I wondered something similar. I have 285/75/16 tyres on and it's lifted with body cut to take the tyres. However, with a 2" lift it doesn't look like the body needs modification, when I change I will be moving to 245/75's after the wheel arches have been replaced and new front wings put on...

Can anyone help? I found a translator for the VIN but interestingly the digit related to the engine is not listed. Characters eight and nine of the plate are the engine and gearbox type. On my VIN it's 73. The 3 is correct - 3 spreed auto, but the 7 for engine type is not listed. I might have...

Well, with all the body welding required, the arbs can wait. Sills, rear arches, rear boot space edges (what are they called? o_O) bit of front inner wing and bit of drivers floor. All interesting stuff.

Yes, it has the marks where the arb brackets have been cut off the chassis (96MY). It's down to interpretation - I know my MOT guy very well and he's going to double check, but that's not the issue. The issue is that with 2" lift and 75 tyres, it's not stable above 55mph (ish). I need to have it...

So the new addition was put on the ramps and a list made of what it needed to pass an MOT. Quite a bit of welding on body parts, but at least the chassis is in great condition. Given what needs doing I may sort out all the wheel arches to get them back to standard. It has 2" lift and 75 tyres on...

Blimey, as a new member and having been out of Land Rovering for a while I must say that the level of tolerance and friendliness has dropped a considerable amount, or is that just this forum? As for those who are fond of pointing out inaccuracies - I like to do that too sometimes - what we call...

I don't know at what point (if at all) that Land Rover went OBDII compliant. But if your vehicle is, then you can get a diagnostics app for about a tenner for your phone (free for some features) plus a wifi transmitter to plug in (15 quid off ebay) and you will be able to diagnose yourself. I...

That's what I meant Brian, if all else fails, I will break it.

I'm happy to go along with that. The reason I asked the question is that I am replacing all the lights, front and rear as none of them are in good condition. I have indicators, just need the headlights. They also both have cracks that will fail an MOT, although lack of anti roll bars is the...

This is the front. Just noticed - two different lights - Doh!

It's a 96 Discovery. It's actually a D1. However, it has been extensively modified in a number of ways that the previous owners did not record. The front end, the lights and part of grille are either D2 or a face-lift of the D1 - interestingly the same front as the diagram on the Haynes...

Can anyone tell me - I can seem to find dimensions, if the later pre-facelift "dark" D2 headlights are the same dimensions as the earlier "standard" lights. I have the earlier lights on my D2, but can get some dark ones but various information indicates they can be fitted to 1999 on cars, mine...

Cool. Thanks. Yes, I haven't checked for the brackets yet!

Hi. I've just got a Disco 1 (200tdi) which has been extensively modified (and in places, not that well) for off road use. One of the modifications was the removal of the anti-roll bars. Now, I need to use the Disco on the road more than previous owner, so it's important for it to handle...

Just saying hello. Been into Land Rovers for many years, but recently been without. Just purchased a very battered Disco 1 and in the process of listing all the job to do. Cheers.
