I use axle stands under the chassis, just behind the radius arm mounts.

Durham 4x4 at Bowburn South Industrial Estate should be able to help. There advice/diagnosis will probably work out cheaper than changing stuff for the sake of it.

Yup, my 04 doesn't have the plug at all.

And to be honest I've never found any water in my filter either so don't bother draining it anymore.

Low range as said above - you have it, use it. If your green laning there's no rush anyway, you can trundle along in low box right up to 5th gear Wink

Have you actually used your disco off-road or on a green lane yet?

If you are ging to do something like this I think that you need to do it properly. If you can't afford to do it right tehn don't do it at all.

Many thanks for that. It is a single axle, I shall go for 45psi Cool

Sorry for the hijack Terrence Smile

Thanks, there's nothing about tyres written on the trailer. I shall get some stickers made up when I know what should go on them.

Not totally off-topic Smile

There is a Pay & Play site at Robin Hoods bay, we haen't been but it looks good. Might be worth doing a google search for?

Enjoying reading this and seeing your pics. Cheers Cool

For my money, the Traction control is pants!!
