  1. Ashcroft Underdrive

    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...
  2. Stand alone wiring harness for RRC?

    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...
  3. Air suspension Not in customer mode

    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...

    95 RRC W/4.2 am I a HIGH?

    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...

    Teach Me To Land Rover

    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...

    I need a Motor

    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

    Original Rover V8 engine swapping

    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...
  14. Defender 90 vs 110

    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...

    Rover Axle Shaft Upgrade Options

    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!

    Rover Engine Replacement

    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...

    DIY Discovery Winch Bumper Build

    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.

    Discovery 1 Cooling Fan Saga

    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...

    1990 Defender 110 Exoskeleton Questions

    How functional is the exoskeleton of a 1990 Land Rover 110? I don't see any triangulation in the design. I'll assume the points/base of the cage hoops is mounted to a hard point(?). I'm pondering (this week anyway:flipoff2:) on whether to do this on my '94 FS Bronco. BTW; I love the...
