Hi all, Does anyone have any advice regarding above? Has anyone ever changed their spot lights on their land rover a bar (soft nudge) and if so what's the ins and outs regarding the original stub (tie bar) which anchors the spots into position. Thankyou in advance Bob

Hi all, Just a quick question regarding spot lights on an a bar for my disco 2, the lights that are in need replacing can you fit any spot lights to the nudge bar or has anyone changed theirs for different spots. The reason I ask is I have seen the diameter of the stem so not sure if they...

I know well I called LR Direct and asked their advice as there were no instructions in the kit. The answer (after a while) was machine flat at the bottom. Just incase anyone else encountered this problem. My disco 2 springs which I removed (both were snapped) has flat to the top which...

Hi all Just for reference which I discovered today, the machined flat end of the front springs fits in the lower base plate whereas the tubular end locates at the top where the rubber cushion is. The tail of the machined end butts against the lug on the anti rotation plate. Finally job done!

Oh bugger ill double check tomorrow and hopefully I get this sorted I am gonna give it a go tomorrow and see if I can locate them properly on the upper seats

Yes I believe so as you don't have that extra height, although fitting the 2" longer springs and normal shocks has jumped my disco up. The stainless extension for brake cable (3 bits needed) is about £40 I just didn't fancy adding an extra job to my list if it could be avoided. I know...

Cheers for that cambridgecockney i will have a fiddle on later today to straighten the spring. I went for the TF 229 kit the reason I picked this over the TF230 was the 2" longer shocks with 2" longer springs you run the risk of stretching brake lines if you go in a large pot hole. Therefore...

This is a pic of the lower end of the spring so I'm wondering if the pig tail of the spring should be flush with the anti rotation part of the plate but I doubt this would have knocked the spring out that much?

Hi mate, Thank you for that. All the spring mounts are there and in place. The upper spring mating face to the mount isn't sitting flush. I'm just curious if the machined flat end of the spring fits to the upper or lower mount? Regards Bob

Hi mate, Thank you for your reply. Yeah I noticed all 4 springs I got are same length although they are not mating right in the upper cup. I'm not sure if they had to be installed a certain way. The upper cup has a rubber surround whereas the lower is a machined face which makes me...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has fitted terrafirma springs to their discovery 2? Reason I ask, I've fitted 2" longer springs all round and new terrafirma standard length shocks all round. The front two springs don't appear to be sat in the upper spring cup correctly. Could anyone...

Hi mate, Yeah i will do, im just working out the best way to jack the front end up (if i need to) to take some weight off the connections. it has recently been towed which is why i think the seals have gone or perished. ive seen the guide (Rave) of how to do the job with removing complete...

So once you have some movement on the drop arm (down spline) is the job pretty straight forward? I'm hoping to tackle this thursday (weather permitting).

Thats great, ive had a look and to me the pain will be removing drop link and breaking that drag link. Any tips on this? Thanks for your help with this

Hi All, I was hoping to get a little help regarding a power steering leak on the output shaft of my TD5. This has only happened today (seals on order). Ive looked at the explosion diagrams of the power steering system and was wondering if i can do this with the power steering system in...

Those systems look mint to be fair I couldn't be without mine now it's fitted. And_weidershen_pet you have done a cracking job there. Where did you get the raised dash din / dash unit from? I've tried to conceal the screen as best I can incase a tea leaf thinks it's a sat nav. I can see...

I got it off ebay mate. Theres loads of differrent types (wired / wireless) then however many LED's you want. i went for 18 and wired system. I know you can pay quite a bit for these, so i went for a cheapish one as it was just to see what difference it made, think in total it was about £30...

To be honest I only finished fitting it yesterday so havnt had much time to test it all out. I've seen other people fitting the camera behind their tow bar (ball) or to bumper so its easier to gauge the distance behind. The camera is adjustable so you can tilt it or fix it in postition then i...

Here is a pic from inside td5 of monitor showing what the camera captures (camera is fitted internally to 3rd brake light) Ill try to get some decent photos over the weekend

I will try take some decent pics over weekend of view from camera and any wiring that is visible. Again, apologies for not saying hello in hello forum.
