Range on keyless entry

1996 or 1999 Whats the diff?
When you say '99, are you talking about '99 D1 of a 99'D2? The D2 has tail lights that are mounted higher up than the D1. I would get more info on the service records of both trucks before I made a decision. The 100K mark is when expensive stuff starts to let loose (Head Gaskets, Radators... -
Coolant smell, sloshing sound, but Rad is full....any ideas?

Discovery I wheel lug problem
Best bet is to get some replacements off of e-bay, or someone who sells used parts like Roverland Parts. I keep a half dozen in the glove compartment, and change out the stripped ones when I put my snows on. I now take my truck to a place that uses a torque wrench to tighten and loosen lug nuts. -
1996 Land Rover Discovery Can't Shift Out of Park, No brakes Lights, Turning Signal
