Hi Guys Well i went for the ARB ones.However ARB supplied the wrong nuts and probably should have supplied longer bolts , which i will source locally.Not tried them in the desert yet.A post on another forum ( In Aus) reckoned they might be a bit weak for jacking , but I think they have potential for reinforcing if that becomes necessary. I have looked at the Discoparts one previously but the only problem is shipping them to the UAE from the UK,this costs more than the sliders them selves!!Same applies to Scorpion. So a no brainer really as the ARB ones are available locally. Sharky if you reading this there is one set left at ARB AD,your welcome to check mine out anytime Regards Shaun Dubai

Hi Sharky, yes ARB in AD,ICON would probably produce something similar but with an ARB sticker on perhaps they stand a better chance of getting registered with the plod. Thanks Disco V8, have you jacked against them ,Hi-lift or air jack? Do they fit without modification? Re mud, we don't get often here, but useful for knocking out sand Cheers Shaun

not at 2 Aus$ per gallon out here Cheers Shaun Dubai UAE

Update- sticking throttle fixed for now,by lubricating inside of throttle housing....not sure how long it'll last though. Cheers Shaun

I've just found out about these side protection bars, has anyone fitted these yet. They are basically steps which are at the same level, not below the plastic trim below the doors(aka LandRover variants),and therefore shouldn't reduce ground clearance like others do.They're are also strong enough to act like rock sliders and wide enough to offer similar protection to nerfbars(this observed from pictures in ARB catalogue) I'm planning on fitting them to a 2"lifted Disco 2.It looks like you could also jack from them as well,although this to be confirmed. Any experience with these would be appreciated. Cheers Shaun UAE

Hi guys just found you. My year 2000 Disco2 V8 suffers from a sticking throttle , which is only cured by selecting Neutral on the Autobox, at which point the revs rise to about 5000rpm before returning to idle. The stickiness appears to be in the throttlebody not the cables.Before I dismantle has anyone else suffered this also. Cheers Shaun
