(I could be wrong on the last bit) but I'm pretty sure he spent a fair bit of money sorting it out

I've spoken to LR about accessories in general and they say that if a fault developes that can be attributed to a modification that you have done to the the vehicle then they will not cover said fault. Not rocket sicence really Although it might hurt the hip pocket in the long run I will have the car I want not something off the showroom floor. I guess I just like to have things the way I like, not the way that will make sure the warranty is safe.

I'll fix any problems as they come.

Cheers,

but did you change the props...I believe the new defender does not like to be lifted and needs to have a double cardon joint put in as the angle is too great

No I haven't changed the uni's. I guess I want to see how it goes first. I do have a list of other mods to do to the suspension but we have driven 300km's so far lifted and no issues yet. No off road though.

Cheers,

John - looking at lifting my Puma now as like you I have the gear and she's sagged (after 50thou on the std springs I'm not surprissed).
Since you have had the springs in for a while how is the overall feel and handleing?
Any issues or problems? As mentioned previously others have had issues and then returned the vehicle to STD.
Any feedback would be great, as would an update.

Cheers

Hey Rugrat,

No issues at all, done 15,000km plus on these springs with no drama's. I am currently looking for long throw shocks and front dislocating cones for the next mod

Cheers,

ha ha those accessories are probably worth more than my whole 130 !

Is that a good or bad thing?

Cheers,

I am going to feel like a virtual eunuch the next time I see your car beside mine.
