Ok.. Had a chance to really look under the hood today for the disco I just purchased. Besides being completly bare, I noticed some things were out of place and not-factory. There are a few things I would like to compare to another 95 disco (factory) or even non-factory as long as the non items are identified. In particular, I am curious to see the airbox area. Mine looks a little odd. Also, anyone know where the vacuum line for the cruise control goes to? I have no line on it at all. Thanks, Mike | ||

Chris- Yes I did! Thanks a bunch. I went to your pictures first, but the hood was shut in all of them.  I am looking for pictures of the air-box area and manifold side. Also, can you take a snap shot of under the vehicle? Is the stock steering damper located in front or behind the front axle? Thanks, Mike | ||

For example... In this picture here: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/robhamilton/Image138.jpg Is the undersides of this truck (factory) stock? See the swaybar behind the axle, it looks like my steering damper is mounted there. Is this correct? Mike | ||

thats the tie rod you see there and the factory location of the steering damper is located on the tie rod not the drag link as that pic shows. that truck has a relocation kit on it for the steering damper | ||

yea thom is right, i don't have a relocation kit for mine so it is just sitting in the stock spot, behind. Let me go take a picture and i will send it to you. Marcel | ||

Chris- Thanks a bunch for the pictures. They did help quite a bit. Next to the airbox, there is an "L" shaped bracket attached to the fender area.. What is this? What goes under it? I have the bracket in the back of the truck, with nothing else under it. Thanks, Mike | ||

Thom- Thanks for the explanation. It makes it much more sense now. Mike | ||

Mike the jack is supposed to go there, i took mine out of there and put it with all my recovery gear and such in an ammo box in the trunk. | ||
