Thank you! ws just looking at my AB cart

Interesting. This blowing into the expansion tank is to get rid of air bubbles?

Thanks. Thing is, my expansion tank had leaked last year, and the gasket was replaced. No leaks, and a pressure test last week confirms this. So really the rad is the last item left. I got the car at 90k and can’t know if this is the stock rad. If so, it’s 23 yrs old, and a new one can only help.

Gents, Am having overheating issues primarily after running down the highway for more than 45minutes. Went into the red once, DashCommand was showing 240 - coolant steamed but never bubbled over, and limped home later. Shop changed T-stat and burped - still overheating after 40minutes...

Wish I could. Bought it 3 years ago after 4 previous owners since 1996.

greetings, 1996 D1 / ARB bumper / Safari rack / snorkel / OME 2" lift / Michelin LT265/75/R16 119k miles Tilting to passenger side I'm guessing all of the above cept the tires was from the original owner (1996!!), and I'm starting to look into the suspension. For the foreseeable future, I...

This has been recommended by folks here for my D1. Apologies, - but what's the special value of this upgrade? and why only the front? thanks chewing on it.

Just ordered a bunch of interior parts from Paul Grant. I'd actually paid for a dash assembly last year, and cancelled. He was kind enough to keep the balance, and organized enough to track it down. Shout out too to Abran. All fast easy seamless - and reasonably priced. Thanks and Happy...

In the last 6 months driving around NJ/Manhattan/Brooklyn, I reckon I've been next to 30-50 of these late model Discoveries. Say 40% have no clue what a 96 Disco is, the rest I swear avert their gaze when I look over. On the other hand, my brother borrowed the rover to go upstate with his kids...

Thanks will do. So far, most everything's running right - except cruise control and sunroofs lol.

yep that's the one - $638. If I chance upon new cheaper cats, I'll have those welded in and keep my Y. thanks

Thanks. Done on all except radiator and fan clutch. Will look into Defender brakes.

Thanks. Copy that. Sound, while tempting, was never a good enough reason for me. Also, I meant not used cats, but unused w/ box types on craigslist and whatnot. Guess the main theme is: what are 'reasonable' upgrades for my D1. Can you elaborate on cooling systems? also gathered I could replace...

folks, While my cats and exhaust did pass NJ emissions, I'm thinking ahead and thinking Magnaflow. Its roughly $1100 for new cats and catback exhaust, without labor. From what I've gleaned, it's no miracle hp boost, but mine's probably original 1996,so might be a good time. There's gotta be...

Thanks, will try that. Actually ignored that bit, was concentrating on the regulator. That one seems locked solid - but should check (forget the name) the part where the glass actually rests on the bottom. btw, the felt channel on my driver's side window - I managed to pull up the vertical...
