OMG, dude even when you want to help you still can't win. " I seriously doubt you know what you are talking about."

I was thinking the same repair option because I've successfully done at least 10 of these. You're right, not a hard job if you have the tools. I guess it's just easier for some to listen to a lazy tech. Roverlady1....I wish you the Best of Luck too.

No big deal. Funny thing, I just removed two snapped bolts from a 3' freezer condensor fan. TIG welded bolts to the flush broken studs, wrenched them out.

Angry good bye folks

again here is someone who does not have a clue. No you cannot fix the part with the broken bolts. The same problem will happen again when the whole thing shifts again. The post was posted to get help finding a part.
I towed my vehicle 100 miles to get away from a bunch of idiots who have no clue how to fix any car. I completely trust my mechanic. And by the way
I was a mechanic before this kid was even born.

ihscouts and over rover you both have no clue! If you cannot read a post and respond correctly, then do not respond!
The forum is a great thing for people to hear other people's experiences!
Since this is very rare , you both have never had this happen. Being a machinist means nothing. If the hole for the screw is stretched from the shifting after the bolts broke. You cannot fix that!!!! I would never trust

you to work on a tricycle.

Roverlady1, I now completely understand the logic you've used to come to this conclusion.
Thanks for the insight, I feel so much closer to you now.
I hope all works out well for you!

Good luck.

landrovers are a ford engine with a fancy body and a bunch of annoying sensors.
when regulary mechanics look at them they think what idiot would build it like that. Yes I do love landrovers and rangerovers but its the most annoying vehicle I have ever worked on. The one im restoring had bad brake sensors so they gave up on it.

The fuel pump on a 94 is the same all the way up to mid 97. The trim line, SE7, SD, LE, etc has no bearing on the fuel pump.
And you should probably stop talking before you further embarrass yourself. Every North American Discovery 1, 2, RRC, P38, D90 and D110 have a BUICK based engine, not a Ford. Please don't tell me people pay you money to work on their trucks?


I'm sure you know plenty about these vehicles and I think its great that you work on them. I'm just saying there's ways to offer up advice without insisting you are absolutely correct.
