Hi all, thank for advice received so far, it really helps.

Next job, suspension.

I want to replace the springs and shock absorbers on my 1995 3.9 V8iES and
would appreciate advice on what to fit and where to get it from.

Given my grossly inexperienced status it seems sensible to buy a "kit"
including bushes, nuts and bolts etc.

I am aware of "polybushes" but don't really know what they are.

Confidence and understanding of my Discovery is growing now that my 16 year
old son and I have given the old Disco a better service than it has probably
ever had so while we are still bursting with pride and enthusiasm we want to
tackle the suspension.

One last thing.... I tow a trailer weighing 2 tons a lot of the time so need
uprated suspension at the back.

Thanks

Les

PS. This is the third time I have posted this, the first vanished into
thin air. I see someone has been posting test messages as they too seem to
have a similar problem.

either dump ntl or subscribe to newsgroups using news.individual.net , a
google should find their registration site.

I did both in the wrong order but am much less stressed now.

Your multiple postings are making it 12000 miles across the world where
they're reallu beginning to annoy me. I'd suggest that you stop your
multiple postings otherwise you may find that (at the best) people stop
being helpful, and at the worst they get downright nasty.

You've done this twice now, so it's third time unlucky for you - pull
this stunt again and the fun will really start.

Thanks Paul, another well informed comment, but you are a little ahead of
yourself.
The term '****wit' is a newsgroup term for someone who REPEATEDLY and
CONSISTANTLY proves themselves to be impervious to knowledge, enlightenment
or advice.

I have not been around this newsgroup long enough to qualify.

What about the subject of the post?

Does anyone have an informed comment about suspension that would actually
help me?

We all have to start somewhere.

Les, may I suggest that you get your posting problem sorted out using one of
the alt.test newsgroups, and then come back with your suspension query?
Fresh start and all that.

Your query is a valid one, and you will get a lot of help and interesting
responses from this group. However, repeatedly using a specific newsgroup
as a test-bed for your news program and/or news server won't make you many
friends here.

I think you'll find we interpret the term ****wit quite broadly here :)

Thanks Richard, in my own defence I think I am being hit a bit hard here.
It is NOT me that is posting the test messages, I do, however, sympathise
with the person who is. Of course it is rather out of order to use this
newsgroup as a test bed for a news server or program, looking through recent
posts, even the "test" ones, does not suggest that anyone is. Some posters
are having a problem, however, and it is reasonable to allow them a bit of
leeway so that they might sort it out.

When I post to news groups other than this one, messages appear quickly and
reliably.
I am quite new to this specific newsgroup and I have found that sometimes
posts simply do not appear, at least not visibly to me. If after waiting a
few minutes my post has not appeared, I re-post and hey presto, it works.

Only on one occasion (my post re- Suspension) has a duplicate post appeared
(this one was actually sent three times). This is irritating for all of us.

Fair enough. I wonder if you are being patient enough (take that the right
way). When I started on this ng a while ago, using the BT news server,
posts could take anything up to 6 hours to appear, but they all did
eventually. Now I use news.individual.net and it's instant.

Bloody hell take him out and shoot him!! Err hang on a minute its not his
fault that he chose a crap ISP whos NG posting is causing loads of people
trouble and frustration. I had it for a while with TISCALI (spit spit) but
it's got better. Posts still take up to 1 min to appear. At least they dont
send multiple ones.

He could wait a month they still won't appear for him, It's an Ntl
characteristic and I found only applicable to a very few selected
newsgroups. This being one of them. Other alt.'s are ok so the testing issue
sadly is flawed. Frustrating for all concerned.

When I had the same problems I had to rely on google groups to read my own
posts and replies. Also alot of other non ntl posters posts would be
intermitently missing from the ntl server yet perfectly visible (I later
found) via news.individual.net.

They don't call it Nthell for nothing.

Tiscali is the same, I often find posts missing, a new post will begin with
Re and the first post is usualy there before the answer. I tried
News.individual.net 'till they wanted to charge.
