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)
