It’s a stock but low miles (27,XXX) 4.0. The only non-stock aspect that may affect fuel economy is it has new Ford type injectors that produce a finer spray pattern. On the 16 mile 5000 feet drop the accelerator pedal is never touched. Engine braking is standard just about the whole way. down...

Last tank was 88 octane (mid grade here). At high elevation, regular is 86 octane. If I go “down the mountain” I can get 87. I will give that a try next. I have not noticed any preignition issues. I believe with most driving being between 8000 and 9000 feet I may be able to get by with 87.

I am sorry if this is a tired topic but when I searched I couldn’t find much on it. I calculated my fuel economy the last 2 fill ups and am getting 16.5 miles per gallon. I think that is pretty good, particularly since the EPA numbers are 14-16.That is mostly 2 lane 45-60mph driving but in...

The stock cam (again, very low miles) in my 4.0 with 5-speed handles mountain driving very well, even the nearly 5000 ft 16 mile incline I regularly travel. However, I’m not towing anything. But, I do have heavy SG bumpers, if that matters. When I first got this one running, compared to my high...

I have someone that has claimed it but the deal has not closed. I will reach back out as soon as the deal closes or doesn’t.

I’m just going to buy the stock one, probably from LR direct.

I am back looking at this issue and figured I should follow up. . I disconnected the the switch and my false alarms seem to have gone away. Now to decide if I want to fix it or just leave it that way. I started a new post about that.

I have been having an issue with the alarm activating all on its own on a 96 D1. I disconnected the micro switch on the driver door handle / lock assembly and have been without false alarms since, about 2 weeks. This leads me to believe it was the source of the problem, either a bad micro switch...

I’d like to buy a few CD changer magazines.

Speaking of scheming, I remember an advertisement when British Leyland was selling Triumph TR8s. They had a deal if you came to England, purchased a TR8, and drove it for a while there you could bring it back to the states tax free. They called it the “Tax Free Scheme.”

I had planned to convert one of my D1s to 5-speed but I already have 2 other 5-speed D1s. I’ve also kinda started liking driving the automatic. I need to recoup some of the money I have been spending on the D1 projects as well. The manual pedal assembly was extremely hard to find and I had to...

https://www.lrdirect.com/egp100340lum-clip-retainr-su I know shipping makes it rough, but if you waited to make an order when you also need something else it’s more tolerable. Or, $20 for 2 shipping included isn’t horrible. https://www.amazon.com/Land-Rover-DISCOVERY-RETAINER-EGP100340LUM

Geez, I paid just a few bucks.

If it was Texas I’d be tempted.

Visor clips are available new from the usual vendors and not expensive last time I checked.

Which Arlington?

I kind of see the point of stretch bolts for head bolts but for connecting rods I just don’t get it. They don’t use stretch bolts for the main bearing caps. My old 3.5 engines don’t use stretch bolts on the connecting rods. On factory camshafts, I do think they wear relatively quickly compared...

“New standard bearings on the way...” To make extra sure, look at the back of the old bearing shells for “STD” to confirm. Unless the engine was previously rebuilt and needed the crankshaft reground, STD is what should be there, Otherwise, it would be .010, .020 and in less common rebuilds...
