Had the car for 2 months now with 144k on the clock. Decided to change all the fluids including gearbox. Bought the cheaper oil by Smith and Allan M1375.4, drained the box and refilled 4ltrs of new oil. This solved many issues with gear change and judder when climbing hills. A week later I...

I recently had to do an urgent replacement of the front most U joint on the Borrego. It was gone and just short of catastrophic failure. It started vibrating very suddenly while I was a long way from help, so nursed it home.... I searched in vain at all the local auto parts for quality U...

In my 1994 RRC I replaced the IACV with a generic Chevy unit a few years ago. It does function, but the distance per step is too far. Meaning it will open the valve on engine shut off, but when it closes it, it happens too fast (each step moves the valve face too much). When cold, not an...

Hey guys... like most P38's my subs were rotted out and sounded even worse. On my last go-round with the Rhino I replaced the subs with some Rockford Fosgates that sounded pretty decent... this time I came across some Lanzar MaxP64 subs that had halfway decent specs and even better... they were...

There are soooo many code readers out there...I am looking for an inexpensive unit that will read the L322 codes and then be able to reset engine light or even the oil change, yet that may need a more sophisticated tool...any recomendations on a unit?

I have a lead on a cheap 3.9 engine with ancillaries I was thinking about grabbing as a backup to my 4.2. From what I gather the blocks and heads should be the same. The idea here is to have a machined block and fresh heads ready to go int he case that my 4.2 takes a crap on me. What are the...

I replaced my heater matrix about 12 months ago with this unit: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nissens-71145-Exchanger-interior-heating/dp/B00CKPYPOK Bought it on eBay, U.K. But I guess Amazon now has it. It is exactly the same fit as the Land Rover oem and no leaks to date. Even with shipping from...

Usually for me it's OEM or bust for any parts or accessories, but for fun I was looking at the various parts available for the L494 on ebay. Before ordering the vehicle, I looked at all the accessories and thought the "rear loadspace treadplate finisher" as Land Rover calls it looks nice, but...

Hey all, If you've tracked my posts at all you'll know I am all about performance/economy and finding ways to improve any/everything I can to my already amazing truck. I have been digging and searching for compatible parts from newer/different vehicles that share the AJV8 engine, well I may...

Hey guys, just thought id let you all know that if your looking to add bluetooth audio to a 2006-2009 model RRS. OR any other car you may have with an Aux input, and want to save money. This is the way to go. I just got mine today, and it was a total of $6.25. It works very well for the price...

Here is my Apple iPad Mini dash installation step-by-step solution guide. I took the time to document this project into a step-by-step solution guide as a way of giving back to this community forum whose posts have enhanced my Land Rover ownership experience. The dash tablet installation was...

To anyone interested, I came up with a inexpensive fix to the non-functioning back up camera issue on my '06 HSE. I read on some threads that this issue comes up regularly and that it is the camera that is the problem and not the connections. After pulling mine apart and examining the camera...

Firstly, Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I am needing some help/advice and figured you guys would be the people to ask? I have a 1998 4.6 HSE The Check Engine Light came on the other day ... I took it to 3 auto parts/service places in Costa Mesa in Orange County..no one had a...
