Well look what turned up 5 business days from order from LRDirect.. would have been here Monday but I guess Santa got in the way .... one box ordered a day later to split order but I guess now the work begins...

Which set did you order? OEM, Original Equipment, Land Rover?
I just did mine, including a Hitachi compressor rebuild. Enjoy the front struts and getting to the rearward too bolt! It’s joy.

Hi DiscoJeffster - I ordered a mix of parts but the arms are OEM - all parts LRD Workshop approved 2 Year warranty (my thought process was it must be a good part) also some LR parts where the price wasn't too far away! everything looks great from initial inspection and the last of the boxes rocked up.. so I have everything now. I did the compressor last year and it has been going strong, doing the valve blocks this round. actually the only parts I haven't done yet are the airbags..

Ah sorry. I couldn’t see the photo originally and just assumed it was struts you’d ordered. You look to have your work cut out for you with that lot!

All arrived 5 BU days from ordering! It’s a pile of parts now.. also in the mix - new rear tailgate locks, fuel door lock, bonnet / rear door struts and rear mud flaps.. Christmas present to the disco for all her hard work!



Pretty excited if you can’t tell. Hahaha.

I changed my rear door actuator this week given their propensity to fail, as I did with the alternator and brake light switch. I prefer to avoid issues and replace early rather than get caught out, as it seems you do too!

that will wear off.

Heads up, just in case you werent aware, you will have to crack into the rear brake lines to replace the control arms.
Have some brake fluid handy.

Cheers thanks I read that last night. Might slip the calliper off or do that.

Finally got a day to finish it all off! All up two and a bit days with a heap of other minor repairs to locks and worn parts. Off to a 4 wheel and steering alignment tomorrow - cant wait to feel the ride.

So was that every arm and bolt replaced, plus ????
Massive amount of work there.
