Based on the wonderful write up on here I just finished replacing the oil pump. Luckily I did. Although it was not causing any problems, I was leaking a lot of oil from the front. When I got to the oil pump the outer ring was broken in 3 pieces. Praise God it did not separate and destroy my engine. I also changed my timing chain and timing gears. Also, since my power steering pump was blowing fluid everywhere and it started making nasty noises, I replaced the pump and the three main hoses to it. This coronavirus is giving me a lot of time to work on the truck. I use it for my beekeeping business and it has needed some major maintenance for a while. Thanks for all the help I get from this forum, things go much easier. After I get it all back together, I am going to drop the transfer case and fix the leaks in that. I found a great write up on here for that as well. You guys are great.
Hey everyone Im looking into possibly buying a discovery 2 priced at 5,000 with 122,000 miles its clean no leaks passed smog tes . Engine rebuilt at around 108,000. Any advice . Thank you What do you think
haha that was after throwing it in reverse then drive about 7 or 8 times. The engine started to go above the even mark on temps so I opted to go ahead and get pulled out. It was going up to about 4K on the revs but just couldn’t get itself all the way out. They didn’t even have to give it gas, just had to have an extra force on the front I guess.
Did my 200 mile post head gasket oil change, man Fram filters are crap, and my transfer case that was ugly back goop in there got the feeling the guy who was supposed to change on the warranty oil change did not.
Replaced water pump, installed hd fan clutch and fan along with a new serpentine belt. Noticed last week that the old pump was starting get a little loose so decided to do it all. 3hrs latter were good to go!
Ok, it was yesterday, but completed CANAMDiscovery's windshield wiper fix: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...tch-fix-46886/. Worked like a charm and have fully functional wipers. No more fidgeting with the wiper lever and hoping that they'd turn on at some point.
