Anyone know which two wires to cross to start up a Discovery? I'd like to replace my key ignition with a button or switch from Radio Shack.

I just watched my boss hand over $4,500 to his "bimmer" mechanic, for what ended up as an overhaul but probably began as a bad transmission ECU. Point is, I love you guys (and girls). I love you people. Yes, some of us are hicks and some are hippies; some (like Chris) I'm sure, transsexual...

I saw this on an Internet messageboard, somewhere. Apparently Subaru has developed some kind of hovering rally racer - years ahead of its time. Any thoughts on how they got this to work, or why they've not said anything about it?

Any time I ask the dealer what they'd charge to do something, I feel like they're smirking, kind of, and they have to know I've busted up laughing on the inside. It's like a polite kind of mocking. Honestly, now, I'm wondering if anyone has just socked a dealer in the face.

My MOUNT RUBBER - EXH HANGER finally cracked after 10 years of reliable service. $5.59 from Rovers North, and I'm glad I caught the noise before running over $6,000 of miscellaneous exhaust conduit. This is the sort of preventative maintenance I'm talking about. Let's try to compile a list of...

They actually happen! A client's bank just transferred $50,000 into our account instead of $5,000! I'll be Mexico if anybody needs me..

How the hell are you supposed to eat a large onion rings with one packet of zesty onion ring sauce?

Removing the needle and sticking it back in 20 or 30 times seemed to do the trick. I'm not kidding. Just thought I'd point this out, because no one was able to answer my question some time back.

Changey or no changey?

:yawn:

My boss owns this car - never had any slippage or other transmission problems. Suddenly, an error message: "Trans Failure Prog." The car went into fail-safe mode, and would only park, reverse, and go into a very low first-gear. Without even dropping the pan, his mechanic has somehow concluded...

Let's say you were curious about how these things worked and took them out. How do you put them back in?

I'm curious - how many of you are driving around with that exhaust leak that results from misjudging your clearance and setting the exhaust piping behind the front tires down on some low-lying boulder or rock? Did a search; don't think this has come up

Is it blue or green? Who knows?

I am interested in calculating the natural frequency of the Discovery. If the amplitude of motion is described by the relationship: |X/Y| = 1 / SQRT( 1 ? (w/wn)^2 ) and we know resonance will occur when natural frequency wn equals encounter frequency w, it can be shown that the most...

Ha-ha ha! A poll only I can vote for!!

I've found that accelerating through a turn ensures the tractional force on the outside-rear tire will continually overcome the force of momentum trying to push the Discovery out of equilibrium. Because that tractional force is a function of vehicle weight I've found, further, that this...
