the other day i met up with optmusprimer to get a part for the rover, and mentioned that suprisingly, nothing major has gone wrong with my sisters land rover.

and ive told a few others, ive pretty much bragged that i got lucky and picked a good rover.

welp, just 5 mins ago my brother calls and says that something major has gone wrong, its dark so hes not sure. either transmission or axle.

you owned yourself. *knock on wood*

12/19/2006 12:20:28 AM

knock on woodgrain (dash trim)!


im actually sorry to hear about this new trouble, when you get a better look at it, hit me with some details.

12/19/2006 12:21:52 AM

lol woodgrain.

12/19/2006 12:25:30 AM

at least you were expecting it or else you wouldn't have been bragging about it.

12/19/2006 9:17:45 AM

can we burn it?

12/19/2006 11:59:45 AM

not sure yet, if its an easy fix. i fix it.

if not we can shoot at it then burn it

12/19/2006 12:04:19 PM

fuck that if its not easy let me know ill buy it

12/19/2006 1:10:17 PM

havnt seen it yet, but the description 2 of the people gave was that they were taking a right hand turn, and they heard a pop (or loud click) and so they coasted down hill...

my brother said he couldnt even get it to park, but eventually did.

it just revved in every gear. now i was thinking somehow they hit the diff. lock shifter and popped it into N, which is possible if it wasnt fully engaged. and that is something they most likely would miss to try and find out whats up

12/19/2006 1:33:37 PM

hmm

check the hi/lo range shifter, make sure its not in nuetral like you said. then get underneath and make sure both driveshafts are still there and look intact.

i highly doubt this next part is possible, but who knows

after that, its going to get expensive/complicated unless you somehow managed to snap the RR axle during normal city driving. if thats what happened, you can lock the CDL and you should be able to get it moving again- if the noise is too bad though dont drive it much. youll want to keep as much of the axle peices out of the differential as possible.

[Edited on December 19, 2006 at 2:07 PM. Reason : RR or LF i suppose, but that would be even weirder]

12/19/2006 2:06:30 PM

ill give it a try

12/19/2006 2:45:02 PM

Don't burn it. Let me park it in my driveway so my neighbors will think I'm high falootin'.

12/19/2006 4:22:32 PM

it will stain the driveway

12/19/2006 4:31:11 PM

seen one the tow truck today thought of baonest [no homo]

[Edited on December 19, 2006 at 5:02 PM. Reason : actually i thought of baonest's sister ]

12/19/2006 5:01:53 PM

was it green?

12/19/2006 5:14:44 PM

no, it was white with some sort of a banner in on the tailgate windshield. it was gettin towed down western on a flatbed

12/19/2006 5:27:51 PM

haha our is on some road off of western.

12/19/2006 6:05:23 PM

if your sister needs a ride in in the meantime tell her i will hook her up

12/19/2006 6:13:55 PM

Nig0r please, this was last night.

she already home.

but thanks for the offer

12/19/2006 6:21:41 PM

Damn right it was last night. I mean in case she wants to go again.

12/19/2006 6:26:34 PM

hah

well my bro went to tow the car, he said the 4wheel drive lever is still in tact.

so im thinking its kinda major.

ill have a chance to look at it on thursday, maybe even tomorrow to see fore sure what exactly is up with it

12/19/2006 6:56:40 PM

Similiar thing happen to a camry I had a while back. Was sitting at a stop light on a hill late one night, light turned green, halfway through the intersection there was a loud pop and it wouldn't drive anymore. Don't remember what exactly it was, but it was something in the tranny and I just got a new one from the junk yard.

12/19/2006 7:34:29 PM

that sounds like the planetary in that camry, my '88 camr did that once... but i never heard of a rover do that.

karoush call me when you go to look at it if you want some help

12/19/2006 7:44:14 PM

will do
