Suspension lift
Your measurements come off as if the the frame has been twisted (within LR production QC spec limits?) not a left vs right side sag differences. Frame straight but body sheet metal not straight or level at your measurement location points? Reading your measurements you should have handing... -

Quote for AC compressor R&R
I'm on an island in northern Calif. As far as an"independent" LR repair shops Mike Green an 'ex factory trained and honest LR mechanic. Mike hates stealerships with their ripoff high pricing. Quality of repairs by dealership example with replacing parts until the problem is finally solved then... -

Quote for AC compressor R&R
Careful quick and clean R&R shouldn't be a problem being a short duration exposure to the atmosphere. I'd go that route myself if I were you unless the compressor had some sort of mechanical failure and was spitting out small aluminum and metal particles hence plugging up down stream orifices... -

Quote for AC compressor R&R
AC in the summer or heater core failure in the winter, them parts know when to fail ya. I would put that puppy (LR) up on stands and go at it yourself taking plenty of pictures during the disassembly process. It's not rocket science for hell's sake they at LR can be trained so you can learn. I... -

Engine Rebuild
The only items requiring replacing is the ECU chip a piggyback two chips on 96 OB2 vs a single chip for 95 and older OB1 engines to properly fuel 4.0 or 4.6 engine as well installing a 4.6 airflow meter. You will have slightly less maximum power and but still run normal if you use your original... -

Getting Flashed
It should be the other way around with the many newer vehicles having super bright blue headlights, drivers not switching to low beam when approaching you. Not talking way out of alignment head lights coming at you or a POS vehicle with smashed in front end. The idiots that approach you on high... -

Air Conditioner Help Please
Just ran across your request, call me late for dinner AGAIN! If I were you i'd go to several LR dealership's parts departments and ask about the location of that rear AC fan unit. They have parts manuals which would have the fan's location. Second advice idea is to get a factory service repair... -

Replacement engine
The question is, for how long in hours or minutes and miles driven having all systems functioning at 100%? It's a test owning anything British and unique that draws us to ownership. I like a good challenge and I got one, so far i'm winning. -

Head gaskets... now camshaft and lifters?
Congrats and I hope you weren't thinking of me as busting your chops replies. On the crank, just checking and possibly replacing the rod bearings, this an easy task after removing and cleaning the pan of whatever was washed down including antifreeze. Do not rely on the "idiot light" as it will... -

Head gaskets... now camshaft and lifters?
After reading 130,000 miles and "all the springs and valves. All was perfect". Those original valve springs have done their job and are sacked out at that many miles with less than the minimum closed spec seat pressures. Added shims to old springs is a bad idea. The cost of new springs outweighs... -

Congrats, your up and running again. My laptop is at death's door, several attempts just to reply. BTW, 4 hole 15 degree injectors (balanced matched set) a vast improvement vs Lucas single dribble injectors. I built a cleaning an flow test plus a cold ram air intake this another hp plus. How... -

Head gaskets... now camshaft and lifters?
That's false insurance or thinking as these Rovers eat lifters and cams. Your lifters already made a worn in profile into the cam hence new lifters only your asking to redo everything at a later date like 20K miles later. Without miking the cam lobes your just guessing or hoping for the best... -

Putting 18" wheels on "96 Disco replacing 17"
FUSA, can you explain your "no longer true" rims in what direction there's a out of spec problem? I've seen rims that have an axial wobble left to right like after smacking into a curb or sliding on ice impact. Not a radial out of true or round from a straight in impact problem without rim bead... -

afchiefw, i'm amazed any 3.9, 4.0 or 4.6 has gone 132K with the factory cam, lifters and timing gear set as these Rovers have all these parts worn out by 60K miles. A slow death hence you not noticing the slow power reduction from new. Your still ahead by double the mileage of the newer "high... -
