Engine swap
DirtyHal, there smog checks in your state plus they allow different engine brand swaps with different displacement increase still able to be plated in your state? Had to ask as Kalifornia one of the worst smog Nazi states with Connecticut just as strict. Kalifornia. One other state rounding... -

Engine swap
This article sent to me by a now "ex Dodge truck owner who found issues with the V6 engine;https://carbuzz.com/news/why-new-ecodiesel-owners-need-to-beware-of-engine-failure. Weight of V6 must be heavier than the aluminum V8 to also consider. Sad a manual transmission is not available as that... -

Trailer light question
With 12.6 volt typical vehicle system voltage your around 16 watts or app 55 BTU/Hr heat generated at the power resistor. Mount it in an open area allowing heat dissipation and not up against anything. Any 25 watt power resistor will run a lot cooler than a 15 watt unit costing more plus larger... -

2013 LR4 5.0L Cold start knocking noise
If that's the fan clutch ticking while the fan is slowly spinning less than engine driven fan pulley speed you should then have a higher rpm ticking sound when the fan is carefully slowed down and stopped. BTW you living in a cold climate a block heater would be a good idea reducing cold warmup... -

Just hit 49,000 miles - extended warranty or roll dice?
Must add while Disco was in the dealership seven weeks waiting for replacement engine D1 hood became a storage space. On big cardboard box weighing 30 plus pounds dragged across the factory like new black gloss hood making two long scars in the finish. Engine removal by forcing the hood... -

AC isn’t cold
Pablo1987, did you check with both AC gauges to see if the high side is reading too high as well the AC system short cycling? This would point to the expansion valve not operating properly, stuck partically closed and failing. They are cheap while system is opened up. As with any AC system... -

Should I buy an extended Warranty?
Had to ask, how many Cats did you replace costing you $2,200 and were they replaced by a LR dealership or by a local muffler shop? Replacement due to a "spoiled" Cat due to engine misfiring, coolant or oil leakage into the exhaust system or mechanical off road impact damage to...- BeemerNut

Johnson loft and spacers
ar007, I had to ask, was there any back space difference and if any by how much switching from the 8.5" rim to a 9.5" rim? If the 9.5" back space is the same as the 8.5" rim then there is no issues plus you gained having a wider track stance overall times two (each wheel). If the added 1" rim...- BeemerNut

Just hit 49,000 miles - extended warranty or roll dice?
As mentioned above, third party extended warranty companies not covering LR's including a southern Calif. company called Western General. Hard as hell to get approval any repairs by them stalling for weeks,, hell months one time. Coverage for the failed part only plus way over too epensive... -

My apolgy to the cammer engine section. This morning my D1 Discocover ONE friend opened up his laptop and had this thread opened up telling me about a "Disco One" carboned up issue.

Intake Valve Cleaning
Your starter thread question "regards to the valves valves on our D1 engines". That covers 1994 to mid 1998 3.9/ 4.0 with a few 4.6 push rod engines sold in the US including 1990 3.5 engines sold in Europe. Your thread went off track highjacked instantly into LR3 & LR4 series OHC engines with... -

LR4 whining noise turned into a loud clicking noise now
Cloth strap wrench will not damage the pulley one bit, this should of been an easy fan removal. If you had a cast iron idler pulley most LR's had a snap ring (older D1's) allowing a $6.45 quality brand sealed bearing replacement, not some POS bearing from China. Even the cast iron idler when the... -

3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?
Modern day engines having tighter tollerances, manufactures pinching every tenth of a mpg out of their vehicles do recommend rather thin low viscosity oils. Say as example OW 5-20 wt oil, by 60 or 80K miles rods and mains plus cam journals have worn increasing internal clearances. Maintaining... -

cracking noise on left front wheel lr3
Ruper, I must apologize not answering your question. DIY installed Poly bushings first 18 then the rest two years later and 100% Poly. I consider them as an upgrade in handling and sharpness of steering even better than when brand new. Also replaced the rag joint rear driveshaft to diff joint... -

Oil Level Indicator - STUPID
True to a point but it depends on you being a smart buyer purchasing oil and filters on sale buying in bulk. My case 11 vehicles, 10 motorcycles I maintain in the family fleet.

Oil change intervals is out the window with several short cold starts with stop and goes in town driving. Talking 80 to 90 miles a year, yes it does happen, not to start another pissing war. I recall several months ago like six or eight plus that the cause of the cam timing chain guide's... -
