Mr.BlueSky Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 18 hours ago, SLOHybrid said: WHAT was wrong with the module?? never needed to replace one in all my years other than converting one to a non ABS servo style. The pump switch usually fails... just blead the brakes on my LWB over the weekend and forgot what a PITA it was 11 bleeder screws but boy they now feel great. BTW I too carry a spare ABS pump always on trips. that is kinda why I wanted to know what other Classic's were coming so we could compare spares. It is a long silly story - maybe I will start a classic ABS thread. : ). For now, I will save it for around the campfire in Mojave! Yes, I will be bringing a spare ABS pump as well.

astateofmike Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 @Mr.BlueSky and @SLOHybrid.... What's ABS? My 1988 has like less bleed screws than 11 for sure Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.BlueSky Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Got started on a baby jerry cradle mockup. Some day, with enough nurturing, they may grow into full size jerrys. : ). Sunday also was full of excitement with some posh range rover sport work.

So...Yoder Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Digging into the valve.cover gaskets... Yesterday I cleaned up the drip pan, oil mud so thick it was like play dough, even left my fingers clean The PCV on the intake was gooped with rtv, and some of these globs in the second pic actually feel 1/4" thick... First pic is the bottom of the intake second the plenum on the block... funnnn. Oh and the valve covers don't even have matching bolts.....Danger zone...... Scared to pull the covers and lose threads. Not to mention, every nut, bolt, and bracket that could be missing is. Nothing holding any of the sai stuff on (made things easy) It's going to look a lot better and run a lot better when I'm done. Any references for a hot tank shop? Should probably get the rest of the intake dipped as well... Ramble on El Chapomint and Mr.BlueSky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elherbinator Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Had my oil light come on the mother day. Luckily I was idling in the driveway. Engine sounded tractorish, so I figured it really had low oil pressure and wasn’t just a bad sensor. Took apart the front of the engine and found what I thought I would find. Common issue with these engines (4.6l from an 03 D2). Going to replace the timing chain while I’m in there. The front cover looked to be in good shape so I think it was just a normal wear and tear thing and not the chronic dowel pin issue. Plus the car is 20 years old so I figure most of the bad engines have been destroyed by now. IMG_9939.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.BlueSky Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 WARNING TO ALL ROVER OWNERS! I caught this on the security camera yesterday... It seems that the hoodlums in the neighborhood noticed an odd collection of rovers and decided to dump a D2 parts truck into the mix! The nerve! If you have more than one rover, take care, it seems they begin accumulating! ( j k ) In all seriousness if anyone needs D2 bits and bobs feel free to reach out. @RobertDingli probably has the best knowledge of what is available but I am happy to take a look for specifics. The engine and most of the driveline has been removed. SLOHybrid, Jethro, SDS and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elherbinator Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Finally got around to putting my engine back together. Replaced the oil pump, water pump, and timing chain & sprockets. Also added an oil pressure and water temp gauge. The gauges were surprisingly easy to do. The water temp gauge just went on the top radiator hose. The oil presto sensor when on the timing chain cover in one of the plugged ports above the original Land Rover sensor which supports the oil light on the dash. I need to get longer wires, so the gauges are temporarily sitting on the dash but I wanted to keep a close eye on the oil pressure when I first started it up again so I hooked them up in their temporary state. So I need to still do some work, but I am relieved that the engine is running fine and I avoided any major damage with the failed oil pump.

Elherbinator Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Got the Classic off Non-Op and registered. Considering taking it to Slick this weekend.

Elherbinator Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Getting this thing ready for a trail this weekend. Added some shackle mounts to the front bumper.

Elherbinator Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Since I am not at Slick this weekend, figured I might as well do something productive with one of my Rovers. Finished the gauge install. Turned out pretty sweet. Total cost in parts ~ $240. Time should be a few hours. I had already had stuff apart so it didn’t take that long.
