you if they fit or not.

The dash display will be a part shared between petrol and diesel models. This could cause confusion because the petrols probably still have the MIL there with the MIL icon, but it isn't used. Additionally confusing because it has the ODB-11 shaped socket for diagnostics. It looks like there...

I thought they did. Its not the diameter that is the issue.

That was...

From Rave... So petrol cars don't have it.
