    Hi Angus, U remove them & place a washer or 2 on them, the threads are pretty deep & normally have loctite on as well. So can be hard to remove.
    Cheers

    Discovery Turning Circle


    Just a note to tell you all that ten minutes work can change the poor turning circle on the 2003 model to the same as a tdi. There is a service bulletin from Land rover to all Dealers stating that the 29mm streering lock stops can be changed for 23mm stops, thus improving the turning circle 9 inches for every mm taken off the stops. The change can be done FOC by your dealer or you can buy the stops for approx £3.50. My only problem with the 03 disco was its poor lock, I had a 300tdi which I had from 18000 miles, six years later & 204000 miles I purchased a 2003 model but could not get to grip with the poor turning circle.

    Technical Bulletin 0026 CDS …. ref L8867bu …. & the 23mm lock stops. (manovering in tight spaces)

    Cheers Aston

    I have the bulletin as a pdf file if you pm me your email I will send it on.

    Didn't realise the dealers would fit them free of labour but can confirm it is definitely worth doing.

    LR will fit them for free if the car is under warranty still. Outside warranty, it will be up to each dealer if the job is done for free or not.

    If you PM it to me i can put it up on here for everyone?

    From what i gather by reading the above posts was that LR was a little conservative with the possibility of tyre scrubbing on the inner guards so the turning circle suffered as a result.

    LR installed the same "stops" regardless of the wheel width taking the lowest common denominator which is the 255/55/18's.

    Im one of those with 255/55/18's does that mean that im stuck with the poor turning circle, or is there still a gain to be had?

    The tyres scrub on the radius arms, not the inner guards. If you have sufficient clearance, you might be able to get a better turning circle.
