Hello all,
I've been lurking for a few weeks now but just got around to posting.
I've got a 1996 110 CSW 300Tdi. It's in fair condition and goes fairly well considering it's done over 100k miles and is all original as far as engine goes. But I've decided to spruce it up a bit. I fitted Exmoor / Tracker seats and Wright Off Road Matting System when I bought the car about 6 years ago now and last year I replaced the wheels and tyres (Cooper Discoverer S/T on black modulars) and I've fitted a nice "sporty" stainless exhaust (Tube Engineers Ltd). Now I'm going to fit a Lasalle Trim headlining kit and I'm going to have the whole of the suspension replaced.
I've bought most of what I want for the suspension refurb already and this includes Discover II coil spring isolators RBC100111 to go on the front. For the rear I'd read about Old Man Emu 10mm Trim Packers on expeditionexchange.com and tried to source some in the UK from Devon 4x4 but the product code has turned up a set of poly bushes and the "Coil Spring Packers" they have sent me are BZP steel plates - which will not have the desired effect of isolating the noise and vibration.
Has anyone successfully bought a set of these yellow polyurethane trim packer / isolator rings in the UK - specifically for the rear of a 110 and hence nominally 7 inch diameter (actually about 6.5" OD)? And if so, where from please? I'm not expecting miracles but I'm hoping it will help a bit and as the Disco II isolators will give the front a little lift I'm thinking I'll need something on the back.
Cheers
Neil
