    97 D1 key fob stopped working

    Hear my tale of woe (and go check your front shaft UJs NOW!)

    Greetings everyone. I have had an Epic tale of woe recently and thought there might be some lessons you can learn from my experience. This is a bit long, so let me get a couple of Bottom Lines up Front: When a mechanic tells you something is broken, ALWAYS look at it yourself. Scrupulously...

    Adding rear A/C to a D1

    Land Rover doesn't make the tubing for the rear AC anymore so its junk yards or fabbing the tubing. And if the left rear shock mount disintegrates, the top of the shock will destroy those tubing assemblies. dont ask how I know :(

    Why wouldn't my D2 unstuck itself ?

    Disco 1 power seats

    The super poor seat switch is probably busted. This happens to me with some regularity when my kids step on the switch climbing through the rover. That switch seems unbelievably fragile. Check the schematic and try cheating the switch to see if the motors work and its just the switch.

    steering shaft ujoints

    I was at the dealer looking for that UJ while I was replacing the steering box, and was told the whole steering shaft has been superceeded and it no longer has that joint in it. It looked like a better design. It was some bucks though. cheers -jeff
