HI MATE we run terrafirma springs and shock they take the weight very well thanks jon

 

Hi Jon, I got the heavy weight ones. Standard ones on mine are just to soft. Glad I got a good make.

Track rod got hit by a stump the other day and put a helluva bend in it, tracking was out somewhat!

 

Just put on a sumobar from Gwyn Lewis. Same price as an original, about £90.

 

Could have bought one from Britpart for £16:what: but wanted something a bit stronger than spaghetti holding my wheels together.

 

Are Britpart parts any good?

Are Britpart parts any good?

 

In my experience I've found they are not.

The quality is decidedly lacking in a lot of their stuff. When it comes to safety critical parts I like to buy genuine or oem where I can.

Here's mine , had this one now for 7 years and still earning its keep, wouldn't be without it !

Are Britpart parts any good?

 

Sorry to jump in here

Britpart parts are in the main rubbish, we refuse to fit anything from britpart, for pattern we use either bearmach or allmakes but try to use genuine or oem where possible.

They are nicknamed s#itpart for good reason

Thanks Jon, fitting heavy weight ones at front as well due to the winch and bumper. Thanks for the heads up on the Britparts as well lads:thumbup:

 

Nice landy by the way Gup!

Got Terra Firma Big Bore shocks and springs (blue ones, can't remember what they are) on my 90. Very good, if a little firm.

Question.

 

My parking brake light is flickering now and again. 200tdi 1990 disco.

 

Is this a dodgy wire or sensor? Am I right in saying there is no sensors on the disc brakes only the handbrake?

 

It is just flickering on then goes off. Not staying on.

 

The handbrake is working fine. No issues there.

[Gups 1828]

My defenders handbrake light will do this if the hand brake isn't pushed fully down, could be worth checking the ratchet for any obstruction stopping it from seating properly, ???
