Re: New Rear Spring Kits For Traveller

GSJones are one of the few companies that have a decent reputation in the Land Rover world, seems like they might over here as well.

Re: Telescopic Dampers

If the vehicle is lowered and the bump stop sawn off shorter, it will allow you reduce the stroke applied to the damper, by leaning it over a bit.

Sorry, I wasn't clear before.

Re: Minor Identification Booklet

Yes, go for a refurb, or even a new one may make sense, you can get quite decent ones for £400, and then you know the hardware and software will be up to date, you have a warranty, and are not buying an out of date crock!

Re: Tyre & Upper Trunnion Clearance

Spacers are not a terrible idea as long as the studs are long enough, especially if you only need a couple of mm.

Re: Telescopic Dampers

I seem to remember the differing holes were for use when the vehicle was at standard ride height or lowered.

Re: Sidevalve head removal issues. Help!

Citric or oxalic acid ( both available on eBay) are great at removing rust without harming the underlying metal.

You could build a dam round the studs and fill with acid solution and leave to work.

Re: Traveller Tuning

To be 30psi, I would suggest stuck or broken rings, yes. A burnt valve is more likely to give you zero.
