Hi,
the recent highly discussed recall regarding all Discos and Def. my99 onwards is about to be actioned by PAG/ Landrover Australia.
I'm booked in for next week and I'm told that most owners will be contacted over the next month or so... :)
It's good to see that it is finally going to happen even though the campain has been public knowledge now since March 22 :roll:
George ;)

I had these done last week.

the ACE is checking and tightening a clam bolt or something.

The ABS is the changing of some plate in the system to a thicker one. With this I did notice a harder pedal and less spongyness

In typical Landrover fashion you will probably come out with more probs than they fix !!!
