    Headliner Options *pics*

    I used bed liner for the, well, the bed of my 110. UPol Raptor is tintable and I highly recommend it. I've had it on my roll cage for about four years now and I think I found one tiny scratch somewhere recently. Inside it hasn't fared as well, but that's not the fault of the UPol Raptor. I...

    I put my 300tdi head back on too soon

    This is for any of you who might sometimes have felt not up to a task. I'm here to make you feel more competent. My knowledgeable friend took one look at the air conditioner compressor and pointed out that I was attempting to remove the wrong bolts. So that was that. Compressor out, glow...

    I put my 300tdi head back on too soon

    I can understand your comments about "do it right", given my suggestion of just not using one of the glow plugs. However, my questions weren't really about that. Pulling the head off isn't necessarily "doing it right" as maybe I've missed some trick to getting the glow plug in. In that case...

    I put my 300tdi head back on too soon

    I'm putting my 300tdi back together, and there are a couple jobs that in retrospect I should have done while the head was still off. I didn't put my glow plugs back in, and I can't get the front one in without moving the air conditioner out of the way. I can't get the back bolt off to remove...

    Would you add the Locker?

    Well if you put "Period" at the end of a sentence it ends the discussion. Period. Since MM3846 was able to so convincingly end the argument, let's go with his comment of "dual LSDs". Truetrac is an LSD, and in fact the only one I can think of offhand that's available for these trucks. Yes...

    Time to switch v8->200tdi?

    I had a 1996 Discovery 5spd and I loved it. I loved it until I lent it to someone and when I got it back the engine had overheated and was destroyed. I'm no longer associated with that individual. That's also not including the multitude of issues I had with the V8 even when it was running...

    Time to switch v8->200tdi?

    OK thanks. That makes sense.

    Time to switch v8->200tdi?

    Thanks. I'm familiar with 200tdi performance as I have a 200tdi 110. With the Discovery being smaller/lighter than a 110 with a winch, lift, oversized tires, roll cage, if I can handle the 110's "speed" I'm sure I'll be fine with the Disco. What do you mean by "a lot of the mountings are...

    Time to switch v8->200tdi?

    I've decided I'm going to do this swap. I have a friend who's offered to help me do it, so that's tipped the scales over to this decision. Are there any good writeups on the internet on how to do this? I've pulled the engine out of my 110 once with the help of some friends, or rather I helped...

    4 Discoveries: 300tdi, 200tdi, V8

    I've had a couple friends express an interest in doing an engine swap, or working with me to fix the 300tdi. So I've taken these off the market temporarily to see if any of those offers come through.

    4 Discoveries: 300tdi, 200tdi, V8

    In case anyone's interested, I fired up the 200tdi tonight and it ran surprisingly well for a truck that's been sitting for 3 or whatever years, with diesel the same age. I've put more videos, including a video of that truck running, under various folders at...

    4 Discoveries: 300tdi, 200tdi, V8

    Unfortunately though I don't think the truck surrounding the 200tdi is salvageable. It's in very rough shape. I'm really just selling a drivetrain inside a LHD Discovery, which makes it a convenient template for an engine swap to another truck.

    Make me an offer! I'm not averse to selling it separately.
