    A/C Expansion Valve and one other question

    Hi all, I have finished tearing apart my old dashboard to replace my A/C expansion valve. Breaking it down was much easier than I anticipated. I have two questions: 1) Do I need to shell-out the $180 for a genuine expansion valve from a place like Atlantic British, or do you guys have a...

    Make sure to bother Will on a Tuesday

    I spoke with Will on Tuesday about getting a dashboard and radio bezel for my D1. He had them to me wrapped more snugly than a newborn by Thursday. Not only was the shipping super fast and super secure, but he gave me such an incredible deal on the parts that I can't see how he's making any...

    WTB: D1 Dash and radio/center vent bezel

    Yup, as it says. Color of dash is unimportant as I am just going to Plasti Dip it. Let me know your price on a dash that is not trying to high-five the headliner and a radio/center vent bezel that is not cracked to pieces.

    General estimate for a clutch job?

    I am in need of a getting a new clutch on my 96 D1 5-spd. I was hoping to hold-out until mid-Spring when I could do the job myself, but I don't think I can last through the winter. Does anyone know the approximate cost I should be looking at to have a new clutch put in? Thanks!

    WTB: D1 Lower Fan Shroud

    Does anyone have a working lower fan shroud for a D1 on the cheap? I saw a couple complete shrouds (upper and lower) posted on Ebay for around $35 shipped, but figured I'd ask here first. Thanks!

    Sound like a clutch master cylinder?

    Hi all, I have been having some clutch issues with my 96 D1 5-spd. Sometimes when I depress the clutch it sticks to the floor and I have to lift it back up with my foot. It doesn't always happen, but it has been happening more often. Otherwise it shifts fine. I am new to hydrolic clutches...

    Replacing Shocks

    I know this will probably be considered a series of stupid questions, but... My front shocks are leaking. How difficult of a job is it for me to replace shocks on a DI? Is it something I can do in my back yard with some jack stands? I haven't gone outside to look at it myself yet because it...

    Hi all, So based on the responses to my other thread about a/c problems, it looks like I need to replace my a/c expansion valve. It looks to be a VERY big job (drain coolant, refrigerant, remove steering wheel, air bag, dash, heater core, etc.). Does anyone have any advice, shortcuts...

    Sun visor retaining clip and body panel clip

    I know these are small things and almost not worth asking about... I need a sun visor retaining clip and three of the clips in the picture below. They attach to the back of the interior alpine panel. I cannot locate the latter clips on Rovers North or Atlantic British. Thanks!

    Cruise control actuator arm

    Hi all, I am trying to sort-out the non-working cruise control on my 96 Disco. The first thing I found was that the arm (operating link) on the actuator is missing. I don't know if that is a separate piece or if it is part of the actuator itself. Please let me know what you have. Salud, Jon

    A/C Problems

    I have been searching through the forums and have not yet found an answer to my specific problems. If possible please advise. Last week my A/C was not blowing cold air. The compressor was powering on, however I did note that the button on the dash did not light up. So I took the Disco to a shop...
