    DII Coolant Leak-Been Searching

    Trusty mechanic says leak is coming from font engine timing belt cover gasket and the coolant is walking out through the bolts. Also might have a leak at the plennum gasket. He called a indy LR guy who said there's a TSB on this and the DII's are known for this problem. Already fixed the...

    Little help needed for a Disco chick

    Hijacking! This past winter a friend was driving my DII for short trip and put the drivers side window down. Won't go back up. I pull the panel. Motor turns and can hear what sounds like gears grinding against each other. Put the window up by hand about 2 inches and it goes up on it's own...

    The Good and Bad of Land Rovers and Snow

    My rover, a 2001 DII, sucks in the snow. I'm thinking it's the tire choice. I have 265 Cooper Discoverer ST. Great in everything else, but in snow, the rover has a mind of it's own, and the TC is constantly on. My wife drives a 98 trooper with Cooper Discoverer M&S and it runs circles around...

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    First time to Paragon my disco was stock. Performed flawlessly. It's possible to have fun at paragon in something stock. Especially in a disco.

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    Paragon is pretty cool for what it is. Been there a bunch. Wish we had vast expanses of "wilderness" like CO with a bunch of old logging/mining roads and trails here in the mid-atlantic.

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    A couple of years ago I started creating a GIS map of off-road worthy legal trails in this great state of PA. I have a family cabin in SW PA close to Ohiopyle, PA and have mapped some of those as well as some forest roads I've been on. Too bad we can't lobby DCNR/Forest Service to allow access...

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    Yes I was a member of ROVERS a few years ago. Recently I've noticed more adventurous looking rovers of all shapes and sizes in the York area and thought I'd attempt to reach out to see if they are here. Not that I'm not a ROVERS fan, but if there is a York contingent that would want to meet up...

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    pschuler: I graduated from Towson U (Towson State U. in the day) and lived in Hereford for a while. tikicar: Yep, was I that you saw. Sorry for the delayed "rover wave". As usual I was looking at everything but the road. Just saw your pm in my inbox. Sorry took so long. I sent you a pm...

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    Not that I'm aware. Only saw the rig a few times. Looks to have stock, but trimmed, front bumper and a stock winch mount w/winch. Didn't see any body damage. Been off-road locally?

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    Looking for nearby rover owners and maybe getting together for wheeling, teck talk, whatever. There's also a guy in Red Lion who has a DII and an older 110 (non-defender) 200/300 TDI. You here?

    Green DII lifted in Spry, PA.

    Non-tech, sorry. Green 99-02 DII lifted w/winch in Spry, PA (York). You here? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know this doesn't belong in Tech, but this spot gets most attention. Any other Dwebbers close to York, PA?

    rebuilt front D2 shaft

    Did you really think this thread was dead? I just couldn't let it die. One last question. Shaft is rebuilt, but it's pretty stiff especially the CV/Double cardan. Is this normal with all new parts? It moves and once worked a little, it moves a little more freely, but it's still stiff...

    Driveshaft almost does major damage

    It's 14 mm. 9/16 will work, but you'll need new nuts afterwards as you'll round them off. Don't raise the vehicle. Only need one wrench either side to get loose. For the front which had been rounded off, i used locking pliers. Worked like a charm. Sometime after April of 2001 they...

    rebuilt front D2 shaft

    South of York. I checked their website and the closest was the towanda location. Which is different from the Tonawanda close to Buffalo. There are apparently a ton in NY. Two in PA and none in MD. I think it's odd too. I may take you up on your offer. Any other detailss?

    rebuilt front D2 shaft

    Nori - sent PM. Yes, trying to do as file says. Its the centering ball that you popped out that is the problem. Mine is trashed. Frickjp - was trying to figure out if you sent to fleet-pride or what. You answered question. Thanks. Since they have experience with Rovers, I may send to...

    rebuilt front D2 shaft

    ?? I'm almost on the mason dixon line. Towanda is 3+ hours north. If this is what you mean. I'm waiting for a call back from Bill @ GBR. So I do know what a telephone is. Do you send your shaft to Fleet Pride?

    They aren't close to me. About 2 hours away where they can service this.

    rebuilt front D2 shaft

    Thanks. We did see this thread earlier but couldn't decide if the centering kit from NAPA actually fit. Early on in the thread it indicates it has different dimmensions, but doesn't give implications. "Neapco's PN for the center bearing kit is 7-008NG. It must have the NG suffiz to denote...

    rebuilt front D2 shaft

    Need help ASAP! Shaft is being rebuilt right now as I write. I guess the centering ball is shot. In a previous post and from directions that NORI sent, it seems like this is replaceable but the part numbers don't line up. No driveline shop local, so my trusty mechanic is doing the job...
