You've all called me out and decided its best not throw money down the drain so going to get it looked at pre-MOT - I've got 5 days left on it in any case. Any one got any idea how much this will cost to get done as spoken to a few garages and they want to see it first (obviously!). I'm fearing...

Nothing wrong with hoping - the welding will be getting done in any case, just need someone to do it as it's not a job I am willing or able to attempt (else it would have been done already). Thanks for the response

As the title suggest really - does anyone know of any reliable, local, cost effective (cheap!) garages that they would recommend in / near to Liverpool? It's in for it's mot tomorrow and hoping they don't pick it up. It's to the rear chassis on the drivers side by the air bags - see pics...

Hi Michalis +2" all round now and it works a treat. Spent the weekend laning in Wales and the improvement was unreal. The lift along with larger tyres has made all the difference there is so much life left in the old girl yet! I have not changed the bump stops no. Is this something recommended...

Having recently lifted my D2 and added bigger wheels, I now have the predicament of how I lower the tow bar to tow a trailer! The ball was height adjustable however already needed to be lowered to the lowest point to tow the trailer I use for scouts. Now it is sitting another 3-4inch's higher...

Went with the TF147's. More expensive but apparently they don't sell the 128's anymore and these replaced them.

Thanks all for your input. Fitted +2 shocks to the rear today and it has solved all the problems. Seems not doing the shocks in the first place was restricting any movement and giving the horrendous ride.

Thanks Paul I have ordered some rear shocks to replace the ones at the back and hopefully this will sort it out. Can't say for definite if small bumps are ok or not but big ones are definitely worth avoiding for the time being! Fingers crossed the new shocks solve the problem otherwise it's...

Thanks. I find it too useful to do without and after replacing the bags less than a year ago I know it's in decent working order and works. Just need to sort this small hic-cup out and it'll be all rosey again :)

That's great, thanks for your help!

Thanks, I did half think it may be them. I've not touched these, do these need to be +2 aswell to suit the rest of the mods?

Thanks Brian, had seen this post which got me thinking that I may have done something wrong. On descents it was the towbar catching which I need to keep as I tow the scout trailer and raising the SLS manually did help 90% of the time. In some situations it was the diffs plouging through the mud...

Hi Pawl, Terrafirma All Terrain Front Discovery 2 Shock Absorber - TF118

Apologies for the long post but I thought the more info I can provide the better answer I might receive. And I'm expecting the normal 'have you read the other threads' comments and my answer is yes, but I'm not sure it's cleared anything up, rather its made me wonder have I made a mistake...

http://www.halfords.com/technology/dash-cams/dash-cam-accessories/nextbase-dash-cam-hardwire-kit This was not the one I used but very similar. The one had my dad had lying about. We connected the earth via one of the scres closest to the fuse box and all seems fine. No issues in the last...

I used a connector that plugs into the fuse box in the cab direct, and holds the necessary fuse this replaces. I think from memory it was the lighter fuse. Then ran the wires up the pillar as mentioned above. Does the trick, wires all hidden and turns on and off on ignition.

...and I liked it!:) I was away with a group of Gold DofE participants in the Lake District this weekend on their expedition and brought the disco with the off chance of a play. Fortunately enough one of the other leaders (unbeknown to me) is trained in off roading and the abilities of these...

thanks, just had a read through the pre-purchase checks too. Looks like I've got a good'un!

top man, cheers. Will have a look tonight when I get home :)

Hi neilly I'm away for LZ13 unfortunately, but will be looking in the near future for greenlaning clubs to join/tag along with. Also looking at going direct to LR and having one of their instructors sit in and teach the ropes etc. - not sure if this is worthwhile but any tuition has to be...
