    xyz replacement (OEM) or (LRO)???

    Hi Guys!

    Hi, you will certainly find lots of interesting information on here.

Mine does the same thing from time to time. Cheers!

    Thanks again, yes Norway can be quite strict on some things for sure. Not so sure about the MOT side though as in February this year the Disco went for and passed its test. 150 miles later the main ball joint (steering box to rod) fell off!! Luckily I was just pulling away at the time and...
