    Disco 94 V8 Suspension lift. First project

    ummm. bushes are debaitable. chances are if you disco isn't knocking and banging bushes are probably ok but out of preferance id change them. espeacialy as youl have it all apart to do the lift. munsters right id be checking steering box etc rather than hoping a new damper will fix it.

    iv just had a long walk

    i never have but iv only done about 4000 miles init. the main thing is that you all seem to think its fuel which is good. as opposed to electrical, which is bad. (can't change a battery without a fire extinguisher about!!)
