Just fitted Bilstein B6 yellow shocks to the front of my '03 TD5 to match the pair I just fitted on the back. I'm really pleased with the ride quality, the lack of rebound over speed bumps is particularly noticable.
I have to say it was an easy job, but getting the turrets out on either side was a nightmare. On the nearside you nearly brake the ABS pipes and on the offside you nearly break the ACE pipes or the SLS cabling. Both sides need booting and grunting to get them through the wing. And of course if you tighten down the turret screws first the you can't get the topmount bolt in, which has limited room for a spanner.
I gotta say, the Disco-2 is not the nicest car to work on. Compare to the P38 and two classics I've had, there's less space, more crap, and it just seems to be more poorly thought out from a construction point of view.
