    Camel Trophy Discovery specs

    Well, not exactly the tech section I guess, but in the Dweb archives here: http://www.discoweb.org/martingeveke/cameldisco.htm Found off a google search.

    Camel Trophy Discovery specs

    Hey guys, I found the page in the tech section that lists the specs used on the majority of Camel Discoveries. One thing I am interested in is the 4WD system. Am I correct that the CT Discos had the tried and true LT230, perm 4X4 with a center locking Diff (CDL) with HI\LOW ratio locked...

    D1 - Removing flange behind E-Drum

    Excellent advice by all here. The job is done and was much easier with the comments, thanks. Some notes in addition to the others in this thread in case anyone else is doing this for the first time. The large nut holding th flange takes a 30mm socket. It came off with no impact, just a half...

    Best year for 4.6 Range Rover?

    skippy3k - I agree. I think the P38 is one of the most capable and luxurious vehicles you can get with solid axles in it's class. I can't compare driving this vehicle to any other. The platform feels rock solid and the driving characteristics are marvelous on road. When I am going out to...

    D1 - Removing flange behind E-Drum

    OK, thanks for the response. That large nut looks like it is 29mm, so I will need to go get a socket that size for my impact wrench. A large Cresent isn't doing the job as the nut is pretty deeply seated. The output shaft turns while I try to twist the nut off so that isn't helping much...

    D1 - Removing flange behind E-Drum

    Hello all, On one of my '96 Discos I have removed the rear prop shaft and the 4 nuts on the bolts that sit behind a flange that retains them through the e-brake drum. The problem is that these bolts are locked in place by the head of the bolt by design and those have all been rounded off. I...

    p38 vs disco1....my results

    Yeah, as a owner of a 2k P38 and 3 D1s, I can say that the TC on the RR is nice. However, I would rather not have a TC system that "kicks in" when I need it. I would rather wheel something that I can manually send power to both axles (albeit only one wheel per axle, with the least amt of...

    HaHa, yeah and a case of Old Milwaukee for those buyers over 21. ID checks will be enforced. Also a free "cross drilled brakes look" kit and plastic carbon fibre foot pedal covers .

    Is this the future of LandRover

    You got that right. I just drove a PT Cruiser in San Fran for a week and was disgusted. I also recently rented a Focus and an Avenger in my recent travels. I can't tell them apart when sitting in the cabin. Whiny underpowered engines, hard cheap plastic interiors, terrible visibility and...

    P38 susp. "aired down" after put on car lift

    So I just got some new tires put on my 2000 Range Rover at Sam's Club. After going through it with them about how careful to be about the size and torque they use to take off the lugnuts, it seems there is another caveat. I think I recall reading on this board or somewhere else that putting a...

    Rovers North News online

    Oh OK, well, I usually go with Atlantic British for my parts, so that must be why I don't get the paper copy anymore. I like to do all my shopping online, and RN's website is just not as easy to find things as AB's is.

    Trek

    I really have to say, I love look of this vehicle. While it won't perform offroad any better than my stock 2000 P38, I love to see an accessorized P38 like this one. It's especially cool that it is a Land Rover special Edition. I miss those.

    Block Heaters?????

    I bought the Model 16 (250 watts). It seems to be the best fit for the oil pan.

    Block Heaters?????

    There are a couple of theories on how a prestart heater is useful, and it depends on the application and the results you want. I spent a good deal of time on the phone with a AB rep regarding the Gen LR block heater last year when I was determining what to do. This is basically going to heat...

    Actually I thought Rovertracks was in Longmont. I could be wrong though.
