Ok, I'm going to assess the condition of the ACE pipework before I make a decision on whether I keep or get rid of ACE. I like the idea of ACE a lot and it would be a shame to get rid of it. Thanks to everyone who's contributed to my dilemma and after researching the parts needed, I can get the...

Cheers !! I'll give it a look :-)

Are there any links to the work involved in converting to the ARB set up ?

What about valley gasket ??

Wow thanks for that :-) do you mean replace the ace with anti roll bar setup ?

Yeah - its funny I took a freelander there last year and they quoted almost £1k for some work - when I worked it out, I could get all the parts of eBay for around £300 - the only reason I've gone back is because they know their stuff and wouldn't miss anything out, there is method to my madness lol

Near thetford mate :-/

50 an hour I think, well the inspection cost 50 plus vat and took around an hour :-/

Yeah I've got rave so will take a look at that :-) forgot to mention my disco is a V8 and I'm only 5ft 6" so will need a ladder to get on the engine bay lol ! And no 1600 doesn't include tyres and radiator lol

Well I'm handy if push comes to shove with a spanner, so will take the advice of the tool kit to top up my existing tools and give it a bash - can anyone confirm how technical the ace job is though, it will help me sleep tonight - lol

What about the ace damper ? Looks scary lol

Thats what I thought ?? I'd day the disco is way above average condition and would be a shame to scrap :-(

Hi all in relation to my earlier thread of "ace issues" the disco went in for an overall health check, the following was noted : 1. Oil leak from rocker cover gaskets 2. Coolant leak from throttle body Housing - albeit this is wery old staining ? 3. plenum foam split ?? 4. Viscous hub...

Will do :D

I've been quoted £280 to repair and paint it, so might be the better option.

Thanks for the info - sounds like to much like hard work now !! lol:D

Agreed, but i've got it booked in at overland on Friday for a once over :cool:

That's good news, there's more face lift versions than there is pre face lift on the market ! Does it need any modification to fit ? Thanks for your help :D

I was wandering if whether a facelift front bumper will fit my 02 plate pre facelift disco ? Any thoughts ??

Well, i've checked the fluid and that's ok, so guessing it will be the accelerometers :-/
