Rear bumper weights ????

Hi folks, could someone please help me and clarify why my disco 3 has two large cast iron weights underneath, i am sure that if all local scrap boys realise that these are here they will soon vanish, but on the up stroke i suppose that i will only realise that they have been nicked when my MPG shoots up ! (all in good taste)

Welcome Gornalhills

They are Harmonic dampers - they help to iron out small vibrations and aid the smooth ride, if one gets fouled, say by trailer wiring, you will soon be aware what they do.

Thanks for the quick reply, now i know what they are there for. the wiring on the passenger side has rust marks on it where it has been rubbing so spot on answer !
