    Need opinion on 89 RR purchase

    Well these miles would be by choice only. I have a daily driver (06 Saab 9-3) so I would only drive it when I wanted to. But, I am curious, what was so bad about driving it that much?

    Need opinion on 89 RR purchase

    Joseph, I live in Knoxville. I dont mind paying more for the parts and I dont mind if some of the non essential things dont work correctly.....for example, If the driver seat motor breaks but it is adjusted the way I like it....who cares. I know that the engine, tranny, axles, t case, etc are...

    Need opinion on 89 RR purchase

    I will look over it again for rust. I had the rear selt belt anchors begin to rust on my 96Disco, so I did look there and it was solid. I did not check the bottom of the floors or A pillar, but I did check the cargo area and tailgate--all solid. I dont mind a little rust though, from what I...

    Need opinion on 89 RR purchase

    Thanks! As I said, I am familiar with the vehicles and expect certain faults. What is the liklihood the window regulators, window motors, power seats, etc will take a dump if they are working now? I figure a 94-95 Disco would have manual seats which is one less thing to break, but then again...

    Need opinion on 89 RR purchase

    I need another Rover! As a previous owner of two Discos (96 and 01) I recently got rid of my 01 and bought a Saab 9-3 as I needed a sporty sedan. Anyhow, my plan all along was to get a 94-95 Disco, but I think I would prefer an 88-91 RR if I can find the right one. Anyhow, I have found an 89...

    Some D2 stuff

    Just cleaning out some of the things I dont need. I have a pair of thule mounts and crossbars that go onto the factory rails, they are in great condition. I also have an extra keyfob from a different D2. I dont need 3. It is in almost perfect shape. How about $30 ($25 for me and $5 for dweb) for...

    2003 D2 shocks 12k miles

    I have a set of shocks from a 2003 D2 with 12k miles. Softer valving than the 99-02, but will fit all D2s. I was gonna toss them but figured if anyone wants them they can have them for free plus shipping.

    Best Fluids

    A few things.....the LR 7500 interval is a load of crap. Change it every or use synthetic if you are gonna do 7500. I prefer Castrol syntec in the engine only because I like using their 5w-50. I use Mobil in everything else. Matthew

    Help me with my Vibes

    Tire vibe would change if you took your foot off of the gas. You have worn ujs in your front d shaft. Replace soon, as this is cheap and if it lets go you are up sh*& creek.

    thunk

    My 01 D2 makes a metal on metal clunk noise sometimes when the left front wheel goes into a big bump or sometimes over speed bumps. I have heard it make the same noise when crawling and flexing. I have tightened everything up and it makes no difference. I has gradually been getting more and more...

    oil consumption

    My 01 D2 really does not consume any between changes. I pressure wash the undercarriage about every 2 weeks or so and I can usually see a faint wetness but never any drops before I wash.

    dent removal

    Just wondered if anyone has ever had any of those "dent wizard" type companies come and remove any dings. I had them do it once on Bimmer, and they did a good job, but I did not know if the aluminum panels on the disco would give them trouble. Anyone? Thanks Matthew
