    Just spent the past 2.5hrs undoing and freeing up one front radius arm bolt, one more to go tomorrow. Seriously thinking about taking up stamp collecting as a hobby instead!

    A disco 2 on air springs won’t wallow like you think. Definitely worth considering unless your mind is set on a disco 3. But then a low spec on coils will also wallow like a disco 2 on coils.

    I have the feeling you want something that doesn't exist, also no one sits at 85mph on the motorway anymore if you want to keep their licence. 200tdi will sit on the motorway at 70mph no problem. Now you don't want diesel as its too slow, you...

    A disco 2 will fit the bill for your requirements. A V8 will easily keep up with traffic on lane 3 on the motorway. So too will a Td5, although I suspect you want speed over economy. They don’t eat brakes or suspension like a disco 3. I’ve had a...
