Thanks for the replies, sounds like some tubing and maybe longer bolts to extend the originals is how I'll go. need to crawl under there and take a look.

What is the easiest method of extending the bump stops a couple of inches on a D2? I put on a 2 inch lift and it's not because of that, it's because the new tires will hit the fenders before the stops.

No but I know who you’re talking about his name is Juan, he flies a Luscombe and he sure does like to talk. I’m kind of a quiet guy :unsure:

After a few test drives I was getting a loud thump on rebound in the rear so that answers my question, I need the +2 shocks.

I installed a set of Terrafirma 2 inch lift spacers and kept my air springs. Lucky 8 told me that I don't need to replace my rear shocks as they are good for a 2 inch lift however one of the reasons I wanted to keep the air springs was for the additional 3 inches of lift available by pushing...

This may not be the same issue but when I did my head gaskets I put it back together with all new hoses and clamps and I fought little dribbles and leaks for a couple of weeks until I decided to go back to the original spring clamps. I had to buy a pair of those special cable operated pliers...

I have an '01 so my diff lock was not connected from the factory and when I installed a D1 shift lever this happened to me - the light came on and stayed on even though I had only used the lock a few times for test purposes when I first hooked it up. I engaged and disengaged it a few times and...

Holy fuck, you just unearthed some criminals. At least we're all wise to them now.

Yea let's agree to disagree on that subject and not talk about it anymore. I see you spent 250 bucks on an upgraded TBH plate, good on you I hope it works. Some people are going to tell you you're nuts putting money into your Disco, here's my story: I bought my truck in 2005 for $18k, really...

Um...nope, you're not. Now if I were DiscoMike I'd have given you my phone number and insisted you call me

No the crankcase is vented to outside usually through an oil/vapor separator. The engines are 5 to 7 liters. Thing is, aircraft fly at altitude through colder air and even through clouds with no throttle body heat. On Continentals the throttle body and fuel distributor are not even directly...

Okay Kennith if that?s the way you want it... Total fuckin’ bullshit and you know it. You pulled that right out of your ass didn’t you? Cheers yourself

Jeeze, chill out dude :beer:

Yea and to be clear I was never advocating that. In fact if you look back you'll find posts from me years ago saying the exact same thing as you. But I've had the Disco for 12 years and over 130,000 miles and I've fixed the TBH before and it didn't leak, the last time for over six years but when...

Actually your contention is nonsense but I happen to know where it comes from and that was mentioned earlier. Piston engined aircraft have always been susceptible to a malady known as carburetor ice (the ones with carburetors) and so they all have a knob on the panel called "Carburetor Heat"...

The TB on a Ferrari 308QV that redlines at 7700 rpm so I’m sure gets plenty of “wind chill” has no heater and not a single case of one ever freezing up. How is that possible? Millions of other cars don’t have it as well. Have any of you guys ever seen frost on your throttle body? Get real, it’s...

Well first off it's not called a "de-icer" anywhere but in internet forums. I know a lot of people assume that's what it is but I read a tech document once (I'll see if I can find it) that said its purpose is to reduce carbon accumulation from hot PCV gasses that are routed through the intake...

Yup, that's been my take on it too. You'll find all sorts of opinions on why there is a TBH in various forums on the internet, most of them completely unsubstantiated. For one thing there are cars that don't have it and another, as I said earlier, even airplanes with throttle bodies don't have a...

Carb heat on aircraft is for carburetors which have venturi’s. Throttle bodies do not have a venturi, it’s just a straight tube. Fuel injected aircraft with throttle bodies do not have a heater circuit, they only have an alternate inlet in case the intake gets iced over. The problem with the...

Just a quick update: I reinstalled my original MAF and no P0102 or P1884 codes (though I do once again eventually get the P1171 and P1174 codes) So yes, I got a bad sensor right out of the box. Sent it back for refund.
