    Yeah, the fact that the FJ was only 5k may have had something to do with it

    Has a cam position sensor fault, and I am replacing two of the door lock actuators.

    Actually I have seen very little leaking on the LRs I have seen in my shop. This particular one is actually quite clean and in good shape.

    You actually have to buy two land rovers: one to drive and one for parts.

    yeah, you need the 8 in the disco 1 and 2, since they never had the diesel option. even with the v8 they aren't what i'd call fast, but they have the power to wheel just fine
