    Let's talk about bushes ( no sniggering please)

    Polybush is actually a brand. Do you mean them Or more generically? How much do you want to spend. What do you want to achieve. And will you be fitting yourself?

    33" tyres too big?

    Thanks. Full build thread here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/200tdi-s3-88-pas-long-travel-suspension-rebuild.298104/ I assume you aren’t U.K. based? Those 225/95 tyres look interesting. But getting hardly any search results back on them. I too am a fan of tall skinny tyres. I have...

    See my post above…. ;);)

    33" tyres too big?

    What is your intended use and what rims and other mods do you have? The 2.25 diesel is likely to lack power on and off road for such a tall tyre. A 255 is also too wide for standard Series wheels. If you have suspension flex you may find they will want rub in a few places. To maintain...

    33" tyres too big?

    Where are you seeing 225/95/16’s???? Never seen or heard of that. Surely there can’t be any decent tread patterns if they exist. Or are you looking at tractor tyres or something???

    33" tyres too big?

    Clearly you have never heard of 9.00 x 16 tyres which were used on Land Rovers and have a bigger sidewall.

    No just no. So much wrong with this post….

    33" tyres too big?

    What makes you say that? It’s nonsense so I’m curious as to why?

    Geforce dashboard

    Do you know what sort of money they are to get to the U.K.?

    Freelander 2 (LR2) FL2 viscous coupling?

    Didn’t JLR sell a 2wd model. Wouldn’t it just be easier to get one of those or at the very least upgrade (if you can call it that) to a 2wd Disco Sport/Evoque.

    LandRover Discovery custom ACE removal

    ACE is pretty much the main reason to own a D2 IMO. Getting rid of it is just a waste 🙁

    Engine swap

    Why would anyone. Utter stupid idea tbh.

    Death wobble, but only some times

    Could be many things. If the wheels are not new and haven’t changed. It probably isn’t them. I’d guess phasing of the tyres. Ie both being in a matched position is the cause of it being intermittent. Drop arm ball joint would be the first thing I’d change. If you get someone to rock the...

    Tow points

    Pretty sure they are for recovery too, there are provisions on non military vehicles like a Discovery 1. Which would never need to be tied down in the same manner. They are also a part available from your local LR dealer. Military only components would likely not have been available to the...

    Tow points

    So as others have mentioned. Land Rover never supplied or sold the Defender model with any form of front tow or recovery point. Something you might consider odd given the type of vehicle it is. There should be a lashing eye at the front used to tie the vehicle down and in a pinch move it on...

    Tow points

    Well what do you want a tow point for? As in, what sort of activity. Is it only for if you break down? Or do you plan to off road at any point? How do you plan to attach something to the vehicle to tow with? There are a number of options. Do you have a budget in mind? Eg some bumpers can have...

    My new Landy project

    Yes sadly we all need an MSUK RS Clubman’s licence these days. Although it is currently free and just a small admin task. Here is a list of clubs: https://alrc.co.uk/clubs/member-clubs/#Local%20Area%20Clubs Somerset & Wilts or Wye & Welsh might hold events with min driving distance depending...

    Getting AT tyres, best wheel size?

    More sidewall means there is more flex in the tyre to mould to the uneven surface off road. The taller sidewall will also mean the rim is less vulnerable. And in rocky driving if you pinch the tyre the bigger sidewall is less likely to rupture and tear due to having more movement. You’ll also...

    My new Landy project

    You can pick up a Freelander 1 or 2, Disco 3 or Range Rover Sport cheap these days. Obviously not quite the same as an old Series or 90. But with the standard traction control they can be quite competitive. Especially if you don’t setup a stick trial. Eg a Disco 3 could easily drive an obstacle...
