Thanks for the info on antiseize! I didn't know about the coating meaning it wasn't required. I will be loosening and retorquing these right away then, as according to that info they should then be ok.

Hello all, My spark plugs were due, and upon finding out that LR specs the NGK IFR5N10 (Laser Iridium) at over $20 CAD, I began some research. Many had warned against using anything but the NGK laser iridium. NGK, when using their database recommends the Laser IFR5N10 Iridium as OE Series, and...

As to the comment about the Transit in the snow... They are terrible. I work for an ambulance service in a very rural area. We recently switched from modular Type 1 amublances based on a GM 3500 chassis and 4x4 to the Ford sprinter. It is a common ambulance used in other countries, though not...

For anyone looking in the future, LR015339 is the part number. If you need a new bracket it is RBU500100

Thought I'd throw this in for anyone looking to build this in the future out of 5'x5' Baltic birch plywood sheets. Here's the layout my program came up with. The free version only allowed so many parts, so the Table shelf- 20"x36" and rear panel 12"x42" are not on the diagram. However, you can...

There you go, those ones look hard to beat. Good price and size.

These look pretty skookum (and pricey), though I have no experience with them. http://www.foxtaillights.com/product/pmc-914s-mv/

I agree on avoiding the remotes. I have found some led light strips with an inline remote that would be great. However, they are a little dim; only about 66 lumen/foot.

How about and LED light strip along the awning edge, with a remote to turn it on/off? https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-controller-kits/universal-weatherproof-led-light-strip-full-kits-led-tape-light-with-9-smdsft-3-chip-white-smd-led-5050/2580/ Or a 30W flood with a remote? (on...

Found 6 of the 26 service history records from LR. The ones I found were from 114k-140k and largely suspension problems. Complaints of grinding noises multiple times. Track rods and control arms replaced twice in that period. I knew control arms needed replacement but that often? Was that a...

I have checked and read on the LR forums. This truck is an '05 LR3 With 213000 kilometer. Dealer trade in at a Kia dealer. Originally listed at 15000 and now on "Christmas sale" for $8800. PO claims it was dealer maintained except I can't find which dealer. I'll keep working on that. Had a Kia...

How about a high mileage lr3? Is that Jag v8 good for many km? What about the rest of the platform? As far as I can tell from the rover maintenance schedule it will be due for coolant and ATF/Diff fluids.

For a small jump in price I've found a '05 LR3. Now, I know the '05 isn't the most reccomended but over a D2 my understanding is its a large jump in reliability. My only concern is its high miles. 130000 mi. Would any of you be concerned at those miles IF it has been well maintained. I'm working...

The plan would be to buy, and spend the next several days doing all the major fixes and maintenance necessary. I live near a driveline shop, rebuilding the driveshafts won't be an issue. I like to immediately get the vehicle up to snuff before I start daily driving it.

As I've been shopping and poking around under the hood of a few they don't seem all that difficult to work on. I'm used to older BMW cooling system problems, and the upkeep that comes with that. Changing water pumps and timing belts often. I'm feeling slightly more confident in getting a D2. I...

Thanks guys, this is the kind of stuff I was looking for! I've been reading through old threads to see what little problems come up. Everyone says it's constant maintenance but it can be tough to find what little things are being worked on aside from the major, well documented problems.

Hello all, I've been researching D2's for some time now, and even with all my searching I can't quite find one bit of info I'm looking for. We all know that the D2 takes some upkeep over and above what many other vehicles require. You have to be comfortable working on them yourself. I also know...

There certainly is. Pull back your carpet in the back. Right above the fuel tank you'll find a panel bolted in to the floor of the body. 6-8 bolts (can't quite remember) and the panel come out, right above where the pump and sender are bolted in to the tank. If you need to fully remove either...

As for roof racks... If you buy brand names, especially Rover of Toyota specific parts, you'll be paying more than you need to. I have and use a contractor Van aluminum rack. Our Paj's have rain gutters, and these racks are all meant to attach to rain gutters. I'd recommend getting the high rise...
