    Fan switch replacement. Where to find switch?

    I do not want to replace the entire a/c and heating control unit if I do not absolutely have to. I consider this a challenge to me from Land Rover. The switch is stuck on 4...fan not running, of course. It stopped working when it jammed in that position. I took the dash apart, lots of fun...

    Wheel bearing replacement question

    Front left wheel bearing, 97 D1. Heard slight clicking noises some time ago, only when wheel is at or near full lock. Recently the noise has become much worse. I believe it is the wheel bearing. It's possible the CV is going bad too, right? I have the bearing kit and was going to replace...

    Knocking sounds--suspension?

    Okay, so I have a knock coming from something in the suspension I think. It is really more than a slight knock. Anytime I hit the speed bumps at my work (NOT THE MALL THANK YOU VERY MUCH) at a slow speed and give my suspension time to compress any small amount and rebound normally there is a...

    Front pinion bearing R&R

    Piece of cake, right? DIY job? :biggrin: Well, something in the front diff is slopping around a bit too much. I had someone sit in the car and put the car from R to D and back again a few times. There is a lot of slop in there. It looked like the pinion bearing from the play I could...

    Rearview mirror and MagnaDonnelly

    I have an interesting question. And I have, of course, read the other thread(s) on this topic. My autodimming rearview mirror does not have a plug that connects it to the loom. Honestly, no plug. The wires are white, gray and black out of the back of the mirror, and go straight into the...

    Sludge found under valve covers, eeek!

    So after finally, yes finally, getting to the valve cover gasker job I was hoping to do last weekend, I found a not-so-nice surprise under the valve covers. I thought I had found the hiding spot for a sludge monster... I cleaned the valve cover interior very well, took off the baffle thingy...

    manifold bolts/antiseize lubricant

    Always use antiseize lubricant on the manifold bolts? Oh, apparently LR recommends antiseize lube/grease on the manifold/head mating surface. Is this the exact same stuff as used on the spark plug threads and manifold bolts? Thanks

    Plugging a refrigerant leak.

    There is a refrigerant leak in the rear air circuit, in the low pressure pipe that passes just above the rear left tire. I finally found the leak, YES. I was afraid of having to send it to an A/C specialist. The leak is at a connection. It will be easy to disconnect, as the pipe has been...

    Tps

    I thought about titling this 'Problem with TPS reports' but then not many people would have looked. ;) The usual Office Space movie joke. This is my TPS, right? See first attachment. It looks pretty screwed up to me. Undoubtedly the previous owners didn't want to replace it and just...

    Okay, so I just bought the software and necessary equipment from Mr. Peper at www.obd-2.com. I've seen good reviews from people on various sites about this guy's product. If anybody knows or owns this product, do you know if it allows you to reset the codes as well as inspect? I know it has...

    Hazard lights coming on unexpectedly?

    Strange. It happened twice while at the Pismo Dunes. Both times I had just hit a big bump, but I don't think I even got the tires off the ground. Pulling the key out and restarting the engine reset the lights. That was the only thing that could reset the lights, hazard switch had no...
