    Vehicle is booked into Justin Cooper for Monday next week for fitment - although I keep thinking I wouldn't mind having a go fitting them myself...
    Hi Scott, IF you want to save yourself a fair bit of $$$ as time is money etc after all, you can remove the centres and drop them off, we can have them done for you to collect later in the day?

    Hell yeah, I love getting my hands dirty on the truck (when I don't have an excuse to play with my own, Chris brings his around...)!

    I was going to call and ask, but I just realised how late it is, so I'll hassle you tomorrow during work time instead, but incase you are still online:

    So how does that work, I pull the centres out, take the old ones down to you with the new gear and then, you set the new ones up and shim them all etc. so that when I collect them I just fit them and put it all back together?

    It's getting them set right (shimmed) which is the bit that I am unsure about in regards to the installation.

    Yup, no worries, just pull them out, bring them down and we'll set them up, give them back and you reverse the procedure.

    Chris is dropping his off Monday, you can throw them on his front passenger seat and he can bring them down for you...

    So even though you might expect an unbiased review it certainly didn't read that way.....Very critical of the cooling system, massive issues with injectors over-fuelling, weak axles and diffs (though interestingly they missed the 3 amigos, plastic head dowels, leaking FPR.....)

    Though to be fair they have had a few more Land Rover sympathetic articles recently.

    Best

    The D2a is back up and running.

    The 4.12 ratio is spot on for the tyres.

    The difference in acceleration is not noticeable (but then I have been driving a Ford Pursuit ute with a 5.6L V8 for the last month), however, when driving up hills at speeds of 100 to 110km/h, definitely notice the better gearing! Should make a difference when towing!

    Had a brief play around a local construction site. TC was coming on a lot still - but I didn't have the centre diff locked, and my tyres are almost on the wear indicator (BF Goodrich AT), so they're almost highway terrain pattern!

    Driving on the road the steering feels heavier (once again bearing in mind I haven't driven a Disco for a month), but no other noticeable negative effects in normal driving.

    The Ashcroft front CV's are massive and the boots have to be assembled once the shafts and joint have been pushed through the steering uprights.
