    D2 all-metal radiator recommendations?

    I emailed Michele @ Griffin a while back and she just reached out to me today (probably prompted by your request!)... I shelved it back then when she asked me to send her specs. I'm running a Griffin all-aluminum rad in my 2001 P38 Rangie... Bought it from Scotty @ SoCal Used Rover Parts for...

    Disco2 Rear Shock Bolt

    Was changing over to Bilstein shocks on my 99 D2 last night and FUBARRED one of the rear shock mounting bolts... Talked to Land Rover dealer and they want $19 for the bolt - but the catch is you have to buy them in packs of 5!! $100 for 1 freakin' bolt!! And... they refused to give me the...

    Follow up to rusty window frame question.

    I had mine fixed on my 99 d2 last year... They tried to tell me the same thing. I took close-up pictures of the rust and emailed them to the service manager. She sent them to her regional manager for approval. I even had the rear door hinges (that are notorious for rust!) replaced. I think...

    2000 D2, rust on window frames.

    I had mine for my 99 D2 replaced under the corrosion warranty last year. Total bill from the body shop was about $1500. I had them address the rust on the rear hinges as well. I think the corrosion warranty is 6 years... Bryan

    greasing nipples on driveshaft?

    Does this apply to the Disco I only? It appears that the nipples are already there... I'm under the impresion that you have to screw in the nipples on the driveshaft in order to grease the Disco2... Is that right? If so, what size nipples? Bryan 99 Disco2

    Changing an ABS Sensor? Help!

    I changed out both of my front sensors at a cost of $70 each from AB on my 99 Disco 2. I took it into my independent (roverclubhouse.com) to get the codes cleared and it didn't fix my problem!!! They said that I'd have to replace my front hub to fix the problem - at a cost of $480 + 3hrs...

    Another Extended Warrenty Question

    Who did you buy your warranty through? I own a 1999 Disco 2 and am not looking forward to shelling anything out for major repairs... BTW, I never buy extended warranties, but I'd make an exception for my Rover as I think it would definitely pay for itself!! Thanks, Bryan
