    driver's door lock actuator? or spring?

    Driver's side front door lock appears to be dead. No movement whatsoever when using the fob. All other locks operate as intended. Using a key will lock and unlock the door and the other doors follow. Is this a 'change the little spring in the mechanism" issue (I already have the springs), or a...

    Cats stolen on the streets of NYC

    In three minutes, masked men pulled up in a BMW without license plates, jacked my 2001 RR and cut out the cats clean. This is getting ridiculous. Full video taken by surveillance cams. They didn't care one bit. Insurance only pays 25% of cost due to mileage (155k)...

    tin encapsulating the rear frame?

    I stumbled upon this restoration video and noticed that as he was removing the rear frame, he had to remove what looked like a tin cover from the stubs of the existing frame. What is this? (start video at 4:05)

    D1 front bumper

    Years of city parking have left my front bumper a bit mangled. Anyone have a relatively clean, stock front bumper for a D1 within driving distance of NYC? Doesn't need to be perfect, just not ratty. For clarity, just the metal bumper. the plastic bits are fine.

    Bad experience at "Rover Specialist" - Vinnie Tarrone - Garfield, NJ

    My starter motor decided to break on Thanksgiving while we visited family in NJ. I live in NYC and as you can imagine, I have no place to park a disabled car. I would have done the job myself otherwise. Emergency repairs are big pain for city dwellers. No shade trees available to jobs which...

    don't be a cheap fool....a cautionary tale

    I 'earned' my 'Dweb Cheapfuck' card this weekend. After 20 years the handle on my hood cable broke. It is not one of those parts that effects how the truck drives/operates so I jump online and find the best 'bargain'. The part shows up in the mail and it is labeled as a Britpart...

    air in cooling system

    What is the possibility of drawing in air into the cooling assuming the head gasket is not blown. I just had the radiator re-cored and head gasket leak down test indicated no gasket failure (according to the shop, but will perform another test myself to verify). I'm hearing an abundance of...

    BaT 1998

    Not sure how the lower front fog lights have not been ripped off if this thing has truly been on the trail. 5k (as of 7/27) for a 1998 that has yet to be demonstrated to be rust free? Maybe Discos are on the rise. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-land-rover-discovery-2/

    How bad is my radiator

    My truck builds heat at idle with the A/C on. The temp steadily rises to 210 at which point I lose my nerve and open the windows. Any engine speed above 1200 RPM resolves the situation and temps fall back below 200. Electric condenser fans run normally with A/C on (though frankly I'm not sure...

    Swivel ball re-fresh

    After inspecting leaking grease I have discovered the leak is probably caused by the pitting on my swivel ball(s). I have read through many threads about how to do it and what I need but many are fairly old. My question today is what is the best source? ...and... teflon coated or chrome?

    IACV - new, used, cheap, expensive?

    My IACV is getting flakey. Have cleaned twice and is now spotless. Still have intermittent no idle problem. Runs great otherwise. What is the 'value proposition' with these? Ebay has 'em from $10 and up. Looks like it might be a Jeep part as well. Can order from the UK for $35 - 360 as well as...
