Thanks just gave me something todo over Christmas that was inside and warm 😁.

There's a lot of debate about timing a Series 3 2.25 Diesel engine – whether special tools are essential or if experience can suffice. While I've successfully timed Land Rover fuel pumps manually, I prefer to have the right tools for the job. Over the Christmas break, I decided to design a...

I have lanoguarded them since I took the picture earlier inuse it on all the chassis inside and out and it works bloody brilliantly.

Good evening all So tonight I managed to knock off work early and it wasn't raining so nipped out and swapped the other spring. Left shackles loose took it for a drive round then parked on nice flat ground check the suspension height and talked it down. it was 114mm from chassis to axle...

There the fixing for the cat flap stays and locking pins. Ric

Yeah they had part numbers on but I also double checked the one with the most camber went on drivers side same as did when I fitted the rear. Ric

Good Afternoon, all So I got up early this morning before the weather turned and popped on the driver's side front spring. See attached it's lifted the vehicle about 10/15mm. I stood the old and new spring next to each over and height wise they was basically the same but the difference I saw...

Just to give you all an update, my new springs have arrived. Once the weather dries up, I'll get them fitted and report back.

I bought the vehicle as someone else's failed project and I have spend slot if time correcting things that just wasn't right mainly bolt just finger tight or things just installed wrong so changing the springs get me back to a known state also it means I get to play on the landrover a bit longer...

Okay so I have measured the hangers and center to center is 90mm so I have just bit the bullet and order a pair of from springs from paddocks OEM spec so let's see f new springs sort the issue. Thanks Ric

Perfect thanks I will measure my hangers abit later, both springs are exactly the same both side I'm sure they didn't use to be this close either. Thanks Ric

Good morning all, @steve2286w please see attached pictures. Thanks Richard

I will try and get a picture tomorrow, I fitted new springs on the back because when I bought it the truck all sat cock eyed, I think the springs was on the wrong side but I decided to do all the bushes and replace spring on the rear. Front I just dropped the springs down and replaced the...

Do I need to jack the vehicle up with the wheel off the ground to measure them or is that stood normally on its wheels? Thanks

I don't know as I have never changed the front springs. But these springs do look different then the rear the loops around the bush are shaped different. As far as I know there correct is there anyway to measure them and tell? Thanks Richard
