    Wanted: 95 LWB Wood Dash Kit

    I haven't been on DiscoWeb in ages, and I just searched without success--I'm looking for the wood insert for the center console of my 95 LWB Alpine White/Sorrel. Previous owner had replaced the wood trim with the Discovery-style rubber mat and a burlwood trim piece around the window and heated...

    Owners of '93/'94 Beluga Sable RRC's

    She sure is pretty inside. I may have title issues with my albatross '95 LWB and may need a cheap and easy solution. How compatible are mechanical parts between a '95 LWB and this '94 LWB? Or is that just more of a nightmare?

    Temp Gauge Hot in Tunnels

    OK, back to a real computer, so I can revisit the conversation. Everything is new in the truck. Radiator, hoses, water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, fan switch, blower motor. The engine is a brand new 4.6 shortblock so I hope it isn't a head gasket, although that would at least be warrantied. Is...

    Temp Gauge Hot in Tunnels

    Sooo, in the midst of a NYC heatwave, the 95 LWB does not like driving in a tunnel with the a/c on. Doesn't matter if tunnel traffic is stop-and-go or moving at 45mph. Temp gauge goes wayyyy up, just teetering on the orange. No engine performance issues. As soon as we hit the fresh air, temp...

    "Dancing" RPM needle

    Thanks, will try that. If this works, I can then watch the RPMs actually fall when the transmission dies on me! :D

    "Dancing" RPM needle

    My '95 LWB needs a transmission (can't find overdrive, sometimes can't find the 2/3 shift). I figure 240k miles and the new (3 mos ago) 4.6 engine, she's about due. Am just waiting for the tranny to die on me (really hope I can make it to Westchester, NY this weekend!). BUT, in addition, my...

    Contacting LRNA With Dealer Complaint

    57loboy, I know, I need to look into small claims court... I still want to sue the b!tch who hit my SWB in January setting off this whole ugly chain of events... PT, that is a gem of an offer to be a "second opinion". Let me check with the powers at Chase Visa to see if they'll take such a...

    Contacting LRNA With Dealer Complaint

    This is the ongoing saga of my new-to-me 95 LWB that I had trucked from Texas to NJ. When it got off the truck, it had a bunch of EAS faults and the oil pressure lamp on. I drove it to LR Paramus the next day and told them to tell me what was up, and to install a new windshield. They sold me...

    Contacting LRNA With Dealer Complaint

    Folks, anyone have a contact at Land Rover NA to whom I can direct a complaint about a dealer/service department? I've poked around and can only seem to find contact infor for people who deal with warranty issues. This is about work LR Paramus (NJ) did on my '95 LWB, so I don't suppsoe the...

    95 RRC Project "Soft Dash"

    Wow! I have a "twin" (right down to the dark tint) but she's rust free (came to me in NYC from TX in January). After owning a SWB in the Northeast for 13 years, I decided to go for a rust-free truck figuring the 'mechanics' would be easier to fix... (I AM SO STUPID!) Curious: you doing...

    93 Classic smells like fuel and stalls

    So I dug up this thread looking for some advice. My 95 LWB is leaking fuel from the tank--seems only at fill up. Will take this to the shop tomorrow first thing. I've noticed the smell a few times before, but I usually fill up in NJ where it is all full-service and I have never noticed the...

    Upper Tailgate Handle Key?

    RoverBLUE, since you have my old truck, I KNOW your tailgate has been replaced. That's why you have a separate key for the upper tailgate :-) I was just too lazy to get them matched... As an aside, though, even the day she was new, the keyless entry remote never synched with the upper...

    200K miles in RRC

    Wow, that's awesome, congrats on the 200k! I have 239k on my '95 LWB (300 miles on the new 4.6 engine). (Does anyone remember a few years back I think it was a Chevy commercial where the guy is driving a pickup truck on a bridge and his odometer turns from 999,999 back to 000,000? I always...

    Door Moldings 95 SWB vs LWB

    Thanks, I emailed Paul Grant. My mechanic was also parting out his LWB last I saw it, but I think that had a hit to the right rear quarter panel and door... I know it is silly to obsess over cosmetic stuff. But I still have the air suspension too, so I just walked out to the car and it is...

    Door Moldings 95 SWB vs LWB

    OK, Rovers North and Atlantic British no longer stock these parts (weird, Eric at RN told me that they had the trim for everything except the right rear door of the LWB; whereas AB told me they once stocked the kit but no more). So I'm on my quest to find a set locally so I don't have to deal...
