My tachometer stopped working a week ago, and I'm not sure what the problem is. For a while, the needle kept jumping around between the 1000 and 2000 RPM marks, and when I stepped on the gas, it went to 0. Now it won't even move. My mechanic won't touch it because he doesn't want to mess with...

Should I put in my Discovery? It's a 3.9 with 81,000 on it, so I know I'm going to need some of the high-mileage stuff.

Central U.S. in the city of St. Louis, Missouri, Gateway to the West. And a Zamboni is the big machine that goes out on the ice at skating & hockey rinks and makes it as smooth as glass. In the ice hockey world, if you are a Zamboni driver, men respect you, and women love you. When my current...

Actually, I didn't. You guys do have it a lot worse. I'm just glad we go by the gallon and not the liter, I'd have to get another Zamboni job just to buy gas. If you want something fuel efficient and enviromentally safe, look at Olympia brand Zambonis, now those things are fuel efficient> A...

Thanks Charlotte, I appreciate it. BTW, any chance someone could send me a pic of the engine bay for a '95 Discovery with the 3.9 engine? A buddy of mine is a mechanic, and he wants to help me out, but he'll need a picture of the engine setup

Ok guys, looks like my Discovery needs a new alternator. I know where I can get one for a good price, the only problem I have is installing it. Can anybody here either walk me through it or direct me to a site that can give me step-by-step instructions? Because my mechanic wants to charge...

If someone could create something that would allow cars to run on veggie oil, I'll get in line for it. Gas is getting too flipping expensive here. Today's cost for a gallon of premium at Mobil, $2.48

The battery is about 8 or 9 months old, I'm planning to have it checked out when I have some time this week, and the only electrical things I've done to it are install some APC super-white headlight bulbs.

For the fifth time in the past couple weeks, I've tried to start up my Discovery, and the battery is either completely drained or doesn't have enough juice to start up and it's one of those Optima Red-Top batteries. Anybody have some ideas, 'cause I'm lost here.

Anybody make these for the 3.9 V8?

Thanks Obie, I appreciate it. We got a lab/golden retriever mix puppy back in december, so she's been a big help for the family.

Thanks for the info, but I'm short on cash now. Plus, I'm going all Pioneer with my Discovery, just like my old Sunfire (now deceased) and the Celica my dad and I are going to start working on. If you want to take a look at the Sunfire, here's the web site http://members.cardomain.com/iceman632

Gotcha. I'm actually thinking about removing the fold-up rear seats all the way in back and putting 10 inch subs in their place and making a custom amp enclosure between them.

These guys ship to the U.S.? And does anybody know the current exchange rates between pounds and dollars?

Hey obie, where did you put that amp in your discovery?
