    04 Disco roof leak

    There is a water drain tube on each of the sunroofs, it runs between the roof and the headliner. I don't know if it is accessible otherwise, but I found that the plastic socket / tube was broken only when I had my headliner out to be redone. It was fixed and I have not seen any wetness on the...

    Door lock Actuator Nightmares

    Thanks for the collective wisdom going on here I did mine front right today in a fairly short time. Roverparts put a helpful video on youtube on removing the door panel (I was dreading this part, hate dealing with braking plastic clips), so I bought extra clips and receptacles from them just in...

    a small puddle of oil after oil change

    Big thank you for words of wisdom, obviously comes from experience. Will do as you say. Seventyfive, thanks, love saabs but no particular need for a wagon. My advice study closed deals on similar cars on ebay , note prices, clean/detail, take good photos and write a good description, then put...

    a small puddle of oil after oil change

    Well, it turns out its not so easy: took it to my tech who degreased the engine from any angle imaginable, including from the bottom. Watched it on the stand with the engine running, and steering being turned, nothing. Brought it back home, the engine looks super clean, no leaks to be seen...

    a small puddle of oil after oil change

    Very good question. Looks like oil to me but I never touched the steering fluid in my life. How do I ascertain its not the PAS?

    a small puddle of oil after oil change

    This may have been beaten to death already, but here goes. 120K on the clock, valve cover gaskets are semi dry, no history of any major leaks so far. Went for an oil change and a few days later found a small puddle under the front driver side, not more than half a cup maybe, but still...

    99 D2 Bad Amplifier channel?

    Ditto the connector. There may be a few outs from the amp to the speakers to individual drivers in the door (there is a tweeter and a woofer).

    2004 DII drivetrain vibration mystery

    Thank you Joey! Will try that, although from what I recall I cant get too fast on low range. Last tried on deep sand a few years ago, worked like a charm. Can I even get to 35mph on low? Will try, see what transpires. On the last front drive shaft change I've looked at the output shaft/bearing...

    2004 DII drivetrain vibration mystery

    Need help with ideas! 35 and 75mph vibe, not violent, but I do feel it. Rear flex joint replaced a year ago, 120K on the clock of 2001DII. Two driveshafts tried, the one from GBR got sent back for being even more pronounced compared to Todco, which got re-balaneced by my local professional shaft...

    Ipod conversion?

    Another great way to keep the stock system but add A2DP Bluetooth, line-in, USB charging and iphone/BB/smartphone integration among other cool features is Motorola TK30. Used to be priced in hundreds I got one recently for only about $70, installing it on my other car. Its got its own mike...

    Why does Rover V8 require premium fuel?

    once a zombie put a regular when I was refueling at a gas stop on new jersey turnpike...while i had a quarter of the premium left in my tank, I was doing NYC to DC. I can tell I noticed a slight loss of power, nothing else. upon arrival I burnt half of the tank, read the receipt that read...

    Aftermarket stereo install (w/ pics)

    Good one! I had exact same unit, done by these guys, and I believe I even posted their info here as well. The trouble is, at some point the radio became weird: it would stick to AM, which is no fun. The AUX in on this would only work with the radio set on FM. The stock CD changer is very...

    steering wheel control adapter install

    Ok, found BOTH wires. Black and Grey as in this thread (see pics), #2 on the car's harness (has to be grounded): https://plus.google.com/photos/11781...786?banner=pwa And number 3 on the factory harness, different row, next. That one connects to the white wire. This leaves you with power (black...

    Aftermarket stereo install (w/ pics)

    Rich, Big, big KUDOS to you for this. If not for this post of yours, I'd still be stuck on AM, where my oem cassette tape deck had me cornered. Your post has motivated me to do whats probably the best thing ever to happen to my truck, short of regular maintenance:) I owe you one, as the...

    Where to get juice for the backup cam?

    Big thanks to all of you! I hear you on being able to have it on all the time: will try to see how the new H/U operates for that first!

    Where to get juice for the backup cam?

    Long story short, my stock audio H/U is acting up, decided to go aftermarket. The new single din Kenwood I got has an IN for a back up cam, so I thought why not hook up a cam. Now, for anyone who did this, whats the easiest place to tap into the wire that triggers the reverse lights? Thanks in...
