I'm going to do a photo album of the work, start to finish. First things first is to work out the body lift required, I need to work out the amount of suspension travel the classic has and lift it by this amout minus the amount I cut out of the arches. I'm going to steer away from a lift kit as...

to late!! the order was made this afternoon, no turning back now. need to do some measuring first and then some cutting and then some more cutting. then I can work out the level of lift i need in the body. plus i'm trying to find some arch extensions. any idea anyone?

lets be honest, who did get a rr to fly round corners!! you could hardly say it handled on rails to begin with!! The reason I started the thread was i've seen a crackin wheel and tyre deal and as mine are all but done I thought about buying them, there 33/12.50/15 on white 7 spokes, I'm sure I...

I've always wanted to do something daft like that, I mean who as a 5 year old didn't want a bigfoot for themselves!! I would imagine your mate has had to do some severe bodywork mods to avoid rubber/body contact on full articulation. I've got a 2" lift kit on mine and was toying with a body lift...

has anyone any experience or know of someone who's fitted silly size tyres to a classic? talking 33" tyres here, I know its a stupid idea but someone must have been mad enough to try it!!

Managed to fully disengage it, thanks for the advice, just ran up and down the drive whilst shifting the ratio stick about, sure enough, clunk bang click its all fine. I proably only did 6 miles with it engaged and luckily the route home was all town on a friday afternoon so as you can imagine I...

Just been playing round with the motor a '88 3.5 auto and had the diff lock engaged just to see the difference when in a field. Now i've shifted the lever back to disengage the diff but my light is still on, is there a way to test if the diff is still really locked or not? cheers

Is the 4.0 a push rod or OHC, forgive my ignorance!! if its a push rod then its a fairly easy job, no cams to dial in, more plug and play. all you would need to find then is a decent machinist to skim the heads and do the labour yourself. just an idea and better than getting stung for 3k!! if...

Hi, Does anyone know of a good reference for finding out where all my vacuum hoses should be running on my 3.5 efi, some pipes are connected but some aren't and there's nothing in the haynes that I can see. Or does someone have a 3.5 that they could have a look at and take notes? When I...

Mylo, I'm relatively new to the range rover scene but have owned enough cars fram various dealers to develop a good nose for sniffing out bullSh1t. If you have driven 2 other identical models with no such fault then i think you can safely assume that it is not a common fault, and if it was a...

I'm refering to a 2" suspension lift, i'm faced with some what of a dilema, my standard suspension is done, so do i spend circa £100 for standard kit or go for circa £200 for the lift kit bearing in mind i want to get into the off roading now i've had my first few goes.

well i've got the size sorted now, 235/70/16, but now for the make, anyone with any experience of bf goodrich at's? or has anyone tried the new insa turbo remoulds? or heard anything about either? on another matter has anyone carried out a 2" lift on a classic and what problems did you...

the time has come to replace my tyres on my classic, and was wondering whats the biggest tyre you can get on the standard rim, just want to beef them up a bit as personally i feel the 205 looks a little under sized, any input on experiences with various sizes and makes would be appreciated. Matt

carole nash supplied me with a competitve quote, but the difference wasn't enough from my current insurer to go through the hassle of cancelling, getting proof of no claims, setting up direct debit etc. so i satyed with sainsbury's. 26 yrs old, clean license, 8 yrs ncd, £340 on a 88 3.5 v8, it...

Hello, New member here and even newer RR owner, just got myself a '88 Classic 3.5, she's pretty sound but just a few niggling points. I'm not convinced the Air Flow Sensor is working properly, is there a test for this unit, ie expected resistances, or is it just a case of get a new one and see...
