    99 DII...55k(used engine, thanks Will Tillery!!) Lately, and more often but with no particlar consistency, when I attempt to start my Disco, I get a "hissing" sound. The engine does Not start when this happens, nor does it turn over. It just makes a high-pitched hiss. It usually cranks up...

    99 DII A/C Issues

    Did some research before posting, but I'm not seeing symptoms similar to mine....99 DII, 100k approx... My a/c is not working properly. While I feel hot and cold air depending on the setting, there is no air "pressure" coming out of the vents. I notice that as I increase my speed, 'some'...

    Drive Shaft

    I had to get a special wrench that is longer, but is narrowed to fit the contour of the drive shaft. I think I ordered it through British Pacific, or Atlantic British. I think they call it a propshaft wrench. Pretty neat tool...

    Engine replacement cost

    I've recently made several posts regarding my 99DII, and it's need for a new engine. After my mechanic and I decided to go with a used, 47k engine out of Cali, they ended up selling it out from under us! Now, he has located a completely rebuilt 4.0, exactly like the one I had to begin with...

    questions regarding engine replacement

    I have a 99 DII, and am looking at having my engine replaced... I'm looking at one engine that has 47,000 miles, but I'm not sure (at the moment) what year model it is. I know it's a series II, between a 99 & 02ym, and I'm pretty sure it's an 02 based on the low miles. My question is, are...

    South Louisiana Rover Mechanic Needed

    Hello all. Sorry, been out of the loop for sometime, until last night my 99 DII w/ 145k had been running along nice and smooth. Now, I have issues. It overheated while on the interstate and I am pretty sure I blew a head gasket before getting to the shoulder. I had it towed to my house...

    ABS problems, need solutions!

    So the P1590 isn't actually telling me what's wrong? I guess I was thinking that the '1' in front of the '590' meant that I was getting a manufacturer-specific code. From what you are saying the Rovacom would actually pin-point the problem, more precisely? That really sucks. I was hoping...

    ABS problems, need solutions!

    Here's my issue (99 DII): About a week & a half ago I was driving through a small mud hole. While doing so, my ABS light flashed several times, then followed by HD/TC lights. Since then, they have remained on. My OBD II scanned a P1590 code (rough rode fault from what I understand). My...

    Gas mileage in the tank

    Re: Gas mileage in the tank....UPDATE Alright, after replacing the driveshaft, I was finally able to re-focus on my MPG. As an update, I was used to getting 14 or so on the highway...but all of a sudden I was getting 8 to 9. So I just finished replacing the plugs and MAF. I bought Magnacore...
