Vehicle: 1998 Disco 1 Symptoms: ABS engages when it shouldn't. Usually over bumps (like driving over a manhole cover), and seems to be only the left front wheel. Sometimes throws a 2-14 ABS code, but not always. Previous work: Re-shimmed stub axle end to bring hub end float back into spec...

I need to replace the starter on my 98 D1. I found a lot of great info in the archives, such as this thread: http://www.discoweb.org/forums/showthread.php?t=36682 And this one: http://www.discoweb.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5920 Following the advice in the first thread and a couple of...

My 98 D1 with the factory radio/cassette/CD Changer has developed a popping noise while listening to the radio. I can't seem to duplicate the noise with the CD player and have yet to try a cassette. In searching, the only thing similar I've been able to find is this posting. I'm not...

Don't worry about it for now. I like your reasoning about posting someone elses interpretation of the ETM, rather than the whole ETM. I'll let you know if I change my mind later though. Thanks.

PT, I actually did that write-up after following it to fix my Cruise Control (I don't know who's hosting it now). I guess I figured that Snap-On probably has some agreement with Land Rover to distribute that info. I take responsibility for posting Snap-On's version and knowing what I know...

PT, Fair enough. I do have some questions that will hijack the thread, but hey, it's my thread so (if you don't mind) I'll hijack myself. So please, take what follows as a sincere attempt to understand these types of message boards and how people perceive posts to such message boards. That...

Hey, I wouldn’t call it a waste, I found lots of great information in the archives. Of course, I don’t maintain the server(s) so I couldn’t say for sure if it really is a waste. But I did find lots of good information on diagnosing various gasket leaking issues like in these posts...

I'm getting ready to do the head gaskets, valley pan gasket, VC gaskets, exhaust gaskets, and oil pan gasket on my 98 D1. I'm looking through the Rave CD and when I remove the A/C compressor, can I just remove the belt, unbolt it and move it out of the way? Or do I need to recover the R134a...

I came across some RAVE cd ISOs online but they are hosted on a UK site so I was wondering how much of a difference there would be between a UK and a US version of these manuals etc.? That is, if someone is comfortable doing some major wrenching (e.g., engine overhaul) and is aware that the CDs...

98 Disco I, driver's side seatbelt buckle squeaks when seatbelt is plugged in and moved any little bit. For the longest time I thought it was a squeaky spring in the seat, but finally narrowed it down to the seatbelt buckle. Is there some way to minimize or stop the squeaking? I was thinking...

Reply to both David and Joe David, I don't know if you've come across this yet or not, but here is my cruise control electrical troubleshooting guide. It should at least help you rule out electrical problems between the ECU and various buttons and the vacuum pump. Joe, did you get your ECU...

What I remember JB, From what I remember when I did it was just unplug the main electrical connection, a couple of screws that hold the ECU in place, and it's out. Reverse the procedure to install new one. I can't remember exactly what it cost, but I think I got my replacement at cost for...

Here's a troubleshooting guide I wrote this up (adapted from an CD Manual) as a troubleshooting guide for the entire cruise control system. This was for my 98 D1, I think it works for as early as 96, but I'm not sure about after 98. Good luck and HTH, Kit Cruise control troubleshooting guide

If anyone has any suggestions beyond my description below, I would greatly appreciate it. Not having a pick-up, I loaded up some bags of grass clippings and other assorted yard debris into the wife's Discovery to take to the recycling center. One bag had been sitting for a week (not inside the...
