    Disco 2 Breathers

    From what found axles are easy enough to do but transfer and gearbox are a pain to do unless you remove centre console etc and go from top . I think there 1/4 or 1/8 bsp but cant say for sure

    I'm going to replace the drivers door actuator at some point . Opens all other doors without the key so is fine at moment . I did think to do a transfer box swap is a option . I will have to have a look into the Ashcroft unit . But from what I hear they are still very capable with traction...

    Disco 2 Fuel pressure regulator

    Did not realise you could get parts separate. Looking on various part suppliers and see how many manufacturers make the complete fpr with the housing with hoses I can see alot just replacing the whole unit .
