Nodge.
I've sent off an e mail to Delphi, their site wanted my company name. As a private buyer I put in 'nil'. Are they trade only suppliers? (like Britpart). In which case, can I now expect a call from their local retailers?

If they respond. They will most likely give you the name of a local supplier.

Thanks. Will keep you posted. (Without becoming a bore!).

Just sent off a lengthy e mail for a price for all the bits listed below.
It wasn't easy!
Why don't they just offer a 'purchase' desk?
Anyway, I listed the front top mounts, plastic bushings, dust covers, spring assistors and bump stops as well as the springs and shock absorbers.
I'll keep you informed of the outcome.

Me again.
I've just re-read this post from the start and noticed you said springs as well.
From the 3 people I know and trust who work in the trade, 1 ex land-rover service manager, 1 independent land-rover mechanic, and 1 brother in law ( many various brands)
They all said the supplied springs will probably out last the car, and just replace the shocks with OEM ones.
Having replaced just the shocks on the rear I would agree. But that's just my opinion, it's up to your good self.

I can only say that my disco sags considerably less and I assume that can only be the new springs? Whilst it has gained a little ride height it feels much taller on the road, particularly when carrying passengers etc.

The springs do loose some spring rate over many years. They aren't expensive, so if a complete suspension refresh is being done, it's best to replace them.
