I'll start by checking driveshaft. I've seen the horror stories. The irony is that I'm hoping its the driveshaft b/c that seems like a cheaper fix than a wheel bearing (hub assembly) on a DII. Go figure.

'03 Disco II with 92k miles has 3 Amigos + low speed squeak which sounds like it's coming from the right front wheel. I'm thinking bad wheel bearing, meaning new hub assembly. Make sense? How should I confirm the diagnosis before I start throwing parts at it? Also, any suggestions on how to...

I am getting ready to replace the rotted out exhaust on my 1985 RR. Took it to the local muffler shop who was going to charge about $675 to replace the headers back (dual exhaust + catalytic converter). Didn't seem like too bad a deal for a complete custom exhaust. I had never considered...

Thanks a lot for the advice, guys. Sounds like the 245/75 might be a sensible option.

Looks a lot like the mild steel Hedman Headers you can pick up for $100-$150. How much are the Janspeed headers? Can't imagine the Janspeed are more than $350.

I'm going to give these a shot. I talked to a guy at High-Tec today and he said I could request a particular brand/model tire casing. Any recommendations on which brands/specs I should look for in the casings? I want to get the strongest sidewall I can reasonably find. I'm looking at the OTR...

I'm going to try out a set of the High-Tec OTR MUD retreads (see the retread thread in the disco tech forum). I'm looking at at a MT that come in 215-85, 235-85, and 245-75 for R16. I've looked through the archives and found some good advice but had just a few follow-up questions and would...

Just did the passenger side downstream O2 on my '03 Disco last night. A few thoughts: I could either see the sensor wiring connection or feel the connection but not both at the same time. Tight squeeze. On my '03, you pinch the wiring harness connection to release the O2 sensor plug. The new...

Thank-you much.

Getting a bunch of codes (P0160, P0161, P0159, P1173) all indicating a bad oxygen sensor in "Bank 2, Sensor 2". I understand that "Sensor 2" is downstream of the catalytic converter (correct?) but I've gotten conflicting advice on which side of the vehicle for "Bank 2" (driver's or passenger's...

No ladder. I'll try the 'friction test' and adjustment. I assume the recall never made it over to LRNA.

The rear door on my wife's 2003 Disco II leaks profusely anytime we go through the carwash. Happens at any carwash and leaks a lot (enough to soak the carpet 6"+ into the trunk compartment). Never have trouble leaking in the rain - think it's just when water is sprayed horizontally at the rear...

My LR dealership here in Cincinnati told me that the Assured Warranty now only can be purchased by the original owner. I have a '03 Disco that I bought with ~5k miles and so the dealer is indicating that he thinks it is not covered. He seems to genuinely want to find a way to fit me into the...

I know this topic has been beat on repeatedly but I didn't find exactly what I needed when I search previous posts (so that's my apology in advance for rehashing the subject :) ). I am looking for a reasonable tire replacement for my wife's stock '03 Disco II S. The factory XPC's have been...

I believe the Series II uses proprietary wiper arms. Quick google search came up with $14 blades from Rovers North (http://www.roversnorth.com/RRD04/RRD04_77_80/RRD04_page77.htm). Probably most of the usual suppliers offer replacement blades at a comparable prices. Sounds like the Series I...
