    Manuals and Handy Info

    Hey there Disco Lovers,

    im a newbie and hope to become a regular on the AULRO forums.

    i hail from Newcastle and have recently bought my 2nd 4wd and it happens to be a 1999 YA compliant Disco II.

    specs as bought:

    V8 4.6l (brand new hand built for me and has 1500k on it)
    Auto
    Duel Exhaust
    standard Rims with standard BF All terrains
    Electronic Centre Diff Lock
    Dual Fuel (direct Gas Injection)
    Bull bar( not winch compatable)
    Driving lights


    things im looking at doing soon are:

    ARB Sahara Bar
    Warn Winch
    D2A light Upgrade
    2" Lift Kit
    upgrade Tyres to 265/75/16 Muddies
    Custom made roof rack(same as rover racks deluxe rack)


    i would like to hear from fellow Aulronian's regarding any ideas that would benefit my landy's look and performance.


    i would also like to find out if anyone has or knows where i can get workshop manuals for both the Disco itself and the 4.6l engine.

    look forward to hearing from you all!

    Don't believe me? Google the term. I bought two for our Peugeot 405 - they had the same part no. but gave different info, neither had the correct circuit diagrams, and both missed vital steps in the disassembly procedures of the items I was working on.

    Here's a few of their more useful manuals:

    Ron,

    i have the Rave CD already, but cannot get it to work. every time i try and open either the Rave.exe or the Welcome.pdf it tells me it cannot load Acrobat. i have acrobat loaded(Version8)

    i cannot see anywhere on the web that it shows a resolution to this. i have sent Dave (daves interesting things) an email and asked for help.


    thanks for the idea though
