I am getting a constant coolant level light flicker. My coolant level isn't changing, and I swapped out the sensor for a known working one. So it must be an electrical gremlin, maybe a bad ground for the sensor? Where do I look? Thanks.

Where am I? You came to my house to get the brush guard.

Another l'burg rover checking in. I hang out with three others in town. VArova87, do you still have that brush guard? I have the red Disco with the flag on the hood. Give me a shout if you have a get-together. James

MB Euro Service, Boonsboro Rd. - cheap and very good.

Hey, I am in Lynchburg too. We have a group of 4-5 Rover (Discos, Rangies, and Series trucks) guys around town. We might be able to help. We also get out to wheel every now and then, when work and family permits. Give me a PM if you like. James

I just replaced my steering shaft in my RRC. It took me forever to get the shaft off the output from the steering box too. After a few hours (on and off) of tugging and banging, I used a large (32m) open ended wrench as a lever. I positioned it around the spline, against the u-joint, and...

For the record, I had the same problem. The diff lock sensor switch was interfering with the diff lock lever internally, not alowing me to lock it up. I thought that something else was broken. I had a used transfer case, so I put that in. Then while tinkering with the old case, I unscrewed...

To test if it is locked - On flat ground, chock all wheels, lock CDL, keep it in neutral without parking brake, and jack up only one wheel. Now trying to spin the wheel that is off the ground. If the CDL is locked, the wheel shouldn't spin more than a few inches. If that is the case, and your...

Happy Birthday Ivan. Your second annual 29th, at least that is what some friends call it... I just had my first. Cheers to you. I will imbibe in your honor. James

Man, do we need the support. The Italians have the ability to nick a goal and sit back in the bunker. We need to take it at them from the start. Here's to a full 90. Good on ya Ed. Well done Engerland. Call me crazy, but with how well Beckham is crossing the ball, it might seem stupid to...

The early goal looked like it gutted the boys. 5' - nothing Eddie Pope was marking that 6'6" Czech guy. He was a foot above Pope in the air. I like to think that the team makes up for size with fitness. But, man, they spent a lot of the time standing around, back passing. Here's for an...

Gonzo, that's the truth, unfortunately. Soccer, or MLS rather, has to compete with the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NASCAR for crying out loud. All of those leagues are taylor made for commercials/sponsorship. Not to mention the college equivalents of those sports. I am not sure a World Cup...

Just to clarify, "Soccer" is a British term. There are two types of football across the pond, rugby football and association football. To shorten these names, slang terms were used to describe athletes in both sports - "ruggers" for rugby players and "soccers" for association players. So...

I went to a small (220 students) private boarding/day school. I saw most of the pranks listed above by other classes, including mine, animals inside, furniture moved, even porn pages glued to headmaster's office walls. But the best was a few years before my time. One senior class locked the...

FWIW, I replaced the air bags on my RRC with D90 stock spirings from my old '97. I did not get any increased lift over other RRC's with stock coils. This was on a LWB, but the weight of a Disco should be similar.
