Discovery 2 ACE leaks

[300tdi]

Hi, just discovered a serious leak from pipes on offside just in front of the rear wheel. Q, am I wright in saying you can replace the whole system with standard anti roll bars? or am I wasting my time and should replace the faulty pipes?
Thanks Ian.

Just replace the faulty pipes.

It's easier and keeps the system original.

I swapped mine to normal ARB's because the pipes cost quite a bit (and they're very fiddly to replace). The ride quality is definitely not as good as with the ACE system.

Does anyone know any good reason you couldn't use braided brake line instead?

I asked this when mine broke and apparently the pressure is too high.

I have a complete set of ACE pipes spare they were taken off a low milage car I bought for spares, you will miss the ACE if you remove it.On my V8 with a 300 HP 5 litre it used to drift quite nicely!

I guessed it might be that, but I'm still surprised it can't be done. Plenty of hydraulic applications use hoses.

We've got agricultural sprayers and sugar beet harvesters which are driven hydraulically.

I asked the guy who presses our hoses as well as the (independent) LR specialist I use. Both were against it.

Cheers. The pump is attached with hoses though.

Hi, I have had the two rear pipes replaced at a total cost of £385, thanks for the advice. All is well now.

I removed the pump and fitted the replacement idler pulley and belt the had ace turned off. It leaned a bit on tight corners but then I didn't drive it like a sports car
