Once again, many thanks for the info. I think you're right on the potential issues of only doing the shock and not the airbag. I'll see if I can negotiate with the dealer to get the lot done.

Morning Guys, So back from holiday and the dealer I bought the car from has now used his garage to diagnose that there is nothing wrong with the shocks themselves. He also balked at the cost of the air struts even though the diagnosis only required the changing of the shock absorbers. The car...

Thanks Lynell, I fear you're right on the pattern parts. When you say they won't last what sort of mileage would you expect from new pattern lower arms from someone like Britpart?

For info on an earlier question the pricing for each part by the indie is: Front Shocks are £161.86 each + vat Rear Shocks are £157.13 each + vat O/S Front Lower Arm is £192.68 + vat N/S Front Lower Arm is £200.35 + vat Rear Brake Calipers are £145.57 each + Vat Not sure how those prices stack...

Hi, the independent inspection from Millennium was free of charge. I have also used them in the past, put work their way through friends and will use them again for this vehicle so no real loss for them. The dealer I bought it from is, unfortunately, a typical used car dealer. I'm pretty...

Hi guys, Right the dealer I purchased the car from - https://www.le-autos.co.uk/ - is going to put everything right he says, but at a garage of his choice. The indie was quoting for both rear calipers as they said you shouldn't replace one without the other. I'll get a breakdown on the...

Morning, Firstly many thanks for all your help and support so far, it's been hugely beneficial to me. I've now had the vehicle inspected by http://www.millenniumcroydon.co.uk/ and they have advised the following regarding the suspension:- Front lower arms very worn (I saw that the bushes...

Afternoon guys, Okay, I don't think the bushes are failing. There is no apparent movement when on access mode, so it may be the air strut or shocks as mentioned above. Something else I noticed yesterday is that after I go over a speed bump the car continues to bob up and down three or four...

They are Zeros. The rears are nearly due for replacement (negotiated in the deal) and the fronts have maybe 3mm tread.

Hi, many thanks for the replies. For info, I've had Range Rovers in the past (2005, 2008 and 2016 models) but this is my first Discovery. I must admit our other current cars are a 911 and a GT-R so I do wonder if it's just me being used to things firmly sprung. It seems fine on the motorway...

2014 Disco HSE

Hi all, I becoming convinced that my 2014 Disco HSE has been used as a tow vehicle by its previous owner as the rear of the car just feels a bit soft/wallowy and appears to make the car rock from side to side over some surfaces at low speed. The car has done 70k miles and was supplied with a...

Thanks, I do wonder if it's me as our other cars are a Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R so the Disco is clearly very different to those. It just seems to rock left and right a bit more than I think it should around slow corners or uneven road. My last 4x4 was a 2016 Range Rover 4.4SDV8 but wonder if...

Many thanks. Does you Disco rock from side to side a bit?

Hi all, Well after a three RR in the past I'm back to the LR fold with a 2014 Discovery HSE which looks great in Firenze Red. It has a full LR history and has just crossed 69,000 miles. Anyway I have a few quick question if that's okay? 1. The car does seem to rock side to side a bit a times...
