Well, it was short, but at least I got to take it offroad...even if only once at Hassayampa before the big rains here not long ago... :( Had to get a larger vehicle for work so this one's gotta go.... 1999 Land Rover Discovery II 83,400 miles 4.0 liter V8 All wheel drive (full-time 4wd)...

Walter - I just did this as well with CRC. Unplugged the battery for about 10 minutes, sprayed the crap out of the MAF, let it dry for a few minutes, plugged it back in and the SES light went out. Wooohoooo! :D :cool: I'll likely drive it around a lot the next few days (it's not my daily...

Thanks Robbie. Yeah, I think the stethoscope (sp?) trick might be in order to better narrow it down.

So, how'd the spraying go? That do the trick? I've got the same code (but for both sides being too lean). I'm going to try this tomorrow and see what happens. :)

So this "howling/growling" thing... Mine's been doing that (something under the hood has....) for a couple months now. It started quite faintly and more recently has becoming almost embarassing when stopped and in neutral. :( I'm not positive it's the ALT, but putting my head under the hood...

Hmmm.... Maybe I should spray this stuff on myself? I can go weeks without a shower! The dirt will just FALL off! :D

Didn't they show that one on Leno? :D That dumb &^%$# is probably catching so much crap for her 20 minutes of fame. :rolleyes:

You can also calculate the circumference difference from your stock tires to your current ones. That % can be adjusted for MPG too. My former vehicle actually travelled 6-7% further than the odo indicated. :D

Do those Tornado things work as well as the new high performance muffler bearings? :D

The other day while in Palm Springs I saw "LUVMILF" on a Lexus SUV. I took a pic while on the road, but it didn't zoom in close enough to read. I have "GO4X4LO" on my LR. :D

Before I blow big bucks, anyone have a set of wires as described in the above post? (or know where I can find them for a reasonable price?) I now have my seats, I now have my switches. I have cloth in the front and leather in the back. I just don't have the wires yet. :D Wire me up!! :D

AMEN! I had AOL for a while (dial-up) - about stabbed my eyeballs out in frustration - absolutely HATED it. Sucked sucked sucked! Switched to DSL - that was awesome, but for some reason became, shall we say, not as reliable as it should be. Not bad, but not great. Moved to Cable - freeekin'...

Yep - David V in Portland, but I don't think he ever made it out with you guys. Okay, sorry to hi-jack your thread - back on topic! :)

Bummer, Marc! I remember when you first got your LR while on the XOC board. Sweet ride you've got. I'm "johnnyx/areuin/NCCXJohn/etc" from the Xterra world. I just traded in my Xterra for a white DII. I had to make the jump! :D No more IFS!....unfortunately (or fortunately!), the...

Mike - that thing looks pretty sharp. Thanks for the info over email as well. :cool:
