My signal lamps all still worked when my dash was off. There was no noise or light on the cluster to suggest they were working, but when you got out of the car and looked at them, sure enough, they all were fine. Further update: the Clusterfix fix is still holding up great.

You can keep rolling the dice with radiators on ebay, but the odds are not in your favor. Or you can just buy a Nissens and know you are getting the correct product. Your money, your time, your choice.

In a Disco 1, GEMS = 1996 through 1999, noting that 99 was the changeover year when both the D1 and D2 were on the market. 94 and 95 were 14CUX. In a P38, GEMS = 1996-1998. 99-02 are Bosch. All 1990s RRCs are 14CUX although the 1995 model has a bunch of properties unique to that model year...

Welcome to DiscoWeb, it's nice to have more international members. Before making a purchase, I encourage you to research the crankshaft issue on the 2.7 TDV6 engine. I forget the full story but there's some problem with the engine design that causes the crankshafts to snap at higher mileage...

Chase Prowse has an XD, complete and completely original, that he restored. I wrote an article about it for Alloy & Grit. He's not on here, but he's a prolific poster on Facebook. I saw him recently on the Land Rover Trading Wall "MERICAN" Version page.

Nothing trivial about that. In fact, that's the most important part of the whole thread. My youth running around under the African sun and working as a rafting/mountaineering guide is catching up to me. I see my dermatologist a couple times a year and she has been proactive about removing...

You know what this is. If you have a Land Rover/Range Rover of suitable vintage this tool is obligatory kit for ownership. $320 includes flat rate USPS shipping with tracking (US only). PayPal G & S accepted. Includes original box and data cable. Buyer needs to re-register with GAP.

Living on the edge!

I'm curious to hear your experience. I have a spare seal in my parts collection and have been delaying the inevitable. So far my inclination is to leave it to the pros but I may change my mind.

OBD Link LX. I found one on eBay for $35. Pairs via Bluetooth with my phone and I read the data using the Torque Pro app. https://www.obdlink.com/products/obdlink-lx/

Bloody vikings!

What's the source of the photo? Doesn't look recent based on the absence of winglets on the plane.

Nothing. Aside from changing fluids and filters straight off, I'd drive the vehicle for a while and get to know it. Listen, look, smell, feel, and observe real time data. I'd rather let the vehicle tell me what it needs rather than do whatever came with some kit compiled by someone who has...

Gold star for today's thread revival: 7+ years. My 2008 LR3 is at 180,000 miles and I service it more frequently than the factory intervals (5,000 miles for engine oil, for example) and the 4.4 is so quiet I can hardly hear it idling. Since 2017 we've learned of the timing chain guide...

As the new owner of a Discovery Sport we'll see how much raving I do about that. So far the only thing I can report is that I have been driving a 2025 D110 for two weeks while the dealer replaces a USB port in the Sport. No experience yet driving my own car, but the loaner has been fun. Still...

And driving a (gasp) Discovery 5! Which he loves.

I recommend searching this forum, as there are a great many threads discussing the differences between the D1 and D2, as well and the pros and cons of each. My personal experience from driving thousands of km in southern Africa in diesel Land Rovers is that the TD5 is a superior engine for...

Gold star for using the word "escutcheon." Not something that comes up in conversation every day.

Here's another source for engines I just came across. https://www.radroveroutfitters.com/ They sell the motors they remove from Defenders for custom conversions.

Out of curiosity I asked ChatGPT a list of questions to which I already knew the answers through my own expertise and tracking at work. It had about a 60% accuracy rate and was so far off base on some answers that I became confused. No doubt it has its uses, but I would trust Skynet's answers...
