    Confirming Bad O2 Sensors

    You may have already orderd them but if not I would check the order #. My 99 D1 takes a different # . The page that comes up under the URL you posted is not the ones for the 99 as I read it and I would think they would be the same. uncletom

    98 Discovery Fuel pump no power

    I own a 99 D1 that had the same symptoms. Found that by tapping on the multi funtion relay ( the one you mentioned ) within 10 or so second after turning the ignition on, the pump would be energized and fuel pressure would come on. The relay in mine is in front of the washer bottle on the right...
