There was a similar lift kit for the Freelander1. It was even LR approved up to 2" of lift, any more than that and the drive shafts wore out rather quickly! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The LR RRS/LR3 specific 18" rims are made of a weaker material and hence need more thickness so they don't clear the calipers. It's not much of a modification - a small piece of alloy is turned around. I'm not sure about the post 2006 FFRR 18" rims though - the FFRR comes with the same brakes but the LR brochure shows an 18" rim as an accessory - way more expensive than the Compomotive rim for some reason..... Cheers. |

The real world application, as shown on the Bowler website, of what the Nemesis is subjected to (with the Compomotive rims) is stuff my RRS will hopefully not be exposed Though it does demonstrate their capability to take the punishment and the wider choices of tyres for 18" rims, at this price, make this a magnificent deal! |

TUV is the German equivalent of the the British Standards Institute or whatever it is now called T = Technischer U = Uberwachungs (there should be an umlat (two dots) above rthe U but I cannot find it in my computer! V = Verein According to my books it " tests the safety of technical installations, machinery and motor vehicles. All motor vehicles over three years old must have a TUV test every two years. If it fails it must be deregistered and taken off the road. The TUV also carries out safety tests on a wide range of products. If they pass the test products are allowed to carry the GS (geprufte sicherheit) seal. The independance of the TUV means that this seal is regarded as a guarantee of good quality and reliability" http://www.tuv.com/de/en/index.html 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it 2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced 2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW |
