    Coolant leak from back hose coolant tank

    the nipple on the underside of the tank probably has a crack in it. they do that as they age and if they are stressed by the hoses.

    My Lift Kit Review

    yeah. it's pretty rough. but, i drove diesel f250s and 350s for years and towed with them. if i never drive one again, i'll be just fine. i enjoy driving my Discovery even with it's limitations and i'm willing to work within those limitations.

    My Lift Kit Review

    i'm running the RTE 2" coils and Fox shocks, as well. overall, i'm happy with the ride quality. though, after doing a bit of towing with a heavy trailer, i did throw in some one inch spacers on the rear.

    2011 LR4 Restricted Performance Mode

    after doing a little more research and reading i decided to dig into the engine bay the other day. pulled the plug off the TPS and gave both ends a cleaning. i noticed the silicone(?) dust moisture seal was torn and bunched up and simultaneously realized the plug had come off far too easily...

    INEOS Grenadier

    came out from the grocery store a few weeks back to see a Grenadier parked directly in front of my '04 Discovery. it is a great looking vehicle in person. after seeing yours and pm's and seeing one in real life, i'm hoping to have one myself in the next year or two.

    2011 LR4 Restricted Performance Mode

    i'm still getting the restricted performance mode happening every 130-150 miles. the check engine light never comes on and we can get the LR4 to reset itself by turning it off and waiting 10-15 minutes. then in 130-150 miles it does it all again. will there be codes present even without the...

    2011 LR4 Restricted Performance Mode

    replaced both MAFs and air filters today. started the LR4 up and it had a very rough idle that shook the whole vehicle. of course, restricted performance popped up as did the check engine symbol. pulled out the generic (not rover specific) code reader and got two throttle position sensor...
