They run on a little different kind of fuel, and a lot less electronics. :patriot:

I want to thank eveyone who responded to my desparate pleas. Both P.T. and P.M. had the best advice. Anywhere along the route from the battery to the fuel pump must be considered a failure point. How many of those points actually needed servicing, I'll never know, but I did each one in turn...

Thanks for the quick come back. I checked the fuel pump connector, no power there I will check the wiring harness connector first chance I get this weekend. Thanks for telling me its location.

I have a '96 Disco with no apparent power to the fuel pump. The truck was running well when I parked it. A day later it would not start. I have tracked the problem to the fuel pump not turning on. I have checked the following. - Fuel Pump (with 12VDC applied to it it works.) - Fuel Filter...

http://dvice.com/archives/2012/05/land-rover-when.php How many do you need for a round the world event?

Thanks to both Roving and Post for their fast and informative replies. I was overthinking the problem without actually looking at the construction. :o Yes I am reasonably good with electrical. Embarrassingly also good with mechanicals, when I take the time to really study the problem. A...

I have a '96 D1. About a week ago I was doing some work with some friends and running an Air Compressor from the cigar lighter socket. We would use it to fill up an air tank portable air tank and when it was depleted go back to the truck and rifll it from the compressor. When we were finished...

Jamie- I have had them on my D1 for about 10 years now, the drivers side is starting to look a little worn, but the pasengers side looks good as new. That said, they don't take to mud splatters too well, or spilled chees from a pasenger eating nachos while riding. The mud will wash out, the...

Check the fuel pump

You don't say what scale yopu want or what its for but... You can generate free Hydrogen by using Aluminum scraps in a lye solution. Make a collector out of an appropriately sized jar with a stopper and a tupe coming out of it. A lot of old Chemistry texts used to show this kind of thing. Be...

Jamie, My ARB might be slightly different from yours (D1 vs D2) but that looks like the grommet that goes around the hole where the snorkle passes through to the airbox. On mine a large silicone rubber hose passes through the fender to mate the snorkle to the airbox. The hose is secured at...

FWIW - I went out last evening to install the new mirror, and the entire process took no longer than 45-minutes. Now I just need to go down into town to drop off the old mirror at FedEx. Maybe tomorrow... I will also have to drive around a bit this evening, just to check if the mirror is...

X10 Plus the moment of a gas can (water, though fireproof is heavier than gas) on the rear door will probably screw up the hinges faster than putting a Hi-Lift back there.

Here is the latest on Magna Donnelly mirror replacement. A while back we had a real hot day. My '96 Disco was parked out in the pasture under the direct sun. When I went out to it, the windshield had cracked, and the mirror had a horizon line on it. After searching D-Web on the subject I...

So the gal is a little crazy... but don't you wish the next telemarketer that calls you would have to put up with a call like this at least once a day, FOR LIFE!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The number is on the "silver" plate next to the gas pedal. This placard is often in a highly polished state, (The paints been rubbed off) but the number may be readable. If I remember right the IIa's had a suffix "a" after the serial number. If the front horns (front bumper mounts) are...

I'm running a Cobra 75WX (radio in the handset), with a 4-foot firestick on the spare tire carrier. Over the range of the radio the SWR is tuned between 1.3 to 1.5 to 1. This is good enough for any mobile CB installation. Recently I had a conversation with a guy about 6 miles away. Both of...

Ed - Back in the '60s we used to build ENGINES, and there was even gas at the pumps with the required octane to run them. If I remember right SUNOCO sold some gas that was rated higher than AV gas. But even then putting a forced induction system on our favorite engine needed the "water"...

From Wikipedia From 1961 to 1963 Oldsmobile manufactured its own version of the Buick-designed, all-aluminum 215 engine for the F-85 compact, known as the Rockette. This was a compact, lightweight engine with a dry weight of only 350 lb (159 kg). The Oldsmobile engine was very similar to the...

Isn't 145.380 a little high for CB ??? :D
