Ok, so let's start off by saying I've not really got a clue about CB's - but I want one set up and working properly for laning, etc. so I bought a cheap used on from eBay and wired it in to my Disco 2. As far as the wiring goes it seems fine, powers up and receives lots of static (and the...

Spare wheel cover - exactly like the picture (but the image was "borrowed" from Google as haven't got my camera to hand). Marked as fitting 255/55/R18 - and fits perfectly so long as you've got standard tyres. Selling as I've fitted General Grabber AT3s (same size as above) but as they're all...

cheers guys, will stick the fronts at 30 and rear at 38 and see how we go

Hi All, I've read through various threads on here and on other sites (thanks Google), but I keep getting quite significantly difference answers! What's the correct tyre pressure to use? I've just fitted a full set of General Grabber AT3's and want to make sure they last as well as they can...

yeah i'd read elsewhere that pre-tuned was never 100% but thought it would do me for now - not actually got much use for it before LZ13 so will bring both aerials with me an see who wants to do a little tuning in exchange for a beer on Friday afternoon (gotta help get the beer tent set up first...

Cheers for the offer - popped down to my local shop that sells CB stuff (well, they sell just about everything you can imagine - just not a huge selection of anything!). Managed to pick up a nice little springer aerial which is apparently pre-tuned - popped it on, drove up to the top of the...

Cheers Brian, i'll do that and see how things go. Might come back to you if that's ok? Maybe arrange to pop over and see you sometime if I can't get things set up properly?

Image below shows the kit I bought - aerial does seem to have bottom and centre load (from what I can tell with my limited knowledge) but, as I said, I can't find anywhere that sells anything the same so didn't really know what it was and whether it's any good or not?? It's certainly not springs...

I've got a dash-mount switch pod and it's mounted to the top of that - pretty much top centre on the dash. Then on the back of the car there's about 3 inches of gutter either side of the rear door so I've got work lamp fitted passenger's side and aerial fitted driver's side - both mounted with...

Ok, well that sorta makes sense - just sounds a little above my techy-knowledge abilities! The thing that's puzzling me is that I can't seem to find anything the same as the aerial I've got listed anywhere - i'm wondering if it's old, foreign, or simply not supposed to be used with the kit I've...

Just started to install CB set-up in My 2004 Disco 2 - put the main unit in yesterday all powers up and working fine, aerial in on a gutter mount on the back of the vehicle. The CB is a Jesan KT-4004, bought 2nd hand from eBay but seems to be working fine (powers up, does what it should, PA...

Thanks for the comments and support - I've spent all day cleaning it, tidying up, replacing missing screws and bolts (fuse box under steering wheel wasn't even bolted in, they'd taken it out and lost the bolt somehow - lucky I've always got a box of nuts and bolts spare!! :)) Anyway, after...

Thanks for the heads-up, that might make for another interesting conversation then - as I asked them 2 or 3 times if they needed the other set of keys and was told absolutely not (but then again, they also said that the other set of keys would work, which they don't). I'm still not 100%...

Well, after lengthy discussions with DBL Landrovers (where it was taken by my local garage) it turns out BCU had blown a chip and was dead - they couldn't pinpoint cause (suggested it's like anything electric and they just sometimes go pop and that's it, a bit like an old TV going pop and not...

Cheers Neilly - will let you know the outcome once I've spoken to them tomorrow.

Yes, got the EKA code - but not been asked for it yet, gonna ring them tomorrow and ask if they need it.

I've not actually seen it since it went in and I can't for the life of me work out what they would have needed to plug in for just to wire up some lights? I don't think they've even started to have a look at the T/C or the pulley squeal yet. Apart from that, they KNOW I've got a Hawkeye and it...

Ok, so just when I thought things were going well with the Disco - sorted the starting issue with new injector washers and seals - and having had a nice week in Devon towing the caravan without any issues, then things go wrong again! Took it in to my local garage to get some additional lights...

sounds good then - to be honest I wasn't all that worried, if i'd got stuck in a field full of Land Rovers and between us we couldn't get out then it would probably have been buried deep enough that it wasn't worth recovering. :)

If all goes to plan then we'll be heading off mid-morning - want to get there early enough to find the best spot for the caravan (in other words the flat bit that's too deep in grass and where the ground is solid enough we don't sink overnight (fingers crossed it won't rain that much - want a...
