Discovery II alternator
You don't need to remove the fan shroud. Two bolts hold the altenator on. The belt tensioner will release with a clockwise twist on the bolt in the center of the pulley. There are 2 wires in the alternator itself that have differrent size posts. You can't go wrong. I got a later model used...- Roverhound

Electrical Problem
I'm willing to bet you've lost a ground somewhere. You might want to chase those around first. Look under the dash around the fuse box and under the glove box. Don't just throw parts at it, trouble shoot it.- Roverhound

I Need Help ! Can someone answer this question for me ?
Actually, those are the same symptons I had. The 2 u-joints in the hooke joint are not greasable so they are likely the culprits.- Roverhound

Not true. I just did mine this past weekend. The hooke joint is a little work but other then that it is a standard u-joint replacement. Fisher auto parts u-joint #344 is a US made product that comes with zerk fittings. To do both shafts you'll need 4 of them. I got mine for about $22. Not cheap...- Roverhound

BG44K, and other additives?? how to best use?
I just did the Seafoam route on my 2000 d2 recently as a preventitive. For intake cleaning I pulled the hose off the passenger side valve cover and poured it slowly in the hose.

Nope, no reset on the d2. Try the battery trick. It worked for me before I got the software on my lap top to reset it.- Roverhound

Didn't realize you had a d1 so the reset may work. It's worth a try. Yeah Zappa ruled. Ever tried getting all his works on cd? There's hundreds of titles. He did such a wide range of music you can't collect them all!- Roverhound

Adam, to reset the light pull the negative lead off the battery for a few minutes. If the fault is not there anymore, it will go out. I just ran seafoam through my 2000 d2 and had the light go on so I think it's normal. I reset with my computer, the fault wasn't even present anymore. As far as...- Roverhound

Hey. I'm in Harrisonburg too. What are you driving now? Seen a few different Rovers since you guys came back this fall and I'm wondering if you're one of them. You should head out with us sometime.- Roverhound

The Seafoam Picture and Instruction Thread
I've done it before when I was getting nuisance codes before cleaning my MAF. I didn't believe it at first either, I thought obd2 wasn't supposed to work that way.- Roverhound

It may not clear the codes Mike, but it will shut the light off until another code is thrown.- Roverhound

To reset the codes, disconnect your negative battery cable for about 10 minutes. That will shut your light off unless you are still throwing codes.- Roverhound

has anyone tried a headlight swap?
IPF makes a kit that will allow you to run 95w/145w low/high beams. It consists of relays and wiring harness. That would be a good option for more light.- Roverhound
