One of the biggest convenience drawbacks of these vehicles is the outdated tech and infotainment. Particularly the Nav screens on the HSE LR3’s. Came across a solution for CarPlay/Android Auto on a Facebook group and finally pulled the trigger myself. All in its $150 or so and am pleased with...
Wanted to get some insight on troubleshooting an EAS issue. Getting an intermittent yellow EAS light, which goes off after restarting vehicle and have not been able to recreate yet. The driver rear corner suspension dropping significantly. Essentially from standard to access within 2-3 hours...
Question regarding LR3 valve blocks - are the front (RVH500095) and rear (RVH500055) interchangeable? Finding conflicting information out there but also see these part numbers often both listed for the same part. If anyone has personal experience using front in rear or vice versa it’d be appreciated
Getting a P0171 and P0174 lean codes after a Seafoam intake treatment, repairing a crack in the intake resonator, and cleaning the MAF. Had no codes prior. I reset the adaptive values after this but the codes came back. Truck otherwise is running smooth (and peppier than before the above items...
To my chagrin I’m starting to look for a Disco 5. Given 90% of my driving is in town I’d have to go with the SCV6. Does this motor have some of the same issues with failing coolant crossover pipes like it did in the LR4? Any timing chain issues or other major issues to look out for with the SCV6...
Getting occasional quick puff of not very thick, white/gray smoke immediately on startup in my LR3. Sometimes it will go away for months, sometimes once or twice a week - this is one of those weeks. Runs smooth and fine before and after. No loss of oil or coolant. I occasionally get a P0420 -...
While replacing the dryer on my compressor and had broke this fitting on the compressor come apart when I tried to remove melted air hose. The broken piece is the ‘collar’ for the air hose release for the top hose on the side of the compressor facing the rear. Anyone know a part number for this...
Discovered some diff guards I forgot about that I need to part with. They?re for a P38, which has the fill plug is on the opposite side as shown in the photo. These could be easily fitted to any other Rover by doing a little cutting to provide access the conventional fill plug location. $60 +...
In considering removing the wheel arches on my D2 I thought it would look odd to leave the black plastic 'rub strip' (for door dings) on each door on. Removing these will kind of complete the clean look of no wheel arches also. Are these held on by double sided tape similar to the wheel arches...
It's about time for me to purchase my own shotgun after borrowing my father in law's Remington 1100 for the past year or so. Primary use will be sporting clays and likely dove hunts in the future. An autoloader seems to be the trick as a decent O/U is more than I'm wanting to spend. The 1100 has...
In pretty decent shape and includes new hardware. Make unknown. Got these a few months ago but have decided I want to go a different direction. $60 for both + shipping
A year or two ago I started getting the evap leak CEL for the fuel cap. Cleaned up ran fine for awhile and it's coming back again with more frequency. Tired of fooling with it. Are there any good non-OE replacements out there? If I'm gonna have this happen again I'd rather not spend $40 on a...
Anyone running this size on a D2? Seems like a narrow 32" option for the 18" wheel and there are many tire choices out there. Have searched here and Google without much information. Thinking this size might be a good option for my ~1" of lift
One of my factory auxiliary lights (the round 'Land Rover' lights with grille) on my brush bar was fogged up so I pulled things apart to investigate. The current housing is absolutely shot and rusted to hell. It appears to be a standard 7" light which fits inside the plastic 'Land Rover'...
It seems whenever you get a handle on a Rover something new pops up but I should know this by now. A little background on my Rover - 02' DII with 155k miles. I am running an inline 180 degree thermostat. Headgaskets done 30k ago. Expansion tank cap replaced a few months back. No signs of coolant...
Seems my battery is on it's way out. Wouldn't crank after sitting over Thanksgiving and now dropping down to about 10v when sitting overnight. Back up to 14v and all ancillaries work fine immediately after start. Anyhow, it's a Diehard Platinum which is sadly NLA. I'm assuming I'll get some sort...
I'll preface this by saying the fog lights have not worked since I bought my D2 over 2 years ago. I've been trying to address a list of small issues on the Disco such as this, rear wiper and seat heaters over the coming months. I replaced the bulbs today as something to simply check off the...
