Front window sprayers, they are burried so deep in the cowl, when it snows that cowl fills with snow and the spray won't go though so you have to dig it out, scrape the ice off, could have just cleaned the window

I have had 2 discos with the AC not working. One I had already owned and the AC stopped working. The snowflake button wouldn't light up. I changed the in dash button/switch and voila! Worked.

So, the next one I bought the AC didn't work. Changed the switch and... VOILA!

Either this is a common reason or I am lucky.

As far as being a real man, I am definitely one. I just don't like the wind messing up hairdo after spending all morning using the curling and crimping iron

Insist you get your old cats back though and sell them for scrap, they contain precious metals and should bring $70-80 or more a piece!
Selling your old cats could pay for the new ones and the installation.

I'm thinking about deleting my cats for the next 2 years till I have to smog check again. Lol. I'm sure they are close to the end of their life expectancy. Any suggestion? Do I need to trick the O2 sensors somehow? Thanks.

i welded the bungs shut and then stacked nuts on the bung, welded them then screwed the sensors in, it is loud with no cats and a welded muffler, supposed to be able to use spark plug non foulers but i could not source them in the correct size localy

Arrow The Cat just dragged in!

SO,
Just picked up a new to me 2004 SE7 yesterday! Not working (so far) Folding double rear seat, Saggy ceiling, Driver Door lock, Ignition lock spins?, Sport Mode Switch, Heat is on and off. More amazing, working; Cruise control, seat heaters x2, seat adjusters X2, windows X4, 2 sunroofs (no leaks), AC, NO amigos, NO service engine light. OK, front bumper is shattered and dripping oil from Valve covers and seats are filthy. The work begins.

Default Lack of torque /Discovery 4

I'm struggling with the torque of my manual Discovery 4. It is a challenge pulling anything in the excess of 500kg and every movement below 2500rpm is pain. Has anyone experienced similar challenges?
