    alternator - idea/thought

    I think usually what goes in a electric motor/generator/altinator is the brushes - right? couldnt you just replace the brushes instead of 300.00 for a remanufactured one? (I think I did this years ago with a toyota)

    Not the u-joint

    after replacing all of my u-joints I have come to a few conclusions: 1. yes they did help - especially the 'let off the gas thunk' 2. if I could just slow the hell down and not always be in a hurry and actually wait for the vehicle to relax (ie not shifting into reverse with potential energy...

    strange things

    I have noticed they are a little highter then others but tend to have everything.. you could also try British Pacific - I purchased my u-joint from them and they were half the price of others (same exact model # and all) (including Atlantic British) - but I priced several other things from them...

    black sticky fluid from rearview mirror?

    buying a used Land Rover......questions?

    why? My LR Disco - leaks like no ones buisness but runs great - I just keep the levels full I would ask for any vehical history that they might have. You may find a non-dealer shop that works on Landy's that may do a check - I found one in my area - (I also have a D1 not D2 - D2 more dealer)

    Thinking of buying a used Land Rover, I had BAD problems out of last Rover. Help

    I dont completely agree with the last post. I too have seen the problems on the forums - I also spent 3 months researching this vehicle. I was in the same position (I owned a Jeep 98') I considered buying a Jeep Cherokee - glad I didnt - everyone I know that has one has issues. My honest opinion...
