    A sad goodbye... you all have been great.

    I just signed the title over... Sold my 2000 DII to a new owner. I was the second owner and had her for 11 years. Just wanted to thank you all for the knowledge and input on the truck and giving me the patience and guidance needed to own a Land Rover. She will be missed. Here is a link to...

    LR Swing-Away Receiver Hitch Bike/Ski Rack

I used on a DII. This...

    DII Battery cable terminal ends

    I finally decided to fix both the positive and negative terminal ends. A long time ago the negative end snapped off and the original positive end (with the double wires) decided to corrode so much that it no longer would stay tight. I actually soldered new ends on the two positive and the...

    Kayaks on Disco SD Rack?

    A buddy and I bought some 14' kayaks and I wanted to see how other people are carrying their kayaks. We just bought some foam blocks and strap the boats down to the rack. With a 2" lift it's a little annoying for me to try and get it up there. I haven't bought a step stool yet, but thinking...

    RoverTym DII Rear Bumper Installed

    After getting rear ended and repairing the plastic rear bumper each time I came back from taking her off-road I used the insurance money to buy the DII rear bumper from RoverTym. I just picked it up from the body shop and I am pleased with the construction of the bumper. I'll have to get her...

    DII rear bumper (RTE)?

    Well I was rear ended last night. The Audi that hit me is totaled, but the LR only suffered a shattered rear bumper and blinkers. Everyone is ok. I have repaired the rear bumper the last couple times I took it off-road and I would now like to get something a little more stout. I am looking at...

    Help: DII overheating

    So after a 10 min ride today in 60 degree weather, the Rover started to overheat. The red light came on and I got the truck to my house. I have had the truck for 8 years and had the top end replaced. At that time I think the water pump was either replaced or resealed. What are the steps to...

    DII dash/ tail lights not working

    I have an 00 DII. When I turn on my headlights the entire instrument panel and the dash buttons besides the radio do not light up. Also all my rear marker lights do not work. Blinkers still work as do the headlights. Not being able to read the speedo at night is very annoying. All the fuses...

    What would you recall?

    So since NHTSA has issued such the massive recall on the brake problem for Toyota, What do you think they should issue on LR's? Break it down by model or year. I have a DII and started thinking about all the actual design defects that could be corrected. I know most of them really aren't...

    Replacing front hub DII

    I am going to be replacing the front passenger side hub. Anyone have any tips about getting the old hub off? How hard is it going to be to remove the axle nut? The front wheel bearings went out that is why I am replacing. Thanks

    Power steering problem

    Getting off an exit ramp today I tried to make a slight turn to follow the ramp. The steering wheel became very hard to turn. Almost like I lost power steering. I checked the fluid level and it is almost at the top, can you have too much power steering fluid? If my tensioner is bad could...

    Belt squel

    The belt on my DII recently started squeling on startup. It eventually goes away... it seems to have started when the temps started getting colder here in the last month or so. What causes this? Is this a tensioner issue or is it time to replace the belt? I have always heard that belt...

    LR Picnic Tray Install

    Took about 3 hours total. Not bad... just had to work up the nerve to cut the leather on the back of the seats. Something different that you don't normally see. Doesn't add anything other than making the truck a little more unique...

    Install of GROM IPOD adapter in 2000 Discovery

    So it looks like if you have the Harmon Kardon sound system you can use the GROM adapter off of ebay. I just bought one for $90 (steep!) and installed it in less than an hour. Pretty straight foward install. The unit plugs into the back of the head unit in place of the cd changer. Since I used...

    Replacing a DII steering wheel?

    My truck is a 2000 DII, I am thinking about replacing my steering wheel with a newer one where all the leather has not been worn off. Has anyone done this before? Any tips regarding the airbag or on the procedure itself? Thanks in advance

    Transmission fluid exchange

    I think I am going to let Aamco do their 4x4 service. It includes changing the diffs and the transfer case and use the machine to cycle through 100% of the transmission fluid. They are going to use all Mobil1 products to refill for about $269. I could do the diffs myself no problem... but I...

    DII what wheels fit?

    Just curious if you guys know what years fit on a DII as far as 16". Is the backspacing the same on a DII as on the DI or Range Rovers from 94-96? It looks like the pattern is the same... 5 lugs on 6.5". I wanted to see if I would be able to run these....
