Hello Discochimp, How thick was the metal patch you used?

Shackle or jate ring bolted directly to the chassis every time, Rope can be used but not one from halfords, you would need a proper 4x4 towing rope. Get in contact with a local 4x4 or Land Rover club they may be able to supply you with a decent rope. Talking from experience, a proper 4x4 rope...

Hi Dieselreek, It's not about posing for me, i do prefer the higher ride height and sills are off the ground slightly more giving the vehicle better clearance when driving over rough terrain especialy at moments when on a camber. Well thats what i have experienced in the past. Oh just...

Hello fellow landy lovers, I know it's all been said before....please bare with me....lol As the title says, the rear axle is off, BUT i can't make my mind up wheather i should go standard springs and coils or 2" lift, after all a deeper profile tyre will give a better ground clearance...

Well i spent 6 hours today out in the rain, the rear axle is off. I used a hilty 22v battery gun and cracked a few bolts on some other stuff.....what a tool, shame i gota give it back....lol

Hi, Thanks for the post. Hi I just finished my d1 99 on portal axles from a c306 from a volvo I took me 3 years to build and it was quite a challenge to say the least. I can drive it on the road at 100ks at 2800 rpm no problem. I have modified the TC with a 1:1 ratio from Ashcroft to be able to...

Im gona try and get a longer bar today.

Thank to everybody on your replies. I have hired a hilty wrench gun at the coct of £50 for the week. Just tried it on two axles that have been in the garden and are well rusted after three years.....wow what a tool, there are only two bolts that i did not get off after using it on caliper...

NO...There is no mention of thread direction in the manual.

Cheers mate, Its just that put me p38 in the local garage because i couldn't undo the caliper bolts only to be told they were revers thread. Made me think is it the same on the disco's. I managed to find me haynes manual just now..... so i'll look in there. Once again cheers fellow landy lover.

Hello, I'm about to remove the rear brake calipers from my disco 1, Would I be right in saying that the caliper bolts have a revers thread? As they are well rusted on I'm Gona use a wrench gun to remove them and don't fancy snapping the bolts, DOH Cheers

Hi Brettguise, Going by your info it looks like they could be 2" lift springs, i thought they were. Thanks for response.

Hello, Just taken off the rear springs of me Disco 1, they are 17" tall. What i would like to know is, and im sure one of you fine gentlemen will know the answer, Would these springs be a 2" lift or are they standard at 17" ? Cheers.
