    I?m stumped.

    All: ?95 Discovery engine & auto trans in my Defender 90. Started running ?weak?, had to keep flooring it to keep up with traffic. Got steadily worse until I had to floor it in 3rd to go down hill. Ended up at 30mph on the freeway under full throttle. Pulled over & clouds of steam everywhere...

    '95 won't start. Won't even try...

    All: Swapped the auto transmission in my '95 because the old one was bad. Now the starter won't engage. Truck in Park, foot on brake, turn key, dash lights up like a christmas tree, no start. Not even a click. Fuel pump buzzes, battery seems fine (was on a charger). Any ideas? Thanks, Paul.

    Got the transmission out- now have questions...

    All: '95 V8 auto. Would only go in reverse, no drive in any forward gears. Did some research, which said transmission is likely shot. Bought a used one. Removed the transfer case & noticed that the Hi/Lo shifter linkage was broken off. Cannot get it to shift out of high range, despite tapping...

    Auto transmission swap?

    All: Where's the best place to get a how-to on replacing a D1 automatic transmission? I have a '95 D1 that only goes backwards. From all the research I've done, the transmission is probably toast- so I bought a used one. I got a couple of estimates on the swap, and they were about $1k. I'm...

    D1 & D2 back doors the same?

    All: Are D1 & D2 rear (cargo) doors interchangeable? The back door on one of my D1's is in need of repair, but if a D2 door will fit, I'll just go that route. Thanks, Paul.

    Will a D1 hood fit inside a D1?

    All: I've managed to find a used D1 hood, will it fit in the back to bring it home? Do I have to take the rear seats out? Taking the old one off when we get there, swapping them out & cutting the old one up isn't n option... Thanks in advance Paul.

    D1 ignition questions...

    All: What is the name and/or part number for the piece of the ignition that senses if the key is in or not? The '95 that I'm restoring for my nephew has a parasitic battery drain. The shop (non LR but there isn't one within hundreds of miles of here) just called & said the problem is that it...

    RRC Questions...

    All: What years of RRC will the V8 engine & auto transmission from a '95 Discovery 1 fit? I have an '85 Ninety (Defender) station wagon that's going to get an LS swap. That will leave me with a great running V8 & trans that I'd like to put into a RRC. The aforementioned engine runs great, but...

    Wheel colour question

    All: Recently added a Plymouth Blue D1 to the fleet. I've never seen rims this colour before. Bit hard to see in the photo, but they're a lighter shade of gunmetal grey. Quite different to the normal silver. Any idea what the paint code is? I've only ever heard of them once before- someone...

    '95 D1- reverse only...

    All: I've seen a couple of D1's FS on Craigslist that will only go in reverse. Have you successfully fixed this? If so, how? Thanks, Paul.

    Rear door latch spring part number?

    All: There's a write-up in the December issue of 'Land Rover Owner International that describes how to fix the common rear door issue whereby the latch only works if the key is inserted & turned to hold the plunger in the 'up' position. Problem is, they didn't give a part number for the spring...

    Front light question

    All: The little orange lights in the front quarter bumperettes don't come on whatever I do- headlights on, turn signals, or hazards. Replaced the bulbs but no dice on either one. Are they supposed to work as turn signals? The other turn signals (on the fender & front corner) work. What are they...

    All: I'm ISO the base from a D1 Automatic shifter, that sits on top of the console & had the shifter sticking up out of it. It's the part with PRND321 on it. Plus shipping to Oregon 97850. Thanks, Paul.

    '95 D1 auto trans service?

    All: Where's the best place to find step-by-step instructions on how to service an automatic transmission on my '95 D1? I searched here- found a lot about the DII but nothing on the D1. YouTube wasn't much help either. Thanks, Paul.

    Coolant leak fix recommendation?

    I have a massive coolant leak between the inlet manifold and the block. The coolant pools up in the back of the 'u' shaped gasket & then runs down the bell housing & all over the floor. 1) Am I supposed to goop up the big black gasket around the coolant inlet ports? 2) Are there torque specs...

    Need help before I throw a lighted match in the tank.

    All: 1995 D1. Overheated & pushed air into the expansion tank. Took the heads off, had them both machined (both were out of true, one had a 'hump' in the middle) and replaced the head gaskets even though they looked fine. Put everything back together and it won't start. Almost fires, but not...

    So I'm going to attempt to replace the head gaskets on my '95 myself...

    All: Where can I find a step by step guide on how to get to and replace the head gaskets on my '95 D1? I can use my Defender as a reference because it has the same engine. This would be the biggest project I've ever undertaken, but the worst thing that can happen (other than a fire) is I can't...
