magnaflow on LR4 - any ground clearance issues?
Sound bite videos on your computer are way off vs in person. On another note one brand of muffler your liking plus exhaust piping system being different in bends, lengths and diameters throws sound way off. Add to the mix one chosen muffler on the same displacement engine keeping piping equal or... -

Any Bosch 4306 Platinum plus 2 spark plug reviews for the 4.0 & 4.6 engines?
Just because LR mentions what to use it's not the only and best choice. Pick anti-freeze, depending on who is supplying the cheapest coolant is what LR recommends. Visiting a dealership to chat with the service writer as well a couple mechanics as personal friends. Coolant of the month could be... -

Differences between a Discovery 4 from Mex and an US LR4
Screw thje DMV Nazi organization and register vehicles and bikes by AAA. Pop in a MPH speedo. Last told bikes and vehicles must have 7,500 plus miles then considered used vs under ant taxed differently. You might want to consider a 49 state bike vs a Kalifornia only bike with their not so... -

Wanted: LR3 Wheels OEM 18x8 'grooved' 10 spoke.
Take---Offs are one of the best ways to get clean straight set of rims off a shop not as cheap as private party purchases. I still want to see mounted and spun rims before buying period! StockWheels I bet all their rims they had mountedand spun then checked for any flaws vs shipping out crap... -

Wanted: LR3 Wheels OEM 18x8 'grooved' 10 spoke.
LB Bill, I had a double take when I quick read Stockwheels thinking Stockton Wheels out in Calif. closed their doors years ago. The owner took the easy way out in life, a shocker for us into building up steel wheels. Different hoops and offsets to centers on our project vehicles. Pre 64 T Bird... -

Wiper Linkage/Transmission Replacement
Checking torque afterwards is a lot cheaper than replacing parts a second time around. I'm not the type that replaces their battery once a year either in the Pre- Pre- Pre Preventive group of LR owners. Just a common sense, basically a mechanical type person.....~~=o&o>.... -

Wiper Linkage/Transmission Replacement
No mention what the material was made of for the tapered male spline and the female end on the wiper arm. The screw securing the arm to the tapered spline a plain or coated screw with locking compound like Loctite (Henkel) product on it? If plain and were my venicle I would recheck the screw... -

Wiper Linkage/Transmission Replacement
No this can't be having Duct Tape bumped from first to second place on the "there I fixed it" list? Sounds like someone didn't properly torque down the wiper arms be it LR factory (not the first time finding factory faults) on down the current vehicle owner. Undamaged it's a good idea after... -

Wanted: LR3 Wheels OEM 18x8 'grooved' 10 spoke.
I second your opinion. I hear ya, i'm near the S.F. bay area and a lot of LR parts are from back east. Must add, salted roads plus owners allowing metallic pad rust buildup that attacks the clearcoat finish another consideration to look out for. Detailed out bad finished rims, base with... -

Wanted: LR3 Wheels OEM 18x8 'grooved' 10 spoke.
Priced right but bet shipping across the country would possibly kill the deal. Best to see wheels in person unless photos sent showing closeup cherry or any damage. I'd mount and spin them first on a hub to make sure the rims spun true be it used or new rims. Bent rims due to the tyre clowns... -

2011 V8 Exhaust
Borla Cat back muffler all stainless no worries 21 years and counting not having rusted out muffler and exhaust system. Sounds like a 289 Mustang with Glasspacks when stirring the stick at 5,600 w/5 speed plus has a nice rumble sound. Not that crappy FlowMaster high school kids sound. Drone free... -

1992 Land Rover Discovery Camel Trophy - Grab it if you have the scratch
Having it registered in Kalifornia, forget about it. It smokes plus burning oil a sniff test instant fail plus a diesel and not 50 state approved. Rather expensive garage trophy. Presently doing battle with a 84 XL600 Honda bike being it's a 49 state bike and has under the 7,500 miles minimum... -

Control Arms or Warped Rotors?
Did the thread starter first remove wheels and check wheel bearings and suspension for wear and suspension play? Measured rotors all around to check and elimate any swelled rotors issues? Checked rotors for runout or wobble with a dial indicator then sanded the rotor surfaces, reinstalled wheels... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
You should only deal with smog reading all systems, "green" vs a "red" being a fault or a Check Engine Light fail. No computer hookup with older OB1 vehicles instead requiring the visual, carbon vacuum line disconnect checking the evap system as well gas cap for function. Only then the... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
You in a state that requires smog checks? Bummer if so. If so running an engine that pumped anti freeze out the exhaust kills catalytic converters. They can be an expensive adventure added to your final repair bill......~~=o&o>....... -

Fun with Tire Plugs...
Slime will also mess up the low air pressure warning sending units mounted inside the rims. Plugs are intended as an emergency quick fix only and not a repair to be driven until the tyre is worn out which many people extend and drive after plug jobs. Always have a can of patch cement not the... -

Engine gone - No oil light came on
Sorry late reply, I do not hang around LR forums much as I have a trouble free 95 D1 after several years of tricks and modifications. Gas and go. With LRNA they are worse than asking the mafia for $10K and not paying them back. They did cover labor and parts like gaskets not on LR's list. The... -

Engine gone - No oil light came on
Why not install an oil pressure gauge vs waiting for the IDIOT light to POSSIBLY go on before you destroy an engine? What happened to the low oil pressure sensor unit that shut down the fuel pump saving the engines? Oil pressure gauge the first upgrade to the 95 D1 the second week of ownership... -

Discovery 4 soft brakes suddenly
Since you mentioned it's not the master cylinder but my guess it couls be passing fluid past a piston seals or the vacuum brake booster starting to fail. Fluid levels in the master rock solid and at the right level? You have to apply three to four times more than normal brake pressure to... -

Johnson loft and spacers
What is the diameter of the spacer lip OD and the rim concentric contact area ID? The clearance amount if proper should be just enough to mount the rim and not a sloppy fit or one with a lot of clearance. You shouldhave zero vibration issues at any speeds as well able to repeat having perfect...- BeemerNut

Johnson loft and spacers
Mike, note the short lip sections below that span across the larger diameter open clearance casting of the Disco 1 rims not contacting the concentric areas of the rim at all hence useless like flat spacers.

Sorry late to dinner as I randomly bottom feed only on the Disco One fourms. No clue about your "303" spacers.

Any Bosch 4306 Platinum plus 2 spark plug reviews for the 4.0 & 4.6 engines?
It's been several years running Champion plugs and was told back in 2000 to only use Champion plugs made especially for and only sold at LR dealerships. I say BS to that as Champs from auto parts stores look and functioned identically and at 1/3 the cost. I did not find any different brands of...
