    LR3 V6 - reliable?

    Hey folks, I've had a few older Disco's, Range Rover Classics and still got my Series 2A (gotta keep it for the fun factor). I'm looking at an 06' LR3 with the V6 (SE) and have drivin' it and it still seems to have a fair bit of power. I'm not looking to tow anything heavy with it or race...

    Water Pump Install

    Hi folks, I'm going to install a new water pump this weekend on the 93' RRC Lwb. I have a new gasket and a tube of hylomar. Do I use them both or just the gasket or just the hylomar. Anybody have recommendations? On my old Disco a few years back I believe I just used the gasket. Thom

    starter relay 93' LWB

    Could anybody tell me if the starter relay on a 93' RRC is in the same place as on the 95' RRC? The "rave" (only tech book I have right now) only shows 95' classics even though the pic on the cover (electronic cover) shows a much older classic. The ravey shows the relay on the passenger side...

    Odd....even for a Rover?

    I left the lights on on my 93' RRC Lwb 4.2l one day last weekend and ran the battery dead. After I charged it up it would not start......no clicks just dash lights and no other sounds. I didn't have any problems before hand. It was quite cold but never had a problem with it before. I had the...

    Rear Diff

    Hi guys, I was driving about on the highway yesterday and without warning I just seemed to loose power (not all just a little loss) and then a horrible squeak/ growl started from under the RRC (1993 LWB). I pulled over right away and noticed steam (we have snow) coming from what I thought was...

    Clacking and Popping

    Hey guys, Been getting a sort of repetitive clicking/popping sound when turning sharply coming from what sounds like the drivers side wheel. I checked both front wheels for play and only the drivers side seemed to have some. I've pulled it apart to check the wheel bearings and both nuts were...

    TPS and Fuel Pressure Question

    Ok...I've searched the forums and TSB's etc.... How do you test the TPS? The reason I ask is because for some time now I've had the usual Disco low idle/fluctuating idle. At first the Disco would sometimes just stall out after being warm. I took it to a mechanic (non-LR guy- none in my area)...

    Help- rust!

    I'm getting the dreaded Disco rust on the rear wheel wells. Anybody have a good (economical) fix? I want to fix it right and I have some bodywork experience and some basic body tools and mig welder. The body panels are alumunium right? What's the best approach to fix this?

    Weird noises from underneath

    Hey guys, I was travelling home from a job 2 hours from home and on the way my 96' Disco suddenly seemed to be getting louder (under load only) almost like a muffler blown kinda sound but it doesn't rumble when idling. There is no loss of power (I think I even had better gas mileage). The...

    Tie Rod Ends for Track Rod

    I just recently tried to replace the tie rod ends on my track rod (96' Disco). Took a little coaxing but I got them off without too much effort. When I ordered them I ended up getting a right hand and a left hand thread I never realized or even thought of it but when I took them off it turns...

    Disco Down

    Hey guys, my 96' Disco has been suffering from the usual erratic idle that seems to be so common. However, recently it has been getting worse. Last week while driving home a few times it seemed to "stumble" every once in a while. Then one day it wouldn't start. (turned over fine not firing). I...

I clear them and monitor (I should replace it soon) .....but the other day when the CEL came on I got a P0125 code. Does anybody know if this usually means the Coolant temperature Sensor is starting to go...

I have the stock Michelins on my 96' Disco and I've changed the front drivers' side tire cus I was told by a tire guy it was out of round and I was getting steering wander and some shakes. It stopped...

    Fuel Filter ---Help!

    96' Disco V8: I know this is a typical problem but I've been "blasting" the fuel filter connections for about a month now (every day or two). It's gotten to the point that I've now rounded the nut on the fuel line side (16mm one) even with a fuel line wrench. Any suggestions? This thing will...

    Idle and Air

    Hello All, I've been experiencing erratic idle on my 96' Disco (4.0L V8 85000 miles) for a little while. I've cleaned the stepper motor, had a LR mechanic adjust the idle, checked for vacuum leaks, changed the fuel filter and checked the fuel pressure. After all that, I still have crazy idle...
