That's a disgrace .........
Most of us are linked by emails and other Forums , which has provided some very interesting conversations of late.

The only link to that site that I've seen is in your earlier post. Did rmp have it in his post?

Are you accusing us Mods of dishonesty? It sure sounds that way.

I can categorically state that I didn't put any link in my reply, I just said it had been discussed already. A search will turn up a few links. I didn't edit my post, and if anyone did they did so without triggering the audit.

I didn't mean to insult you by correcting that statement, sorry.

Well, I still don't know what happened. To be clear, Davey, I'm not accusing you of anything. Something happened and to me there's no clear evidence what happened, who, how or why, thus I need to keep an open mind on it. I'm just sorry this whole thing started.

There's no issue with linking to DISCO3.CO.UK - Dedicated to Discovery 3 and LR3 Owners and Enthusiasts or any other site. I've done it myself in the FAQ for example, and many other posts have too.

Just realised post 24 is my own, and that's EXACTLY as I originally posted it.

It is interesting that this discussion on this thread is here in full and had not been moderated.
If there is something funny going on it would not seem to be the moderators.

I have broken CV joints in my Defender befor when giving to much grunt into a turn. Sometimes this is needed when you only have 2.5 wheels on the ground. Do you get vibration at higher speeds? When the car go,s to extended mode will the bags pop? Surly they must top out at some point.

In the development of the Mitchell Bros "air up kit" which gives a selectable 35mm lift (much like DaveyBs adjustable rods can) we found there was no problem with extended mode but trying to put into super extended would put the height sensor out of range and give a suspension fault.
If you give it too much boot in extended mode on full lock you can break the CV joints. Only failures in the D3 I have heard of have ben in this situation.
No vibration at higher speeds but as Davey said get a wheel alignment done if you permanently change the rod lengths.

No worries Mods. Thanks for checking things out. **** it. Let's grab a beer. Cheers!

Davey, if you can't edit the relevant post, I can do that for you to add the correct pic and text.

that clears that up..

do we get an apology?

I would also like to point out after reading this thread that when using the photobucket site (which I use all the time) I had noticed that since they removed the 1 click on the IMG code to copy...

I have on regular occasions put more than one picture in to my threads only to realise that each time I have gone into photobucket to copy the next image to clip board, it has in fact NOT done it and I have on several occasion posted a picture of the same thing unintentionally...it drives me crackers and I dont know why it has done that...

But every time I put pictures in a thread now from photo bucket I always preview the post before hitting submit...and 8/10 I have to change some pictures that are duplicates
