  2. Here is the link to the german version I found by searching the net. http://www.landrover.ee/est/files/manuals/...%20Defender.pdf An English version would be helpful.
  3. Before you fit them read my story. I had a set of scrap iron one on my 110. They did improve the ride. However the 2nd shock absorbers where removed after it was found that the mounts had torn the chassis spring retainers almost completely off on the left hand side - 2 inches of spring mount not torn - and on the right hand 3 1/2 inches not torn. This being caused by the rocking motion that the double shock mounts caused. I found this out when 6 km's down a 4x4 track in the Fish River Canyon in Nambia when invetigating a clocking noise from the front. After as many cable ties as possible to try and secure the spring to what was left of the spring mount then had a 90km drive to get to a mechanic to weld them up. Speaking to a mechanic, we found looking at our vehicle in Swaakopmound, he stated that this is what had happened to all the kits he had fitted and that is why they are not used in Nambia. This was confirmed on our return from our trip by reading a story about a couple traveling across africa in one of the Land Rover mags who recounted the same thing. I am not sure if it is that the mounts are not designed for carry large loads on 110's?
