Oh I see. I've only seen blue on Paddocks so assumed they were only one colour. Although it's irrelevant to the intended use I can't say I'm keen on blue anyway. Will have a look at their main site.

I've fitted orange poly bushes to my first Discovery and my last 110, and have a set in the garage to fit to my current 110 when the weather gets warmer. I've had excellent results from Floflex on both vehicles, never tried any other make though, got them here http://www.paddockspares.com/off-road/susp...-kits.html

Don't worry I wouldn't. ad one single experience with their kit and never ever again. Luckily it was only some light lenses so never actually got near my 90 at all. Sent um' back.   ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

The dampers aren't too hard to change over are they? I'd like to have a go myself and am pretty capable and have a workshop manual. Only thing is I only have the standard LR pillar jack and no axle stands or trolley jack.

I've changed the shocks on my old 130, and I'm basically as mechanically skilled as a small dog. The rear ones are just two bolts, the front ones are a bit more difficult. I did my disco ones with just the bottle jack which was from 1993 and had never been used, and no axle stands. It was probably a bad idea but I was young(er) and (more) reckless
Edit: I had to stick the bottle jack on two haynes manuals because it wasn't tall enough for the job. In retrospect it was the stupidest thing I've ever done but it worked Geoff
