I've a 1996 Discovery 1 with ABS braking. Yes, you might enjoy such luxury, but I've never been a fan. I don't need to worry on regulations so I wanted to convert it to the factory master cylinder with brake booster. Have any of you done this? If so, might you have a parts list of the bits I...
If that's the case, you got lucky mate! :applause:
I've not bolted up things wrongly before so I'm not sure on that spacing issue (pulling the converter towards the motor and away from the trans.). However, if you did, in fact, notice that the converter was not engaged into the trans. pump...
Update: I wanted to give this a week, you know, to make sure.
So, this issue only happened at speeds over 45mph. RPM range was not the greaser here, it did not happen at the same rpm range at lower speeds. I can't tell you how much this felt like a trans. issue (and I know a few things so...
Update: VSS replaced and no change. I did not think this was the real issue, but thought it was worth a chance, given so many pointed the finger at it (based on my explanations).
Again, this bucking occurs at speeds over 45 mph. Punch the throttle and there is no bucking. Come right down to...
I'm going to talk to you like we're sitting at a bar and having a beer over this... and not like I'm out in internet space. :victory:
It is not hard at all to simply unplug the VSS and drive it. I'm actually appealing to the experts here on this exact solution here. I never stated that I did...
What a splendid bit of good fortune on that one! :applause:
I must admit PTSchram, I'm starting to think more and more that I might just be better off buying a new transducer. I mean, the one that's on the truck is the original AMR1253. I'm sure it's the original unit. It appears the part...
I see a couple more votes for the VSS. Thank you for the input on this. Again, I would like to know how to test or isolate this at the problem.
I did read, and I'm not one to believe everything in internetville, that you just simply unplug it. It will disable the speedometer and tach, but...
Yes, this might be worth doing. I've always approached vehicle issues this way, when in doubt, replace/repair what needs to be done anyway. That way, if it ends up not being the solution to the problem, it was something needing attention anyway.
So, I did purchase a set of Rovers North...
I've always been a bit apprehensive about additives helping things. Not that it wouldn't hurt things, however the issues here are probably beyond that. You are correct in that these had sticky valves. There's not many Discos that don't give the comforting
"tic tic tic tic tic" :p
I run...
Oh, it's not that at all. I haven't had the chance to follow-up on the replies yet.;)
Yes, I'm aware of the VSS issues and thank you for the tip. I have cleaned (with contact cleaner inside the unit) the one on my truck. It made no difference, but that's not really telling me much. The...
Hello folks, I posted this on the Rovers North BBS, but haven't got much help so far. Any help would be appreciated. :D
I am my Rovers keeper.
I've got a 1996 Discovery SD 4.0L GEMS auto (I also run premium gas and do regular servicing on her). I've been having an issue with it, that appears...
