    Difficulty putting into Park

    Yesterday after a drive when I parked I noticed the shift lever did not want to go into Park. It works just fine once out of Park in all the other gears, but to put back into Park takes quite a bit of muscle and it just feels like something will break. Any ideas on the sort of things I should...

    abnormal tire wear?

    OK, this is on my 2000 Land Rover Discovery. Firestone Destination M/T's that have been on the truck since SEP 2008, and have put ~36,000 miles on them. Have rotated them twice since they've been on the truck. Were great tires with little noise and relatively smooth ride. The last year or...

    very uneven pad wear, what to look for

    Noticed a scraping sound at the end of a road trip last week. Wasn't sure what it was until a couple days ago. Felt the rear passenger side wheel was very hot, then noticed the outer half of the rotor was real rough. Took the pads out today and the outside pad had worn down all the way to the...

    stripped oil drain plug

    So noticed small oil leak every night, turned out oil plug was stripped. Had mechanic put in new oversized drain plug, but it started leaking again. So what now? Do I need to replace the whole oil pan? Can a machine shop just do something to my oil pan and put in new drain plug?

    driveshaft question

    Took my front drive shaft off a couple months ago due to vibration issues. Turns out the U joint was shot, so finally got it replaced. My marks to line it up are no longer there, so how important is it that it's installed the same way it was taken out? Also, I think the output shaft moved...

    front seat bracket broke

    Well I happened to notice one day that the front passenger seat was leaning pretty good towards the center of the vehicle. All the power seat controls still work, and it's not that noticeable when sitting in it, but looks very obvious from outside the truck. On closer inspection I noticed...

    new tires rubbing

    On my '00 DII I replaced my worn GY Wrangler MT/R's with a new set of Firestone Destination MT's. I replaced them with the same size: LT245/75 R16. Driving on the road is OK, but any kind of dirt road or trail I can hear a lot of tire rubbing. Never had any rubbing at all, even when...

    Maybe someone can give me some kind of idea on this. A week ago I did a little off roading for a few hours, as soon as I turned to get back on paved road their was a loud scraping/squeeking noise coming from under the truck.
