Previous owner put in a new stereo but it’s unusable due to the loud hum which seems to plague aftermarket systems. I used to install stereos in a past life so I thought it would be a piece of cake to pull it out and check grounds, etc. I was very wrong, the wiring is a complete mess! I’ve...

Greetings all, I have recently taken delivery of a 1991 Classic. It is basically "Staying in the Family" as it was given to me by the original owners whom i grew up around the corner from since 1972. So far I have fallen in love with the vehicle despite its run down condition. It had been...

Just finished replacing the viscous coupling in my Range Rover classic. I installed the front output flange with the big nut. Torqued that down to specified torque (a lot!). Installed the front prop shaft and noticed some movement in the shaft when I grab the end closest to the viscous coupling...

Shop replaced original alternator with remanufactured OEM Lucas alternator - but the new alternator is not charging the battery. Advanced Auto test shows 0 voltage from the alternator, battery warning light is on and new battery, which tests fine, must be recharged after driving. It is...

Greetings and salutations my good people! Just picked up a '93 RRC. Been kind of wanting one for years. Found a great deal on a project from a really good dude. Engine has head gasket issues, so will be tackling that first. Plenty of issues after that, ha, ha. I'm a stay at home Dad and...

I recently installed a Holley Sniper TBI EFI system instead of the original carbs on my 84 RRC 3.5. All working great and the system has a little display with a whole bunch of readouts, one of them is 'lbs of fuel per hour'. I had a fairly long drive on Texas flatlands with various speeds so I...

Hello, So I think I might be able to get my hands on an LT85 (Santana) manual 5 speed transmission including matching transferbox, which was mated to a 3.5V8 (which is also included in the deal). In my car I have the same engine, but a 3 speed Torqueglide auto. Frankly I really dislike...

I have an 85 2 door that has been getting a major overhaul since importing from Spain. A reconditioned steering unit was installed but it doesn't assist at low (idle) rpm. I have read of problems with cars that have an ECU but I believe this car does not have one. Are there any tricks like...

So, this is new, my brakes (all 4 but the front is worse than the back) will start to rub/squeak after 30 mins on the highway, and heat up to the point where they are grabbing/smoking after 60 mins. If I pull over and let them cool, all goes back to normal and then I repeat the cycle. The...

Just picked up a 1990 RRC w/ 160k miles.

1995 classic cranks and runs great when cold, but after running for about 30min and letting it sit for about 20 minutes it has a rough idle for about 10-15secs. after that it clears up and runs great again. I have replaced the fuel pump, filter, plug wires ,plugs and TPS sensor. I checked fuel...

Can any one tell me what the numerous brass fittings are on the AC line that connects from the accumulator/drier to the evaporator under the dash, what is the function of this. These fittings/parts are now obsolete. I wonder if I can do away with them and just make a new AC line that omits them...

Hi All, Long time lurker and infrequent poster. I have an 89 rrc I've been working on getting running. The exhaust on it has plugged cats and all the joints are welded together. I would like to ditch the whole thing and bolt in a new factory version. The exhaust set-up looks very similar to...

Howdy - wanted to post this issue and see if any of you fine people can comment or suggest what's going on. Once in a while, I'll insert the key into the ignition and it is just absolutely locked up - no movement at all. Each time this has happened in the past, I've monkeyed with it and...

Good morning, long time viewer, first time member. This site is a wealth of information, I should have joined sooner.

just got news my upolsterer broke off a key in the ignition of my 88. stuff happoens, no big deal. But are those blanks readily available - or an I about to set off on a search for unobtanium? I want to get a spare made before my lone remaining key goes by by as well!

Hi guys, Trying to replace my AC compressor. I've searched multiple forums and sites looking for the right one, but what came out of my truck doesn't look anything like what I am seeing anywhere else. Below are photos of my old AC Compressor, and I've got one next to what I ordered that was...

Ok time to replace all the bushings in my 88 RRC. I figure I want to go with poly, anyone have any experience with these guys, and this kit? https://floflex.co.uk/product/land-rover-discovery-1-range-rover-1986-full-suspension-chassis-bush-kit/

3.5L 1988 Classic, Was having starting issues so trouble shooted igntion and found no spark. All checked OK except Module showed dead short to ground, being original equipment I opted to replace module and pick up coil because it showed and open circuit. Marked dizzy rotor to case #1 and marked...

I'm working on my old classic. It's been sitting for about 6 mouths. I had to charge the battery as I have had it disconnected. When I started it I have the following lights on. Both blinkers, trailer, check engine, ABS, BRAKE, Radiator fluid low, OVERTEMP, and seatbelt. Checked Battery while...
