Yesterday my '02 DII's engine started having a hunting idle, with intermittent stalling. The truck felt like it had suffered a sudden massive power loss. Several instrument panel lights were flashing, particularly the circular green "M" and "S", along with the LCD gear indicator. Both battery...

Dude, that's a great idea. Totally missed that. Just took a look at it and the terminals are corroded like mad. Both covered in small mountains of dried white corrosive discharge! Praying thats all this is. Headed to The Zone to pick up a new juice box! Will let you know. Thanks again IHP...

Thanks in advance everyone! 2002 Discovery with auto transmission. Less than 5K on engine. Truck has a new (less than a year) short block in it from British Atlantic.. This probelm came out of nowhere, literally five seconds after I said to my wife "I can't wait to get to the Winter Romp"...

I have 6 (six) Genuine Land Rover Hurricane wheels with 5 (five) 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers available for sale. Tires are only about 10 months old with maybe five thousand miles on them. The sixth wheel has a stock size 255/xx/18 inch tire on it. The wheels are professionally refinished...

PM sent. I have one I am selling for short money. Steve O.

Looking for one that holds four lights. You know, like you'd see on a WRC car. I have seen them on some Discos in the major LR mags, including the Haynes-built Disco covered recently in Land Rover International. Looking for a retailer that sells these. Looks like what this RR has on the hood but...

Yeah, I haven't even made my purchase yet for sliders and a rear bumper but all the questions I've emailed down so far have been answered quickly and with helpful responses. Makes it a lot more comfortable when you're about to drop almost two grand with someone you don't know. Steve O.

Yeah, I know lots of people love the "Angel Eye" look on everything from sport compacts to the biggest BMW's, but I can't imagine a more ridiculous application of these things than on a truck, especially one that would be using lights like these in the first place. But if it floats someone...

Perfectly plausible explanation! And if true, a good example of bling getting in the way of the shade-tree mechanic who just wants some utlitarian lights on his truck. ;) I suppose if it turns out to be something entirely useless in my app, then I should probably cut it short and properly...

Did most of the job tonight. Found the passenger side rubber plug and was amazed at just how much I could fit through there. 8 strands of 10 guage wire and the CB antenna cable, with room to spare. Gotta put a grommet of some sort around the edge but otherwise I'm ready to reinstall the glove...

All the wiring schematics (including Hella's) show only two wires, but the actual plug that attaches to the receptacle with the two spades on the back of my 4000's has three wires. I know the colors follow European standards, but I still have no idea what the third wire's purpose is. As I am...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and the prompt replies. I want to have the job done before heading north for the Maine Winter Romp. Gonna be dark in those woods! Again, thanks. Steve

I'm planning on mounting the same number of switches on the overhead panel, in front of the sunroof switches. Really the only place I can think of in the cab that can handle five to six switches properly. I'm interested to see what other people may have done. If you're not already committed to...

Looking to run some wires from the cab to the engine compartment. Wondering if there is a well-known preferred route for this on the firewall. Figured I'd ask before I start wedging myself under the dash. As always, thanks. Steve O.

Hi all: I have a new ARB bull bar/bumper about to go on my '02. The bumper does not have provisions for my factory fog lights. I am going to install a pair of Hella 4000's on the bumper. The question is this: Is it possible (or a major hassle) to splice the Hella "plugs" into the end of...

Anyone? Seems like the only viable spot is on the ceiling in front of the sunroof buttons. I know the remount mount Cobra (and similar) unit with the controls on the mic are popular in Discos because of the lack of space, but I have four CB's lying around, a couple of which are very nice...

Thanks guys, very helpful. Do you have pics of either of your trucks you could post here or maybe email directly? Either way, thanks again for the input. Steve

Title basically says it all: I am looking to mount some larger (but not ridiculous) MT or AT rubber on the OEM 18" factory wheels. (Side note: Can anyone confirm for me how wide these wheels are?) I will be fitting a two inch lift prior to the tire job for the obvious clearance I will need...
