    I’ve been saying this for years. I simply can’t understand why people are advised to throw money away on maintaining or repairing ACE, when there is a cheap and very proficient work around. ACE is a very good system, but this or standard ARB’s...

    Final update. After a few weeks of motoring I cannot detect any difference in handling between the original ACE system on my D2 and the now inert roll bars fitted. So job done and highly recommended to other in the same situation.

    Hi, I am suffering the same issue and as you say there seems to be quite a few simple repair kits on EBay, but only this one specifically for DS2s. Based upon replacing both of them it would be $44 about £32 for two small rollers. Ouch! The...

    And almost a year later the passenger front door lock actuator fails, but no problem: with this excellent article the replacement is quite straight forward, if not overly easy. Managed to break the glass on the door mirror this time too :o((

    Yes, if you do a search on Metalastik 13/1899 thats about the only thing that comes up. Whatever a RKC3651 is? It is the same as the part used on my Grinnall, somewhat modified and contains the Metalastik 13/1899 I am seeking. I dont wish to...

    I am in touch with PolyBush, they have a couple of poly jobbers that can be adapted to fit. However I just thought someone might point me to a trader/site that recognises Metalastik 13/1899 and says "Yep, I've a couple in my parts...

    I am afraid this is not a Land Rover item. It is fitted to a torque tube extender mount to the body of a Grinnall TR7V8. The back axle is a Rover SD1 item, but extender mount is smaller than the Rimmers offered item for this vehicle, so it's a...

    I am seeking a replacement Metalastik 13/1899 bush 40mm O/S diameter 10mm inner tube diameter as shown. It's not a Land Rover item as far as I am aware. Any suggestion where I might obtain a replacement based either on the part number or the...

    After two weeks the LR is back on the road, the final bits having arrived this morning. To be honest I was not expecting to have to do this job, even though the ACE light had been illuminating on several occasions over the last year. This was the...
