Were there different ratios for diesel, v8 & mpi ?

No, its not a half chassis ! 1400mm is the standard section that replaces most at the rear, but leaves the rear trialing arm mountings on the car so there won't be any major axle alignment issues. For some reason, many people refer to the 1400mm section as a "half chassis" despite it being...

That's massively overpriced ! I fitted a 1/3 chassis (the 1400mm section) 2 years ago & it was just under £600. Others seem to have found similar during the last year. Beware that the body mount positions can need some "optimisation" to make them fit on some suppliers parts. If your shocker...

The lowering fob was a paid for optional extra. Obviously not taken up by many owners from new & probably lost / forgotten before selling the vehicle on by many of them - lol. I think it does need pairing with the car - others with more knowledge may correct me. If it does, you'll need access to...

The steering stops on the D2 only screw to a fixed position and can't be adjusted like a D1 or Defender. You could perhaps fit washers behind them to reduce rubbing, but I'd not recommend anything that reduces the D2 steering lock any further. I've actually cut my stops down to allow more lock...

When I bought my D2 modulars I was told the cone seat angle was different between the aftermarket modulars & LR Discovery 2 Commercial wheels - probably because it's cheaper to make a shallower angle on the modulars. This was the justification for them supplying wheel nuts with the modular...

Was the problem there before all of the changes ? Is it both brake pads on each of the problem brakes or only 1 ? If only 1 pad, it could be a sticking / misaligned caliper or caliper carrier. If both, potentially pressure is being trapped in the brake system & not be released to the reservoir...

The Wildbear bumper looks reasonable and appears to have a good spec (only a few appear to use 5mm steel). However, cutting your own sounds like the same "no brainer" it was for me - lol. Beware you can still hit it & break it - lol

Yes, you can do it to a pre-Facelift D2. You can remove all the area upto the section where the fog lights would be if fitted & the washer bottle stays (just) hidden. The advantage is obviously a noticable improvement to the approach angle. The disadvantage is that if you're bumper was intact...

Mine are more like an Orang Utan's - but they fit :)

+1 it's not difficult unless you've got huge hands

The Special Track's will be better than Cooper STT Pro in bad mud. The Coopers will be much better on road as they're "original" tyres rather than remoulds - which almost always have balance difficulties as the tread is so deep (some of my Special Track's have 4 layers of stick-on weights to get...

33s will give you the same under axle clearance as most Defenders, so might help, dependant on where you off-road. You mentioned using Insa Turbo tyres - but that's just a brand name of a company that make a significant range of tyres with varying compromises for off-road use. The typical...

Why spend money, when you've got a fully working system that is great for everything ?

Most Land Rovers have numerous entry points for water if you're wading. Using a raised air intake successfully to protect the engine must involve checking all joints / seals back to the air filter & typically also checking how the bottom of the air filter box allows excess water out. Often there...

+ 1 on Tayna, They've always got a good range of makes / guarantees to fit different budgets. I've always gone for options with 5 year warranties & always had the battery outlive that by many years. Always get the biggest that will fit the battery tray by checking the actual dimensions, never...

Have you checked the tracking? Excess toe out can create a very twitchy feeling / too responsive

It might be an obvious suggestion, but have you read the owners manual & also checked the relevant fuse?

Add a photo of the box and more importantly the wiring connector (s). Maybe then people will recognise it & what it does.There are various options for add-on boxes.

Can you could add a photo or service manual drawing of the parts where you have a problem to help us understand?
