All, I want to source a high quality OEM+ spring/shock combination for a '96 D1 which sees offroad use, but requires extensive highway driving on trips. Think Camel Trophy truck ride height as a good approximation. The truck will carry a front ARB/winch combination (synthetic line), a rear...

The windshield trim on my D1 is getting a bit tired. I know these finishers are typically replaced during install of a windshield, but can they be replaced while leaving the windshield installed? The A pillar finishers are in the worst condition of all the moldings.

What is everyone using to pull and identify part numbers (in my case Discovery 1)? I usually have to hunt a variety of websites and then google to confirm before placing orders. Even then, I occasionally end up with incorrect parts. I also have a BMW and have found REALOEM to be indispensable...

Folks, Help me identify the worn out paint color on my 1996 Land Rover Discovery! Right now I suspect either Epsom Green Metallic or Avalon Blue Metallic. Is there a paint code somewhere on the body that I can find to confirm?

Does anyone already own the Land Rover tool (lrt-41-012) for seating/installing output shaft seals on the LT230? I'd rather not pay over $100 for a tool I'll use once. I would be willing to pay for shipping both ways and even a fee for use.

The RAVE says to lubricate the seal lip, but does not specify the ID or the OD... has anyone had success doing one or the other?

In the middle of a rear main seal and cruiciform seals replacement and the rear main bearing cap will not come off ('96 D1). The rear main seal is out already. On step 3 in the RAVE, with both bolts (marked number ten) are out. I've tried gently prying with extensions in the main bearing cap...

I am about to have my flywheel resurfaced by a local shop. Does anyone know the serviceable thickness requirements? I have been pouring through the RAVE and it makes no mention of flatness requirements or minimum thickness.

All, In the process of removing my 96 D1's transmission for a clutch job and while I am there I will be addressing a large oil leak from the rear engine. I heavily suspect the rear main seal, but am prepping for cruciform seals as well. The description in the RAVE is very short and frankly not...

Has anyone successfully transplanted a SRS module from one D1 to another? Are they VIN locked/do they require additional programming? Trying to avoid a visit to a dealer or third party shop to have the SRS light diagnosed further. Especially when the module is so accessible under the center console.

Hey guys, About to pull a transfer case out of my parts truck to swap into my driver D1. The driver has some gear whine and backlash issues (fairly worn) while the parts truck case has about 50k miles less on it. While I have it out on the bench what would you guys suggest touching? A full DIY...

Save yourself some the shipping from Great Britain or the mark up from the US vendors and buy these two extra flanges that I no longer need. Neither has been opened and they are just sitting in my garage collecting dust. List price from Bearmach for the pair is ~$50 plus shipping. I'll let them...

As the title says I have a potentially cracked block, which I hope to be verifying soon via the motorcarsltd tester kit (assuming they still rent them). Assuming it is the worst case and a head gasket job won't suffice... Which of the following would you do? Recommendations on vendors would also...

All, Is there a reputable company located in the US who provides quality refurbished LT230s? I'm familiar with Ashcroft, but would prefer not to pay the shipping from England and forfeit a core charge. Anyone have experience with a specific vendor and was happy with the results? Thanks.

All, 1996 D1 5spd - I have two issues which, according to my read of the electrical diagram for NAS Manual trucks, are most likely related. My cruise control is not working and neither is my speedometer. It is important to note that my odometer is functioning correctly. While troubleshooting...

All, My speedometer functions approximately once every 10 drives and when it does work springs into action once in double digit speeds. When this occurs the speedometer works until the vehicle is turned off and then generally fails to function on the next drive, regardless of time between...

All, I had the headliner out of my D1 to repair the sunroof drains and noticed a strange leak coming from a seam directly below the safari window and the rear quarter panel on the RH side. Normally I would suspect a failed safari window seal, however I was able to eliminate this using a garden...

All, I have an interesting question for you today. My 1996 D1 (5spd) is currently experiencing an issue where my tach does not work at all. At idle, in gear, I do not see any movement regardless. However, when I turn the light stalk to parking lights the needle jumps to just below 1000 RPM and...
