They said the atf should be brown. I meant the crossmember at the engine/trans junction, under the firewall.

Talking to a shop that specializes in LRs, the ATF in this model is not clear, as first thought. I then thought, brake fluid, clear and slippery. Nope. Now, the shop is saying it actually is coolant. They did a pressure test and when it hit a certain pressure; boom, it leaked heavily. That...

Wife's 2011 RR Sport. Went out to find a large leak coming from under the crossmember. Large enough that it had spread beyond the car's footprint. Looked like water but when I touched it it was clear oil. Transmission fluid. Took it to the (not LR specific) shop immediately and they are stumped...

Pretty sure that's not what we're talking about here

If it isn't made in Solihull it must be a janky hack job. Yup, his is D-Web. Some things never change. :rolleyes:

Yea, pretty much every Rover in history with coil springs (99.99% of them?)are horrible to drive.:rolleyes: You have an, ah, interesting? definition of cheap. Compressor failure is just one aspect of a system that is known to fail in many areas when the truck starts hitting that 8-10 year old...

Anyone have any experience with these? http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/L319SRK-OME

I just saw this thread and wanted to add something. Our sliders mount to the frame and sill, removing all the twisting force from the sill. The way we avoid the binding/squeaking that would normally accompany this design is by using a 1/4" thick rubber strip between the slider mount and frame...

Disco owners know what a PITA it is to try to find a sport rack system (Yakima, Thule, etc.) that will work with the Disco roof. Yakima makes the HiRise towers that add 3.5" to the 1A mounts but thats still too low for Discos. I machined a set of 5" spacers out of aluminum to work with my 1A...

Yea, when paring down the weight some items have to go. It broke my heart to lose the OBCM (on board cappuccino maker).

No, it's actually like pretty much every buggy ever built that has stock-ish body panels bolted to it. Non-LR sections of Pirate are loaded with examples. Think of buggies as the funny cars of the 4X4 world. It's pretty much understood that Corvette bodied funny cars aren't actually Chevys In...

Cool, then we're just down to the $15,000 transfer fee.

I never called it a Rover. It's a ground-up buggy. It's not a Land Rover, Suzuki, Ford, Chevy, Honda, or Dodge. It does have Dodge knuckles, Ford Spindles and outer bearings, Chevy PS pump, Honda radiator, and Suzuki eng/trans/TC. Things that I believe are great components for a light weight...

Cool, Shipping will be $16,000. Paypal?

No shortage of projects. That's the problem. About halfway done with the RRC desert racer now. Just raced the Leadville 100 mtb race last week. I've taken the buggy out exactly three times in the last three years. Two businesses, a family, and an attempt at actually having a life is forcing me...

15" gives far more tire choices. Very little use. No rock rash. 3.75"BS Mount your Swampers on these and keep your ATs for daily use. SOLD

Not at all. I'm too big a glutton for punishment. This actually helps get me there. I'll be buying a diesel tow rig.
