Anyone have some experience removing the frame from a 1994 D1? Sixteen years of NE winters with salty roads has taken it toll. It's time to restore or get a new truck. I really like the simplicity of the early D1's so I'm up for the restore. Has anyone done a frame off on a Disco? I've thought...

Well the transfer case is in need of some repairs. I've always had the clunk between drive and reverse but it has gotten worse. The u-joints were changed a year ago and a they are still good. The case is leaking from the front output seal and the bottom cover. It looks like the previous owner(s)...

The link in the Tech Section for repairing the window ecu is not working. My rear windows won't go down and I hoped to fix it this weekend. Anyone have the info on how to repair it?

What does a Throttle potentiometer do exactly? :confused: A week ago the engine stalled while backing out of the driveway. It was took several tries to start it again and it has been fine since. The check engine light came on after it re-started and the code was 17 which leads to the question...

Help me clear out my garage. Here are some D1 parts that have to go. :D Pair of D1 Headlights w/bulbs but no rubber trim gaskets. $35.00 Washer fluid bucket with pumps. It's dirty but doesn't leak. $15.00 Pair of stock front shock towers. The usual rust. $5.00 Stock Track Rod and Drag Link...

Has anyone found a better rubber exhaust hanger? Seem to replace them alot. They just rot and split. :banghead: Is there something better?

My front RTE bumper is getting rusty in spots. A search of this board shows it's a common problem. I could chase rust spots for ever with Rustbullet paint and flat black spray paint, but that's not fun. Some people mentioned Line-X bedliner or similar products. I'd like to know if anyone has...

I need to replace my headliner, again. My first try at it wasn't so great. Looked good for a year but I didn't use enough adhesive and it drooped again. So since I'm going to try again, and I think I can get it right this time, I'm looking for something different. I've "googled" just about every...

My wife brought the rover in for an inspection sticker. It failed because it did not have front parking lights. :banghead: The small bulbs in the headlights are the front parking lights....right?

The D1 has been throwing code 48 for awhile. I cleaned the stepper motor , cleared the code and a few weeks later the CEL is on and code 48 is back. The truck runs fine so this is must be a minor hiccup. I want to check the base idle before condemning the stepper and read some instructions on...

Has anyone had any experience with a Catco Y-pipe assembly complete with cats for a 1994 D1 ? I need a new one and the price on the Catco is $395.00. It says it's stainless steel pipe but I don't know if it's the same quality as orginal. I was getting a rattle on the right side and removed the...

I just did a compression check on a 1994 3.9L Disco. Test was done dry, engine hot ( went for a drive before testing) The readings are: Left side front to back 148 146 148 145 Right side front to back 149 145 144 144 Seems low? I thought I had a head gasket problem. Exhaust smelled like...

Well it looks like new head gaskets are in my future. I haven't pulled the plugs yet to verify but I noticed this weekend the exhaust has a sweet antifreeze smell to it. The coolant looks normal and the level looks OK. I haven't done a head gasket change before. So I have questions. My D1 has...

My denso compressor has a leak at the seal area shown on the picture below. The picture isn't exactly like mine, but the leak is on along the casing seal. Can this be repaired, or should I just replace it ?

I was working on the rover this weekend ( aka: typical weekend ) and I noticed something happen with the purge valve on top of the canister. While the engine was running the valve was rapidly clicking. Is this normal? Never noticed it before. Also. I read somewhere that if there is a strong...

I installed this today. Was an easy job. It adds some weight to the hood and makes a nice solid sound when you close the hood. I can't comment on the engine noise yet, still working on the A/C system, but that should be sorted out next weekend. Here is what you need to buy. Dynamat Xtreme...

Well age is catching up to my 94 D1. The bottom seam of the door skins on the LH driver and passenger doors have corrision. This problem runs the entire length of both doors and is creeping up the sides. The aluminum is brittle and the steel underneath has rust. Can a body shop repair this? Or...

Does anyone know the o-ring sizes for the evap coil, compressor and drier/receiver? I need to reconnect the evap lines, drain the oil and and add new oil to the compressor and install a new drier/receiver. Never knew there were so many different auto a/c o-rings to choose from.
