    On Cold Starts, it pauses for half a second then starts

    I am a university student on break, and am trying to compile a list of maintenance things to do so it is ready for when I will be heavily commuting again, so anything I notice that seems a bit off I want to nip in the bud right now. On cold starts only, the engine begins to start, then almost...

    Removing Passenger Side Exhaust Manifold due to Stripped Bolt

    I have a stripped bolt on the manifold half of where the y pipe meets the exhaust manifold. It is a new bolt from a gasket kit from AB. My line of thinking (since the threaded bolt is only in the top half) is to take the exhaust manifold off, and remove the stripped bolt. It is the middle of the...

    Should I buy this Range Rover?

    Hello all, a recent opportunity came up and I am quite interested. A family friend of mine is selling an old Range Rover classic for a missionary who is trying to raise money for himself. The guy replaced a lot of it with Chevy parts, including a 6.2 Chevy Diesel engine, and a 4l80 transmission...

    Different codes every time I clear it, for same issue(?)

    So long story short, august I replaced ALL 02 sensors. Went off-roading, front one (upstream) had issues, finally fixed it. 750 miles later, downstream starts popping about 3 codes.. I do the same thing as upstream (clean it and the catalytic converter itself, which cleared 2/3 codes, the one...

    Bumpy Ride when accelerating and breaking

    Hello everyone, my 2004 discovery 2 V8 started experience mild bumpiness when decelerating yesterday while getting off the interstate. This symptom has only worsened in a day, turning into a noticeable bump to the acceleration (20ish to 40ish mph, and by bumpiness think of having a square for a...

    CAT DELETE 2004 DISCOVERY 2 V8 4.6L

    So, probably a stupid question, and I haven’t decided to do this , however if you somehow by chance were going to delete ur catalytic converters, how would you do it? Where no engine light is on, everything is dandy, how would you guys do it? Thanks.

    02 sensor help

    This is the new information for a check engine light that came on. About 500 miles prior, I had replaced the maf sensor, turned the light off, and then light didn’t come on related to that code. Wondering if they are related at all. I replaced the 02 sensors (all 4) about 5k miles ago, and have...

    3 Inch Lift kit help

    So, my passenger side rear tire blew out, and I’m now driving on 3 off-road tires and 1 spare (full size, original street tire). My Rover is stock suspension, and frankly I have been wanting to lift it for a long time, but was waiting for the life of these tires. They are 4 years old, and one...

    P1172 code

    I have a code for a P1172 (2004 Land Rover Discovery V8, 4.6L), the scanner says the most likely fix is the maf sensor. It’s this sole code, nothing else is popping up. MAF sensor is expensive, so wanted to make sure that’s the only thing I should check for with that specific code. My air filter...

    Discovery 2004 headlamp options

    I have a question regarding the options to replace my headlamps (2004 Discovery V8 4.6L). Both front headlamps are yellowed, fogged, and one has quite a bit of water sitting in it. I read about sanding it and sealing it, but am unsure about whether I should just replace them in total. If I go...

    Overflow hose Leak 2004 Discovery 2 V8 help

    This is a brand new (remanufactured) engine from Atlantic British (long block). Immediately when we got it, the classic tick that the original engine had was there. Very concerning to me. The tick is upper right (passenger side). I was told to drive it 500 miles to see any other issues. I...

    Bank 1 Sensor 1 Too lean (PO130, PO170)

    I went offroading the Saturday before last. I bottomed out in a mud pit, and the chassis dragged. I got stuck, and I turned the vehicle off while getting my winch ready. When I turned it on, engine light appeared. On the way home, rough idling 24/7. Got home, cleaned connector to bank 1, sensor...
