I like surprises. Many of mine are self-made.....

I happened to be here when it arrived, made my pneumonia magically get better.....

What a difference, I was just getting used to driving an automatic with two feet. I've done it in the past. I'm driving this thing right into the ground or until I expire. It's been my daily for six years. Never have missed a day of work because of it being a Rover. I've driven it twice with blown head gaskets, thankfully they where on cylinder 5 and 6, no coolant. I just disable that cylinders injector and drive it until my parts arrived. Some give up too easy, Shiftonthefly comes to mind...... Rover's have always had a reputation for getting you to remote places, breaking down and you fixing them to get back out. The Disco is no different. They're very easy to figure out once you take things apart on em.

Were the OBD #s something like .06 to .65 grams per second? That's what I see on my 98 SE and it screws up the Ultra gage Miles per Gallon and Distance to Empty calculations big time.

Yes, there have been a few threads about this as of late... Our trucks do not report the data per the OBD standard... Not much we can do about it till someone with direct knowledge of the rover ECU and how it calculates airflow reports in..

what you're seeing is about right for what is expected from our vehicles

In the head I'm good, physically I was just cleared to return to work. Back to the slave pit.

Funding, ah yes. Well I just may have made a few coins and could use some new skins. Treadwrights are in my future. It's all in the Kedge. ArmyRover has em on his 110 and he said they're awesome in the winter. I need something short of studs (MI doesn't allow) to keep me pointed forward because they don't plow or salt like urban areas. I'm lucky if the roads are even clean by the time I head out the door in the deep freeze. That's about $400 - 475 depending which tread pattern I choose and shipping. Install and balance about another $60 (helps to know folks in town with shops and Rovers). What I haven't decided yet is whether to can the mags for steel. My aluminum wheels are ready for some work, beads loosing air. If I get em off before the snow flies I'll sand them, polish and clear coat em.

You rang?

They are solid in the winter crap around here. Wish they sold them in a 18" size that would fit the DII without going to a 33.
