    Universal Land Rover Wiring Diagram

    That's great! The "take off your shirt" part brought back memories of the first time I worked on a drop down 12V panel on a boat in the hot sweaty Florida summer heat without wearing a shirt ----- I used to have chest hair!:Wow1:

    Discovery II front rotor removal

    Try shooting some of the PB back behind the rotor where it meets the hub. With a clear path - caliper removed and retaining screw removed - take a 3lb sledge and go for it! When installing the new you don't need to worry about that little retaining screw, they are only on thier to keep the...

    Vintage Motorcycles: When old becomes new again

    I have had a long time crush on the 2wd Ural! At first it was the Patrol:Wow1: And then last year they released the Sahara! :drool: Say what you want about reliability, that is what a tool kit and spare parts are for! The best part is that Amy has a huge affection for them as well. We'd...

    Anyone here have a BMW HP2

    I was looking through the Touratech book and the HP2 CAUGHT my eye! It really looks like a more aggressive adventure bike with great hwy capabilities as well. Curious that I have not seen more of them. The F650 and G800 seem to have more popularity for that size category. I think I want to...

    Fun Topic- Which Spark Plugs?

    Fun Topic- Which Spark Plugs?

    Additional word of caution: The manual says to access the coils by removing the air intake and throttle body. The other way to do it is to lay on top of the engine and squeeze your hands back behind the engine to access the coils - this is what I did. In the process I put pressure on and...

    With the vehicle off the compressor will not run to fill the system. To install the spacer - Disconnect the existing bag, the air pressure will escape, attached the spacer which clips into the bottom of the airbag, then install the bag-spacer combo just like you did the bag alone. Reconnect the...

    Fun Topic- Which Spark Plugs?

    Street Wolf, IMHO don't mess around with trying to figure out the spark plugs. This is one of those items it is best to just trust in the engineering that went into the vehicle to begin with. Many aftermarket options that are "marketed" well may not work well with the system and actually cause...
