I have a set of disco later type 5 spoke alloys with BF goodrige AT's x 5 if thats any good to you?

Anyone person or company that sells vehicles for profit has to by law provide a warranty for the vehicle, unless it is sold as scrap and you recovered the vehicle on a trailer(this dosn't sound like your case) Sometimes you will be given a warranty book with items listed that are...

I drove my 90 all the way from newcastle to birmingham at motorway speeds without even knowing the front prop was in the boot....good old ebay. i didn't know, as it turned out the gearbox was knacked, still managed motor speeds tho with the diff lock on

less life....more power means more stress on the engine and it will wear out quicker. I think the turbo technics conversion was a bolt on modification so the std compression ratio was used, you wont be able to run much boost pressure without the engine knocking its head off and melting things...

ok maybe not the number of axles, i was reffering to the maximum load weight of the tyres, you will need 4 if they are anything like normal road tyres, hence the twin axle statement but you are right in what you say its the MAM that has the final say

you'll need a twin axle jobby for a disco

even tho the uj's have no play in them make sure they are free to rotate as well, if the bearings are seizing up it it dosn't help matters

tilts the axle forwards? maybe i'm thinking of castor angle

gearbox rubbers would be the cheapest thing to try but it sounds like the bearings. dos it vibrate in 5th as well?

they are supposed to correct the camber of the steering so it dosn't get very light/unstable driving over 40mph, just wondering if they are critical

hello all I have a 2 inch lift kit fitted to my disco and wanted to fit 2 inch lift cups under the springs. Do i realy need to look at camber correction arms as well? I was wondering if anyone has a 4 inch lift and has got away without fitting the correction arms The vehicle is mostly...

always got a nod or wave in my 90 from others defenders even if they was std with a trailer and 3 bails of hay in the back. When my mate borrowed it and broke down the first 90 that came past stopped to see if he needed any help. Now i have a disco its only other disco's that are tricked out...

peak torque is like 2500 ish so off road pointless going way way above, it depends on your engine and how it was looked after. As all engines are looked after differently each is unique in what it will take before it goes bang. I had a tuned renault 5 turbo once that would hit 8k without...

check for rust mostly. Inner wings at the front, inner and outer sills and the rear arches inside, the body is aluminium so can hide many sins under it. Check the front inners by looking under the bonnet. if its a 5 door check the rear inners by opening the rear doors and checking by the rear...

i have a 3.9 series 1 disco, the gearshift stays on the left hand side and will not centre, i know its a simple broken spring. is it a job that can be done with the box in the car? thx in advance
