For a budget lift, fit 2” spring spacers, you will need new +2” rear shocks ( britpart worked fine for me ) and use towbar spacers to drop the rear ARB mountings. Front shocks can remain.

And try to avoid carrying extra fuel / water on your roof rack. It may look good but will have a huge impact on stability.

I would just replace the lift pump just to eliminate it as the problem. When priming it, the manual lever will not work if the lever in the engine is on the peak of the cam. If this is the case just give the engine a quick turn over then try again.

Refitting the original springs with 2 inch spacers may be your solution. Also, tow bar spacers can be used to lower the rear anti roll bar mounts as removing it should result in an MOT failure.

Is your 110 a petrol?

Nice. So I assume a roof tent is next on the shopping list?

Welcome. For meeting like minded people I would suggest you join the SAD Lanndrover club. They often have landing days around your area.

Nice choice. It probably will never depreciate but look after it as they are target for thieves.

I lifted my old D1 with spacers. Worked fine. But needed to buy +2” rear shock as the originals topped out and had to refit the rear ARB using tow bar spacers.

I feel now forced into a confession. My current vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee, with the 2.7 merc diesel, 2” lift and a set a kumho MT 51 knobblies. Please forgive me LZers.

I think my choice would be a rust free 300 TDI discovery auto with air con and without sunroofs. Good luck in trying to find one!

They would be a lot better if the rear overhang wasn’t so huge. Add a tow bar an things get even worse. If I ever end up owning one, my first job will be a 2 inch lift.

Yes, take it off and put it back on. Did it flip because you have a lift? I so buy a couple of towbar spacers to give the ARB the same lift as your truck. You could remove it but it will fail the next MOT because of it and refitting mine probably saved me from flipping onto its side on a French...

For Scotland you will need a heater that works. For Morocco you will need air conditioning. For the European motorways you will need something with a bit of go in it so you're not stuck with all the lorries in the slow lane. You would be better off with something that is simple and easy to fix...

Solent and district land rover club ( SADLRC ). Highly recommended.
