Thanks much, but we had it towed to Dusouth in Dallas. I'll keep you in mind if we're down your way sometime, though.

OK, this sucks. I packed the family into the 2004 Disco today in Austin, got as far as Texarkana, and now we're getting misfire codes, rough idle, and a blinking CEL. Anybody know where the closest good Land Rover mechanic is?

You're welcome to ask. If you can get a better deal, that'd be great. If you use the Flowkooler sales e-mail, he'll answer. Personally, given the cost of the other options, I don't see a problem with this deal. But that's just my view.

I looked into that, too. If you buy a pump and controller that can actually do the job, it's at least as expensive as getting a better radiator. The Davies-Craig pumps won't cut it. A high-flow mechanical pump is a better option in my opinion, if we can get somebody to make one.

mbrummal, I'm sure a bigger radiator would improve things, but a high-flow water pump is quite a bit cheaper. And this radiator and fan really ought to be big enough to keep the coolant temp under control just driving around town with the A/C on.

Oh, and by the way, the question about commissions is an asshole move. If they develop a water pump, I get to buy one. That's all. I'm hoping other people want one too, because I can't fund the entire $800 development cost. I'm not getting paid.

Humidity helps quite a bit. I'm looking at hot and dry weather, and with both front and rear A/C on, it gets up to the low 200's. If I pull up a long hill with ambient temperatures above 100F, it will hit 215 or even 220. The other thing is that engine temperatures are reasonable only if...

I'm adding this in case you're wondering why the Flowkooler pumps improve engine cooling. More flow, as long as you don't reduce the system pressure, will always mean more cooling. The more trips the coolant takes through the system per minute, the more heat it will move. I've heard people...

The engine cooling system on my 2004 D2 works about as good as a D2 can work, but I'm still not satisfied. I have done the inline thermostat conversion (with a 180* Stant), added a transmission cooler from a 2003 as an engine oil cooler, and put in a rebuilt 4.6L with flanged liners. New...

Yes, it is a SAI engine. All the 2004 were, I think.

OK, so funny story. My 2003 D2 slipped a liner and I decided to replace the POS with an Atlantic-British rebuilt short block. 600 miles later, a tree fell on the truck. Long story short, I've got a 2004 D2 that I'm swapping my nearly-new engine into. The factory engine from the 2004 was...
