Brian /Chris if they come off easy that would be great but if its anything like the one i did then don't want to put you to any trouble. Needs to be later type with track rod end and not the ball joint.
Thanks
Thanks

thats for a disco, the disco damper is pin to pin most of the brackets are for a disco, there are some for the defender, but it would not take much to make one or convert the disco one. New drop arm is about £40 then you know the taper is good, new steering arm and a ball joint or 2.

I'll put up a picture for you or better still ask Mike to check it as I'm on nights this week so not sure when I'll be down there.

Hope the new arm does you good Geoff, should be a straight bolt on.
Anyone up for laning this weekend? Wanna give mine a good try out in some muddy stuff...

Take it off open it up clean and grease it, could just be crapped up. if the brushes have gone you can probably get a set off ebay for peanuts.

Here's a question as I'm bored and trying to decide what I want next.
Which would you pick to have as a second car/greenlaner/crap weather hack.
Pre-facelift Discovery II V8 ES or a early facelift P38 V8?
Both come under similar sort of price bracket but I can't decide which one I'd prefer.

Cheaper to buy, better for towing the car trailer and they make a yummy noise 
Found one of each on ebay as a guide to what I'm looking at:
Landrover Discovery 2 v8i | eBay
1999 LAND ROVER RANGEROVER 4.0 BLUE T & T P/X WELCOME | eBay

Chris I'd go with the disco, p38 is loverly but can be a bastid when the electrics start going wrong, when I had mine and the elecy bits started to go it was time to get rid, also with the v8 you got to watch out for overheating probs and slipped liners lots of money to fix your choice thou mate

P38 with the BMW diesel engine... Tuneable, powerful and extremely reliable, will pay for itself in fuel savings very quickly...
Otherwise disco V8, P38's are very pricey to repair when they go wrong, they do look better tho...

Aye, I'm gonna keep my eye on them and TD5's over the next couple of months. Turns out my 3 door has MOT for a few weeks longer than I thought.
Just getting bored of Disco 1's lol

I know someone who'll have the engine.
Personaly I'd go for the Disco, P38's are well known for electric's.
I picked up a cheap trailer tonight for camping & the bloke had a P38 stuck on his drive, He got his money back from the garage cos electric's & it's still sitting there 3 weeks later.
