Does anybody recognise her??

I know nothing about off roading etc but excited to learn!
So far she seems to be driving fine and starts with no problem, steering at speed seems to be a little light and there is some play in the wheel, she also likes to get a bit of a wobble on too, I dunno if that is something to do with the suspension set up or not...

Im sure ill find some more problems as time goes on - but for now Im loving it!

Any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated,

Many thanks,

Mills

The wobble might just be down to the big tyres and out of balance wheels? A relatively cheap and easy check to carry out
It may be suspension bushes wearing too - again quite easy to get checked.

Seems a previous owner has compensated for the lift by fitting new castor arms. I don't know from the pics if they've ACTUALLY done that, but castor correction is important when fitting a lift kit I believe.

WELCOME!

:welcome:

Cheers guys, Im gunna get her booked in at a local LR specialist to give her the once over etc...hopefully everything will be ok!
