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.

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...

I kept getting P1171 and P1174 codes so I bought a new MAF (Bosch, same P/N) and it seems to have taken care of those codes but now I get P0102 and P1884 every time I start the engine. I clear them and I can drive all day plus the occasional idle stumble that seemed to be causing the first...

As mentioned in an earlier thread my parking brake cable became fused to it's housing when my engine ground strap came loose and the starter used it to complete it's electrical circuit. Sounds crazy but apparently I'm not the first one to have had this happen. In fact, when I Googled "Discovery...

Over the past six months I've had this intermittent starting problem that has happened three times. I turn the key and the engine turns over very slowly, as if I had a dead battery. In the first two incidents the engine started after cranking over about three times. Afterwards the starter...

Over the past week or so I've been hearing a rumbling that sounds like like a "hole in the muffler" for lack of a better description but it's coming from up front on the passenger side. Today while I was listening to it at idle I discovered that if I disconnect the vacuum sense line to the right...

After doing my engine swap from my old, overheating 4.0 to a low mileage 4.6 I've been experiencing an intermittent and sporadic miss that is mostly on a cold start but seems to be getting worse. On two occasions I have gotten a SES light with a code for #8 cylinder. So my thoughts are it could...

I just finished doing an engine swap on my '01 D2 from a 4.0 to a 4.6 - I took my time and spent the last two weekends making sure it was all done right. Anyone who has done an engine R&R on a Disco knows it's a good bit of work so finally this afternoon I was ready to turn the key and here's...

I'm in the middle of an engine swap going from a 4 liter to a 4.6 on my D2 and I'm looking at this stainless SAI manifold thing that is crammed along the back of the engine against the firewall and causes all sorts of challenges and then it just winds up with this cheesy plastic hose that plugs...

This is an extension of my "Diagnosing overheat" thread I have found a couple of options, one is a salvaged '03 that was in a wreck but otherwise is running well with 105k on it. The other is a used 4.6 engine that had 72k on it and comes with free shipping and a 3 year warranty. If I do the...

I know this has been discussed ad-infinitum for years and I have researched and read much on the subject over the past few days. I recently did a 2700 mile excursion to Utah that included the Burr and White Rim trails in and around Canyonlands and Moab as well as some other fairly demanding...

I bought this tent a month ago for a trip I'm taking through Utah and Colorado in June. I weighed the options of sleeping in the truck, a ground tent or the RTT. It wasn't an easy decision considering some of the new instant-erect tents they have nowadays and the fact that roof top tents are...

The other day I got a SES light with codes P0174 and P0150. Using Torque I could see that both short and long term fuel trims for bank 2 were way out of whack. I found the connector for the forward RH side O2 sensor oil soaked, cleaned it and now the short term trim reads normal but long term is...

Monday morning I decided to go on a day trip up the forest road to Lake Pillsbury so I left around 4 am and about 100 miles from home I thought I noticed my headlights flicker for an instant. Some time later it happened again and I was then certain I hadn't just imagined it. Still later the...

First off I'm not new at this, I've owned a 2001 D2 for the past 8 years and I've been reading up on the LR3 and know about most of the common issues but still have a couple questions. Is there a Rave manual or equivalent available for it? Will I need any special diagnostic tool beyond...

Truck is a 2001 D2. A few weeks back I hooked up the diff lock by installing a lever off a D1. Everything was working fine, I even took it on a trip up to the mountains and drove in the snow a bit. Today as I was driving to work on the freeway doing about 65 or 70 in the rain the diff lock light...

I'm installing a D1 shifter in my D2 to enable the CDL but can't figure out how to get the knob off so I can get it through my modified swash plate and put a new boot on it. It just turns but doesn't unscrew like the D2 knob. I've tried pulling it straight off but it don't seem to want to budge.

I am installed a pair of front auxiliary lights. I bought an extra fog light switch and swapped the cap onto an extra cruise control switch which is ON/OFF rather than momentary. While scouting out routes for the wiring I noticed these two unused connectors by the left and right headlights. I...

I've found a lever and have read a few articles on doing this. Apparently there is some modification required to the Hi/Lo connection and maybe some issues with the seal but overall are there any real drawbacks about doing this. It seems to be near impossible to find an '04 lever and real pricey...
