My Discovery went to the local garage to have new brake pads fitted (thanks Bramcote
) - 'cos I couldn't undo the fecking wheel nuts :x (new longer, stronger wheel brace thingy on order from DiffLock :) ).
Anyway, they did a road test and said that it felt a bit "soft" and suggested that the shocks might need replacing soon. No, they're not trying it on as I know the garage owner!
I know that the shrouds on the rear shocks are broken, but other than that I don't know whether they are good or bad - this is the only Discovery I've driven for any amount of time.
So, if I do replace them is there any reason not to go for standard replacements? If not, what are the reasons for putting "uprated" ones on?
Would be a good time to stick on some 1" spacers, as advertised
