    ARB Bull Bar for series 1 Discovery

    I am selling my front bumper on my Land Rover, I am going to build something different. Nothing wrong with the ARB Bull Bar other than some slight surface rust, could use a good paint job.

    Aluminum Radiator

    I did a search but couldn't find anything. Anyone installed an aluminum radiator in a RRC? My 88 doesn't have the oil cooler or anything so I don't need to worry about finding a radiator with that built in. I was thinking about something like what Ron Davis Racing offers, or something from...

    Anyone know what size the exhaust gasket (olive gasket) is for a 88 Classic? I need one and was going to try and source it from a local parts house. Atlantic British and the LR parts manual don't list the dimensions.

    Hey guys I am in the process of rebuilding a 3.9 for my Classic and I was just wondering if it would be worth it to purchase a performance timing chain and gear kit instead of just a replacement kit? I am going to used timing chain and gears made for the Buick 231 V-6 (straight swap from my...

    Some thoughts on replacing headgaskets

    Well, I just completed the headgasket replacement on my 99 D1 and I thought I would give some thoughts on my experiences with this job. First off I would say find a CLEAN work bench to use during the replacement. Second, I had great success with using a Snap-On breaker bar and 1/2 wobbly...
