I have noticed that where the front bumper meets the lights, on the near side there is a gap I can just get my finger tip into and on the off side it is hard and tight up against the light. Also on the near side the end cap hangs lower than the wing and on the off side the end cab is next to the wing.
Could this just be the bumper has been hit or have I hit something harder than I thought and twisted my front end? to do this I would have had to twist the chassis too wouldnt I?
Slightly worried!
-
There's room for movement in the bumper. Loosen the bolts holding it to the chassis members and you can shove it up and down a bit.

Could this just be the bumper
I would imagine so. To twist your chassis, I think it would need a really good impact.
-
I know for sure I havent hit anything really hard. I am not the kind of person who goes off roading and does things to potentialy damage the disco. A good days off roading for me is to come home with no damage. I will need to look into the bumper a bit more. Maybe a helping hand from another 4x4 owner and a tow rope may help? :lol:

i would try as thermidorthelobster said try undoing the bolts and pushing it upwards so that it also touch's

i may give the unbolting tecnique a go first as I have spanners where as I dont have another 4x4 handy :lol:

If it does need a tweak with a winch mate, let us know when you are down in reading and I can do the honours with the wrecker truck or Disco.

Nooooo. Cant take disco. No mud or towing involved and far too expensive on fuel to take for a road trip. I will be taking the much cheaper on fuel option, my rover 620. 38mpg vs 22mpg. No brainer really! :lol:

HA!
You think that's bad???? Plenty of people here have seen Piglets body mounts .......
I think if you search on here there's a post about it, but let's just say there's about 1/2-1 inch differnce from side to side on my chassis and it is WITHIN LR tolerence. Bodymounts look damned odd tho. LR fit them and then mill the chassis with the mounts to sit the body straight.....

good old LR build quality then!!!
