OOH.........cost of parts , yes a little pricey for the TD5 as with all new Landrover products ! I have replaced 1 wheel brg cost me £172.00 but I am in the trade , as pointed out , the air suspension is fine off road ,or you could convert back to coils, I chose my motor purposely with no Air suspension and no Ace , if youre serious about a TD5 do the same ,all the goodies are becoming available now , Bumpers bash plates ect . My does get well used offroad and it performs aswell as 200 and 300 s , The hill decent and traction control are added cheaty buttons but are nice when the need to use them occurs ,Youre only here once GO FOR IT>>

 :D  I just press the button on the dash...you can also buy air spring spacers :wink:
I've just 'converted' our TD5 to an 'off roader'. Heavy duty RRC springs have gone on the front, along with a Bearmach winch bumper and winch, BFG muds and tree sliders. Snorkel and more protection on the way. :)

thermidorthelobster:
The air suspension is pretty problem free.

You can lift them by recalibrating the sensors, putting spacers in the springs as well, or putting spacers in the springs AND sensors.  It's a very easy job.

Discoparts sell all the bits you need.  There's not much point in changing from air to coils as the air works well on the Disco.

Landyrover:
Having had a 300Tdi 90 CSW for some years, followed by a brief interlude with a Jeep Cherokee, I bought a Disco TD5 a few months back and have off roaded it a number of times now. It's totally unmodified at the moment (apart from Mud Club stickers and CB radio :) ) and on road tires. However, it ain't been stuck yet - I've been very impressed by its off road ability in standard form, the traction control is very effective and the rear end on mine, with air suspension, can lift a couple of inches at the push of a button.

As for costs, in the time I have had it its been serviced, needed a recon sterring box and now the starter motor needs fixing....

But I am very happy with it and am saving up for lift, rock sliders, etc.

Cheers,

Nick
