    check my thinking...

    '03 Disco II with 92k miles has 3 Amigos + low speed squeak which sounds like it's coming from the right front wheel. I'm thinking bad wheel bearing, meaning new hub assembly. Make sense? How should I confirm the diagnosis before I start throwing parts at it? Also, any suggestions on how to...

    DIY exhaust

    I am getting ready to replace the rotted out exhaust on my 1985 RR. Took it to the local muffler shop who was going to charge about $675 to replace the headers back (dual exhaust + catalytic converter). Didn't seem like too bad a deal for a complete custom exhaust. I had never considered...

    (another) tire size question

    I'm going to try out a set of the High-Tec OTR MUD retreads (see the retread thread in the disco tech forum). I'm looking at at a MT that come in 215-85, 235-85, and 245-75 for R16. I've looked through the archives and found some good advice but had just a few follow-up questions and would...

    Which O2 sensor: "Bank 2, Sensor 2"?

    Getting a bunch of codes (P0160, P0161, P0159, P1173) all indicating a bad oxygen sensor in "Bank 2, Sensor 2". I understand that "Sensor 2" is downstream of the catalytic converter (correct?) but I've gotten conflicting advice on which side of the vehicle for "Bank 2" (driver's or passenger's...

Never have trouble leaking in the rain - think it's just when water is sprayed horizontally at the rear...

    A/T tires

    I know this topic has been beat on repeatedly but I didn't find exactly what I needed when I search previous posts (so that's my apology in advance for rehashing the subject :) ). I am looking for a reasonable tire replacement for my wife's stock '03 Disco II S. The factory XPC's have been...

    Disco II Mirror?

    I broke the passenger side mirror on my wife's 2003 Disco while messing around in the woods a few weeks ago (oops). Cracked the mirror glass (shattered pretty good) and busted up the plastic portion that attaches the mirror to the door (didn't crack the mirror housing, though). Couple...

    brake bolts

    I plan to replace the brake pads on my wife's 2003 Disco next weekend. I'm going to try some Lockheed pads I picked up from DAP. I noticed the workshop manual recommends using new bolts for holding the calibers in the housing after replacing the pads and I know the factory pads come with new...
