    LR3 Block Heater

    Installed my Land Rover block heater last weekend. Worked great with the cold weather we have had the last couple of days here in MN. It took a little bit of work to install as I needed to purchase a 17MM allen socket to pull the plug from the block. I am not sure what the easiest way to...

    Hitch from UK???

    I put a Curt hitch on my 2008 LR3. Very easy install. Got it from Rock Auto for just over $100. It took about 40 minutes to install with about 30 of the minutes on the first bolt. Fed it through in the wrong spot and got it stuck for a few minutes. Other than that it was a piece of cake.

    atlantic british water pump???

    I used a cheap one from Atlantic British and failed before it was 2 years old. Started leaking in the winter when it was about -20 and I pulled someone out of the ditch. Put an original one back in. No problems. It had a big heavy looking impeller that I thought looked cheap.

    So do I take it by the lack of answers that no one in MN has an ABS Amigo that I could use?

    Just completed '99 Disco II 4HP24 swap

    I just completed swapping in a 4HP24 into my Disco II. It went out this winter when it was about -30* F out. I had just put in a block heater and had it plugged in that night and took it for a drive in the morning. It shifted really rough and skipped around bad. After that it would not go into...

    CDL Shifter....straight from down under!

    I had one of these on my Disco II for a while. I much prefer the shifter as this was terribly slow in the winter in MN. It took forever to unlock while driving.

    04 T-Case Shifter

    A Disco I transfer case shifter will not work on the Disco IIs that have the 4HP24 transmissions that came behind the 4.6. Missing the mount.

    Going rate for Transfer case w/ Diff lock..?

    You need to use the 2004 CDL as you can't use a Disco I CDL shifter on a 4HP24.

    Mysterious Check Engine Light? Maybe not?

    Check to see if there are any codes stored. Go to a auto parts store and borrow their OBDII scanner and get the codes.

    Disco II Power Steering Pump

    I used ATF for power steering fluid in all my other vehicles, including my Disco I. My Disco II did not like it. I tried other power steering fluid but have since switch to the correct stuff Land Rover recommends. My Disco II even when sitting out on cold -20* F days in MN works great. No more...

    Flipping tire carrier... Whats the trick?

    I had flipped mine, but it seemed to cause the hinges to start to wear more, so I flipped it back and made a spacer to mount it away and up. It keeps the tire closer to the hinges then when you flip the mount which pushes the tire away from the hinges.

    2003 Disco with slipping trans in reverse & 3rd - Where to go?

    I live in the area as well. Now as far as shops go, I do all my work myself so I don't know who to suggest. My Disco II has no reverse gear. I am in the process of getting ready to replace my transmission as well. I'm going to put a 4HP24 in mine instead of another 4HP22. I am also putting the...
