I did. They helpfully gave me the names of some local dealers and told me to take it to them. I'd rather fix it myself.

I like simple shower systems vs anything with a pump. We use a gravity fed shower and a head from an old solar shower. With that system, me, my wife, and my 19-year-old daughter can all shower with less than the contents of a 5 gallons water can. Using the built-in shower system in our Sprinter...

Our Sprinter came with a Carefree of Colorado awning that extends and retracts with a hand crank. The PO hardly ever used it. There is some sort of clutch or loose coupling inside, because when we try and retract it, you can feel slippage in the mechanism. It takes 3 people to retract it. One to...

I hooked one of the lights up Saturday night and shone it into the golf course across the street. The trees 180 feet away were brightly illuminated. The ones 800 feet away were visible but much less so. The bright spot was 30 or 40 feet wide at 180 feet. So I am guessing it is the "spread beam"...

Thanks all. They have 3 wires, implying 2 bulbs, so I took one apart. Looks like it has the "city" lights. I am not sure about the utility of those. I will hook one up tomorrow night and check out the beam pattern.

Hi All, We picked these lights up at the local junkyard. I think they are Hella 4000s, but there are no identifying numbers on the outside. If they are 4000s, there are 4 different versions of those, so how do I tell which. We'd like to put them on our 95 Disco. We drive a lot at night in elk...

Thanks everyone for all your input. The signal to noise ratio here is far better than anywhere else I looked. Hopefully others find this thread useful. Thank you Shovel for summing up my concerns in such a short statement. "Looks brighter" is a problem in other places that automotive lighting...

A couple of weeks ago while traveling after dark on I-17 in Arizona, we saw a couple of vehicles on the shoulder ahead with their hazards on. I slowed down from 65 mph to 55, and was glad I did because the reason those vehicles were there was because one of them had just hit an elk, and the...

Channel 3 in Phoenix did a story on the vehicles: https://www.azfamily.com/news/features/overland-expo-brings-ultra-off-road-campers-to-flagstaff/article_d84f793e-7a79-11e9-856c-4f55d4f631e9.html

After 14 years as a part of our family, it is time to let this go. 1968 Land Rover Series IIA Dormobile Factory Authorized Original Dormobile conversion Right Hand Drive Original 2.6 litre Six Cylinder Engine $45,000, price is negotiable. This is not a museum piece, we used it as the...

Flushed the lines, installed the lift, installed the 235/85-16 tires with 1/2 tread life we had lying around, and took it for a couple of test drives. Today we drove down to the grasslands south of Sonoita on the Mexican border - it performed flawlessly. Well, except the driver's exterior door...

Yes, transmission cooler lines are in the future. I wish they weren't one-piece, the upper connection on the transmission looks horrible to replace. I may cut the tube down lower and flare it for AN fittings. We got the filter replaced. Allways an adventure, but at least it is good...

She decided she wants a lift so that is what we will do. At least the tires will be interchangeable with those on her Mom's RRC. We found the ATF in it was black, so we drained and refilled it and took it for a drive. It was then a really dark red so we are draining it and swapping the filter...

Okay, thanks. She will just have to put in some more hours to pay for new tires or a mild lift, then. Does she need to do the Rotoflex to u-joint conversion if she does the lift?

We recently bought a 1995 Discovery 1 with an almost perfect exterior and a nice interior for much less than half the price of an iPhone. It drives really nice, but had a blown head gasket. Following the tradition of Land Rover turning owners in the mechanics since 1948, and since I had just...

Nice writeup. Congrats on the baby. Ours just turned 18 - it seems like yesterday we took her camping for the first time when she was 3 months old.

Green acme nut? How do I get one?

That is exactly why we used a Blue Sea ACR 7610 in our Range Rover when we drove to Central America. The last thing we wanted was problems in Guatemala. Even though it is mounted under the hood, it still works perfectly 4 years later. We have forded quite a few deep creeks since then, too. We...

Just to add another datapoint, I installed the 7605 in our Dormobile since it had the ACR and charger in a small foot print, and space was a premium. It has worked well for two years. We have this, a combiner switch, and the starting and house batteries under the left front seat. Not much room...

Thanks. I thought it was a major engineering effort and you confirmed it.
