    Replacing lower steering shaft universal joint.

    The lower steering shaft universal joint on my disco 94 is stripped and needs replacing. Does anyone have any experience doing this job? After a bit of tinkering, there does not seem to be enough play in the system to allow me to release the shaft to replace the lower joint. RAVE says I need...

I figure I should check the relay but I am not sure which one it is. The attached picture is the set of relays in the passenger footwell, my understanding is...

    Rear wheel bearings

    After searching, my symptoms point to my need to replace rear drivers side wheel bearings. The wheel locked up, so I assume some damage was done. I found some good descriptions of the process of changing the front bearings, but not much for the rear. I assume the process is similar? Or does...

    Blew fuel pump fuse.... what, me worry?

    Driving home today, my truck suddenly died. I figured that was goodbye fuel pump, but it was the fuel pump fuse that blew. I replaced it and I seem good to go. But I am thinking fuses don't blow for no reason, so I am trying to figure what to even check. Last night it snowed, was windy and...

    Steering box woes.

    I can?t locate the exact source of the leak (need an assistant), but it is minor dripping until I turn the wheel to the extreme, then it gushes out (judging by the mess). My solution so far is to top up the ps reservoir and avoid parallel parking, but am I endangering myself by continuing...

    A sex scandal? Say it ain't so!

    This story has been bubbling under for a while now, but it looks like it could be getting a little more play: I guess it was only a matter of time before a sex scandal got added to the list of scandals. Grab the popcorn - watching pious, family values, christian types get busted banging...

    Documenting service and maintenance.

    For those of you who work on your trucks, I was wondering how everyone documents the maintenance. I just write the mileage, date and what I did on a blank page in the manual, but it is getting pretty messy. Anyone use software for this?

    Identify this Series truck?

    Everyday for the last 2 or so years I drive past this truck semi-abandoned in a field down the road. Finally I got a camera and took some pics, can anyone identify what year, model etc? Series II something, maybe? Would this have a number somewhere similar to a VIN?

    Low gas = low temp??

    I have noticed the last few time that the tank has got low with low fuel light on for a while, that my temp gauge read noticeably lower. I fill up and when I drive off, "normal" temp again. WTF? Maybe I am driving easier and the extra cold temps play a role? I never noticed this before.
