    Discovery-II Park Distance Control

    New in box, never installed. Retails for $570 at BPUtah.com. $150 or best offer. Fits '03-'04, might fit '99-'02 but would have to confirm. My wife bought me this and I'll never use it.

    '03 Disco....new engine...no oil pressure...

    If your wiring harness is ground faulting against the frame the idiot oil pressure light can light. I thought I had no oil pressure for months and pestered all the poor souls on this board until I had the truck at the dealer for a keyfob program and they found the harness resting against the...

    Premium w/10% ethanol or mid-grade ethanol free?

    Low octane will foul O2 sensors long term. Just sayin.

    land rover 04 disco engine

    $15K is a steal for an indestructible all-aluminum classic Landrover than gets 28MPG.

    FS: 5 Disco 2 18" wheels with 285/60/18 Nitto Terragrapplers A/T

    I run those myself. Terrific tires. Go through anything, jack the truck an inch, and not that much noise.

    P38

    All the P38's I drove felt super-glued on pogo-sticks. An 8-yr. lapse in the brand's otherwise unbroken stride towards immortality. Until Xenon and superchargers. Ugh.

    oil pump failures

    You are better off avoiding 2003 VIN's in the TSB range altogether instead of trying to intuit an exception to the casting defect; unless of course you can steal one for next to nothing and pop in a new Coscast block from RPI for $6K. Then you're indestructible.

    oil pump failures

    If the gears are not cracked on any '03 by 50K or so miles I would guess the dowels are fine and would not check them again. If they are cracked, replacing will not help; new ones will eventually crack too. Go Hokies is right! ('94)

    oil pump failures

    Oil pump failure is statistically likely on 2003 DII 4.6's within VIN range of the TSB. Although identical failures have been seen outside the VIN range, they aren't common. DII 4.6's within this VIN range should be avoided; that is the only "preemptive" measure. FWIW several on this board...

    Did extensive searching

    I'll try it. Can I get to it without a lift? I can put the truck up on ramps, that's about it here in garage.

    Did extensive searching

    Did extensive searching but nothing reveals this exact symptom: M & S lights flash / limp-home mode engaged ONLY if reverse is selected. If reverse is not selected lights will not flash and transmission operates normally. I have tested battery / alternator good. I have confirmed all terminals...

    04 D2 Oil Light

    My '04 w/119K has a slipped cam bearing too. Over 9K miles on it now since losing pressure and no worries. Even at 108-degrees in traffic this July it ran cool. You reach a zen with the oil light. I miss it now when it occasionally flickers out.

    I did a stupid thing-Now overheating

    Wytheville?? My parents and brother live there. I went to RRHS. Got an '04 D2 as well. Small world. Hope you get this sorted out!
