Winding out the stops won't reduced the lock anymore than it is at the mo. It just means you won't rub the arm anymore.

Search google for thunderpole.

Think it depend if its been scimmed before.

Does sound like the box is on its last legs,but then thats one of the few things that hasn't let go on my disco so never come across the symptoms.

Function before form wins out with me every time:)

Mines 1 1/2 turns to right and 1 3/4 turns to left. However im running 235/85/16 tyres with a +30mm lift with bump stops adjusted.

Thats an odd one. I've got to go out later,I'll make sure I check and get back to you.

Might be worth a google search. If I remember correctly you need to drill out the plastic to get to the solenoid. You can fit an older style solenoid,but you've got to find the live feed out the 3 wires or run another live feed on a switch.

Changed wheel bearings on passenger front as it colapsed yesterday. Took it out for a test drive and noticed a front prop uj gone. Seems like my disco going though a rough patch:)

Ha ha. I do the same with me transit bumper:)

Im liking that. Gives the old school look an update. Rap rounds are bloody usefull bush clearing offroad:)

Mines got naff all movement before the wheels start to turn,maybe an inch if that.

Get a second person to move the wheel while you have a good look at whats going on. Coulr be w couple of small things making it seem worse than it is.

Yeah thats the one.you've got an anti tamper one.if I remember correctly Its got 3 wires because of the immobiliser system. There is a thread on here somewhere about changing one like that.

Solenoid would be the main and first thing to look at. You can get away with cleaning it,but as there only a fiver to replace its easier just to go with a new one.

Fuel cut off solenoid:)

If the weather holds I'll be painting mine.Satin black with a brush and roller:) don't forget the before and after pics.

Can't help with the elctrics, but if you search there a few threads on fitting different seats. Easy job you just need a square of metal thick enouh to take your weight:)

Megasquirt might be an option for the rover lump. Mates got it fitted to his and the improvement was like night and day after he got the ecu map fiddled with.

Check the intercooler pipes aswell. They might be delaminating.
