    Purring Like a Kitty

    Just wanted to share my excitement with some others. I just replaced fluids in front/rear diffs, trany, x-fer case, engine, brakes, new fuel filter and air filter. I don't know which part of this maintenance it was, but my Disco has never run so smooth. It used to have a little bit of a...

    STEEL RIMS for D2

    If these are the Camaro Steel wheels,,,, I promise that they WILL FIT and DO WORK. I've had them on my 2002 DII for 3 years and have used them HARD and OFTEN. Got some steel lugs and slapped them on,,,, never have looked back! These are great wheels, you shouldn't let them go for soooo cheap:(

    water pump weep hole went yesterday

    Another option to consider is Aluminum based anti-seize, just like copper except aluminum based. Always works like a charm with gaskets, never had a problem with leaks.

    water pump weep hole went yesterday
