I just called the local dealer. Only $34.95. I'll go by there tomorrow, however I'm sure I need something else from the dealer. I've had my Discovery for about 4 weeks and have been tackling the major service item list. Can you guys think of anything else I should get while I'm there (i.e. gaskets, o-rings, etc.)? I've already redone the front drive shaft, serviced tranny with new filter, changed oil.

I should probably troubleshoot my cranking issue before I go. It takes 2-3 turns of the key to crank. It turns over fine, just doesn't seem to be getting fuel. Where do I hook a fuel pressure guage up? I have one, but didn't notice any fuel rails to plug it into. If the RAVE tells me how to do this, then I'll just look it up tonight.

Dealer, $35. I don't take chances with my cooling system.

Fuel pressure test point is under top part of intake. See point 9 in attached. Gasket 23 is metal and re-usable if you don't bend it.

I'm pretty sure Lucky8 carries a beefier thermostat which allows for cooler running. They posted it on Facebook as part of the "on the desk" series.

Ah Crap! Didn't mean to quote the post, but only mention the Lucky8 part.

Do not confuse the most talkative person in the room with the wise ones. For me, it's genetic, my dad was a car salesman and mother was a woman....
