Hi RR chaps. I have a Discovery 2 which has RR sport 19" wheels fitted to it. Can anyone tell me what the RR owners handbook suggests are the tyre pressures for 19" wheels? Many Thanks.

Thanks for the offer jeff. However, I also have a big van and so am looking for some power with economy. I'm now leaning towards LPG.

Thanks for the advice Derek. I certainly wouldn't want an engine that struggles when towing. My V8 tows effortlessly so maybe I should just hold on to it and look at an LPG conversion.

Ok chaps I need to pick your brains. I am considering the purchase of a P38 Range Rover powered by the 2.5 BMW diesel. I have been informed that the BMW engine is a bit underpowered for the vehicle. Most of my driving doesn't require immense power although I do tow a caravan. Will I be ok with...

I thought that the rear sunroof leak on my 1998 Disco 1a was the drain pipes clogging. However, on closer inspection it was found that the spot welds holding the roof onto the rear body had failed thus causing the roof to flex and warp the sunroof metal tray. Apparently the solution is to glue...

I've driven a few classic Range Rovers in my time with a 110 and SWB series 3 thrown in for good measure. My current chariot is a 1998 V8 Discovery which I have had for eight years. Looking forward to the forum!
