Oh bugger :eek: that magic word Castor appeared..........trust me to get it wrong! :rolleyes: Clicky the link ... :x: QT Radius Arms

Yella Disco, Im not nitpicking mate but I never mentioned castor angles, I said camber ( - camber = top of wheels are tipped in, + camber = bottom of wheels are tipped in) What I was planning on doing was going on a pay & play day whenever possible, I dont want to trundle up farm tracks I...

Raising the body a couple of inches to accomodate tyres with a taller sidewall? That way they dont foul on the bodywork

Errrm... read the bit about the /85 section tyres......... that WILL raise the diff compared to standard tyres! Its always better to read fully before posting with a hair trigger :rolleyes: :p

I have been told that the only part of a Disco that grounds out is the diff so the way to go ( apparently) is a 2" suspension lift & a set of 235/85/16 BFG A/T tyres. Reading on the net I see the 2" lift causes camber problems that have to be rectified by fitting different arms. THEN I read that...

Surely the combination of left & right turns on the key will not be the same for all Disco's or we could all go round starting each others engines. Its exactly the same system as on Rover cars so a few questions on some of the Rover forums might get more answers. The Spider sounds like a good...

You could put a smear of washing up liquid or hand cleaner in the end of the hose to help it slip on

The EGR will be getting bypassed straight away ;) matey at Home reckoned I could wind the wastegate screw in a full turn & back off the pump a little along with a single box exhaust to make it fly. I cant wait to collect it :D

Well, I took it for a testdrive today, service history stamped up till 101K miles ( its got 119K miles on the clock). I was incredibly impressed & surprised how well it pulled........ 3 ft of accelerator pedal movement though :rolleyes: I lifted the boot carpet & all was well ( minor rust in...

I was speaking to someone today Home & he reckoned a diesel doesnt need a cat & they do a pipe to replace the centre box with apparent gains.

Surely theres a valid argument regarding the size of half an oildrum? My days of collecting cars are long gone but as I see it you have a couple of options. 1. fall out with family... no need for a BBQ 2. force BBQ into corner of patio thereby allowing space for the Panda ON THE PATIO :D

That is enlightening, I didnt realise they used 'pool petrol' the other side of the pond. 92 RON cheapo nasty unleaded is the equivalent of our old 2 star so 89 RON must be quite awful. No wonder they need 7 litre engines over there :p :D

Mine is still on 'L' plates after a record 17 years, she has her own car ( '98 Fiat Brava 1.6 SX auto.... its excellent before it gets a slating :rolleyes: & it only cost £300 with less than 70K miles) & she will not be getting behind the wheel of MY Disco, I'm selling my bike & part of the...

Im not touching the Monterey, the cambelt is £48, tensioner just over £200 & idler over £50.... & that was 10% discount at the local Vauxhall dealer, added to which a bit of homework on t'internet advised that it would need a new turbo anytime soon! Im taking the Disco for a testdrive on...

Its only got the 2 doors anyhow so I suppose I will get used to it.... pity it hasnt got aircon though, I could remove the winders then :D Im very lucky having a mate thats a car dealer, he bought it today off a dealer higher up the foodchain & knew that I wanted a 4x4, he has a Vauxhall...

Yes thats exactly what I was on about... thanks for that ;)

I have been offered a P reg 300 Tdi 3 door Disco today, its poverty spec ( wind up windows) but the engine / box are as sweet as a nut, the bodywork is exceptional apart from approx 6" on the leading edge of the drivers door skin. It needs a valet & the paint is dull ( flat red) but it seems to...

As I am not willing to circulate any discs, I cant see that I might infringe any copyrights, I merely offered to forward on something I obtained on ebay a couple of years ago, some resourceful soul seized the opportunity & any discs I had have been forwarded on to him/ her. Anyone wishing to...

I believe the Volvo 400 series had heated washer jets ( the 480 I had for a while certainly had them fitted because I was really impressed when I discovered them). It wouldnt be a massive job to fit them / sort out wiring /relay / fuse / switch etc & given the fact we have 4 seasons every day...
