My family and I are on a road trip, driving across the country to our new military station. We are just east of Memphis, TN and the Disco died on the exit ramp. I got it to the travel station off I-40, exit 260. I pulled the codes and it is telling me that I need a Crankshaft Sensor. I have called all the auto parts stores in the surrounding areas and they do not carry this part. What I am wondering is if there is anyone in the Memphis area that can help me. We are desperate to get back on the road today, but aren't sure how it's going to happen. Please call me if you think you may be able to help. (919) 273-7095 or (919) 273-7097.

If no one has this part no big deal. I can call the Land Rover dealership in Memphis and pay for it. Is there anyone willing to run the part out to me. I am willing to compensate you for your gas and your time. Thank you!! Please call me at (919) 273-7095.

Yeah, enroute ... well, stuck in Arkansas for the time being! We figure worst comes to worst we'll haul out to Memphis in the morning in hopes they have the part and then repair and be on our way.

And we were doing so good on time! I'll shoot you some pics of the convoy so you can live vicariously.

Okay ... Matt we are laughing our asses off right now! You just wish you were here in Arkansas in a grimy hotel room with two broken Rovers in the parking lot with us! We're so glad we have Captain Morgan to keep us company.

Pics? Oh, just wait until I post the one of Shawna's P38 towing my DII (keep in mind that I was trailering the Series) into the truck stop parking lot!

Here we are:

The first is the embarassing tow. The second is me admitting being owned. The third if the offending part. The fourth is Shawna basking in her glory and the fifth is the beauty of at least being prepared enough to make this less annoying.

Luke- Nothing is wrong with the Series ... she's just in the wrong state! We're in the middle of our military reassignment to Idaho and the happened on day three. The next thousand miles or so should be interesting to say the least.
