    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...

    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?

    the weakesst link?

    Ok, I've got a 2001 Disco II with 90K on the clock a 2" OME lift, new bumper and 12K lb winch. Soon I will install 4:10/4:11 or 3:90 gears and diff locks (not necessary, but since I'm in there). So, after all that, what then becomes the weakest link that the highest potential for failure...

    Throttle Body Cooler Gasket

    2001 Disco II overheating. My trusty mechanic (not an indy LR mechanic, but great guy) discovered a severe leak after having to tow the truck to his shop. It's coming from the worn gasket of the throttle body cooler. What is this, and where can I get one? He was unable to locate one at his...

    DII 4:11 gearing

    Would like to hear from those of you who have changed the gearing in your diffs to 4:11 or something else (GBR, etc.). What difference has this made? I've got a 2001 DII with 2" OME lift and 265 coopers. I tow a military cargo trailer from time to time and it struggles when loaded. I also...

    DII Fender Flares Fading

    I've searched a bit, but can't get a clear answer to my question. Are the DII Fender Flares known for fading? Mine aren't just fading, but are getting rough too. So when I wash them, I have to be careful what I use or it rubs off onto the flare. Such that, if I were to use a paper towel...

    ingress assistance

    Anybody hear of a durable off-road side step or single step (similar to the flip ups on the 109's) for a lifted disco II that would be durable enough for off-road use? Some of the sliders might work, but thought I would ask first in case someone has one in the works. Some kind of flip up or...

    different tire question

    No, I wouldn't dare post another question about tires sizes and will these fit my particular disco. My question has to do with load rating and which ones people are using. Looking at new tires in 265/75/16 Cooper S/T (or starfire/micky thompson equiv.). I have a local shop that is great and...

    OME 2" Installation

    I don't post much, but do read quite a bit. I just wanted to post a quick message about my experience this weekend with installing the OME 2" springs and shocks on a '01 DII. I decided to do this myself. I'm not a mechanic (biologist) and haven't done much like this on cars. Work on my MGB a...

    OME Springs

    Just bought OME springs and shocks for 2001 DII. Apparently after reading and searching this site and suppliers information, the springs on the drivers side are taller. Won't this give the Disco a tilted look? Why is this done? Assuming I am getting 1.5-2 inches of lift, do I need to do...

    CDL on '01 Disco

    Under the technical section of this site there is a description for the installation of a solenoid actuated CDL. However, the write-up doesn't include a description on what year of vehicle it will work on. Looks like a great setup. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? I would...
