I love my truck! I pulled into my driveway and KA-BAM! the drive shaft dropped off the rear diff. It made a huge noise and my wife came running out to investigate. So it looks like a new drive shaft and u joints for me. I have some great pix but the attachment manager tells me I am full but I...

On this cold and rainy day in Louisville KY I was on my way to work and my awesome 1997 Disco started doing something crazy when I stepped on the gas. The truck started to shake violently. I limped the truck to work but am worried out the ride home. I have a few idea but could use some good...

i just put in my new starter from www.britishstarters.com and it ROCKS. The starter was 250 bucks and has a life time warranty. The Starter sounds like a jet plain. If you are ever in the market for a great starter this one is worth the extra money.

I have gone through 2 fuel pumps in under a year and I always keep the gas out of the red in my 97 disco. Am I just very unlucky or could I have anther problem???????

50 bucks

Last weekend I found a warn winch at a yard sale. The winch was in a bucket but it looks like most of the parts are in the bucket. I had a friend that owns an electric motor repair shop test the motor and solenoids and everything works great. I guess I got lucky. Now my question, Can I weld this...

What do you think of the britishstarts.com start? It looked a lot better that a Bosch.

Dude you are smoking crack. I think you could do it in an hour if you had all the tools. It is one of those jobs once you do it once and understand it the next time it is cake. I find most jobs on Rovers are like that.

I have a 5 month old little girl and she and my wife gang up on me when i get home. I love to work on my rovers and you are correct I should just pay someone but honestly I like the distraction.

Just order a new starter from britishstarters.com Very good idea and looks like a great value. I am going to keep the crap starter I won on e-bay for a back up. This jobs suck so bad I never want to have to do it again and the starter on britishstarters looks great. Thanks and I hope I get it...

Ok last night I went to war and I am much closer to understand how to get the starter off the block. I snaked in a 12' extension with an 8mm allen shocked from the front of the disco but could not get the extension with the allen socket to line up because the o2 sensor was in the way. However...

Re: Old Man Emu Spring conversation question Perhaps it is RM 46 they are big black 2' lift springs. I just put a set on my disco. I love the Old man Emu ride both on and off road.

My Friend called me today and gave me a set of new old man emu springs for a 1997 disco. I believe the tag reads r46. My question is simple I am doing a spring conversion on my wife's 2002 Rover, can I use these springs? I am so cheap it hurts sometimes. Thanks as always

My starter and bolts are soaked in 10w30 and I will be surprised if they are hard to get out once I get the allen wrench into the allen bolts.

Thanks Musketman! I will give it a try tonight. I will snap a few pix so everyone for the rest of time understands how to swap a starter. :applause:
