    Ever heard of Peter Brock and his little black box ?, obviously LR deemed it worthwhile but after 14+ years on a D1 you are likely to have other vibration issues not designed to be overcome by the damper.

    You mean the infamous polarizer that he fitted to the VL directors that ended his long running relationship with GM HOLDEN ummm yeah. True though most manufacturers fit stupid things that are supposed to do something they dont and remove them from the next model never to be seen again

    ITs really a vibration dampner, on some vehicles it Really works, on others they fall off and you dont even notice. Lots of things come into effect for it to work or not. Its a damn good place for leadfoot drivers to carry a spare gearbox or v8 engine mount.
