    *SOLD* 97 Disco SE - Birmingham, AL

    ‘97 Disco with 1787XX miles. Cranks up and runs. Needs some TLC. Reach out for specifics. This was my daily driver for 6ish years but had sadly sat, mostly undriven, for the last 2 years. This has been a super fun vehicle to own but I need to part ways. This most likely won’t be a daily driver...

    WTB: D1 in the Southeast

    What are you looking for in a D1? I have one...love it...but willing to part ways. Not white. More of a faded avalon blue.

    97 Disco Fuel/Other Issue

    Howdy every one! Replaced just the fuel pump and all is right in the world...for now! I just used an ACDelco EP241 pump for the rebuild (plus strainer and fuel line). I've been driving on this for about a week now and all seems good. Trying to put it under as much stress as possible too. Steep...

    97 Disco Fuel/Other Issue

    Thanks for the info every one! I haven't had any time to work on my truck recently...working on updating a kitchen. I will let you know as soon as I get to the bottom of it/come up with more questions!

    97 Disco Fuel/Other Issue

    Good to know! Is there a way to check the wiring harness? This is probably an important factoid...my fuel gauge works...occasionally. Had an alternator go out about 2 years ago and it started giving me grief then. Just says I'm empty until a little less than 1/4 of a tank. No idea if these are...

    97 Disco Fuel/Other Issue

    Howdy, My 97 disco was giving me issues around this time last year. Replaced the fuel filter...no issue for the entire year. Around May it started struggling (misfires, hard to start, loss of power) and then a few weeks later I was driving and it just died. Got it started. Drove it to the...

    Parting out 96 D1 LSE

    What is the condition of the front seats? Really...just the cushions. Also, do you still have the fuel pump? If so, is yours one with the AEL? That's a shame no one jumped on your disco...looks great!

    Electric to Manual Sunroof?

    I'm curious if anyone has gone converted their disco's electric sunroofs to manual? Mine don't really work and my AC is...well...I live in the south, so airflow is a must. Looking forward to seeing if anyone has done this and what all resources are out there. Thanks!

    Loss of Compression/Fuel Starvation?

    Howdy, I have a 97 Disco. I love it, but recently I've been having some issues with it losing compression while driving. It will slowly begin to die/drop power...and occasionally die. Historically this problem arose after driving a long time and then turning the disco off for a minute and...

    Battery light on-no RPM or Fuel gauge

    Alternator was totally shot. Was driving fine then everything failed. Pretty great timing as it happened during rush hour as I was heading to pick up the alternator. Whoop! Sorry I've gone dark on any update since. Was in the middle of acquiring multimeter and doing more research. All roads...

    Battery light on-no RPM or Fuel gauge

    Hi all, This is my first post and my first disco. So, I'm a little green but have loved learning about it! Either way, I'll just start from the top. My 97 disco SE and I were heading back from fishing when I started to notice my fuel gauge was reading less and less fuel. Now I know this beast...
