Good Afternoon everyone.. after recently acquiring '00 Disco II, I started my preventative maintenance program with a classic oil change to Rotella 15w-40 to hopefully prevent the "flat tappet cam" / ticking at idle.(which is much better after oil change, however still present)...

.. during the oil change, as I was to unbolt the drip pan bolt I noticed a missing bolt about 2.5' / 3' forward roughly along the same line on 'longitude' and to the right a bit. I'm not really sure what to search and the Rave manual unfortunately does not list part#, bolt size, etc..

Here is a pic looking under DISCO II from the DRIVERS' side (left) facing forwards as indicated by the Fresh Napa Gold 1068 Oil Filter Thanks for any help.

 

Thats a bad part to be missing, that keeps your tranny lines from rubbing up against your crank pulley. I think I might have the screw and spare clip that goes there.

 

Thanks for the insight.. do you have any pics of the OEM look. Are you saying it is not just a 13mm or something similar?

 

My oil pan is off right now so cant get you a pic, but I did find an extra screw. Heres one I could find:

Thanks.. I went to my a shop/yard today a looked under a few models.
The one I crawled under looked similar to yours (1/2 pics) with "1" line attached to the bolt/hinge/screw.

Mine as you can observed in the 2/2 of pictures has "2" lines.

Do you by chance know the difference b/t the two and if so which size/part #. Thanks

 

Sorry I dont know. Since you have a 2000, I am guessing that second line is the oil cooler line. Its possible nothing goes in the screw hole in the pan on your year. Maybe someone else can chime in that has a 2002 or older DII.

 

For what it's worth, i have a 2000 and I have that exact same bolt missing... every time i get under there to change the oil I look at and wonder what is supposed to go there...

 

Hmm.. interesting.. thanks for the help..maybe I'll call up land rover and see if anyone knows what's up. It does look like it holds at least one of the two lines in place or at least aids somehow with the stability overall.. I do find it hard to believe nothing go there, but who knows..
Thanks again!
