    oil pressure gauge

    Getting closer to being able to install an oil pressure gauge. Couldn't find a 1/2" 20 UNF banjo bolt but I had a 12 mm x 1.25 banjo bolt and the local hardware store had 1/2" 20 UNF nuts and bolts.

    body lift?

    Body mount rust repair and rubber donut replacement have made it on to the to do list. Any reason I shouldn't add 1/2" ( half of an inch) of body lift while I'm at it?

    Oil cooler return line thread

    Does anyone know for certain what thread this is? 4.0 L V8. You can save me from lying in the snow getting covered in oil.

    4HP22/24

    Liking the idea of the 24's larger torque converter behind a 4.6, has anyone done the conversion of a 4HP22 to a 24 front end? The Ashcroft web site quotes a 15mm difference in length. Is this accomodated by moving the engine forward? (Can't help thinking this would make it easier to lift heads...

    exhaust leak(s)

    So I've had an exhaust leak that I've been trying to pinpoint. Started off minor but has gotten worse over the last 1K miles. Thought it might be the DS manifold to Y pipe gasket but replaced that and no joy. Put muffler cement on the O2 sensor bung to hold things until Clay gets us headers...

    A litany of leaks and motor musing

    I've been thinking lately how happy I am with this Discovery 1 (never do that!) but have been hearing something like an exhaust leak - only when cold ie. having sat overnight, and under a bit of load like out of a corner - so I went poking around to figure out what I'd need to do to take care of...

    accessory drive pulley

    Is there an accessory drive pulley that can be fitted to the crank pulley on a D1? V-belt or serpentine would be fine. Part no.? Thanks,

    Radiator fail

    Last summer I installed an aluminum radiator - a CoolingSky 70mm 4 row core. 1500 miles later I noticed a drip of coolant driver's side. Not much so the source was less than obvious but I did eventually find a crack in the core header. And shortly after that it stopped leaking altogether and I...

    flaky fan

    '97 D1 The blower fan has gone manic on me. Shuts off, changes speed at will. No new noises and the fan speed control appears to work normally. Ideas? At 25+ years old I should probably consider replacing the blower motor anyway. Is there a commonly available substitute for the original?

    radio mounting options

    I'm curious what mounting options others have figured out for their radios. Ultimately I'd like to have two radios installed - a vhf/uhf and a 10/11 metre rig. I've been experimenting with this position and, so far, it's less intrusive than I'd have thought. But I want one more radio on board...

    G3/8 fitting

    I need fittings to adapt the G3/8 female on a replacement radiator to the car's cooler lines. Does anyone have a source for these? or even the correct name of the adapter I need to make searching more efficient.

    D1 condensor fan and MAF sensor

    Has anyone got an alternative to the $$$$$ condenser fan? I have one dead one. I rarely (never ?) use AC but want to fix this without mortgaging a kidney. Second is the MAF sensor. Looking for a part number. A while back I had a pending P1178 code and researched the MAF sensor. I'm sure I...
