    Discovery Head Gasket Bolts

    I know a certain DII that just had a HG failure on studs. It's not the end-all solution. I say get the TTY bolts from D&D and call it good ...

    Iveco challenge for the Defender?

    nailed it. Nothing is knocking the 1/2 ~ 3/4 ton pickup and 1 ton utility back trucks off their perch.

    Maintenance items/Other questions...

    send them in to a cleaning service and have them flowed pre/post service. if you don't do this, you'll never know if the injectors were actually bad or if you should be chasing some other problem. A lot of mechanics won't bother with this kind of trouble, but if you have the time and are...

    Another LR in the works!

    It's probably a good idea to just go ahead and refresh all the ignition stuff and do a thorough tune-up. new coil, ignition amplifier, cap 'n rotor, plugs, and good plug wires. stick with stock parts and avoid the temptation of using a hotter coil - the ecu hates it. congrats on the new rig...
