    Camera Lens question

    What exactly do you mean when you say you don't want to have to deal with a full frame sensor camera? Cost? I'm no expert on the subject, as a few of the posters appear to be, but my understanding is that a full frame sensor can make a better photo with crappier glass than can a smaller sensor...

    P0441 Generic Evaporative Emission System Incorrect Purge Flow Check your gas cap? Here is a list of some of the Generic OBDII codes as well. Anything P0xxx is generic and non-specific to Land Rover.

    New LR DII owner

    Welcome Rotus, good luck sorting out the 'issues', I'm sure you will find the help you need around here. pdogg, I'm not an H3 owner, and not interested in owning one, but I think you'd be surprised if one accompanied you on a serious trail ride. I mean, even Land Rover failed to offer us...

    Urgent Help!

    You are not suppose to lift the wheel up off the ground until you 'break' the lugs loose, just set the jack and start to take up the load. This way the wheel doesn't turn. One you 'crack' the lugs loose, raise the wheel off the ground and finish removing the lug nuts. If you have a center...

    ? Safest Land Rover ? New vs old

    I’d have to say the latest model LR3's are likely the safest Land Rovers ever to roll of the assembly line. Side impact air bags, head curtain airbags, boron steel roof pillars (something that came over from Volvo, ever see the XC90 roll over test?), technology marches on, and every year more...

    Maryland Rover Clubs?

    R.O.V.E.R.S. is really a PA based club, but the closest I know of in the area. Good group, check out their web site.. They have a Trials Event this Sunday in Robesonia PA, great way to get out, join and meet members. Trails are mild to moderate. It is members only, but you can join the day...

    Block Heaters?????

    Why would it be any more likely to "pop" out than the factory freeze plug would be? Aren't they both an interference fit?

    DII Seat heaters lower cushion only?

    Are the Seat heaters in '04 Discovery II's just the seat cushion, or also the lower backrest as well?

    How Reliable are the '04 Disco II's?

    I'm not new to Rovers (currently own a '95 D-90 and still miss my sold but not forgotten '96 Disco I). I'm trying to convince my wife that it is worth taking a chance on a newer '04 Disco II (she almost divorced me over the numerous problems we had with our '96). Were most of the problems...

    ARB locker leaking fluid

    ARB's have (or at least had) a fairly common issue with a seal failure on the locking piston (p/n 23 in this link). I experienced it with an ARB in a different truck back in '96, and was told by a reputable gear shop that it is quite common, and generally the result of improper installation...

    Can anyone tell me what year..

    Thanks for the response Steph, But I think we are missing each other on the description. I'm pretty sure lower LATCH anchors became mandatory in late 2002 for SUV's, but I'm not sure when Land Rover actually added them (Many manufacturers did it a year or two prior to the mandate). The...

    Larger than scock tires

    285's and wider will rub the top rear spring perches as well as the front shock towers when stuffed, at least on stock alloys. I was told this from several reputable sources, and have experienced it myself on my own truck, lift is irrelevant, it is the width that is the problem (assuming you...

    Can anyone tell me what year..

    The Disco II's got rear seat LATCH lower anchors in the lower cushions of the rear seat (not the top tether anchors), and what positions they were in (driver's side outboard, passenger's side outboard, center)? On another note, anyone using a large convertible car seat like the Britax...
