Also as tyre pressure lowers the difference in rolling radius between the belts and the tread blocks results in more flex and scrubbing of the tread blocks as they enter and leave the contact patch.Quote:

Well that's my story anyway.:angel:
No problem Dizza, just pm me your email address & I will send you a copy. It is a 3.0 MB JPEG, taken on my point & shoot Panasonic.Quote:

Or the lack of it...:o
The other comment I meant to make before is... the higher ratios give softer/quieter ride, but the lower ones give more 'handling' / harshness and noise. Which means in theory, your standard tyres are 'nicer' riding - part of the Range Rover mystique...
Pic looks very nice indeed...:)
Well here is a blast from the past. Whilst spring cleaning the shed I came across my wife's old Compaq Portable computer vintage Feb 1987 or so. This took me back to 1988 in Singapore where we used a not so portable Compaq to perform FADEC fault dumps on JT9D & PW4000 EEC's. So set it up for a Rangie fault dump:

Seems to suffer the same problems the one at work did:(.
Now what to do with it, as we are trying to declutter but its been in the family a long time. Wonder what happened to my old Apple 2C Plus?
Phil, many thanks for this - excellent, and I'm about to do the mod.Quote:

Could you please confirm? If I'm not making sesnse, I'll send a diagram.

Gavin, the new location of the ball joint mounted on the body is 385mm lower than its original position. This puts the centre of the ball about 35mm above the top edge of the lower tailgate (with the tailgate closed), and about level with the bottom edge of the body-mounted plate carrying the UPPER tailgate locking mechanism. Does this help?
