    Late defender 18” steel wheels fitted to my ‘13 LR4

    These are a direct bolt-on. The tpms sensors (315khz) were swapped over from the factory alloys. I like the look and access to more tire options.

    Cylinder head removal problems

    If you have the heads shaved you’ll need to confirm adequate lifter to rocker clearance. Crower lifters require.020-.060 clearance between the rocker arm and valve stem. I would surmise that any lifter also need said clearance. Adjustable or shorter pushrods might be called for.

    Oil pump pressure relief springs

    I wasn’t at my best. Probably in the .003 range. I counted coils and mic’d the thickness. Both were the same. I don’t have a pressure gauge to measure these though.

    Oil pump pressure relief springs

    Well, I never got any input which I expected anyway. I’m going to install the spacer I machined on the lathe to provide some spring tension on the plug but free flow oil.

    Oil pump pressure relief springs

    Referencing a later V8, I’m going through the timing cover/oil pump assembly. There is one pressure relief spring (bottom right facing the engine) that’s a no-brainer. It recirculates oil around the pump if pressure exceeds the factory spring. On the left hand side is another spring that by all...

    Will 2015 LR4 front seats fit 2013 LR4?

    Are 2015 LR4 front seats a direct replacement in a 2013 LR4?

    2013 water pump/throttle body to reservoir/radiator hose and tube assembly

    Thanks. I’ve seen those parts with every search from 2008-2016 both LR and Jag. I guess I’ll be converting over since my ‘13 lr4 apparently has the only hose/tube assembly made.

    2013 water pump/throttle body to reservoir/radiator hose and tube assembly

    Well, that makes me feel better knowing that LR can’t even identify, let alone supply, the parts for a 10 year old vehicle no matter where the part was sourced.

    2013 water pump/throttle body to reservoir/radiator hose and tube assembly

    I’ve been on the phone with a LR dealer this morning. According to my VIN the part number is LR013687. However, that is not correct. The parts guy now says it appears the hose/pipe assembly I need is in a larger package of hoses as a group. He can’t confirm until Monday morning. I’ve looked...

    2013 water pump/throttle body to reservoir/radiator hose and tube assembly

    I’m looking for the part number of this hose and tube assembly. It is V’d at both ends. The water pump end has that 90 degree connector that pushes into the water pump housing and the other to the outlet for throttle body heating. The other end goes to the reservoir and the radiator through...

    d1 in Georgia for sale by Patrick Fred Williams

    Anyone know this truck? It’s a long drive to be disappointed. 1999 D1 SD (with sunroofs sadly). Looking for a project for my grandkid but don’t want a heap.

    SAI removal 02 D2

    I’m intent on removing the SAI on my 02 D2. A non-SAI truck was stripped on the engine harness, fuel pump harness, fuel pump, vent canister assembly, gauge cluster, bcu and ecu. Swapping all of these in are no issue. What had me questioning the conversion is the the difference in wiring. The...

    XYZ switch or Crank Position Sensor?

    a bad battery can cause these issues. Start with the simple. Check charging system and battery before chasing other potential problems.

    Does an '02 have a locking T-case?

    Easy enough to swap in a locking front housing. I used an earlier unit without the forward facing switch to tell the slabs it is in difflock. I wired a switch at the dash for that purpose. Works fine. Just be sure to make enough clearance for the shifter throw if you use the early assembly. The...

    New noise with new rear axle

    Without the spacer the pinion bearings aren't properly loaded. The pinion was likely walking away from the ring. The load would be concentrated on the tips of the ring gear. The excess load would cause this damage.

    Hand brake disc conversion worth it?

    I get the idea of changing for the sake alone or to say looky what I've got. Short of the shoes getting contaminated the factory parking brake works fine. Unless you're setting that brake and driving off there is no wear. In 27 years I've never had an issue with the stock setup. In extreme cases...

    Brakes locking up -98 Discovery 1 - Help!

    I don't discount that people have problems with Britparts. I'm simply stating that I haven't experienced these problems. That said, I do try to avoid the LR parts and their high prices. I try to find a good deal without buying junk. Compromise where I can and spendy where I have to.

    Brakes locking up -98 Discovery 1 - Help!

    I hear complaints about britpart but have never had a failure in over 25 years and dozens of trucks. Maybe I just got lucky. Try unplugging the abs module and see if the problem persist. Ignore the dash lights while doing this. The only recourse is to follow logical troubleshooting. By the way...
