The new gasket was folded in the packet so would not lie straight which also did not help. Ah well he did a good job. No leaks. :-) Just the squeaky rear calipers pins and mounts to do now and my missing rear mud guard then hopefully she'll be trouble free for a while. (I had to replace the...

My bro did it for me and like you it was a pain getting the gasket on! Mine was tight but no thread lock. I have also re connected the wires for the oil light now. :-)

Replace and forget about it. It's your second car. The ACE system will always be something waiting to go wrong. Good old Anti Roll bars will be less stressful. I heard main dealers used to remove them as it was acknowledged as a over complicated system. Not sure how true this was.

I'll have a nosy. Thanks.

Hi Folks. Had the bolt replaced today. It was not loose but did not have thread lock on it. Now has the thread locked version on. Which then led to another issue to fix. There has never been a oil light on my dash! Just never noticed. Seems to be another common issue where the White wire gets...

Thanks Sierraferry. I think you have convinced me to stay with 255/65 r16. Much appreciated. :-)

Foul the radius arms? That does not sound fun? How would they do that? The current ones don't as far as I can tell and the extra height does not add extra width...or does it?

So I'm not alone! Mine has a fair few. Did not know they were common place. I smeared a little sealant on them to try and stop the spots spreading. :-)

Hi folks. I managed to get a set of rims with 255/65 r16 tires. Wider than my 235/70 r16 tires and rims and I like the better handling the wider tire seems to offer. I also like the added ride height. The tires are half worn and it still feels taller with these on! Now I have read that a...

I was always told they only need to be done when they become noisy. But that is very high mileage compared to most so i'm not sure.

I know. After this am not Googling Disco 2 ever again. Other than the water pump failing and popping the heater matrix (even then I still got home) she has not let me down yet. I don't mind spending a little on her third birthday with me to ensure smooth running.

Lol...I'll just get it done. Then I can forget about it and concentrate on some other minors issues.

I'll be having it done Wednesday when I'm off. Hope she holds out till then! I really want it to hit 20years and 200k miles. :-)

OK. You had me with that info. I'll try and get it checked this week when am off. :-)

I'd love to be more hands on but as it's my only vehicle I'm hesitant to mess it up!
