Dave,

Thanks for the prices and info. It's booked in tomorrow at the local dealer at 0800hrs, so I should have an idea shortly after that.

I will post my findings as some one may find it use full!

Any ideas on good running boards/side steps to fit?

Thanks again.

Marty

If you're going off road forget about fitting steps. I like my SS tubes but they're quick to remove for offroading!

Oh Phil, behave yourself! Thumbs Up Mr. Green

Steps are fine for Off Roading, I run them and so does Spotter. For extreme / event stuff they come off, but general green laning / light off road events they are fine Thumbs Up

How does the coiler fair then to the air, obviously less cost when broken.

Is there a larger preference for the coil or the air? I suppose you can do more with air but the cost and problems may out do it.

There seems to be sooo many problems in the past with air!

Can't wait for the bill. Big Cry

A lot boils down to personal choice, if you fit AT2's and remove things like side tubes you can navigate the same type of terrain with careful planning as an air suspension Disco. All the Disco 4 range now only fit air suspension. Thumbs Up

Steve,

Thanks, I see there are a number of differant types of S/S. I won't be doing any major off road so I want some for effect. I prefer the flatter type, not tube. Good site for purchase?? Confused

I did notice a few people complaining about bad fitting so I would rather pay a little extra to get the correct ones.

Cheers

I also heard a bang yesterday and got a suspension fault light.. took it to a LR specialist in Sydney today, they tell me the dryer unit exploded..sounds like the same thing.. about $200 for the part + labour and hopefully nothing else is wrong..
