I was worried mine might break or be badly corroded so bought new before even taking the hubs off. I probably could have got away with the originals but for the sake of £11 I thought it wasn't worth it.

Cracked the windscreen. Replacement being fitted on Thursday.
Didn't half go with a bang, nothing showed initially, then a split appeared and extended.

MOT'd it
Fitted new brake shoes and track rod ends last week then on Sat I checked lights etc then power washed underside and cleaned outside and in and she flew through.
Now just have to figure out why the header tank was empty.

I'm expecting a bit of a lift above original [new] height of about 20mm.

Replaced brake disks this evening. Never changed disks before so was surprised how easy the job is. The longest part was cleaning up the new disks. They were new genuine LR from a main dealer - but have obviously been sitting in a corner of their parts warehouse for a long time. There wasn't a spec of rust on them , but waxy coating took quite a bit of elbow grease and meths to clean up. Still I'm not complaining, $50 (£20) for a pair of disks from a stealer is a bit of a result.
One of the pistons took quite a bit of persuasion to retract enough to slide the caliper & pads off the old disk (lip around the edge and reason for replacing). Probably means it will need some TLC soon.
