Hi

Do hope u get on ok and indeed a right pain when u expect something to work correctly

I fitted complete front struts from Dunlop on my D3 , was like night and day

They didn’t come with any new nuts and bolts , so bought all new ones

Really pleased with them, don’t creak earthier like some struts can

Fingers crossed u get the refund and no hassle
 
yes thanks for reply thought i had found dunlops for £440 but now being told £560 for my l322 just gets better and better anyone know of best priced supplier ??
 
thanks for reply thought i would ask after experience with Aerosus buying dunlop air suspension struts so hopefully be ok
 
There are makes to avoid, like Britpart fuel pumps for the 38'..
Britpart air suspension parts..
Dunlop's part hmmm.. Good choice. It's a case of homework and doing what you are doing and asking fellow and female owners for their best info.:cool:
Sometimes we all make mistakes... ;)
 
looking at jgs 4x4 anyone have any thoughts seems to be best price ??

That’s where I bought my Dunlop’s from , no probs and very happy with them

Check to see if new nuts come with them

Hope that helps and tell him u belong to Land Rover forums
 
Thank you very much.
I did some work on an L322 for a client, he wanted to replace both front shock assemblies as one of the bags had been changed and the other had a slice through it. He bought a pair from e ay.... I warned him about the quality of said units but he wasn't concerned. It was stated in the box on the info sheet that they were actually using continental air socks.. debatable but it's been three months so far but not a recommendation...
I bought the Brit part air bags for my 38' after I had just bought it and before I knew the great world of landyzone... They lasted 2yrs before crazing up on the finish.. they were already 6yrs old off the shelf... Now.....it's all four on Dunlop's. Massive difference in quality.:cool:

I've used jgs4x4 before.
For my brake sphere and my shocks.... Never ending story with the shocks as they replaced them under warranty twice so far. I'd recommend them. Not affilia-flip-flop-ted....
