Any luck with the temp sensor? This problem matches mine to a tee, and that temp sensor is about the only thing that makes sense that I haven't replaced yet.

Thanks for the input guys! I'm leaning towards the fuel pump. I replaced the fuel filter and it seemed to fix it, plus when I depressed the Schrader instead of barely clearing the engine the fuel stream would shoot clean out from under the hood a good 4 feet or so. Still doesn't register on the...

Hi all, So a little over a month ago, I bought a 1998 D1, 4.0, 123K miles. Ran like a top for me, up until about 4 weeks ago. I shut it down to go to the store, and when I tried to start it, it just cranked. Had to crank for about 10-15 seconds and mash the pedal to the floor, which did the...

Sure thing man I'll be second in line! Ed

All four corners?

Haha that is funny! Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot I guess

Are you calling your temps off the dash temp guage, or do you have an aftermarket, mechanical temp guage? I ask because I recently dealt with this very thing in an 87 Samurai Tin Top. I know it's not a D2 but here's what I had: Head gasket began a minor leak (could smell coolant in the...

Not sure how disco's link their pedal to the clutch, but it was acting like the clutch wasnt fully disengaging...hard to get into gear and would do a little grinding going in. My samurai did that with a new clutch cable, just required adjustment. You know those coil spring spacer/helper things...

Yeah i thought it sounded a bit hokey but thought maybe there's something like that in rover 5 speeds. Anyhoo, looked at it and turns out this guy doesnt know a balljoint from a hole in the ground (and also probably neither does the "mechanic"). The clutch linkage was just out of adjustment...

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a 94 D1 tomorrow and I need some input. It's a 5 speed, runs good, 174k miles, good shape, runs/drives. The guy's asking a pretty fair price too. Only problem is it's going to need new pressure plate gears soon and they cost $250 (at least that's what the mechanic...

How much them merc diesels tend to cost? I was lookin at the 4bt cummins route, but that fairly $$$ even if you can sell the scrap aluminum from the bread truck

Its grill looks like they took a semi-truck exhaust stack heat shield and bent it flat...

Ah I got ya...I was under the impression the fake myspacers were adults :banghead:

WELL PUT GOOD SIR!! I personally don't see why they should seek punishment for the parents. I'm sure they were trying their best. Unfortunately this isn't a perfect world (and never will be) so tragedy does happen from time to time. I just don't understand putting additional difficulties on...

So don't mess up your track record by trying a diesel swap like this. Trust me man I was considering the same thing with my DII, but when I figured costs I just sold it and got a diesel truck. Did I give up on my dreams? No, just postponed them until I'm financially able to bring them to...

Break-19 hope I'm not interupting this little bash fest too much (its quite :smilelol: ) but does this Chris ACTUALLY have 1 million + posts?!?! Someone please do the math how many posts per day is that?! What kind of job do you have? Or do you have one? Please, no offence is intended...

WOW this guy sounds religious! :smilelol:

Catchy headline...bravo! ;)

I like those whips. They do get in the way sometimes goin under stuff but as msggunny said you can tie em down, and I've found they get some pretty decent range cuz of how long they are. I'm not radio savvy but I guess its cuz they reach up higher they give you longer line of sight, but what...

That was me...
