Usual top service from DM today.
Changed my front brake pads today (not in great condition)......car felt very sprightly on the way home,even the Lie-O-meter was happy,indicating a much better mpg......they appear to have been binding slightly.....seems to have cured the rumble from the front end too.... 8)
Discs did not need changed so happy with that too.
Thanks also to Disco3newbie for the bacon rolls,and allowing me to piggy-back on the job Mike was doing for you  "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Thanks to Disco_Mikey for coming down and fitting a new set of height sensors and recalibrating the suspension - sure he thought I was mad when I got the builders level out!!. Also good to meet Euan over a bacon sarnie ( not sure how he managed to arrive just as I was burning the bacon!!)
I finished the job today by fitting new plug wiring kit to front near side and cleaning all the brakes - all seems good so fingers crossed. If not I hope Euan has the bacon in. Club RLD spare wheel protection
Club RLD skid plate
Club its all black
Club D3 - it's gone
Club D4 - just arrived and still all black

When it comes to bacon cooking,a bloodhound is an amateur compared to me,let alone the directionally challenged LR sat-nav "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...
