Xmas came early today! Loads of bits of zinc to file away but really pleased with results had it done at Southeast Galv. Was worth all the pain:)

Nice one, I got the wrong shocks too but that's my own fault for not checking:-) But got some puma seats for the deal of the century just have to work out how to fix them in! Does the Newbury spares day have new stuff or just used?

I was thinking the whole lot dunno about getting the harder types back in like the panhard as I believe you need a press. Rimmerbros has a genuine set for 360£ or a aftermarket rubber set for 50£!

I am changing my suspension, Shocks Springs etc. Should I change my bushes as well? I don't know if or when they would have been changed before IF so what type, poly or rubber ? I am having genuine defender shocks and springs. I do not have a press! Thanks

Yep I got genuine LandRover kit (shocks and springs) today at LRO, no deals on the turrets etc, cheaper to get it off internet. SP 4x4 were actually charging more on 1 item I was looking at, than what it was listed on the web site inc VAT!

I feel for you guys camping there today boy did it rain!

Found this table of spring lengths and it matches up with my length and colours so standard springs and shocks for me. NRC9446 D90, Disco HD Front drivers side 15.19 175 7.75 http://www.red90.ca/rovers/springinfo.html

Did you get early access to the bargains today?

I found some green paint on the remains of the coating which I believe is what the original standard springs have? I believe they have green and blue paint on the driver side, there is not much coating left on these, but there was some green. Hopefully I can pick up a suspension kit at the LRO...

Yer 50 quid and rain is making me think just go for the day. Coming down in bucket loads as I write this:-)

I removed the turret on the driver side and jacked it up until the spring was loose. It is around 38-39cm long, I phoned a shop and asked how long a standard spring is but they told me to measure from center of wheel to wheel arch. I don't have any wheel arches on, I would have thought the...

Thanks for info I think I need to get out a spring and measure it!

I have a Defender 90 V8 I found more info if I type Delphi V45205623 I get loads of results. I get a all sorts of compatible oem parts numbers. appears to be standard height shock need to have a look at the springs and measure. Would some kind soul mind measuring the ground clearance to the...

I just removed all the wax oil from my defender 90 and find some orange original de carbon V45 2056 23 shock abs. Did a google search and see they may be from a discovery. Does anyone know the height difference from a standard defender shock with these or how long these guys are? I need to...

Hi I just removed all wax oil from my shock and find orange original de carbon V45 2056 23 shock. Google doesn't come up with much other than Discovery shock. I need new shocks but want to keep it same height, anyone know height difference between defender and discovery shocks? Thanks

I just removed all the wax oil from my defender 90 and find some orange original de carbon V45 2056 23 shock absorbers. Did a google search and see they may be from a discovery. Does anyone know the height difference from a standard defender shock with these or how long these guys are? I need...

Have got the wife's car for the weekend, what do you think the ground will be like for a tent. Looks like its going to be raining hard tonight. Early access on Friday if you are camping, are the bargains first come first served or run through the weekend?

Yes please!

OK thanks will wait and see what the weather does:)

I have never been to one of these shows, is there really bargains to be had ? I need a load of bits but don't have much time to go unless its going to be worth it.
