    Want to hardwire my GPS... Power comes from Mini-USB...

    I have a rather inexpensive, but *VERY* good GPS unit I keep in the Disco. I usually power it via the cigarette lighter (12v) adapter and the end that plugs into the GPS unit itself is simply a Mini-USB plug. I really want to use the lone cigarette lighter for cell phone charger and other...

    North Atlanta area mechanic needed....

    to fix several issues with my 2003 Land Rover Discovery II (4.6)... Including a blown head gasket, 2 faulty O2 sensors, and possible clogged catalytic converter (all related, of course). Car runs and drives fine, but won't pass emissions. So, the good news is that I've decided to keep my...

    Handyman Special: 2003 Land Rover DII 4.6...

    I am probably going to trade this in, and only getting wholesale auction price for it, which is what I'll probably do, but if I can get a little more out of it and avoid dealing with it, I'll sell it to someone who wants it I'll just pay off the balance with cash (definately upside down in it)...

    Disconnect that f*ing emissions fan thing??

    Everytime I start my Rover from cold I have to listen to that god awful LOUDER than a jet aircraft fan for a minute. I'm tired of it and this rolling piece of junk won't pass emissions anyways, so where is it and how do I disconnect it. From what I understand, it's something for emissions (and...

    Birdie in the blower fan.... squeak, squeak...

    So, my interior blower motor has gotten really squeaky recently, especially since it's been so cold out this week. Is this fan blower bearing something I could access and shoot with some bearing grease or does it likely need replacement?? And, how accessible is this thing?? I'm a...

    Can a hard top easily be converted to a soft top??

    I've had my eye on a Defender 90 for a long time. I'm still not sure I want to spend that kind of money, but I'm looking around for a "driver". I really prefer an early manual soft-top model for where I live, but notice many of them are hard-top. Can a hard-top Defender be (easily)...

    Do I need a rubber "shim" or "isolators"... OME springs...

    On a 2003 DII. My shocks are totally gone and I'm tired of the shoddy ride. I bought a set of 2" OME springs from someone on here a while back. I'm finally getting around to buying the OME heavy duty shocks to go with it. I heard some mention of people running a "rear spacer" or shim of...

    Having trouble getting gas tank to fill....

    Sounds odd, but I have been having an issue recently (and done it at several different gas stations, and pump types)... But, most of the time (not all the time), I can't get more than 1/2 a tank in at the pump. It keep clicking "off", even if I try to fill it slowly. It's almost as if some...

    Stow box on my DII is rattling me to death...

    It rattles and makes so much noise it's driving me nuts. I even put felt tabs under where the top of the box covers the bin, but rattling continues. I think I need to remove the whole bin and wrap all the plastic edges that meet other plastic with felt... but, not sure how to remove it. Any...

    Cut stock front bumper on D2???

    I remember seeing a while back where some folks, instead of buying some really absurdly expensive front bumper from ARB, TJM, or some place like that, simply cut the bottom half of their factory bumper off. I remember thinking that it didn't look bad, and may do the job (as far as not catching...

    Brake Upgrade Report: Successful.

    Just thought I'd report on my mild brake upgrade. I installed new pads and rotors a few months ago and I heard a lot of people warning me that using anything than stock pads (especially with dba rotors) would result in "3 amigos" flashing at me all the time. I decided to chance it. I have...

    Is there a hair dryer or a blender under my hood??

    So, recently my Rover has started making some rather odd noises on occasion. It only lasts for a minute or so, and then goes away. It happens usually when I'm stopped at a stoplight or at low speeds, but the best I can explain is it sounds like a hair dryer or a blender going on under the hood...

    Botched service... advice needed...

    Okay, so brought my 62k mile '03 D2 in for general 60k service and change all fluids, new plugs/wires, etc. etc... And, replace all the brakes (with my parts). I had dba rotors in the front and Ferrodo pads and rear rotors installed. Anyways, the truck was running great, other than a 'miss'...

    Coolant Flush...

    Any things to watch out for? Is there a reccomended coolant, or is it not really an issue. I usually use Sierra (anti-phosphate) coolant, as many of today's cooling systems have plastic parts which that is good for, and also causes less corrosion. So, I guess I plan on using Sierra again...

    Can anyone tell me exactly what's done in the 60k mile service...

    through the Land Rover dealership service department. I'm looking to use an outside shop, as I have other work that needs to be done, and using mostly non OEM parts. Anyways, I want to get the 60k done. Can someone list what specifically is done at this service interval?

    Any D2 owners had ABS issues with running aggressive brake setup...

    Say, DBA rotors, Ferrodo pads, and Expeditionware SS brake lines? Someone at the dealer told me they had some experiences where upgrading the brakes caused confusion with the ABS sensors and they lights would go on all the time. He said it wasn't a serious problem, but warned me it could be an...

    Best (and most affordable) Safari Rack??

    Okay, so my Rover is becoming more of a "work rig" and I need some way to mount ladders and other tools to the outside of the vehicle. And, I think a Safari rack is an excellent way to store stuff like this atop the vehicle (not to mention I've wanted one for a long time anyways). So...

    Fun Experiment painting black on hood...

    Okay, so I've always liked those G2 and G4 treck edition Rovers with the blacked out upper section of the hood... less glare and looks better. Plus, once I power buffed and cleaned up the body, I realized home many stone chips I had on the hood... and, I'd like to hide them! So, I bought...
