Yes, some sort of aluminum foil. Only about an inch is open so I don't think I'm gonna fret about it too much. I guess I know where to look first if it starts reporting an O2 circuit problem. :banghead: I bought some liquid tape to make it easier to seal up the lambda sensor wiring, and...

Found the problem with a little further examination. The biggest clue was the grommet pulled out of the firewall. As a result the wiring harness was rubbing on the metal of the firewall and the ground wire from injectors 1 and 4 had been cut right through. In addition, one of the O2 sensor...

Lots of good observations here about lifts, but to answer your original question, I put 255/85R16 BFG mud terrains on my 99 D2. It had 2" toddco spacers at the time. The only thing I had to do was trim the inner wheelwell lip in front of the rear wheel, inside the passenger door. (not the door...

Gents, I did a search and couldn't find anything that answered my question, so here goes... I came into possession of a 99 D2, running but stumbling badly, so it was a pretty good deal. It idled with a slight miss, and when revved the miss was quite obvious. The heads were redone, along with...

Thats exactly the kind of info I was hoping to get. Thanks PT! Looks like I'm better to shop for another unit from the wreckers... thanks, Dave

I just blew the high range from the transfer case in my 99 D2 and hobbled almost all the way home at 25 mph in low range. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether an 88 Range Rover L230 will bolt in or are there differences to output shafts, etc. I just happen to have a good used 1988 transfer...

I agree Motion X is great, however I've been disappointed on several trips when I went beyond cell range and it could no longer download and cache maps. So I've changed to Gaia GPS, which has the option of either downloading and caching as you progress, or pre-downloading and saving the maps in...

Ellensburg, Washington July 27-30, 2011 http://www.overlandrally.com/Overland_Rallies_and_Workshops/Northwest.html Registrations opened a few weeks ago. This is not Rovers only, however, it looks like its gonna have lots of Land Rovers and is put on by our friends at Overland Journal and...

Several have mentioned it, but worth further attention... tire pressure. I've seen it so many times I just walk away and shake my head now when someone with a well equipped truck doesn't bother to air down and messes up an otherwise very doable challenge, whether rocks, hill climb, sand, snow...

thanks. Dave

I'm replacing the steering box in my 88 Range Rover. I've got a box I took out of a 96 Discovery which I dismantled last year. My question, is there supposed to be some sort of a bushing where the tie bar inserts into its bracket in the panhard rod? I recall noting when I pulled the box out of...

Hi Neil, this is my father-in-law's truck and it won't see any abuse -- at least not the kind you do! So a plain vanilla RRD or D1 box will fit the bill. PT, thanks for the tip on getting all the parts from the donor. I'll forward it to the mechanic doing the job. I usually do the work...

Thanks, Guys. Just the kind of info I was looking for. Dave

I have a 1988 RRC with an auto-box that died the other night. The transmission needs to be replaced. However, the shop I took it to couldn't find another same year/model truck at any wrecker yard in the area. I told him he could widen his scope to look at other years of Rangies as well as early...

Just a question about the toe in. You mention there seems to be some differences of opinion in this regard. What are those that disagree with factory spec changing theirs to? I recently had my 88 Range Rover aligned and felt afterwards that the steering was a bit skitterish. This was after a...

Good to hear you've got it running again!

If you leave the wheels on you need to have load range D tires on your creeper as well. ;)

Yes, start with the simple things! If you haven't replaced the Crank Position Sensor yet, this IS the simple thing. I once had several LR mechanics look at a similar situation on my truck. I ended up replacing the fuel pump, only to find out that it was the damned CkPS instead. Seems to me it...

Just wanted to say I appreciate this thread! I went out and took a close scrutiny of my bumper and fairlead and discovered a glob of galvanizing from the bumper which was protruding in such a way that it would certainly damage my MP rope if I hadn't noticed it. Thanks, showing this up for me...

I had plasma, never broke it, but a friend did, even with double pulls. I now have MP superline and put it through a ton of hard muddy pulls and it hasn't broken. It isn't the XD version, just plain 5/16 superline and never been a problem. It is on my series IIa 88" with an 8274, so not quite as...
