I can't help with the problem, but I feel sorry for Ian as I'm far too aware of what pressure from SWMBO is like.

Good luck (You'll need it!)

Tim.

Hi,
I had a similar issue with my 91J plate about 4 years ago. I parked next to Piglet and noticed the lean to the right. I decided to get something done about it and had a Scorpion 2" lift fitted and (touch wood) she's been fine ever since.
Most likely reason for the lean is that the springs are simply tired. After all they've been carrying 1.5 ton around for 13 years.. :shock:

TimM:
If it was still on its original springs or the cange was a long time ago then - If the springs are 'tired' you could try swapping them over from left hand side to right and vice versa, but not from front to rear, unlike the Defenders everything I've seen re Discoverys suggests they are the same on each axle. But I would check first.

If possible, this would identify if they are at fault as your Disco should then lean the other way if they are worn out. You never know it might balance it out!

If it leans the other way then you can be sure some new springs will correct the problem, either standard, or you may feel this would be the time to raise it or stiffen it (or both!).

This would be a lengthy job, and not one I would want to tackle myself, but it is an option.

BUT, you say you have changed the shocks AND springs, assuming this was recently then I would ignore everything I've said in this post, as they should not be worn already.

Tim.
