This is normal, 33" tyres will fix it Its also the reason why unrealistic (optimistic) fuel consumpton figures are sometimes quoted.

Shouldn't be,if you're speedo's over reading fitting bigger tyres should improve this.

Worse speedo reading? Or worse fuel economy?

Pretty sure the spare wheel thingy is simply called the spare wheel winch.

The wiring loom at the back of my FFR was (and is) a dog's breakfast. Terrible mess. Took me hours to piggyback a 7pin socket off the NATO trailer socket. And that was with a NATO wiring diagram I found on ... the Internets. Hmm.

Lucky for me the electrics up front were ok. The ADF (or AFM?) even kindly bypassed the (dodgy) instrument dimmer dial for me.

What was the point of this comment? It didn't answer his question, didn't help anyone, and is also untrue.
