In Germany with a 98 Disco.

Good suggestions on parts sources that ship tp APO addresses?


Thx

Rovahfarm ships USPS priority flat rate mail when they can, and I know the USPS has flat rate boxes specifically for APO/FPO addresses.
My guess is that most would though.
You might want to check some local sources though, I would think UK -> DE would be cheaper than UK-> US -> DE

 

Thx Tom

I'm working several issues at once (big suprise) lol

Leaking PS gearbox
Rubber bushings on the axle end of the rear suspension lower links (so it'll quit sounding like I just got married with tin cans tied to the bumper)
One coil semi-out (runs rough at idle, complete cut out on acceration (OBD II says coil causing check engine light)

And of course the ever present oil drip from the rear of the engine (I changed the valve cover gaskets, still see a little, but with 175,000 I'm not chasin a silver dollar size spot in the drive, don't think its worth the bucks)

 

As for the power steering leak start topping off with ATF with stop leak in it.

The US dollar is not worth crap right now, buy local.

 

Hello Spike

Runnin ATF with stopleak now, too soon to say if its slowin up.

I hear ya on the dollar, thats why I want to but and have em shipped.

steering box here will cost me around 600 US.

 

You can rebuild the power steering pump yourself.
Otherwise I would look into a salvage yard.
My power steering used to leak and I started topping off with ATF with stop leak and after about half a bottle the leak has stopped.
That was 2 years ago, I only add a drop or 2 a couple of times a year now.

 

Have you cleaned the area and pinpointed the leak?

Factory clamps loosen over time and a quick fix is to cut them off the return lines and put regular worm-type hose clamps on..... That is if it is the hoses.

If not, try to find some white shepherd locally. Add 1/3 bottle to the reservoir.

 

Check out these people for rebuild, I think it was around $300.

You might want to contact them and see if they'd be willing to ship large USPS flat rate box. I think it will fit.

 

If you are looking for new parts or hard to find Rover specific parts, I would highly recommend Rover's North if you have not tried them.

Also, I just received a sales circular from AB with some atrtractive prices in it, So I plan on making a purchase from them in the very near future, I am sure they can ship to APO/FPO as well.

Both have excellent websites and competitive prices over any other Land Rover suppliers I have used. And quick shipping as well.

 

He is in Germany guys, most US parts suppliers will not ship overseas.
And he cannot get the same stop leaks etc. as us.
