    Old timer thread got me wondering, what Rover got you onto Discoweb?

    Bought a 96 in 2007 sight unseen for $2100 while I was looking for a Land Cruiser. 240k later I bought a 94 D1 in 2010. Still driving it daily, now by my kiddo. Got a 2004 D2 in 2020, anlso a daily by the Mrs. My other kiddo wants that one. Also have a 94 LWB that is more of a storage locker in...

    New here, first question about bad idle 96 4.0.

    Check your vacuum line to your fuel pressure regulator. It’s back and out of the way. Pull the screws out of your TPS and leave it in place. Start the engine and very slowly move the TPS one way then the other to see if it gets happy. If that works then slot the TPS holes and lock it down or...

    Normal Engine Operating Temperatures for 2004 Discovery 2

    I didn’t do the inline mod but am running the 180 t stat and the Chevy fan mod with a HD clutch. I’ve had good luck with that. Off-road 100+ outside, I will hit 205 with the air on. Usually it’s at 190 with the air on scooting around town on hot days.

    Headlamp washer pump retrofit

    On a D1 I no longer have, I abandoned the head light washers. Used a Toyota pump and had a second set of windscreen sprayers installed in the plugs for the right handed wiper set up in the cowl. It worked great.

    Bosch Starter Replacement

    Yes. The heat shield has to go. Disconnect the battery to keeps things calm. It was a lot of twisting and dare I say, fuckery, to get it in place. If you drop the Y pipe it’s a lot easier but only if you know it will come off without snapping something. It can be done with everything but the...

    D2 Steering issues after alignment

    Oooo. I strap two 5’ levels to the wheels making sure the tire writing or side tread doesn’t interfere and a string on two jack stands for front to back tracking. But I like those too. I would just need a few different sets. That’s the only down side I see.

    D2 Steering issues after alignment

    I love hearing crap like that. I do my own alignments and took my D1 to get new tires. As part of that, they offered to check the alignment. When I went to pick it up and asked about it , I was informed that there aren’t any adjustments for that so they didn’t check it. 😐 I am positive that...

    driver's door lock actuator? or spring?

    If your lock works normally with the key and the door just opens with the handle from both the inside and outside, then it’s your actuator. When the little spring goes out, usually your interior lock knob will drift down and mess with you. You will have to pick it up the last 20% to be able to...

    02 sensor help

    Yes. Sensor 2 is the downstream one.

    265/75R16 BFGoodrich KO2 tires w/ Method 701 wheels

    Ever thought about moving somewhere close ish to Boise Idaho? I would love to do that deal! I’m with Jimmy about being surprised that they are still for sale.

    02 sensor help

    I would swap sides and see if the problem moves before I purchased another one.

    LR3 took a tumble at the border

    As much as I hated the “ inset any American car body” on a Blazer frame trend. I do rather like the off road prepped imports. Mini cooper, Volvo wagons, new Beetles and such. They just look fun.

    LR3 took a tumble at the border

    Right before that I walked in on my son watching the Topgear episode where the three of them had a 72? Mustang, a Porsche 928s4 and a v8 Lotus Esprit. They pretty much went over landing around Chile and Argentina with them. Oddly enough I don’t think anything happened to the Lotus the whole...

    LR3 took a tumble at the border

    I just watched that last night. That must have been an exciting detour for the drivers and passengers involved.

    Successfully remove crank while engine in place?

    On a related note, kudos for doing that. This is not a great time weather wise to be working on your rig in the street. I lived around there for 10yrs and winters are tough for street repairs.

    Successfully remove crank while engine in place?

    I would try the bearing replacement. It’s cheap, you’re already in there. I would also look closely at your oil pressure right after the bearing replacement. If it didn’t change significantly, then I would look at your oil pressure bypass valve or maybe your oil pump gears broke

    What’s a 14cux full tune up look like?

    I don’t run a LR distributor but I think you have to be extra careful when removing the rotor due to messing up the vacuum advance system. That’s also something to check. That you’r vacuum advance diaphragm isn’t leaking or working for that matter. Also the condition of your fuel pressure...

    What’s a 14cux full tune up look like?

    Clean your IAC and unrelated but your PCV system too.
