Champion Platinum from the factory on all Bosch engines. I prefer NGK myself or Autolite Double Platinum or Iridium Plugs.

 

Seconded. I've run NGKs from day one in my Disco and I've run autolites in a couple buddies vehicles. I like both.

 

 

Yep, finished today finally -- Drivers side of the engine went in a ZILLION times easier than the passenger. Truck won't start now though, didn't have time to figure it out. Tomorrow afternoon i should have some time though

I went with NGK's since that is what everyone else seems to use

 

How does it drive and steer now?
Notice any difference?

 

Bought my first Disco 2. I was looking for a "beater" and found this, 2000 for $2500 and 106k on the ODO. It even came with the original wheels and "summer" tires. Sure it is not perfect, need to replace the windshield cowl, passenger door window regulator and headlight washer nozzles. And I am sure I will Discovery a few more. Not looking to make it a show car, just a local runner.

 

When I had them (breifly, it was a really bad set) I noticed a considerable increase in stability around corners.

 

Got some nicer weather today and decided to change the Rotoflex Driveshaft Coupling. The other one was OK but there was some cracking starting.

Got screwed up with the driveshaft spline trying to align without lifting a tire.

Somehow, I remembered to put the TC case in Neutral and use the handbrake to help with the rotation after the rear diff is disconnected.

Anyway, its done now and seems to have improved the minor vibrations I have had since doing the CDL front housing swap. I know they're not necessarily linked but maybe new housing bearing was "tighter" and more prone to pick up the rear vibrations.

Or just could be the placebo effect lol.

 

Installed the new bumper, next steps mount fog lights and bull bar

 

Adding a switch plate for inside front winch, "someday" rear winch controls and driving lights (empty spot). Ran wires, lights hooked up, besides needing switch, and need a couple different terminals for winch module connections.
