I would definitely start looking at security!

To be fair, it is sooo much easier to reply to a thread than start one......

You could do a search for D2 suspension and see what older threads have been started. Odds on someone has had the same issues before!

Hi and welcome. If you try and put as much info about your suspension issues on here there is plenty of knowledge that will get back to you, sadly I am not among them!!!

Thank you, its always good to learn by experience but I do prefer it to be someone else's!! :D:D

Thank you, I'm going in and I may be some time!!

I need to replace a few lengths of brake pipe on my Disco 1 and wondered if anyone has used or has any opinions on this that I found on amazon? Would a novice be able to fit it or would tailor made pieces be preferable? Thanks in advance.

Yay, Armed Forces Day where we can celebrate the armed forces whilst they all work! Glad I am a civvi now!!

I saw one in a local village, same situation. Went back a week later and it had gone!

Free or swap in the title? I cant be the only one with a spare wheel that doesnt match the other 4!!! :D

I have seen this idea being bounced around a lot, found this which may give you a heads up on a lot of stuff. Maybe look a few rental periods from 1 hr rates to half day etc. https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/1mimyx/business_idea_diy_auto_garage_basically_let/ Good luck!

Massive no no on the safety stuff with the axle stands

That looks good, thank you both!

I didnt know if the standard bottle jack should be used to lift the whole front end?

Ok, Advice please? I have been searching for a hydraulic trolley jack to lift my D1 onto axle stands, many that I have seen have a max lift to about 430mm, I havn't measured exactly by my front axle is about 400mm off the floor anyway. From a safety point of view, can I put the jack on a block...
