I'm not sure what happened, but lately I just can't get comfortable in the driver's seat. When I first bought the truck a year ago, it took me a while but I never got it "perfect." Now, 10 minutes in and I have lower back pain. I loved the seats and positioning of my D1, which was a reason I was...
VT is Land Rover land, right up there with the Cape as far as the Northeast goes.
There's most definitely plenty of shops that would work on it. Try Congleton Service, they specialize in RRC restoration but they work on every Rover. They're in Colchester. (802) 879-0200.
you sure its engine related? I'd check out the wheel bearings first.
I plan on going 200k+ plus with mine, though I have a while to go before I get there.
Yea, as long as it's not flaking off or badly corroded you can go right over it. If you want to do it "right" I'd pick up the Eastwood branded product of your choice (some are for painting right over some rust, or heavy rust, or for a frame after you "clean" the rust off) first, then use the...
I planned on doing just a drain and refill, then I couldn't get the dumb plastic drain out of the plastic pan. It was frozen in there.
Ended up doing to pan swap anyway. But otherwise everything you said sounds good. my filter was totally clear with 57k miles on it.
These engines sounds like complete garbage. Smooth as glass though, so you shouldn't be able to tell it's idling besides the awful noise. If it sounds like an old London cab, it's correct.
The same upgrades for the 13 are available for the 10-12s. You can spend your money on navtool or naviplus (800-1200 bucks or so) or grab one from china through aliexpress. Those will run you 3-500. Just make sure you find the right one for the older system, the sellers on aliexpress are pretty...
Its a pain, but not difficult. Jack the suspension up to off-road height, lower and remove the spare. There are three (I think) bolts to remove the evap canister, remove those. You won't be able to take the canister out but it will be loose in place. There are two hoses for the pump, one big one...
I’m pretty inclined to listen to this guy. I’m almost ready to do an oil change again and will be sending back this sample to compare it to the JLR Castrol.
If your old crossover pipes are in one piece when you replace them, I'll pay shipping for them. I'm working on putting together a kit to replace the OEM plastic with metal/braided parts and AN fittings.
So, when you press Nav nothing happens? The CarPlay units literally just replace that.. you unplug the nav system and plug this CarPlay thing in. I have one in my 2013.
Thats the size I want to go to next if I want to upgrade from the 255/60-19 Toyos. Personally I think those tires are hot garbage though, and you're right about the weight. I don't want 18s unless they're alloys.
Actual dealers (most of the time) have some sort of integrity. I bought mine sight unseen from a BMW dealer 1200 miles away, and the truck was extremely well represented and the process was painless. Used car lots on the other hand are a joke.
Yes the timing chain stuff was supposedly changed end of 2012, but if the owner of the truck is still doing an oil change every two years or 15k miles, it doesn't matter. As for the work being performed, I wouldn't worry about it. I would try and get some sort of guarantee from the dealer for...
