I would try to use robertf's software to re-set the adaptive values. Once you have a 'clean slate' things might become more clear.

the Defender labor times book can be found in my google drive linked in my signature

I've settled on some combination of Brembo disks (BREMBO 08534711 front / BREMBO 08531610 rear) with either Akebono (ERU520) or Wagner pads. RockAuto has good pricing generally

I suppose I would reference car-part.com for some guidance. There are a lot of stale listings, but you'll get a sense of it.

Best I can do is point you to the 'reset service engine relay' page which has a couple of pix that may be useful. https://discoweb.org/oldsite/reset/index.htm

Does this help? you can always get rave if you have internet connectivity. On your phone you should be able to download the documents and save them on your device. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Byt3ogVBq68RdFdyX1VQMS1iN00?resourcekey=0-dQYrg4NVhsSkuk1J8-IPfg&usp=drive_link

If it runs well that is great. As far as determining if the head gaskets have been replaced you might see lines on the head bolts near the exhaust manifolds. I use the lines to measure the final torque (90 deg + 90 deg). If you see the lines on the bolts circled in red in the picture, you...

The main thing that seems to affect these engines is heat. They are aluminum and expand/contract more than a iron block engine. Each cylinder has a steel sleeve which is press-fit into the block and can, in extreme situations, become loose (known as a 'slipped sleeve'). So your cooling system...

My guess from experience is that the seat switch is corroded inside. It is a tedious task to remove, clean, reassemble, and replace, but not difficult. I recommend doing it inside a cookie sheet so that then the little ball bearings and springs try to run away, they are contained. Mercedes...

I have gone a couple rounds with my ABS. Generally it has been the sensors that fail on mine. A new bush, sensor, and oil seal seems to do the trick. There are reasonably priced sensors now available (for a time there was only junk or $$$ sensors). check out FCP Euro for the Eurospare...

This is from gems_obd ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byt3ogVBq68RTFRmWktQYWU0MU0/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-4JIrVUdq5aKkyJXVBRRB9A ) Many folks pull the ABS fuse and reading this, I am surprised they all don't have the same problem.

Turns out the simple “manual dimming” units are available. AMR2147 They are not terribly cheap, but oh well.

Just had a new windshield installed and it has the OEM mount thing on it. I had the last windshield installer change the mount to a 'normal' one. (maybe that's why it cracked six years later). How are you dealing with the crazy LR OEM mount? I just want a cheap mirror with a manual night time...

It is a 'regular', righty tighty thread. Terry has kindly sent one to me.

Done. A fellow Rover fan is sending me the bolt.
