That's my dream. It's my nightmare.

The story with the rover is that the previous owner was told that his oil pump was bad and it was too expensive for him to fix it. I cranked the engine manually and it turned (not seized, i think). There is clean oil in the engine at the proper level and it is leaking less fluids than my 1997...

Hey guys, Working on a 1995 disco pulled from a scrap yard. Having a problem getting the engine to turn over. When the key is turned, everything lights up on the dash but starter doesent engage. Other than the sensor in the gear shift, are there any other things that would stop the engine from...

Another pointer that just worked for me.... I was unable to remove the little pins that hold the linkage so i could not remove the entire setup to a bench top for a proper cleaning/unsticking so i did the work with everything installed in the vehicle. I removed the 4 smaller bolts and the...

this mod worked well and went together with no issues. Im currently running the switches/button to a box via a wire harness which is temporally Velcro-ed to the dash. Do any of you guys have pics of your setup mounted nicely in the vehicle?

thanks for the info. As for the price, is the 800.00 price tag reasonable?

The RAVE manual worked with the blinkers! Did some reading and found the location of the relay in question, plugged in another off of a 1995 and everything fired up. Thanks to everyone. I will have more questions later im sure.

ok, My recently purchased 1997 disco has some problems to include not being able to move the transfer case lever, back door that isnt opening, busted up bumpers, driver side electric window not working, etc. I ran across a 1995 at a junk yard that just arrived. The deal is $800.00 plus $30 to...

I guess my next question would be: How do i check the relays to see if they are bad? Ive read elsewhere that these are located in the passenger side kick panel. Ive also read that the multi-control unit (amr 5360) might be bad.

Ok, forgive my noob-ness. I found another switch directly above the switch that i thought we were talking about. The first switch (mounted closest to the floor) has the adjustable plunger. The second switch, has a white plunger surrounded by a red shroud. it looks the same as the other...

I can match them up and im working on that now. One thing to note, when i activate the turn signal, i get nothing. no relays, no lights, nothing. not sure if the problem can be localized further up the chain closer to the turn signal switch. Im going to try to check this next.

I pulled the connector for the switch and no improvement. does anyone have a supplier for a wire harness for the lighting system? My main goal right now would be to get at least the signals to start working, and im finding a bunch of broken wires near the bulb connectors. Im sure grounding...

Guys, Im the proud owner of a 1997 Discovery with 140,000 miles. Vehicle was purchased a few days ago and has a multitude of problems, several of which reared their head within the last 24 hours. this vehicle was in a front end collision and was repaired, half-assed, probably in a driveway in...

Thanks for the replys. I have been researching about common problems but im looking for ways to check for these issues when im laying on the driveway under the vehicle. A while back i asked the group about what year they would choose if they were in my position. the two top were 1995 and...

Hey there guys. I plan on buying a 1995 disco in the near future. The interior and exterior is not important, being that i want to take it on trails/camping, but i need a strong engine/trans. What can I look for/check out while im examining the vehicle? Looking for the typical failure points of...

Im new to the land rovers and I am looking to buy one in the near future. I dont want to use the thing for rock crawling but i do want to take it to some nasty places in northern michigan/ontario for trail riding/camping/etc. If you had the opportunity to do it all again, what model year would...
