Situation: RRC and hot environment (UAE - yesterdays temps 42C/108F and 80% humidity) . Have a question: How do you deal with the weak AC in the RRC? Did you make modifications on it? - The system is converted to R134a and honestly it sucks. I ensured that everthing is in working order but...

hey LR fellows, need some support from the electro wizards on the forum... The starter on my 1990 RRC is acting up from time to time. symptoms are from weak to hesitant starter turning to no starter movement at all (turn the key and only relais clicking can be heard). so far i checked and...

Don't say "why don't put them on a roof rack?" - because my answer would be, that we are talking dune driving here (UAE) and a low center of gravity is everything... Took part in a very exciting local trophy which picked up the spirit of the "Camel trophy". Was great fun, we covered about 210...

Anyone ever installed hood vents to let the hot air out of the engine compartment? How was the effect: good - bad - no difference? Would appreciate some picture of the same for some inspiration. Thanks

Lately my D1(96 Auto) developed a strange behavior. Sometimes it won't start. Starts when cold without issues but sometimes when I stop after a while driving and switch off the engine - e.g. at the gas station - it just won't restart. when I wait a while (ca. 30 min) the car just starts like...

Guys, I was wondering about something technical: In what temperature range is the coolant (supposed to be) when it leaves the engine block? In what temperature range is the coolant (supposed to be) leaves the radiator or enters the engine block?

Can the water pump in a Disco 1 loose its pumping capabilities partially? Or is it just hopp or topp with these ones. Means it works great or not. Why do I ask? Have the impression that the pumping performance is a bit down. I observed, that the little torrent/fontaine in the overflow canister...

I was wondering whether the OEM Roof rack with the removable cross bars is any good for light duty usage? Light duty usage means strap light but bulky camping gear (foldable chairs, tent, bbq) on it. But then it should be good for some heavy duty dune driving. Is it to enthusiastic to strap a...

Yesterday I cleaned my MAF (nessecary here in Dubai). Recognised a sort of calibration screw at the electronic unit of the MAF. Anyone ever tweak around at this? What happened? ...or is it just "stay away" ??
