    Disco 1 Front radius arms - how much play is acceptable? Pulsing motion to braking.

    Well I think it's clear that i'll need to sort the radius arm bushes - i'll get my local LR specialist to do that for me. Hopefully that also cures the braking pulsing - That may by the radius arm bush flexing side to side as it picks up and swaps the force of the braking.

    ... thanks for that. I wasn't proposing a solo mission. Just wondering what routes people would recommend are a bit too savage given the recent weather and flood warnings.
