    DII overheating part 2

    paid $4000 and spent $700 on doing the 65K mile service you recommended and fixing some of minor issues like door lock, broken tail light etc. I know I know I should have waited on doing the 65K mile service before making sure overheating issue is fixed. But it ran so fine, I didn't think it...

    DII overheating part 2

    Looks like my worst case senario or fear turned out to be true. :argh: Ok, so call me stupid to get into this mess but it's too late and I moved on. Now, I need to figure out the best wa to get out of this mess with minimal loss. Long story short, I bought this DII last month. Previous...

    Surround cameras? Worth it?

    I don't use it every day but it came in handy in several occations. It's not only for parallel parking. Camera works at any speed so sometimes when I got stuff in the back or 3rd row passengers where I can't really see much through rear view mirror, I turn on the camera, choose rear view...

    LR4 Windshield Defroster

    Oh we actually know it's the heating elements in the windshield and that's causing the annoyance for the original poster. My 2000 Discovery II also has it. Think of it this way. "Oh this is a cool feature that no other cars/trucks have... so cool! I love it!". It won't bother you no more.

    OK to use synthetic gear oil for limited slip diff?

    I just realized that the title of this thread is confusing. I mean to ask, is it ok to use the synthetic "gear oil designed for limited slip type" into D2? "instead of recommended straight syntehtic oil"? D2s don't have limited slip correct? I thought DiscoMike's recommended 60K miles...

    OK to use synthetic gear oil for limited slip diff?

    75W-90. $8.99 per qt. I bought 5 for now. At Oreilly auto. I now see that Autozone across the street has Mobil 1 straight synthetic oil for same price. Mobil1 any good? I might just get them instead. I am not comfortable with this "limited slip" thing.

    OK to use synthetic gear oil for limited slip diff?

    I picked up some bottles of Valvoline Synthetic gear oil to use for transfer case and differentials but just realized that these are for limited slip differential type. I know D2 don't have limited slip diffs. Would it be still ok to use these or better off getting the regular oil?

    2000 D2 pulling to side when braking

    It turned out that the issue was likely caused by the combination of two factors. 1st was over inflated (45psi) tire on driver side and underinflated (25 psi) on passenger side. 20 psi difference. I just got the truck so I assumed they should be ok. :mad: Second factor is the loose steering...

    For Sale: FaultMate MSV2, complete diagnostic configuration tool

    CORRECTION: I forgot the fact that cost is mostly for software not hardware. However, I was waiting on a response from the BlackBox solution to see if software can be upgraded/downgraded to different vehicle type and surprisingly they do allow this for a small admin fee. Basically, if you are...

    Disbelief that Xenon/LED’s are only available on a $9,565 package?

    Then my $59K HSE Lux Plus isn't special any more is it? It's so that people who likes to buy fully loaded models feel special and exclusive. Many car manufactors do that. They tie up certain options in a package and make some options only available on top of the line model. When it comes...

    Valve tappet noise or knocking when hot

    I meant to say low oil pressure warning light but I was thinking about coolant temperature gauge when I was typing it.. duh... And I realized that light only comes on when pressure is dangerously low to run then engine so it's not a dignostic tool. Anyway, I started up the engine today after...

    Valve tappet noise or knocking when hot

    What would be the 4 temperature ranges? So the fact that I don't get old temperature warning light doesn't mean pressure is good?

    sorry if this has been discussed previously, searching the archive is too hard :hmpf:. I either get way too many results or nothing at all. Anyway, the 2000 D2 I recently got will pull to right side when braking and left or right while driving. Steering doesn't feel that loose. Car only has...
