    Always Get The Wierd Issues

    Dropped the LR3 off to the shop for an oil change yesterday. I get a call from my friend who runs the shop, "have you been having any problems with the climate control, alarm, etc". Nope, it's been running very well. They did the oil change, hooked up the Autologic to reset the service reminder...

    EAS Puzzle

    When I bought my LR3 the front left dropped overnight. Replaced the front bags, all was fine. After a time, both sides of the front dropped. Replaced the valve block, all was fine. Now a few months late, front dropping again, compressor comes on just about everytime I start the truck. Some...

    300TDi Intermittent Start

    I've had my 1997 D1 300TDi auto since about May and this vehicle and engine is relatively new to me having had only V8's in the past. Last week on a couple of occasions it seemed to turn over slowly. I drove to the gas station, filled up and when I went to leave, the engine cranked, then nothing...

    RRC clock module into D1

    I purchased the clock unit from a 1995 RRC to replace the digital one in my D1. Seems four wires go to the connector on D1 but two wires run to power and two to bulb on RRC clock. Anybody done this swap and can tell me which wires go where. My clock isn't very bright at the best of times so...

    D1 & 245 75 R16 tires

    Just sold my 2003 D2 with the 18" wheels and keep my 16" set. The tires are General Grabber AT2 - 245 75 R16. Will these fit on my new purchase, a 1997 D1 300TDi? Will there be any rubbing? Would adding a 1" lift help? Thanks. The tires are only 4 months old so if I could keep them and just sell...

    SLS Issue

    Recenty one of my height sensors on my 2003 D2 started acting up. Both height sensors were replaced but now one side sits higher than the other. Is there some kind of calibration that can be done to get it to sit level?

    D1 300tdi Owners - Avg MPG's?

    Currently driving a 2003 D2 4.6 but have the opportunity to purchase an NAS LHD 97 D1 300tdi with correct automatic transmission. I'm wondering what kind of real world MPG's people are getting with their 300 TDI's? My commute alone is 100 miles per day round trip so I'm thinking this would pay...
