Same here,when we had the L322 we had a wobbly pull out and stop right in front of us just outside Pt Headland,I braked so hard the dump valves for the front struts activated,if I was in a cruiser or patrol we would have had it. Pat

They don't fit those brakes as a world standard.
Some countries still get 18" wheels in base model D4's.

It is also possible they could have kept the old rotor size and improve the quality of the rotors & callipers, but I guess they went the cheapest option & one that limited tyre sizes which if cynical probably limits warranty claims.

:) fit for purpose for one, clearly not fit for purpose for another.

Delicious homemade pappardelle with garlic pork sausage, home grown basil and grana padano tonight.

Post #700, I see a pattern of 30% exaggeration :D rather than the 25% droll Defender understatement;)

Have to agree Andy, Disco owners are inclined to 30% exaggeration about how good Disco's are, whereas Defender owners are 25% inclined to understate how really bad Defenders are.

Read into that what ever you like.

Didn't some of the V8's have them?

Off topic a bit,did the 3.0l TDV6,520nm, only come with 8 speed box or did the first ones have the 6 speed?

One of my brothers has been looking at them 2nd hand.
