Need a bit of help...
My 8 year old pride & joy has had a health check...
Brake Pipes fore & aft..OK these do corrode.....do you have to have the LR ones or can anybody do the Volvo material Ci-Ni-Fer ones that last forever ?the
Some bushes flagged up as deteriorating...do you just do the ones that are cream crackers or do the lot & preempt failure ?...I know more costly but it is a worthwhile thing to do ?....are the LR standard ones the ones to go for ?
Rear Diff......i was old that this is noisy ? (maybe I'm getting or already a it mutton) but is this a regular thing at 85 k....do I swap this HOW MUCH ? or just live with it ?....does not heading a noise mean a huge risk ?
The love affair continues....BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics

IIWY I would get all the bushes done at once, no point in several separate visits requiring the stripdown of same components. Probably cheaper in the long run.
Brake pipes can be repaired by inserting a new section. Lots of threads on the subject on the forum.
If you can't hear it, then IIWY I would leave it until I could hear it!

You may want to consider replacing the control arm instead of individual bushes, the new arm comes with all new bushes and ball joints (on the front), saves on labour charges as swapping the arm is easy enough once the bolts have been cut out.GAP IID Pro Multi Vehicle Defender L316 2007-2015 - Discovery 3 - Discovery 4 - Discovery Sport L550 - Freelander 2 - Range Rover Evoque L538 - Range Rover L322 - Range Rover L405 - Range Rover Sport L320 - Range Rover Sport L494 Electrical Fault Diagnostics
