I have got 245/75 r16 on mine. Mine fit fine but sum require 'camel cut' I guess it depends on the tolerance stack up of a few things when the car was made. In terms of the speedo, it is actually spot on now with the new tyres, before, like most cars, it was reading low. 245/70 I think are...

I am driving to Australia in July (just over 10 weeks away) and currently we have no visas, no carnet, no maps, not much equipment and at the moment my Land Rover is in the body shop after someone drove into it causing nearly £2500 worth of damage (only just escaped a write-off), it could be...

The reason the flexible section is in is that it helps stop engine vibration being transferred to the exhaust system, i assume to prevent any damage to the CAT. If the CAT is removed then i guess there is not point bothering with the flexible section either! I will look getting rid of what is...

My disco in at the body shop at the moment (costing the insurance company £2200) so i cant go out and have a look but is the down pipe section the part that runs from the manifold to the horizontal section. If i were to buy the defender non cat down pipe and the discovery centre and rear...

Hello! I am taking my 300tdi Disco on an overland expedition to Aus later in the year and I am looking into what spares I will need and can feasibly carry. For service items I will look in Heynes but what, if any, failure items should I be looking at taking? I know the chances of anything...

So either will fit, it is just a matter of if i want a CAT in there or not? I have already blanked the EGR so i might aswell go all the way and get rid of the CAT to! The hole is in the pipe between the two silencer-type boxes close to the box closest to the engine.

Hello, I was working on my car the other day and discovered a rather large hole in my exhaust pipe. Had a look on the internet for a replacement and there are two versions, one with a CAT and one without. This might be a stupid question but how do i know which one i need for my '96 300tdi...

I am currently preparing my commercial 300tdi disco for overlanding to Aus later in the year and I am planning to put in a false plywood floor at the level where the bottom of the windows would be, stuff underneath and sleep on top. The front seats have the leaver that tilts and slides them...

There is a Land Rover breakers in Bury. A1 Landrover Breakers Ltd Gate 2, Tile St Bury Lancashire BL9 5BR I have used them in the past, not sure about any others. Hope this helps.

I am doing a similar trip starting in the summer and I fitted a safari snorkel to my disco, mainly for the dust and to extend the life of the air filters, I am pretty sure the door seals would let a lot of water in if i did any deep wading! I fitted mine myself and very nearly messed it up as I...

I picked up the wheels and tyres this weekend from camskill but I haven't had to try them yet as on the way home a guy coming the other way on a small lane slammed on and locked the wheels of his defender smashing into the side of me and knocking me part way through a wall! I guess it would...

I have not bought them yet, I was going to do it today or tomorrow! How much work needs doing to fit the 265/75 on the truck (it already has low profile winch bumper and as of this weekend it will have a 2" lift)?

Sorted! I emailed both the AA and the RAC again, this time quoting the paper off the DVLA web site that says you can get them of them and The AA have responded with a phone number for the international department. One quick call to them and they are posting out the application form to me...

The carnet de passage is another document all-together. The ICMV is nothing more than the information on your V5 but in several different languages. It would be good if it was the Carnet though as: 'To take account of increased administrative costs for issuing IDPs and ICMVs, it is proposed...

Hi, I am looking at getting hold of an International Certificate of Motor Vehicles (ICMV) mentioned on several overlander web sites I can't find who issues them. The AA and RAC are mentioned but i have called both and non of the people I have spoken about have a clue what I am talking about...

Just spoken to west coast 4x4 and they could do the six wheels and tyres, fitted and balanced for £754. Looks like I will be going to Camskill for them unless there are any better suggestions. Thanks for the help!

I will give him a call tomorrow and let you know what he says.

Cheers for the help Yella, it is appreciated!

I am based near Wigan. I have managed to get in touch with Camskill Performance who will do the six tyres on modular steels for £660. It works out virtually the same price but I wont have to pay to get the wheels fitted and balanced. I take it that this is a good price? Thanks for you...

Hi, Can anyone recomend of a good place to buy some wheels and tyres for my 300tdi disco? I am after a set of 6 Kumho KL71 245/75 R16 on black steel wheels. I have been searching the net and can't seem to find much. Is it just a case of phoning round the different companies and seeing what...
