I'd rather drive my D1.

That’s a keeper.

Joint universel, qui permet Les Deux parties de l'arbre de transmission de continuer a fonctinner quand une partie change son angle envers l'autre.

+1^ to all of the above. I too had to do it. IF you can get it off intact, i.e bolt/stud holes, threads etc , then do take it off skim it and cut all the webbing away. I had to use left hand drill bits etc etc, and still ended up having to do...

It's an easy job if the studs don't snap or damage the threads in the head.

A couple of the guys on D2BC have fitted that one - apparently just needs the connector on the cable changing for the one from the old fan.

That is a real shame. This one...

Yeah, Rockauto for mine as well

This is the motor, but currently out of stock. I know many have used it. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1408527&cc=0&pt=6920&jsn=3

Well they are both aircooled as well! My dad had one, a firm's car so I never worked on it. My wife's Chesil Speedster is powered by a very tuned VW aircooled flat four and talking to the mechanic at Chesil was how I found out that they have...

Similar, Citroen GS/GSA! Flat 4, but that is where the similarity ends I think.

:eek: Mad! I have owned a car which had no head gasket, but it was designed that way...

Eh?? It's a Land Rover;);)

ERR7247 I think. Maybe the ring was thieved from the box. Happened to me on various parts.

Thank you for confirming that. And good luck with your oil pump bolt. Don’t envy you, at least mine is all accessible from the top!

Well, it’s happened again, this time from the cylinder head end, last time from the FPR. The diesel slick behind and the diesel stink made me think something may be wrong!! Luckily I was only a road from home and just got into the drive. The...

Great news!

Okay so sump off and check crankshaft for damage taking one main crank cap of at a time and then replacing they have stamped numbers on 1 to 5 the only one that was damaged was No 3 where the crank main bearings had spun but managed to get...

Quick update, the pump was fitted today, all good and working perfectly , been out in it this evening and I’m happy to report its running fantastically , everything as it should be and running like clockwork 😁👍

Agreed x 2 !

You are correct! From the LR Diesel Engine TD5 manual: Fracture split con-rods The con-rod is identical in design to the con-rod fitted to the Freelander L series engine. It is a fracture split con-rod. This means that the big end bearing cap...

It Passed, only 1 advisory , it has an oil leak.......dont they all

Crikey i know land rovers are bad.. but rusty glass!?!?

Of course! It is a proper engine, not a computer with bits of iron, steel and aluminium bolted onto it!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Nothing at all except drive it. God I love my D2 its brilliant.

You are in the same boat as a lot of us as regards only having a driveway to work on, that is where I have to do all my work.. What is massively bizarre is that the bloke who moved in next to us has more LR products than you can shake a stick...

During the winter my screen started to crack and delaminate, on the driver side bottom of the screen, I put a bit of glass glue on it to stop it going all the way, anyway with the good weather and just finishing off the door replacement , I book...

A disco 2 on air springs won’t wallow like you think. Definitely worth considering unless your mind is set on a disco 3. But then a low spec on coils will also wallow like a disco 2 on coils.

A friend of mine had a disco 3 and her experience put me off getting one. Aside from the ridiculous excise duty, it had two failed TDV6 engines. After the second failure, unsurprisingly it was sold. This is probably quite an extreme case but both...

I thought you were asking questions about the potential cost of owning a D3? Find some for sale, see if you like them, check them over and post the pics/reports on here and you’ll get some valuable feedback on the actual vehicles. If you don’t...
