    What Coolant Color now?

    Getting ready to resurrect the D2 after sitting for a few years. It has the old standard Green Coolant in it now. Is there a better choice or is this what everyone has gone back too after the "orange GM head gasket eating shit"?

    Mark Adams chip / Tornado systems

    Whats the consensus on this set-up? Didn't see any other threads on it other than the Powerchip bashing thread from 2008.

    03-04 Land Rover Discovery 2 Upper Intake Manifold vs 00-02 Intake

    Nope - if you search for them, they are list with 00-02 or o3-04 part numbers.

    03-04 Land Rover Discovery 2 Upper Intake Manifold vs 00-02 Intake

    Are these intakes really different? or did they just give it a diff part number as it went onto a 4.6l engine? I know the air-box lid, MAF, and intake tube are a bit larger for the 4.6, but not sure about these intakes.

    D2 Tie Rod Ends (Terrafirma Rods)

    How long ago was that? All I see is $50 a piece. Are they that good? https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/brands/lemfoerder?&brandName=lemfoerder&beginIndex=0&sortBy=5&_r=0.16351185789194478

    Advice for work to do while the engine is out

    I found some big/short Allen Head "Set-Screws" ant the Hardware Store - Tapped the holes and screwed them in with a liberal amount of Red Locktite. Not sure if the Locktite will hold up to the head temps, but so-far all is well.

    Not sure of the Brand of TRE's that came with the set-up - They are R & L threaded. - Seems i read someplace that Defender TRE's will work.

    Advice for work to do while the engine is out

    I still get all the info on the scanguage - the only fault I have is one of the O2 sensors reads as low voltage. - Pretty sure its the rear one and has no effect on the engine - and that may be from the removal of the SAI clutter. After removing all the EPA crap the engine runs much cleaner...

    D2 Tie Rod Ends (Terrafirma Rods)

    I installed the Terrafirma HD Track Rod & Drag Link about 2 or 3 years ago. While greasing up the Tie Rod Ends I noticed that all the Boots are already splitting and one of the ends already feels very binding or rough if you twist it side to side - And I've barely had it off road. I'm pretty...

    Advice for work to do while the engine is out

    I just put in the Base Crower Cam and stroked it to a 4.6 - Got rid of all the emissions crap (including the cats) & pluged the SAI holes in the heads, balanced the crank, as well as the usual new rings, gasket set. Made a nice difference. Going to big on the cam is a waste for me, and it...

    Mounting auxilliary reverse lights on a D2

    I got these of Amazon ~$18 and cut a hole - then just tied them into the existing reverse lights - bright as shit and you can see what your about to hit.
