Im Happy,My 1999 TD5 disco passed its mot yesterday,Mind you every year before taking it to have its test i have the hand brake stripped and new oil seal fitted as the hand brake,Transmission brake what ever..Stops working about 2 months after its been fixed,So this year i said while you fit a new seal can you also fit a seal flange at the same time so we will see how long it will last this time.I also lay underneath the disco about a mile before the mot center and spray a couple of cans of brake/clutch cleaner all round the ace block and power steering pump so there are no traces oil there.

my advise for fitting the track rod ends is to count how many full turns you wind the old ones off (one at a time) then wind the new one one the same number. when you have finished get your wheel alignment checked cus it WILL be out but shouldn't be much. as fot the drop links use plenty of wd40

For replacing the drop links, you're best off ensuring that when you buy the new ones, they come with new nuts for both ends.
When removing the old ones there is a better than even chance they will be seized. If that is the case just grind off the nuts and the links will fall off.
