Sworn at it and beaten it with a stick. Then thought How lucky I was:
top hose dumped coolant all over the drive (and engine bay) Just as I pulled up after the school run.....
 
another 400 miles today last time though. stil got scrap runs to do tomorrow then hopefully get her cleared out and organised again along with a jet wash under and general clean this weekend. really need to get all that road salt off asap
 
Tomorrow going to swap my new Terrafirma springs round that i fitted whilst fitting the kit last weekend but didn't know the springs was handed, anyway got to drop son off at work in crewe ( cheshire ) first then drive back home to swap them over :eek:

:scratching_chin: Hmm I didn't know that.. maybe that's why my Disco's got a lean on it..

Yeah i asked around before doing this and i was told they wasn't but after fitting i was told they are but i didnt have my reading specks with me at the time and apparently its stamped on each spring what goes where :(
 
Bite the bullet and ordered a set of Timken wheel bearings for the front. Decided as the weather has warmed up it's time to sort out this vibration problem which I think is coming from the front. I shall take it to my Landy guy and get him to strip the front axle and change wheel bearings, ball joints and diff oil seal and check to see if he can see any other signs of wear that might be causing this vibration.
 
All sorted now then replaced my power steer belt and took some play out of my steering box, some more pic's of my new suspension after moving the springs around, going trying them out tomorrow at silverdale :D

Gave it a dam good clean with the pressure washer, both inside and out. Got all the mud off from underneath. All ready to take it down to the Landy guy later in the week when all my parts arrive.
 
I also cleaned mine with a pressure washer... Was amazed at the amount of mud that came off the underside considering where I've been in it :eek:

Then had a steering guard fitted :)
