I have been in your exact situation. If you submit your receipts in addition to proof of all factory options, you can increase the amount paid to you by their insurance company. I increased one payment by $3,000. In another instance my 97 Disco was rear-ended. The cost of replacing the...
The tie bar connects the steering box to the upper Panhard rod frame support. It broke off due to classic metal fatigue after careful analysis afterwards by an aerospace engineer. My tie rod ends and all bushings were fine. The tie bar is mentioned in the Rave manual as it is how you "set"...
Recently my 1997 Discovery SE developed a sudden front end vibration that I have seen described as a "death wobble" and for good reason: I literally thought that the front wheels or front axle had become disconnected from the vehicle. This happened at freeway speeds making it even more...
We have a number of vehicles and four Land Rovers, two RR (93 LWB & 95 4.0SE), and two Discos (96 SE7 & 97 SE). Our Southern California County LWB my wife has declared is the best vehicle I have ever bought. Unrestored but perfectly maintained, it is unfailingly reliable, rust-free, and...
Thank you! The answer I was looking for. Upon initial start up the injection rail pressure was great. Injector(s) must have failed after running for a bit. Truck's done 10 miles since sitting after 2 years. I will do a leak down fuel injection pressure check, now that I know that the fuel pump...
Thanks. I searched the board and found out the 3 turns starting issue is not an unusual occurence. I suspect it's my fuel pump relay, due to the 20 second timeout, but can find no information on the proper function of the Discovery fuel pump relay. I would think that the relay should stay on the...
I have a LOT of cars/toys, of every brand and category. My wife says that "our" (her) County LWB is the best purchase I've ever made. With the EAS working like it's supposed to, it's hard to fault. It gets better gas mileage (26 mpg on a very long trip!) than almost every other car that we own...
I purchased a Discovery, non-running, at auction, and just correctly replaced the fuel pump and filter, as well as a 100K mile service. Fuel pressure tests OK at the fuel rail, but vehicle does not start until three turns of the key to get the fuel system pressurized. I've timed the operation of...
