My latest project is an electric oil pump for pre-pressurizing the engine to ~15psi or more prior to cranking the engine. Bonus function is to have it kick in to boost flow (ergo pressure) at low RPM. I am thinking of something like this: [...

Have any of you installed the D2 double-cardan front propshaft (aka: driveshaft, for the search engine) into a D1? I am replacing the front shaft and I picked up a new double-cardan for cheap.. I figured with the ~2" lift and the ~32" tires it might smooth the front end out a smidge. I know...

This is the next project for our 95 D1: New headlights. I have limited facilities and am pretty much inventing as I go..so it's a slow slog. DOT hella H4's .. the old school euro ones with metal (e.g.: hard chrome) reflectors which can be easily chromed if they get nastied up. The trick is, I...

Some time in the last couple days my charging system stopped...charging. Everything else is working, starter, ignition, lights. etc.. Indeed, per Lucas POD SOP, NO warning lights have illuminated to indicate a battery/charge problem at all :p The only tell when the tach and speedo started...

I just saw this manual R380 **NO SUNROOF** ~semi-beater '95 D1 on fakebook marketplace and figured I'd drop it in here (zero relation to owner) It's too bad they didn't replace the window gasket! With no sunroofs and a good gasket there is very little to leakage to rot the pans :-/ In any case...

I stumbled across this nice little hack and thought I'd drop it in here for posterity: (http://www.v8wizard.com/alarm-spider.php) You mention bypassing the Discovery Alarm Spider, how do I do this? Between 1994 and 1999 Discoveries where fitted with an Alarm spider, nicknamed as it was a small...

For any of you who've actually used these disks, can you speak to their ability to clear mud and generally to any other attributes (balance, durability, wear, etc)? These appear to be stock rotors that have been cut; the waves are not cut symmetrically with the cast-in webbing... which makes me...

I recently converted my 1995 NAS Discovery 1 [14CUX, but that is irrelevant here) from the original belt-driven power steering pump to the Stellanis [aka: mopar] electrically driven pump. I am posting here because I posted over in landroverforums and really want to get the word out to any D1...
