    Thinking of purchasing a discovery couple of questions

    P.S. Brad, If it has factory locking lug nut on each wheel & spare make sure they include the "Land Rover wheel lock key & work gloves" in the little plastic box. LRW.

    Thinking of purchasing a discovery couple of questions

    Welcome Brad! I paid more for same mileage 96 w/LOTS of headaches,but it was green, my wife wanted green! I have had NO REGRETS! Would buy a dozen more just to fill my driveway! Every moment is now like a tropical adventure, w/my wife's Disco sinking deeper into the soft gravel & sand. Check...

    Grinding noise @ takeoff??

    Welcome, Tab! My low-speed grinding noise occured after I trashed my 2nd Rotoflex about 6 weeks after I installed it. I really didn't think that such a small hill could put such stress on that coupling. As my then 9 year old son and I were looking under the Rover, him checking the rear end while...

    Lug Wrench

    One of the best tools, by far, that I've purchased, is NTC7829, the GIANT Lug Wrench! Paid about $20.00 two years ago. (@Rovers North, I think) Now on sale @ Atlantic British for only $12.95! Almost as cheap as the Lug Nut I had to replace after twisting the factory lug wrench to total...

    installing rear jump seats 97 disco

    Hello Rickshaw! I have installed 1 RH rear (Pass. side) seat in my D1 to hold my 4th child in. PITA, but do-able. I had my child install bolts in brackets because his hands were smaller. You need to make sure that you get ALL bolts, brackets, and the plastic surround with your seats because THEY...

    Hello all! My 96 has the alarm indicator in same location as the pics. Dust is good, but looks better on wood trim! I like the glow of the "CHECK ENGINE" lite. Is that a fresh bulb in there or what? hah hah! LRW

    A New Alternator for my D1

    Hello RoverChic! I really want a Mean Green alt. for my D1 too! If it's anything like my Mean Green starter it will be money well spent! As far as how long does an alt. last? I have seen many alts. go 2 to 3 hundred thousand mi. in our service fleet. 387,000 hard miles on the alt. in my last...

    Whats on your LR?

    Hello Everyone! I've had really good luck W/Hankook Dynamic MT 10 ply rated @ 80 psi but use 38-40 psi hiway & 15-25 on soft surface. Rotate @ 5k, last about 40000 flat free miles! They are less expensive & kind of noisy as they wear down.

    Jackall or Highlift?

    I have had my Hi-Lift for about 15 years now. 48" W/Jackmate has served me well dozens of times for lifting,winching,clamping,pushing, around the home, trucks, and at work. The stamped steel version will even fit fairly well into your 2" reciever! As always though, be very careful! LRW

    My Rubber Donut is Thrashed!!!

    Good Morning Everyone! I did driveshaft conversion from Dap inc. It was the second best thing I did for my Rover. My second coupling failed after just 1 month of install & an extremely gnarly hill climb. (3inch lift and I didn't bother to change the bushing when I changed the rotoflex) LRW

    Protecting Exhaust

    Hello! I have not had this problem w/Rover yet, but did experience muffler woes W/other (un-named) 4x4. I covered the frame rails + 10 inches on each side from control arms to radius arms w/1 large sheet of aluminum, punched in few places w/1 1/2 to 3 inch holes & adapted to fit under vehicle...

    Whats A Disco Worth

    Hello Dana! We had a 94 local here that sold for $2900.00 160000 mi. average shape. I think Sergei is right, buy it, you will love it and probably hate it sometimes, but mostly you will love it! Most parts are not as expensive as most people expect if you know where to find them. The Rover...

    Jump seat installation instructions...

    Shawn, did you get jump seat install completed? PITA I thought. I do have the "picture only" only (no words) instructions from Rover that came W/my seat. That's right, 1 seat that I installed for my youngest child to set in. He's 12 now & almost too tall to set in it. Does this make my Rover an...

    Stock Vs. Vented Rotors

    Hello Everybody! Getting ready to do rears again, think I will use dimpled rotors & standard pads. Probably Wagner thermo-quiet pads, from local Napa. I've never had good results W/kevlar pads. Short life but less rotor wear has been my experience. The company I work for tried kevlar on mine & a...

    Good Morning All! The large lug wrench is available almost anywhere rover parts are sold. Atlantic British &or Rovers North are where I got mine. Well worth the $16.95 or $19.95 that I had to pay. Someone has them on sale I'm sure, order one today, it's cheaper than messing up two lug nuts! By...
