Replaced passenger side front wheel bearings and installed the passenger side front RoverTracks axle/CV

 

Normally I wouldn't be bragging about buying brake pads. But, I jumped on RockAuto just now to see how much new front D90 pads would run me for my Disco(I have the conversion).
I ended up buying three sets of pads for $16.95 shipped, TOTAL!! It was some Wholesale Closeout and each set was $2.66. The shipping ran more than the parts, LOL.
These are the same pads I bought. The link on RockAuto is gone because I bought their last three sets.

 

Finally got around to replacing the fuel temp sensor, as have been having difficult hot starts.

Have to say after one trip, does not seem to have obviously cured the problem.

Welcome any advice on what to troubleshoot next.

 

Finished up the wheel bearings on the driver side and threw in the other Rovertracks axle yesterday. Rechecked the swivel ***** oil level and took it for a little test drive today. Now on to the rears and the diff build.

 

hi all iv lost drive on my series 2 its got a disco 200tdi conversion I can get all gears with out putting the clutch in if u know what I meen

 

Went wheeling.

Holy BFG

 

Went to a local junkyard and it was like Christmas in July. Picked up a load of stuff, new CDL and emergency brake shifter boots, original LR Discovery rubber floor mats front and back , extra fan blade and fan clutch, cargo cover , cross bars for the front roof rack, hydraulic arm for rear step , door sills, window ecu. Going back this weekend to grab the radiator it looks brand new.

 

Most discos at the junk have all the parts.

 

Not in 16 yrs (since it was new in 1997) did my Dscvry exterior cargo door ever NOT open! But, today, the metal latch decided that it would be rusted in position; rear cargo door wouldn't budge. Probably because my lawn mower broke down, and it was in the cargo area, and I really needed to open the rear door to get it out ??

I was heading to drop the lawn mower off for repair, but I couldn't open the rear cargo area door . Haha. Oh, well, thanks go to that miracle can of Blaster PB50 and its handy red straw. I stuck the straw up into the latch everywhere it'd reach, and just sprayed! Then, I squeezed the latch a few times to spread the lubricant. It worked like a charm!

I love my Dscvry . It never lets me down. But, I do hate rust . It must be nice to live in Texas.

 

I am so bl**$@#dy jealous !!!
If I want to go to a Landrover Junk yard it is an 8 hour drive.
Need to pass two border posts and might not get what I am looking for.
Count your blessings guys!!
