I bent the **** out of the factory trailing arm mount. Cutting all that off and welding on some proper mounts to the frame with longer arms as well. I'm not going any taller than 3".

It gives more low revs boost under heavy load which means that the Disco 300 TDi responds well when accelerating.
On high way driving it is a pleasure to drive: on 120 kmh (Our speed Limit) it is nice to pass slower traffic by just putting your foot down.
My disco is a 5 speed manual and before this I needed to change to 4th or 3rd.
There is a huge difference in off idle torque.

Got my replacement front drive shaft (thanks CUpgt) but I can't convince myself to put it in when it is -11 degrees out...


** Update** yup, my hydraulic jack doesn't even work too good.

Well something is up with my rear end setup. It's making a horrible whine so I'm going to bite the bullet and take it to a ring and pinion guy

Advance Auto's site says it does not fit the DI but they are wrong. It is an awesome filter. And it fits just fine.


I'm switching to this filter today. Do I need to run more oil? Like 6.5 quarts instead of 6 because of the bigger filter.

Just fill it up like normal until the dipstick shows full.
