    I'd PM slunnie,,
    but the limits are VERY easy to remove,,
    and if you take off too much--
    very easy to add a washer to restore!

    When I found this thread I thought that my prayers had been answered.

    Having moved recently from a Disco 1 to a Disco 2 I like everything about the new beast EXCEPT the turning circle. I have nearly clipped the bus a number of times in carparks, and had to reassess U-turns due to the difference.

    I went to remove my bump stops but currently neither of them is touching! The right hand one would be about 10mm short and the left about 5mm.

    Any thoughts??

    Cheers - David

    The D2 with 18's will need a MUCH bigger circle than with 16's,,,

    neither are really good in carparks,,

    hmmm there is a post in here somewhere about steering stop lengths,,

    I gotta say, the turning circle on my D2 is attrocious compared to my RRC and thats with the 23mm stops!

    The RRC does half a cul de sac, the D2... well... lets just say i see both sides close up!!

    Cheers

    I have no problems with "her" DiscoTD5 doing U turns, it turns tight enough for me.
    BUT it might be only comparative
    I drive "my" Series3 109 tray back, and compared with my mates F150, even the old series3 turns tight.

    My concern would be the extra stress put on the swivel joints.
