2001 D2, 62k miles All was well until returning from a short drive, noticed the red light above temp gauge was on, and temp gauge was all the way down. Smelled coolant. At home, expansion tank was empty, noticed source of leak was the throttle body heater. I'm afraid there was no coolant...

I've reached the point where there is more Gorilla brand duct tape covering my plastic front bumper than there is front bumper to cover. A few years ago my wife was rear-ended by a pickup traveling at a pretty good clip, and I used that as an opportunity to replace the rear bumper with a heavy...

2001 Disco. Part location: Under hood behind coolant resevior / fuse box. It is mounted to firewall, is round, about 6" diameter, tapered, 8" long. 3 rubber mounts hold it to a frame. The rubber mounts are broken so this part (which I'm sure is very important) is just hanging there.with a...

Losing lugs left & right off my Firestone Destinations, and lots of weather cracking after 5 years. I see Goodyear redesigned the MTR's since I last looked at tires - anyone got anything good or bad to say about the new design? Any other tires I might want to look at that are new or redesigned...

Genuine Land Rover, p/n ANR4851. Brand new set of 20, still in individual factory sealed LR labeled baggies. $70 shipped to USA. Paypal preferred. Changed my mind on adding steelies. John F LV, NV '01 D2

Finished it up today, and glad it is finally done. Mine has a slight bow (upward in the middle) but it fit fine, so no need to bother Greg about an exchange. Like any other project, there are a number of things I would do differently the second time around (email me if you like if you are...

Ok, ready for the big step of trimming the fenders, and want to make sure I don't screw it up too badly, so a couple questions: 1) Tracing the line under the plastic trim pieces - can I assume there has to be a little square cut where the plastic piece for the screw sticks down below the line...

I'm not looking for the 'which', I'm looking for the 'why'. I've gotten by for many years with the fat rear end, occasionally skidding off the factory hitch... I've broken parts over the years, but never anything from the rear diff on back. So, I guess my biggest concern is - do I really need...

by a Chevy pickup while waiting at a stop light. She barely felt it, but looks like damage is bumper, right-rear pillar thing that the upper stop/brake lights sit in, and lenses. The Chevy took much the worst of it, believe me. So, this might be the right time for a Greg Davis (open to other...

Years ago I used the WalMart adapter and successfully wired my pop-up trailer lights. Hooked up the brake controller yesterday (had electric brakes installed on the trailer), had to 'T-splice' a wire from the controller to the cold side of the Disco brake switch. Checked with a meter, turned...

D2, recently bent track rod in a rock encounter. Replaced it with the beautiful RTE rod. Now, I don't PLAN on repeating the incident, but, if it happens again, it looks like the rod will no longer be the 'weak link'. Is there a chance that, due to the beefiness of the RTE rod and the much...

Replaced my bent track rod with the nice RTE one, brought the '01 in for an alignment. Kind of watched (of course, wouldn't let me in the shop, 'insurance' reasons) while it was aligned. Saw that toe was adjusted properly, within spec. However, now the steering wheel is off-kilter a bit when...

I should know this, and can't even locate in RAVE, but what is the long rod called (lowest in this picture) right behind the front diff? Took a large rock hit on the diff guard, D2 landed on the long horizontal rod, bending it upward over an inch. http://members.cox.net/barshnik/front.jpg I...

2001 D2 - I like to keep recirc on when driving long stretches of dirt / gravel to keep from breathing so much dust, even with 'econ' mode if cool enough outside. Camped at Toroweep (AZ grand canyon) which involved driving 100+ miles each way on dirt. Noticed (never happened before) that after...

2001 D2, OME HD, recently replaced worn (down to about 10/32's, lots of sidewall cuts) MTR's (255x70x16) with Firestone Destination 265x75x16's. Wasn't sure I'd like the larger tire size, finally got out to a mining road south of LV, loose shale, very steep, with a nasty off-camber turn. ETC...

Just a few thoughts, lets assume equal D2 2" lift, stock 16" rims, with different tire configurations. What am I missing? Trying to get a better idea what might be ideal for varying conditions rather than speciality stuff (oh, I know, 265x75's). Larger diameter (265x75x16 or larger) Pluses -...

My 255x70x16 GY MTR's are pretty torn up after 2 years of NV rock, granite, shale, etc. I've decided to go 265x75x16 (well, maybe 245x75 depending on comments for our driving conditions), but want the toughest sidewalls possible - that is where the MTR's are showing many cuts / chunks, although...

Ok, the supplied method of securing the disconnected bar only works on one side, right? Then it is velcro strap or other ways to keep the other side from flopping around. Bill from Kensington Motors in LV came up with a pretty 'slick' way to hold up both sides. He found quick-release pins at...

Have the '01 D2 at independant LR service shop for some work (trans service, install rear TT, SlickRock front sway disconnects) and asked to have GBR's greasable front driveshaft u-joint kit put in. Found that the needle bearings for the 'Hookes' joint were toast (rusty mess) - too many water...

Anyone using these? Any comments? I've removed the rear bar from my D2, but want to keep the front bar as we sometimes pull a small camper trailer on the highway - I tried it with front bar removed, but immediately put it back on as it felt less secure, especially on a windy day. Wife didn't...
