Long story short, the Disco has to go. Here is a list of the items that have been replaced within the last 5k miles (as best as I can recall): Plugs. Wires. Fuel pump. Brake pads and rotors. Air filter. Water Pump. Serpentine belt. Other miscellaneous stuff. U-joints. VSS. That little brake...

I should have mentioned that I'm selling it as a whole or not at all as I don't have the time to be taking stuff off of it. Michael

I'm looking to trade my 1997 Land Rover Discovery 146,xxx (or so) Miles, AT, PW, 2 sunroofs, leather (heated front seats,) 5 disk CD changer, dark blue, new plugs, new plug wires, newish water pump, newish battery, new wheel bearings all around, new brakes all around, new fuel pump and filter...

Watch this clip to about the six minute mark (or fast forward) but the look on the dogs face just screams "fuck this place, it's bullshit, I'm out of here. Michael

Pry the control knobs and dials off, you should see (I think two) screws. Pull the face of the control unit off; the bulbs (once again, I think there are two) are right there and tres easy to replace. Michael

Nope, it's routed like the RAVE shows and I took digital pics before I started working on it. Michael

Why in the fuck, after replacing my alternator is my serp. belt now about 3" from even being close to thinking about going back on? It took me about 10 minutes to replace the alternator and about three hours to not have the serp. belt anywhere close to going back on. Am I missing something...

Hey Nomar, Just to contribute to the smart assed comments; I misspelled it in the title AND in the description. :rofl: :fuckoff: Michael

I'm having to make my ride more "streetable" so my wife will drive it. I need a rear anti-swab bar set up far a 97' D1. I removed my original one years ago and tossed it. Hind sight is 20/20! Michael

Make sure to scroll down and read all of the questions and answers! :D :D Michael

I've got panhard rod bushings, TRE's, radius arm bushings and upper swivel pin sets (both left and right sides.) What else can I look at to help clean up the slop? Thanks, Michael

Ding, ding, ding we have a winner! I guess I missed that line when I read the original post. Michael

Fuel filter is up in the passengers side rear wheel well and not that hard to get to at all. I have heard of folks removing the wheel to get more access but it's never been that big of a deal to me. YRMV. Michael

Not that I know of right off hand (the Rover community in Charleston is VERY small) but I'll ask around. Michael

You must read Gates of Fire; this is the book they made the movie 300 from. A history major buddy of mine turned me onto this book and I read it four times back to back. I'm up to about a dozen reads now. I usually read 150+ books a year, and have since I was 10 or so and this is either my...
