Well that sucks! Thanks for the heads-up as I definitely would not have been happy about that.

Broke my Ultragauge today... well, not me but my GF. All I know it was working just fine yesterday. She drove the Disco today and when I got home from work noticed it on the center console with 'spider glass'... looks as though she may have stepped on it or something. All I know is it no longer displays anything. Guess I'll be buying a new one tomorrow... and noticed while out on their site that they have 2 newer, slightly more expensive, models now (as compared to what I bought a few years back). Didn't look into the differences, but will before I order...

Agreed. A great "upgrade."
Been pretty quiet on my end, as of late. Had the brakes and rotors done (only the back needed it). First time my Rover has seen an automotive garage--just didn't have it in me to tackle brakes.
Back gate stopped working. Did the WD-40 fix on it, and am expecting to never have the problem again.
Did my third oil change, again at 3,000 miles. Oil keeps coming out pretty dark. So I'll continue with 3,000 mile oil changes for the foreseeable future. As I said before, I like to think that the Rotella is just cleaning things out.

Where did you get the windshield cowl? Been looking for a good "used" one locally, but not sure that's going to happen... they all seem to be cracked just like mine. Stalked a few on eBay, but hard to spend over $100 on a used one when I can get a new one from Miami British (Monte-rovers on eBay) for $149 shipped (fiberglass one). They also have the plastic one OE one for $199.

Took the rear door panel off the barn door. The latch stopped working. I knew the handle was rusted tight...but wanted to see how things were in the inside. Lubed the handle. Works great.
I replaced the plastic clips that connect to the rods inside that make everything work. They are plastic and plastic from 2001 is wearing out now so anytime something involves plastic parts I tend to change them. Works real nice.

Replaced a/c compressor and recharged system. Clutch assembly melted and the clutch bearing was howling something fierce. It's only Been doing it for about six months. Also replaced the two pulleys and belt.
A few days ago I installed the ultragauge but haven't run the wires or finalized the screens yet. The engine temp hasn't gone above 197 but it hasn't gotten very warm here yet either. I do have the warm weather thermostat.
