The snap ring that disappeared from ours hasn't been found despite 3 subsequent oil changes over 5 or 6 years. Still feels & sounds OK - lol

Wow ! Just seen some of the crazy prices for new ones - over£150 each ! Maybe you need to consider good second hand. I often use Paul McGill at "Discovery 2 Parts" on Facebook or via the www.d2bc.co.uk forum. He has lots of very good condition stock & always dispatches well packed. The...

They're also handed which is a pain. This is what they look like and the part no. of one side...

Rear only. The OP wants front

That's not a D2, it's D1 / RR / Defender D2 front has the brake pipe bkt and more importantly has the shaped recess for the spring offset coil end. DLS in Wirksworth used to have them and Island4x4

There's also quite a few in the Accessory catalogue http://www.discovery2.co.uk/downloads/discovery2_acc.pdf Although there were additional variants introduced at the same time as the Facelift model

I replaced our rear half with a 1400mm section bought via DLS. I think the section cost me approx £700 a couple of years ago. Write up here on the D2BoysClub forum http://www.thed2boysclub.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=55231

D2s had the cdl internals until at least March 2001 vehicle build date. The sticker means nothing. I've seen all combinations of sticker & cdl on later D2s and there's minimal correlation - lol. Land Rover would fit whatever they had in the stores.

Lemforder were OE - but even they have different manufacturing plants. Hopefully all making the same quality to the same specifications I noticed the last pair I bought had an Eastern Bloc country name on the box, unlike other Lemforder joints and bushes I've bought over the years.

I'm sure I've had 15mm, 16mm & 17mm nuts on different ARB links over the years. Some of the threaded studs have had internal hex drive, others 2 flats & yet others with full hex. There's definitely no "standard" - lol

At least you didn't buy a Navarra - their chassis problems make Land Rover chassis rust issues look brilliant - lol

Have you got excessive crankcase pressure in the cam cover? That would probably push oil into the loom. I've only changed the loom twice in more than 10 years of ownership - the 1st time 10 years ago due to oil in the red plug (no misfire). The 2nd time recently as preventative maintenance as I...

Contact 1 or more of the D2 breakers around.

The vacuum value is definitely very low - either because the pump is no good or because of leaks. In an earlier post someone said the vacuum should be between 15~20 in Hg. Actually, for a diesel engine or any engine with a separate vacuum pump, the value should be quite a lot higher - typically...

I'm still running the 2001 D2 TD5 manual I bought s/h 10 years ago at 155,000 miles. It's now got 203,000 miles & is still going strong. For the first 6 years it was my daily driver to get to & from work. But now only gets used for driving to & competing in off-road events. It's only broken down...

Yes, that's the potentially offending Railko bush. At it's worst it breaks up & you get jammed in odd gears. Mine chose Reverse - lol.

I'd imagine with that offset change you're going to get fouling of the tyre on the top inner edge of the wheelarch while flexing. I run narrower tyres than you (235/85 Special Tracks) on standard modulars at the front and a 2inch lift & they currently touch the top edge occasionally, dependant...

57mm

Not many!

They're a 92mm change versus standard wheels. Whichever direction they move or turn, that looks like a major job to cut away enough to prevent tyre contact.
