kirkynut Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I've done a search but couldn't find anything on here. My question is whether all Disco 2's came with ACE? Also, which model came with coils from the factory? Cheers Kirkynut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Not all came with ACE. Other than that I don't know which did/didn't. 5-seaters came with coils on the rear, but I think air was an option. 7 seaters certainly left the factory on air at the back.

kirkynut Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thanks for that, still unsure about Disco 2's due to the amount there is to go wrong and the wheel bearings don't seem as cheap of easy to replace as the old type.

duncmc Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I had a 2001 Disco 2 ES TD5 auto 5 seat that was on springs at the rear, that I ordered new, but imported from Belgium. 2002 UK spec. I remember that at the time when I ordered it rear air suspension was an option even on the 5 seater. ACE was also an option on some spec levels that didn't have it as standard.

SparkyMark Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We had one (until it had an unhappy meeting with an armco barrier) that had air suspension and ACE, and was 7 seat. I can confirm it worked very well, and did stop it rocking on the suspension immediately prior to the incident - which I think would have possibly rolled without. I think ACE was only an option on air suspension models and only the 5 seaters could have coil springs (as air would self level with extra weight) Air suspension (SLS) and ACE are good, when they are working...

Definitely available with coils on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks90 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 ACE was standard on all discos that had rear air suspension and an option for all the others. If it has bags on the back it will definitely have it, unless it proved problematic and a previous owner ripped it off and put standard arb's on it. its a very good system, when it doesnt puke its green guts out.

BogMonster Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 ACE was standard on all discos that had rear air suspension and an option for all the others. No it wasn't. I know at least two here with SLS but no ACE. I sold them in my last job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Our D2 with bags on the back I'm sure didn't have ACE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaterboy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Excuse my ignorance, please, but do the self levelling suspension and ACE systems share any components, eg pumps, pipes? Or, are they totally separate systems? Also, what are the most common / likely components to fail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
