    94 D1 Parts Truck for sale complete

    I'm sick of wavering on what to do with this truck. For five years, it's been "do I fix it?" "do I part it?" "do I sell it whole..." all in a cycle. I've tried, and pretty much failed, at parting it myself. Basic truth is, it's a 94 D1, it's been in the family for 16 years, and it's pretty much...

    ABS-related warning lights - brake pads or something else?

    For a little while now, I've been getting various lights on my 93 LWB which I think are all related to my braking system. Notably, the ABS/Traction Control lights frequently turn on when moving, even after they're supposed to turn off after starting a journey, and the parking brake light comes...

    Parting '94 D1

    Breaking continues on my '94 D1. Coniston Green, 178XXX miles, tan leather interior. Only one owner (well, various members of my immediate family), very good, well-cared-for condition until roof caved in by tree branch in 2005. It has been sitting since then, but it is in good condition still...

    Disposing of Airbags

    I'm finally getting around to a nice weekend of Rover Wrenching...finally putting the new upper tailgate on the RRC, and pulling a lot of parts from the D1 to sell. One thing I'm thinking...the one part I do NOT want to sell is the airbags from the D1. They're 15 years old, and I just don't...

    RRC Upper Tailgate

    My tailgate is rusted to the point where I can use it as an extension of the rear windscreen for looking out the back. I think it's time for a new one. Thought about an aluminium one, but they're kind of pricey. 93 LWB. Would prefer one with the central locking and brake light set up, but open...

    Parting 94 D1

    NOTE: This vehicle is also listed in the Vehicles section. I'm offering it whole or as individual parts, contingent on how either one goes. 1994 D1. One owner. 180k. Hit by tree limb Oct 2005, sat in driveway for 3.5 years. Well maintained, though stagnant for a while. New Bilstein shocks (two...

    Brake-related Christmas Tree 93 LWB

    So for the past few months, my 93 LWB has had an issue with the brake-related warning lights. ABS, traction control normally do not turn off after rolling. Sometimes, parking brake stays on as well, even if it's down and released. Occasionally, on heavy braking, the brake pad wear light dims and...

    94 D1 - For Parts

    NOTE: This vehicle is for sale complete, but is also being offered for individual parts. See the parts sales forum (figured it was better to list them separate). Sale of parts is contingent on sale of whole vehicle, and vice versa. I will update this thread with any removed parts for...

    CB Antenna mounts - RRC

    Trying to figure out a good place to mount a Firestik II CB antenna on the RRC. Unlike the Disco "standard" spare tyre location, there doesn't seem to be any super-popular RRC mounting location. Did a search, but couldn't find anything RRC specific. Here's what I'm considering so far: -Front...

    Bluetooth headsets...

    We have a couple threads on this, but they're 1+ years old, and I know this field changes a lot. Long story short, I got a new Blackberry and my wired headset (which I got a week before) doesn't work with it. For some reason, they put a headphone-type plug in the BBerry (probably for "media...

    Tailgate replacements

    Mine is rusted to the point of "tail" and "gate." I fear my rear windscreen is going to come crashing into the street any day now. It's time to plunk down ~$400 to fix this baby. I don't really want to go with an original part again, i.e. a used screen. I'm planning on keeping this truck for...

    93 RRC Remote

    I don't have one right now, and I'd like one for the convenience factor and the ability to arm the alarm. The only ones I can find, though are on eBay for $100 - and well used. Is there anyplace to buy them new? Also, from what it seems, the remotes for the RRC is identical (cosmetically) to...

    LRX Concept

    The lastest...perhaps the precursor to the "mini-Rover" we've been hearing about for years. http://www.leftlanenews.com/land-rover-lrx-concept.html My God.

    Defender SVX/60th Anniversary Edition

    Just read about this...apparently this is the 60th anniversary vehicle for LR. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/23/land-rover-defender-svx-unveiled-in-britain/ Seems to basically be the SVX concept of a few years ago, with a 60 on the side and the bonnet. Not sure if I like it, but we won't...

    What to save?

    Deciding to break down the Disco, since it's totalled and not worth repair. I want to save the engine, transmission and xfer case, though, to use in the future either in the RRC or to swap into a Series. Does anyone know what valuable ancillary parts I need to save other than the block for it...

    FS: RRC LWB Running Boards

    Pulled these off my 93 LWB. In pretty good shape. The rubber trim around the edge is coming off at the ends, but it pops back on in "dovetail" style. I can't figure out how to do it, but I'm not good at that kind of thing. Otherwise, generally nice. Some general dirt, etc. from 126,000 miles...

    Upper Tailgates

    So today I go to close my upper tailgate, and the rubber gasket thing falls off the bottom. I look at it, and apparently all that's holding it on is rust. I think it's time to splurge on a replacement, before I end up with an "upper" and a "tailgate." Thing is, around here, I don't really want...

    Runaway Rover

    So this morning, I'm heading down to the Best Buy to pick up the brand-new Traveling Wilburys CD collection. I go to the bank to get some money, and then head down to the mall (yich). As I'm pulling into the carpark, I notice that my brakes aren't doing anything. And the Rangie keeps...
