Looks like old turrets were galv, i had no idea, never looked at them that closely, anyway they coming out and the Gwyn Lewis HD Galvanised ones going in.

Yep, the rears bascially get wet grit blasted as you drive lol
I was chatting to Gwyn, and he asked if i had seen it on his site when i was putting the order together, he pointed me to his you tube vid, made sense so i bought for the rears, so got it again for the fronts, its VERY thick stuff. very happy.

3 hrs, done and done. Spring plates and turrets in amazing condition, galvanised really impressed, I do remember fitting them, was 2012 so they have done very well, just did not think i bought galv. I put terrafookwits bagosheit shocks on 2 years ago, they loook like a fiat that was parked by the seaside, aka rusted to fook.

TD5 FUEL FILLER HOSE & SEAL REPLACEMENT
Old seal was spanked and the hose was cracking.
Easy job actually no huffing and puffing with new pipe was very soft, left in the sun while i cleaned the filler neck thingy.

Discs, Pads, Wheels Bearings, Calipers off etc Took me all day cos my back is totally foooked...
Did a quick pressure bleed, will do again in the morning ive had enough for one day.
Syill, its all done and passed the dog inspection, left the tidy up for tomorrow.
Going to parboil myself in the bath, its 2.5m x 1m, costs a fortune to fill but im worth it.
Hopefully the heat will ease my back a bit, we will see if when i get out and sit for 10 mins if i can move again....

Nice work! Looking good!
I had similar issues with my 90 & 110 re brakes. Ended up being a shagged caliper and one time a brand new master just gave a rock solid pedal! Swapped it back no issue.

I should have bought OME all round years ago, ride is spot on what i wanted, firm sure footed but not too harsh perfect, my mate was in it today for hr or so he sais he was suprised felt like a car, compared to the boat it was before, i have around 1km of dirt track to my house with big pot holes, we gassed it along there, managed to get to a speed where it just flew over it, bit like a boat when you get it to plane and have it trimmed right, he was shocked!
same with the Gwyn Lewis stuff drop arm and turrets cheers to @bankz5152 for switching me on to the disco drop arm, so sick of that stupid balljoint etc)
Yeah I had the Gwyn sumo and d1 drop arm. I’m going to follow suit and get the shocks and dampener set for my disco when the times nearer. I had the steering dampener on the defender and it was decent. It’s built properly.
I’ll leave the terrafirma ****e that’s currently on there at the front gate for the scrap man!

Fancy looking discs, do they offer any advantage or just different styling?
EBC pads?
