Let us know how it goes when you do it. That applies to both the dash and the thermo mod, of course. :P

My favorite still remains the Alex_M hood strut. But then, I spend way too much time crawling in my engine compartment.

Picked up the Disco today. Really happy with the purchase. It is in great shape and I think will work great for my projects. The dash is warped A LOT worse then originally observed so that is definitely a project ;-) So, driving home I got the 3 amigos. Threw the scanner on when I got back home and got the two following codes. Do these suggest a replacement of the shuttle valve assembly? Or that and something else? Sorry. Real nube here but want it to be perfect.

I did option B on one rover and it worked. On the other, I took the shuttle switch off and it was rusted to pieces. That rover was down until I got a new switch and I sort of regretted the entire project because of the wait.
So it is a coin toss.
The second one was a rusty rover. If yours isn't, the option b should work.

If you don't mind the expense, a new shuttle switch should fix the issue. But there is a way to modify it (search for shuttle option B) that isn't too difficult and ensures that the error won't return.

Has anyone ordered and installed one of these? Would you recommend or should I steer clear?

Fully greasable is the way to go.
You might check lucky8 (a forum sponsor). If memory serves they have a HD shaft and do a discount for forum members. Ask for Erik.
