Range Rover Blues:
Yes I know the steering box goes about 3 3/4 turns, so does mine and I spent ages finding the mid-point. Then i found out the correct procedure for setting it up. Disconnect the drag link and turn fully left, 2 complete turns back to the right is the centre point.

Righty ! Job Done
Just replaced the steering bars ( both of em) on my 300tdi and also my TD5.
td5 steering box has a locater for the centre position but I will say one word of warning...there is a good quarter turn (steering wheel) across the area whereby it still looks 'centered'. Anyway, TD5 with BFG AT's I set-up using a tape measure, and, for now am pretty chuffed with the results!
Only bad thing, turns out the steering wheel isn't on straight :roll: so I disconnected the battery and left for a bit to ensure safety with the airbag only to find that someone has rounded off the torx bolts that hold the airbag! - Plan is to disconnect steering linkage and straighten up the wheel that way.
The TDI: Was really quite simple. Although I worked on 1.8 turns as opposed to what is written above - seems ok?
On a side note. the TD5 also has had new suspension and ball joints at the hub and it has highlighted just how damn stiff the sidewaals on the BFG AT's are!
