I examined a badly rusted truck last week and that led me to an exploration of the frames on Discovery II models. I made some surprising discoveries. I'd be interested in your thoughts and experiences. Here is the link to my blog on it...

We have a client selling a 2008 Range Rover with a great body that was flooded and is not in running order. The vehicle has a very clean body and interior, and many new modules and parts. It’s white with beige leather. Odometer shows 43,700 miles. The truck was manufactured in June 2008, so...

In years past I've written several articles on block failure, and how we fix those motors with the flanged liners. In this most recent article I show how we diagnose a cracked block through examination of the evidence seen when the heads are removed. I'd be interested if any of you have seen...

Good day, folks, We have an unusual failure in the Robison Service shop this morning. A 2003 Disco came in with intermittent loss of oil pressure. We pulled the front cover and found the outer oil pump gear cracked. That was not too surprising as I've had three 4.6 motors this past year fail...

Land Rover Discovery II overheating engine failure is getting more and more common around here. The "traditional explanation" is that the liners shift within the block and somehow combustion gases get into the coolant. In the early days I know that was true because I saw 1990s engines where the...

I have not been posting in the Land Rover forums as much because I'm still spending a lot of time writing. Those of you who read my magazine articles know I decided to write a book last year. I've finished the editing of Look Me In The Eye - and I'm hard at work on the second book. Look Me In...

I get queries all the time about the test systems we use to diagnose Rovers. In response, I decided to write a review of the two principal tools, the Autologic and the T4. You can read it here. http://www.robisonservice.com/articles/RonR_testsystems.asp Any comments are welcome. I will...

Now that they are getting to be 6-7 years old we are starting to see sudden explosive failures of the front driveshaft on DII models. As you know, the driveshaft has a double u-joint that has no grease fittings. Five times last year we had DII vehicles towed in after that joint blew apart...
