I replaced the rear door handle / plate cover. It was a lot harder then it needed to be! I went slow and took my time and went piece by piece. There was also thirty years of dirt and grime hiding under the gasket. Forgot to get a before photo, so I'm recycling a photo from when I replace the rear bumper.
In using Bearmach one shot grease, the little cut off in the corner of the bag to ad more lube into the pin housing is a messy thing. And I am not sure if there is enough in the cavity, though it goops up around the top assuming its full. By using a small fluid transfer pump, I got the little hose in the hole and as I suspected, not enough lube. Still messy, but at least its full.
I got my insurance inspection completed by The Sports Car Center in Edmonton. Great group of guys that know land rovers in the Edmonton area.
I now have it insured and registered and am quite happy !
I changed plugs and wires as well, wires had some cracks and were really bonded to the plugs, not sure when they were done last. All the plugs looked very good . Very easy job to change on the Discovery 1.

Attended the 2022 SCARR Event & this year 5 LR Special Vehicles were there. 2 Orange Trek D2's, 2 02 Kalahari D2's, and then my 97 XD. I haven't personally seen that many LR Special Vehicles together like that since they were new. Had a great time off roading & just driving the XD.
re-sealed my original steering box that I had removed last year and re-installed that original box. Not sure what I'll do with this 'interim' unit. Probably re-seal it and keep it for a back up.
