Replaced inertia switch, PO had broken mounting tabs and zip-tied it in place. It was too loose for me and looked funky.

I started mine to continue the search for the elusive point of origin for the external coolant leak... Curious, I have a 2003 Discovery II and other than this mysterious leak, it runs beautifully. No coolant in the oil, no foggy white smoke from the tailpipe, just losing coolant, at an alarming rate, with no clue where it is coming from. Does anyone else have this issue? Or have had this issue? The best "guess" I was given was head gasket, but the head looks dry as a bell, all over from what I can see. But the leak appears to be coming from underneath the back side of the engine. Are there hoses down under the engine that could be leaking? (Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, can't seem to find a place to start an new thread.)
Thanks for any help!!

Did you check continuity of the + and - terminations? Did you check each conductor of your circuit for zero resistance?

There's a 'arm' that attaches to a lever and that lever is attached to the lock. Mine came loose a week after I bought the vehicle.

Thursday I got my CB all hooked up. Today I fixed a bad ground on the mount, and tuned the antenna. SWR of 1.6 on CH 1 and 1.3 on Ch 40. Spent some time going through the channels, listening for a signal clear enough I could understand it... mot much activity out here. Made contact with a guy who is 5-6 miles away. Not too shabby for a vintage 1972 radio on a vehicle that doesn't have a good ground plane on it, due to aluminum body panels and dual sun roofs.

Exclamation I could almost cry :(

I have a 2000 D2 and have been replacing a lot of parts over the past few months, new ignition system, coils (twice) 8MM STI plug wires, Bosch 4+ plugs, new MAF, Idle Sensor with new exhaust system (Magna Flow) all new factory 02 sensors, plus a new EVAP purge valve.

Spark is good, compression is good, the HGs were replaced a year ago, no vacuum leaks, but I keep getting p0304 and p0306 misfire codes.

At this point, I could cry or curse, or do I replace the CPS or is this a fuel delivery issue, via fuel pump or injectors?

Thanks for reading and replying

Greg

I cussed mine out again. Big hands, tiny spaces. I sort of remind myself of King Kong trying to wash dishes.

Had a squeaky pulley and a coolant leak. Diagnosis came back (paying someone else to diagnose and doing the work myself has saved my sanity!)...replacing 2 idler/1 tensioner pulley and the Water Pump (airtex). Too bad the impeller is no longer brass (they switched to stamped steel). Also ordered a rear bumper reverse/brake light housing as mine was cracked and a steel-braided brake line kit to get over AB's $199 free shipping threshold since it was on sale anyway at $141.95

Replaced the drivers side door lock actuator as well as the broken key cylinder pin. Need to to take it up to someone who has the proper computer to enable single point entry.
