land rover

I've got a 1993 V8 RRC that's refusing to leave the garage. It ran fine 3 years ago. No power to the in-tank fuel pump. Wiring checks out fine. Relay under the seat isn't powering up. Relay checks out fine disconnected. Relay socket has live feed and is getting power when ignition is switched...

Not sure how much traffic there is on this site for rover content, but I'm trying to find some background on underdrive versions. I've been wanting the additional gearing of an underdrive for some time. I Just stumbled across an older used underdrive to possibly buy. From pictures the attachment...

Hi all, I have a 95 RRC LWB that has been sitting in a humid environment for about 7 years. The original wiring had been hacked together by the redneck PO, but the thing did run and drive. I’ve finally gotten to working on it again and while I haven’t spent a ton of time screwing with the...

2012 LR4. Any ideas for a fix besides taking it to a dealer? I somehow managed to put it in this mode while trying to diagnose the air bags not coming up using a bluetooth autel dongel and Diag-Europe app but nothing on the app will revert it. Id like to avoid paying AE $230 for an easy...

Took my son on on a 3 day adventure in our stock 1965 2a109, it's the whipsaw trail in British Columbia Canada.

Parting out my rover. Lots of good stuff Voyager Rack $800 obo (they retail for $1688), If you want the KC lights with it we can talk price. Great Basin Rover build differentials. 4.43 gears. Detroit truetrack rear, ARB front. $1000 obo (I paid a fortune for these diffs) Terra Firma HD...

Starting back in 1971 Landrover setup the Trans-Americas expediation with a pair of new Range Rovers. They drove from Alaska down through central and south America to Cape Horn. The hard bit of course was the Darien Gap. 250 miles of jungle and swamp. They had 64 people total in the...

Thinking about picking up a Rover with a 4.2 and auto with Trutrac and 4.10s. I don't know shit about Rovers. What am I getting into? It checks a lot of boxes for me since my Montero SAS hasn't gone very far. Sounds the Borg t-case is a weak link. Is a 230 all that it's cracked up to be. The...

Selling my moderately built Land Rover Disco 1. Needs a motor as the stock one slipped a sleeve. I pulled the motor to diagnose the issue. I have all the parts but recommend an LS Swap. Looking for $4500 obo. Located in SoCal. 99 Disco 1 GBR 4.43 diff gears ARB front air locker Detroit True...

Feeler Post. Anybody interested in buying my rover? motor slipped a sleeve and I pulled it out. I have the motor and bits with it. It was a nice and comfortable rig until the motor blew a while ago. Located in SoCal. 4.43 gears from Great Basin Rovers ARB Front Locker, Detroit True Track rear...

I have a Disco 1 that ate the 4.6 motor (slipped sleeves). 4.6 was put in years ago after the 4.0 died of the same ailment. Trans and LT230 are in perfect working order. Does anybody want the drivetrain? What is a fair price I should ask? I am planning to put all GM motor/trans/tcase in it...

I have always liked Land/Range Rovers but the reliability reputation has always scared me. I know nothing about them other than internet reputation. Don't even know anyone personally who owns one to ask. I have had the bug to buy a new DD/beater and get rid of my shitbox Honda. I drive 30...

Anybody have a lead on a healthy 4.0 or 4.6 on the west coast? I don't have the $$$ to pony up on a Turner or AB motor with the sleeves fixed and what not. My rover slipped a sleeve and needs a new heart. Thanks! -Kyle

I've had thoughts of pulling a Rover V8 from the junkyard for years, converting the engine management to TBI/MPI GM (or even a carb) as a lightweight engine swap option in a light rig (Toyota or similar). There are more than a few of these in the junkyards around here and I like light and...

Hey guys, new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. Had some 4x4s in highschool and college. Chevys and yodas. Thinking I wanted to get something more unique for my next vehicle. Looking at late 80s early 90s Defenders. Wanted to see what’s more desirable the 90s or 110s. Short...

What are y'all using for upgraded axle shafts? Have you had good luck with them? And, what is your rig setup/wheeling style. I'm planning a Rubicon trail run next summer with my Disco 1 and wouldn't mind having better axle shafts/cv's in it before then. Cheers!

Howdy Folks! The engine in my Discovery 1is starting to have some concerning knock when its cold. I suspect its days are numbered. Here are two questions: 1) Any recommendations on keeping this alive longer? It sounds fine when warm but pretty wicked when cold. 2) Who makes the best...

Been picking up 10+ rovers a few times now. On my second one that needs severe engine work. Overheated so bad it melted a piston. N/A 5.0 from a sport.

I made a thing. These are photos of the thing. I like the thing. Look at my thing. :grinpimp: I imagine this style bumper would fit a rang rover too but IDK. I wanted to keep it high and tight. Winch is wired to the dash for controls too, so I could hit the relays and make it clean.

I was driving home from work the other day and decided to drop my Disco into 4low and run up in the hills. 20 feet up the hill I heard a loud bang that I thought was a rock kicking up into the fender. I backed down the hill and noticed the ground on the hill was wet. I hopped out to find my...
