Hi Guys, looking for some opinions I rescently bought a used assembled locking arb 10 spline diff, to put in my 200tdi.

Hi I am mounting an anti roll bar on my disco 1. I have the arb but unfortunately my disco does not have the chassis mounts, so I have fabbed a set to weld on, but am unsure of the exact location. Could anyone please measure the location for me (obviously they are next to the fuel tank behind...

anyone have any comments on weather I should get -1 or -2" shock turrets for my standard length shocks. My only concern is I do not want to be able to fully compress the shock risking damage on the -2" option, advice appreciated thanks Jim

Hi Duker just had a look on paddocks and couldnt see the kit any more? I know mm4x4 also do a kit, will you put both front and back arbs on?

disco 1 200tdi

Forgot I posted this one some well valued opinions here, thanks. I am keen to fit arbs for sure as I use the vehicle for overlanding and carry weight on the roof. Last winter I roled it, and I am a confident driver.....perhaps too confident in that particuler incedent. I love the idea of the...

Hi I am looking for advise on lowered spring turrets. I am running standard length TF shocks, and I do not wish to swap to 2" longer varients due to cost.

Hi Guys I just wonder what your opinions are. I have just changed the radiater on my disco, she runs much cooler so all good. However I notice that allthough the banjo's for the oil cooler are tight they are weeping at the radiater side. Is this normal/common. Should I try and tighten them...
