I have the head from Series II at a well reputed local engine shop. They do fabulous work on a lot of stuff, but have not worked on a 2.25 Rover head before (go figure...). At any rate, I took the head in to get it checked since I had water in my oil come to find out, one of the casting plugs...

I am looking for a little more oomph out of my brakes and I am wondering if the Series power booster will fit under my standard hood, or if it only fits under the deluxe hood? I did a search and have looked at pictures, but I haven't come across a picture of a Series with power brakes with the...

I see a few Rovers around Idaho Falls, but mostly LR3s and newer DIIs. Just wondering if anyone knows of a Rover club in the area. I am afraid most of the owners are just looking for a status symbol. I drive my Series all over town and most of the other Rover drivers don't even give it a...

I was just cleaning some pictures off my camera and came across this one. This is sitting just above 8000 ft on a ridge in central Idaho. We're always talking about problems they have, here's one doing it's thing. To get to this point there was a lot of deep ruts and rocks and I was really...

I have posted this question before but no real answers... I really want to convert my 87 Range Rover to manual windows. I am trying to eliminate as many non-essential systems as possible, mainly because it is getting very difficult to get parts. I know Range Rovers have been made with manual...

I just came across a GREAT deal on a Koenig PTO winch.... FREE!!! Only catch, I don't have a PTO adapter that fits the Series or any of my old Jeeps. I have taken a look on Ebay, but nothing up right now. I actually saw one on Ebay a few weeks ago, before I had the winch... if only I was...

I have a 4.0 liter from a DII. It is complete with the exception of the starter and a couple misc. sensors. I bought it to replace the 176k motor in my wife's disco but have since sold the Disco. I paid way too much... but now the wife wants it out of the garage (I would keep it as a spare for...

I have been contemplating putting Megasquirt in my 87 RRC. The old Lucas EFI is not working so well anymore, and I am looking for a way to squeeze a little more performance out of the old girl. I have looked into the megasquirt quite a bit and I really like the sound of it, but I would really...

I recently purchased a 1960 Series II. I have a couple of electrical system questions... I know the truck was originally positive ground. When I purchased it, the battery was hooked up in the conventional manner (neg. ground). I drove the truck, and it wasn't running really smooth, but I...

So my '97 just threw a P1193, which is of course and O2 problem, specifically a downstream O2 problem. I replaced the upstreams a few months ago, so I figure no big deal, the downstream sensors have gone bad. I change the right side first, everything looks fine. I pull out the left side, and...

As many of you know, I have a very rusted and rotted out Series III. I have now found a Series IIA with most of the parts I need to make my III whole again. It looks like, aside from the bulkhead, most of the major parts will interchange. I even understand that the frame will work, with some...

A couple of questions. I have noticed that most of the hubs for the Series are pretty pricey. The Warns are probably the best, but I typically see sets in the $150-$200 range, most being closer to the $200 mark. What I am wondering, are there hubs for any other application that will work on...

I have found a Series IIA with a decent frame. It was a parts pig for another build. The body is all there, but the drivetrain is gone. My III has a seriously rusted frame, and this IIA frame looks pretty good. It has a couple of outriggers that will need to be replaced, and the front horns...

It is looking more and more like I am going to keep the rotted out Series I got on eBay. I have been looking the body over, and for the most part, it is not too bad (at least the aluminum parts), but there are a few holes where the Al was in contact with rusted steel parts. I will TIG patch...

Well, it looks like I will be keeping the Series III I got on eBay, at least for a while (see diesel cold start button post). The seller is not responding to the citation that was sent to him by the state, so I am guessing that he does not want to give my money back. This is my first Series, I...

I recently acquired a RHD Series III diesel. My question pertains to the cold start button on dash, just below and to the right of the steering wheel. Is this button for heating the glow plugs? I can see no key position or anything else that would be used as a glow plug switch. I assume this...

Some of you may recall from the old board, I was having som fuel pressure issues on my '97. I have gotten repeated O2 and knock sensor errors. Now the problem mainly surfaces once the tank is below 1/2 tank. I have had lean conditions and rich conditions within one day of each other. My...
