    happened across a 96 discovery today - is this suspension stock?

    Disco 2 and later TD5s came with air (rear) suspension. Common faults include compressor failures (compressor it'self, or solenoid valves) and the obvous air leaks. Compressor mounted in a really daft place for a 4x4 that might get into some mud and water (under the floor, RHD passenger side -...

    Andriod 'phone - trip meter

    Hi guys, I'm looking for an app to run on an android 'phone that will work as a trip meter - mainly for use on tulip rallies. I have Dashboard on the Iphone and Ipad, which works well, except is doesn't run in the back ground very relaibly - but both the Idevices also get used for other stuff...

    Tents, Trailers and Dogs

    Not sure why you should worry about the winters. With the right sleeping bags etc... you'll be fine. Our dog sleeps in a cage (either in a ground tent or the back of the truck), if it's cold, she has a winter coat and blankets, but then our winters aren't as cold as yours. You could fit a night...

    Mattress for sleeping in car

    Most roof tents have foam matresses, both ours have memory foam - the most comfortable camping nights sleep you'll ever have. In fact, on a par with the memory foam we have on the matress at home. In the roof tent, they fold up with the tent as it's folded away, but I'd imaging, they could be a...

    Is this the all-new 2015 Defender?

    Does that not go back to the days when Landrover were owned by Ford anyway? (2000 - 2008)

    Help with new iPad air nav

    It depends on how good the cellular signal is, if you have a good 3 or 4G signal, it'll load and maintain the maps as you go. Of course, you using large amounts of data doing it this was. If you have plenty of memory, the best way is to download the maps onto the Ipad and then turn off mobile...

    Custom Rear Bumper Build

    Like the idea of the kitchen on a swing away. Might change mine and do away with the jerry can holder for the same idea. Also, watch how you fit the release handles for the swing aways, on mine (it's an African Outback bumper), they don't open far enough when the hitch reciever is fitted, so...

    Steering damper for 2004 L200/Strada/Triton

    My truck is a 2004 UK L200 - otherwise know as a Strada or Triton elsewhere in the World. I'm looking for a steering damper kit for it. I know a few who have made dampers and brackets fit from other vehicles, but I'd prefer to find something made for the job. Any ideas where to look - Google...

    Apparently, the insert image function isn't working too well. Work around is to type: Where xxx is the url of the image - making sure the url ends in .jpg.

    The evolution of L200 NB

    Just found a picture of it in 2010 that I'd forgotten about. There's a green lane called Walna Scar Road in the UK's Lake District that is considered by many as one of the best tracks in the country, climbing over a fantastically scenicmountain pass. The track was closed as a vehicular right of...

    The evolution of L200 NB

    2004 Mits L200 Warrior. Bought at 6 months old in Feb '05 as a family tow car and for a bit of green laning. This was how it looked in Mar '05, just two weeks after we bought it. Over the years it's been somewhat modified. I dread to thnk what it's cost, both in mods and adding kit as well...
