Thanks for the replies . Come to think of it, I've have the PO125 before and topped off the coolant and it cleared it up. I will check the coolant level ASAP. I would really hate to replace the cat again.

About 2 1/2 years ago I put new cats in my '96 disco. I didn't buy the Y pipe direct fit, but did a Marc O. Weld in. Well I have around 3k miles on them and I'm getting P0125 and P04020. (02 and a Cat). What gives? Anyone else have bad experience with doing there cats this way? BTW- had to...

Sorry Guys, I wished I saw these great replies prior to starting it up and wanted to wrap this thread up. Because I travel 80% of the time I got impatient, didn't charge the battery and ended jumping the vehicle (parasitic battery drain) and it started right up with no problems at all. In...

No ethenol requirements here. I think the fuel should be fine beig 9 mo old. Good idea on charging the battery!

My disco has been sitting for roughly 9 months without running. I have been working out of town quite a bit and have not had the chance to replace the starter, but will be getting to it here shortly. May be a bit of an odd question, but is there anything I should do prior to starting her up...

Couldnt find it on RAVE, but the circle on the manifold is the stem that is missing on mine (not my pic). You say its threaded?

So after two years of replacing the master cylinder and bleeding the brakes every couple of months I'm done with this hydroboost system. I picked up a stock vacuum boost/MC from a '98 an will lost likely replace it this next week. So hears my problem, For some reason the stem that comes out...

I have a pair of Curry Jointed Rear Links from Rovertym/RTE-FAB. These have been sanded and repainted with a heavy epoxy primer and an elastomeric two part urethane for durability and they have not been installed since I painted them. These do include both grease-able joints, however- one is...

Well Singingcamel, you were on the money! New cap and rotor definitely made an improvement. I also tried adjusting the timing (which has helped the "popping" but it hasnt completely fixed it). It will be getting new plugs and wires tomorrow am from the new owner who is replacing his '95 with...

I will definitely test the vacuums assist tomorrow. Singingcamel- you really think a new cap and rotor will make a significant difference and not just performance? When I get a moment I will pull a plug and check it. It's hard to be motivated to work on a vehicle outside in 20 degree weather!

Im no expert, but I think those points look pretty good. Before I run up and get a replacement, is there anything that could be wrong with the rotor or cap that is not visual?

Looks like the LUCAS cap and rotor is the way to go. I can get it from BP-utah (and they are in my back yard) for $38. I guess its worth a shot!

Is there any way to diagnose these parts prior to buying parts?

Yes the light turns on when the ignition is on. Not sure if its the cats as the exhaust appears to be in good shape and I dont hear any rattling noises from the cats. (not ruling it out though)
