5.0 Injector Lifespan? Worth replacing during Timing Chain job?
Replacing injectors with only 66K miles on them is a big waste of money but a big profit to whoever is doing the work. Injectors can perform like new if they are first flow checked and recorded before cleaning then been flushed forwards and backwards. Checked flow amounts ending up with a... -

2001 Discovery 2 power steering pump
Joey, do the D2's Disco still use the ZF pump like used on the D1's Disco? I keep in contact with three other D1 owners. One 94 5-spd, one 95 5-spd, one 95 automatic not counting my 95 D1 5 spd. All of us except my 95 at 142K, the others between 160 and 190K miles with zero ZF pump problems... -

2001 Discovery 2 power steering pump
If your D2 is like my 95 D1 the molded hose to pump inlet is a source of a leak. The hose becomes soft and mushy while operating in a high heat enviroment as if PS fluid is attacking the rubber hose. Make it a habit checking the hose clamps for tightness, another issue. I'm on my third hose... -

cracking noise on left front wheel lr3
"Lifetime" tie rod ends and ball joints from the factory are just that, they fail at end of their lifetime. Short lived more like it Non zerk fitting ball, tie rod ends plus anti roll bar links flat suck. Aftermarket replacements usually come with zerk fittings (not all) allowing joints to be... -

cracking noise on left front wheel lr3
Just for ha, ha's, swap wheels front to rear on the side making "cracking noise" eliminating a cracked rim spoke as the cause. Under vehicle routine inspections of the CV boots for rips and tears due to age or road object impact catching a problem before damaging a CV joint. A lot cheaper... -

4-Wheel Alignment
Even any "El Cheapo" 20K mile max life tyre should go the distance with properly aligned vehicle. Unless it was rear tyre excessive wear due to rearend squat on hard acceleration, my guess toe-out is too excessive vs camber. Do LR3's or 4's going into a turn tjhat spec the rears going from a... -

4-Wheel Alignment
Has anyone thought about establishing "their"normal driving ride height, taking measurements at all four corners? Fabricating and installing four struts that will hold up the body (frame, what frame?) to spindle hubs preventing air bag (computer?) bleed down? A properly built suspension... -

Wheel hub lugs c/w bearings?
Dorman a high quality automotive replacement parts manufacture. Studs alone can be replaced provided you get the same knurled area diameter, length and threaded area diameter. At $17.97 a set of ten is way cheaper than complete hub replacements. Easy to replace with a press or vice and a short... -

Has anyone had headgasket done?
KTM525's impressed me with their low weight, high hp and 11:1 compression. The G80TCS Matchless I lowered the compression to a street friendly factory 8.7:1 compression piston. The racing 12.3 CR is not practical on the street. The Typhoon, (1959 to 61 only 125 made) has a special 89mm bore... -

Has anyone had headgasket done?
KTM525, I'd rather thump my 61 G80TCS. Parts are out there for LR4's already, just have to look wide and deep for them at the right prices, right times. Not going to happen right away. Scouts or friends always on the lookout sure expands your parts findings success. Having the mechanical... -

Oil in intake manifold
C Any LR4 bulletins out regarding your oiling problem? Sure bet any LR problems you tell the dealerships will tell you your the first one with this problem. This a standard LR dealership reply i've found. My wifey and Land Rover also a bad combination at my end with her being stranded... -

Has anyone had headgasket done?
"Not made by the same company" Yup correct you are, 4.6 / 4.6 made in England, LR4's 5.0 by FoMoCo aka Ford as on the 2011 LR4 engine's cylinder heads. I always knew Ford was a "premium brand". At my end all licensed aircraft mechanics (A&P) rebuilding aircraft radial engines for a living also... -

Oil in intake manifold
Any possible way of flushing it out with scarb cleaner like Berrymann's B12 cleane then a solvent wash? Oil / vapor seperators have baffles as well aluminum pot scrubber material packed inside only requiring flushing out then air blasting dry for reuse. Worth a try unless they are giving away... -

Oil in intake manifold
"several ounces of oil" from one day of driving has me asking questions about the engine's overall internal mechanical condition. Mileage plus how it was driven and maintained all it's life? Compression check, talking a bleed down compression check establishing condition of the rings causing... -

Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick
I'd rather have a Cayman than a 911 then reworked for more HP than the 911 and see who is a better handling car not alone Cayman's sexy lines. A OH NO at Porsche keeping the 911 as their king of the mountain (money) model since 1965 (early 1966) model year. I'm old skool favoring my dad's (now... -

Coolant leak from Transmission?
Do the old skool taste test, sweet tasting almost a clear fluid is anti freeze, almost clear but bitter is brake fluid. Heck i'm still alive, that third nipple does me no harm. No taste slightly tinted and tan unless dirty and dark brown, engine oil. Ya got to love the engineered design of... -

Has anyone had headgasket done?
Dang bro, $4-$8K is way out of control. Early D1's like my 95 had single layer steel head gaskets that were known to weep and leak by LR with replacements contacting me. Rover's replacements of thicker composition gaskets lowering stock 9.35:1 compression down to 8.75:1 or lower numbers. I... -

Forget about original LR cats including their complete OEM exhaust system unless you really enjoy flushing money down the drain. Owning a LR you'll already pay twice, once at day of purchase then a second time in dollar amount maintained by LR only keeping it alive for ten years. With your... -

Disco 5 hit with the ugly stick
From what ktm525 mentioned as well others all looking the same "ugly" different models is a result of the same vehicle just depends on how long the vehicle was being crushed in a trash compactor. GM, Toyota, Ford, Kia all looking the same, just change out the plastic manufacture's names on... -

Where to find a parts book?
Check with your favorite LR dealership you frequent and check with the parts person for one of their parts catalogs. They upgrade on average (been told) every six months and ask for one of their "obsolete catalogs" for your vehicle. I have one for my 95 D1 5-speed Disco that shows about every... -

Has anyone had headgasket done?
Miss firing due to no spark is a bad thing with unburnt fuel overheating, melting and possibly totally destroying the cat converters. Add anti freeze coolant another fluid that also destroys cats and O2 sensors. Once up and running properly if you purchased this mess (run not walk away) I would...
