The Australian distributor called me Friday and was going back to the factory to discuss with them about batches etc.
He was fine to speak to and wants me to go back to the outlet that sold them to me so they can drive it etc, which I will when next in Canberra.
I don't see this resolving itself anytime soon though as I won't be down there for a week or so.

Has anyone heard if Bilstein has sorted the issues on their shocks?
Atlantic British has them on special ATM

I was speaking to my mechanic about the Bilstiens yesterday, he mentioned they had fitted them to a couple of D3's and they are terrific on trips when the vehicle is loaded up both off road & cruising on highways. The only trouble is they are too firm around town.
He had the front Bilstiens replaced under warranty when they failed.
Just a quick update,
I have fitted a set of OEM strut assemblies to this vehicle in place of the konis and am waiting to hear from the importer about what the problem is. Very happy with their help and professionalism, as the customer bought them originally from a supplier, not from them directly but they seem to be VERY concerned, and will be keeping me in the loop. I will probably be buying my Koni 90 Raids and all other Koni products from them now I reckon after their conduct so far during this complex issue.
The OEM strut units (With airbags already assembled) are unbranded except for 'Made in UK', but are identical to the OE Delphi units in appearance, (also made in UK) and significantly cheaper. They also feel like a new car does, so my assessment is that they ARE from Delphi.

Hi JC, where did you purchase these shocks from and what was the price of them and fitting costs please.Quote:

They are talking about Discovery 2 (Active cornering enhancement).
Dont some RRS also have a version of ACE? The shocks are advertised for them as well.

Yeah,Geedubly,thats well known (ACE SLABs in a D2) ,but why are they mentioning it in relation to a LR3/4? Never heard of it on a RRS , maybe the RR ?? or is it just silly Septics screwing it up ?
Not sure whether it is standard or an option but the RRS has an ACE system fitted to the front suspension (i think).Quote:
