If you have pre-facelift ones they are the same as on Disco 1, the lights I mean.
Again. don't know about Facelift, but both D1 and early D2 are height adjustable, just not self-levelling. Wouldn't want anything self-levelling as yet more sh!t to go wrong! Even the height-adjustables need "exercising" from time to time to stop them seizing up!
Rusty springs? How rusty? Must be bloody far gone to be a fail I'd a thort!
Again year of model and other details might help with which springs. 5 seater may be different to 7 seater, Sprung different to air etc.
You could just ring them, I have used these peeps in the past and they have been OK

All are advisories
Just noticed my car details are missing from bottom
2003 model facelift, and looks like £650 a pair for lights.

Those lights are sh!t expensive which is why so many get nicked!
If they are advisories, what do they advise is wrong with the lights? Rusty reflectors?
I'd be tempted to stick a pair of prefacelift or D1 ones in if you can, as a temporary measure while you fix or source some decent facelift ones.
But I've a norrible feeling the D1 ones might not go exactly in the same holes wivout a bit of bodging.
Mind you, plenty of people do Facelift their prefacelifts in just this way.
Must be a fred on this somewhere.

Advisories
And they were VERY busy
One has been damaged inside since I have had it, sort of internally jammed intocorrect location

You done well then, I've had a car fail as the bulb wasn't quite mounted properly in its socket, he could have realigned it, but he knew I'd fix it quite easily despite having to half-dismantle the nearside under bonnet area. Bloody modern cars.
Rusty reflectors used to be a favourite, but headlights were cheaper then, and more plentiful in scrappies!
