Bloody land rovers!!

In all honesty Nige, I used to size the springs into pairs, either NS or OS, didn't matter what you mixed as long as the NS wasn't longer than the OS, or you got a list to stb'd (UK rhd!) with the driver in it. My own 110 has TDi progressive's on the front, both OS if I remember rightly, but the longer of the two went on the drivers side. Sits at std unladen ride-height, 110 has a V8 and a winch (big heavy old Ramsey 8000 jobbie) and weighs 2.5 tons last time it was weighed! (Motorsport Recovery gear!) Rears are 110 (non self-levelled, again 2 OS springs) and 130 HCPU inner helper springs, stn wagon anti-roll bar with 130 shocks all round and 31-10.5x15 tyres. It corners!! Badger.

well apart from as I was

bust spring it would!) I

hundred lines!!

CVan you let me have the numbers off the boxes, and the paint codes from the springs - all that stuff was sent direct from our supplier so I need the right info before going in with guns balzing.......

hehehe - it's no big sweat matey, but both front springs had yellow paint on them. No numbers I'mafraid as all boxes are in the bin!

It has made a massive difference to ride quality & handling. All 4 dampers were absolutley fecked & a broken spring! It's like driving a car now, not the General Belgrano!!

How much is it fr the nearside rear upper damper mounting & new bolts??

'"Say hello to my little friend"

hehehe - just had a look through another box for something else & there is a nice new steering damper, sat looking all forlorn! They must have sent me 3 front dampers by mistake! They packed the steering damper in a box with different types of stuff in it!

No matter, it would cost more to post it back than it's worth, also thetre is no box!!

Are they in a Blue and Yellow box? Only ask as I got a pair of rear dampers for the Rangie, fitted one... the other turned out to be what is either a front damper or steering damper. Got mine from Landranger on that occasion. Still sat here.

Its too late to pop in the garage now or I'd take a look at the make. May confirm a supplier fau pa.

The bolts holding it usually come free with no probelms - it might be an idea just try crack them to check before buying mew.

'ere, just thought. steering problems on my 109 (lack of wheel turning to one side) proved to be a too-short steering damper. is it possible that it had the wrong one, off something else, or is that a known issue with 109s?

Yep, must employ feckwitts.
