190k here. Just got back from a skiing trip in the alps. 850 miles day one and then 850 miles on day 7. Was I afeard? Nope, gave the old girl a good going over before I left, she doesn't know she's in France after all, and she's reliable generally so...

Amusingly it seemed that every other 2nd brit car was a Disco - although we were by far the oldest, everyone else was in a Disco 3,4, Sport or the new thing that looks like a Ssangyong Rodius.

BTW, I did replace the bags in the summer, but why wouldn't you? SLS is aces!


Nah ACE is ace
 
Nice going!
I think people forget that airbag failures abroad can be a costly repair. They've never let me down on this D2 but have on others... just when I least expected it.
As nice as they are, I'd trade them off for peace of mind any day with regular springs.

Oh and BTW, the ACE was removed on my D2 by the previous owner. I don't know quite why.

Where are the pics?:cool:

Never had steel springs snap then?

So far in life I have replaced more steel springs than rubber springs.

Just take a spare.

I would also go over the car with a fine tooth comb if they are happy to remove systems, what else has been neglected?
 
last year I carried 400kg in the rear of mine and the car was level.

What else can you do that in?

I did stop half way during loading to level the car as it was getting low!

I didn't really stop to take many pics of the car - was too busy skiing!
