cheers all, were there any changes the the frount axle around 92-93 does anyone know? as i need most parts need replacing. just want to make sure i get the right parts

Thanks for all the responses guys, its all much appreciated, taking all the information into account I’ve decided to make my own kunnifer pipes, I just don’t want to risk it especially as doing some long drives into Europe and beyond soon and I will save about £50 – £60 off pre made ones (I’ll just rope at mate in to help undo the seized nuts and flare the flares!) So my next question what size brake unions and nipples do I need to order, and are they the ones with a shoulder or without a shoulder. Makes sense to check first as apposed to ripping it apart then catching the bus to the parts store! Cheers all Matt B

hi all i vin query that has poped up whalst ordering stuff.... my discovery was origionally purchased from landrover on the 17/09/1992 by someone who has sufficient funds to do that kind of thing first service was also in 26/10/1992 @871 miles so probly not just delayed delivery. but the vin is salljgbf7ka0***** which is 1993? and there are some differances between 1992 and 1993 discos i think. how has this happend (flux capacitor improperly adjusted?) and what should i do about ordering parts any input greatly apprechiated matt B

i don't know, technically plain copper has a lower burst pressure, and is more affected by work hardening than kunnifer and I would assume that with it been softer it could be more likely to fail around the flares. However I just wanted to get some real world examples before I go and fit it and end up sitting in a 2 tonne lump of rust heading towards the back of a bus with no stoppers!

Hi all I'm a reasonably new “landroverist”, but I 've been into 4x4s and off-roading for a while now with my grand cherokee my off road baby However todays question is more about my 200tdi disco, all the brake pipes are looking a bit rough so I'm gona replace the whole lot, I've done this before on my Jeep when I re-plumbed it to do away with the pesky ABS, as I'm sure everyone's aware bending cutting and flaring pipes is a monster PITA, and I never want to do it again! On rimmer bros I found a complete set of ready made pipes (so no flaring measuring or cutting or finding correct connections) but its made of copper, ive always been under the impression this can be bad sue to work hardening, and have thus used kunnifer pipes what are other peoples experiences of copper, have you had any issues or used one of these kits etc. any advice much appreciated. cheers matt barker
