    I had the same trouble code. I racked my brain, two mechanics couldn't figure it out then a third mechanic poured water over the intake manifold and said, "hear that?"....I heard nothing but he said the injector seals were bad. $140 fixed the problem. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Mojave Road #2 - 10/20/2017

    We decided to camp in the dirt. One other vehicle will be joining us. Anyone who wants to join us can contact me. As we get closer we can coordinate and pick a camp spot and decide on where to meet the rest of the group in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Land Rover Registry

    I love seeing them getting used for what they were designed for. So many people buy Rovers to get the badge and then, like the previous owner of mine, don't know how to put them in 4wd. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Mojave Road #2 - 10/20/2017

    I am concerned about leaving my rig in the hotel parking lot. We would like to camp somewhere near the beginning of the trail or at the meet up point. As we get closer if there are other people who would like to join us we can organize a camp site location. If anyone is familiar enough with the...

    04 Disco II "Mel"

    I feel really bad because MS_Disco started this build thread and it has turned into Disco owners thread. Please excuse me MS_disco but I need to lean on my fellow Discovery owners experience one more time. I have the 18" wheels. What is the lowest tire pressure you run? Land Rover seems to put...

    Airing down.

    Airing down depends on the vehicle weight, tire/wheel size and trail conditions. I can not stress how important airing down is. 1) the comfort inside is so much better because you don't feel every little rock. 2) the off road abilities of your vehicle goes up tremendously. Also consider the...

    04 Disco II "Mel"

    The thing I like best about the Chevy 180 is how it sits at 183 on the trail. I can let it idle all day and it never gets above 190. I drilled one 3/32" hole to let air out. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    04 Disco II "Mel"

    I had Q&E do the sleeves. They are minutes from where I work. I also did the Chevy thermostat conversion which stabilized my temps. I run 184 most of the time. It climbs to 204 when I am going up a grade. Huge improvement over the 220-230 temps I got before the rebuild. I did the rebuild...

    This is a great source for info: http://robisonservice.blogspot.com/2013/10/should-you-rebuild-or-replace-your-land.html?m=1 Looks like it is Lucky8 doing the conversion. No kit is available yet, they are only doing it in-house. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    04 Disco II "Mel"

    It is a bad motor. As I understand the story Rover built the Discovery they designed it the have the TD5 motor it was unable to pass emission laws in the US. Sooo, rover bought the tooling from GM for their Buick motor. Worn out tooling plus a poor design produced countless motor failures under...
