    Metallic "chirp" on Rt turns

    I got the "new" used hub from Will this afternoon. (Thanks Will!) Once it's installed with the new ABS Sensor, with the ABS computer reset itself? And will the three amigos go away? Or will I need to reset the codes?

    Metallic "chirp" on Rt turns

    I was just looking at my truck and turned the wheels hard right and left. I noticed on the right front hub what appears to be the remains of a circular seal or something gone bad.

    Metallic "chirp" on Rt turns

    Guys, I recently did a brake job and replaced all four rotors and pads. Everything seemed fine. Used appropropiate amounts of grease on the caliper/pad touch points and behind the pad shims. I drove it for a few days and properly broke in the pads/rotors. Yesterday, I was pullng a trailer...

    ACE Problems and Options

    No, I've never replaced the filter. Nothing seems to be leaking, no evidence of fluid around anything, plus the fluid in the resoviour seems consistant. I have read that the system is sensitive to the ingress of dirt.

    ACE Problems and Options

    I just read elsewhere that to delete the system, it just requires removing the pump, changing the belt and re-programing. Is that it? If so, how would it drive, as if no sway bar system?

    Just to follow up... turned out the stater was dead. I disconnected it from the battery and used a battery charger to try and turn over the stater before I took it out. no go! Got a new starter from NAPA for $179 and we're good to go. Thanks everyone!

    tips or tricks replacing power steering line (box to pump)

    Paul, I did mine a few years ago, As I recall I just moved the ACE pump and AC to the side. I didn't have to take them out. And as someone mentioned, there is a plastic inner fender you can remove to give you more access. Good luck! -John Shouldn't you be wrenching on an MG instead? lol

    battery in the cab of the Discovery

    When car batteries charge they produce hydrogen. Though it is a small amount and tends to dissapate quickly, it's very explosive. I would keep it outside the cab and in a place where it can vent. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_the_gas_given_off_a_car_battery_harmful

    '99 D2 Starting Issue

    Just more out loud thoughts. I can hear the click when the shifter is P or N. But if I try to turn the key in any other gear there is no click at all. Weird.

    '99 D2 Starting Issue

    I found a thread on the XYZ Switch. Seems it tells the ECU the location of the shift lever and won't let it start if not in Park. Mine won't start either in Neutral. Could that still be the XYZ switch?

    White Roof on Rover

    I saw this Disco the other day on the Northway (I-87) between NYC and Albany. I really liked the white roof and wheels. My '992 is also oxford blue (like this one) but I have a SD Rack. Looks like he also had AB steel wheels like mine. I'm considering doing this to my D2. The roof is...
