I got a call off a mate of mine who works in a scrap yard. He`d just picked up a v8 disco and wondered if i needed any parts for my disco (300tdi). I said i`d pop round and was shocked to see a mint disco sitting there. half leather seats, boost alloys the works. Even the motor was sweet. The owner had scrapped it because he couldn`t afford to run it any more ... Ruthless. How much for the interior and alloys i ask ? No money he said, Just swap the bits from yours . happy days, so i now have a half leather interior and boost alloys on my disco. Also noted some nice shocks and springs. Will v8 suspension be alright on my 300 tdi guys ???

Diesel D1 front springs are different, they are handed and have a high poundage due to the diesel engine being heavier than the alloy V8.

Yes OK diesel rears are the same as the petrols.

Although there was six change points in the life of the D1, don't ask what, so don't fit a 1992 springs on a 1997 model etc. 1996, 97 and 98 appear to have been the same part number.

You may even still be able to see the colour code on the spring, yours and the donor.
