So this is definitely shot, but how badly? How risky would driving ~40 miles be? I ordered the new drag link, but they've sent a track rod, and they're about 20 miles away to go and swap it over. I don't seem to get play in the wheels when jacked up and I try and wiggle them; and other than...

It does, and there's no reason I know to say it couldn't be; but I don't know how I would tell/check Well I can feel one end of the drag link jumping/popping a little when steering under load like that, so that clearly needs replacing anyway. Is it good practise to do the track rod at the same...

What would be movement "other than intended"; i.e. what is intended? Wheels on the ground, I can twist the drag link around a bit, but the track rod I can't move at all.

One is brand new (because of a puncture) the other 3 all new about a year ago.

Laufen all terrains, less than 10k miles old, on 16" standard Disco 2 rims. I expect bushes to be good - replaced the full set alongside chassis swap just over a year ago; but thanks for the stuff to check.

Thanks. Yeah, I've got something else sorted; but it doesn't start for another month. A 40% raise, and a company where I'll feel way more valued (so far as I can tell so far) is definitely beneficial :D

Both my front wheels threw weights a few months ago, and then did it again within a week or two of getting them re-balanced. As a result, I'm now not sure if the road feedback I'm feeling is normal like I had before and I'm just being paranoid, or if something else could be wrong. So firstly it...

Got almost all of it done, including replacing and reseating the coolant pipes. Couldn't get the transfer box fill plug out, though (and I'm now feeling sore as a result of my efforts haha), and I skipped the gearbox as well; I'll leave that to the garage sometime. I've no particular reason to...

Continuing with yesterday's list: Replaced the intercooler to inlet manifold pipe with a new silicone one Replaced the wastegate modulator (which had a snapped connector) and the three pipes with silicone (one of which had been completely missing for months already) Replaced the driver's wing...

I find it easier; I can upload in the imgur app straight from my phone, then make the forum post on the PC.

I just stick them on imgur and link to them

In all honestly, I don't really know what to look for. It wasn't sludge, there was a bit of build up on the magnetic plug, but no chunks of anything. I've also no idea how long since it was last changed. I've owned the car 4 years (one of which it was off the road), and I don't off road. This is...

I made a start on a fair list of bits, but a bit late and the first thing I did was tear the wastegate modulator hose nipple off the side of the turbo to intercooler pipe. So all I actually got done was replacing the oil in the front diff.

Brilliant, just what I needed to know! I take it those three are positive pressure lines? Are the pipes on the other side of the engine bay, at least some of which are vac pipes, right?, the same?

Yeah, all I seem to keep finding is coolant system hoses too.

It helps a bit, and with places to look. So thanks; but I was kinda hoping that someone would know the specifics as I'm concerned that I'm going to break some just taking them off to have a look, so want replacement at the ready.

Easy when you know the words to look for, sure. Still no idea what I'm looking for to make sure it's actually suitable.

All of that looks great for intercooler and coolant hoses; but nothing about all of the other little pipes that I was asking about...

I'd like to be rid of all the rubber hoses in the engine bay. Sets for silicone air and coolant ones are easy to come by; but what about all of the other really little ones. Some are air, some vacuum, right? (Which are which?) I presume I can just get a length of something and cut to size as...

That's what I plan to get when it's back in stock
