Hi All, Just an observation. Could not locate some of my recent threads today. It appears as if many threads are missing because the pages of threads seems very low to me. Does anyone else agree? Thanks,

2003 Land Rover Discovery Hey All, My SRS comes and goes. North Texas British told me my Air Bag Control Module is shot. Is this the same as a SRS ECU from Rover Land Parts for $95. If yes, is it plug and play? I assume that the battery negative terminal should be disconnected before work...

Happy Friday All, Last week I started to here the fluttering sound from the front drive shaft. Sounds like a playing card in the spokes of a bicycle wheel back in the day. The fluttering slows down as I come to a stop, so I am 95% sure its the drive shaft. I plan to replace over the winter...

Hi All, I got SRS error light. Fixed the connector, but light comes back on. When I pull codes I only get 0x90 error. ABS no error, Diagnostic no error, SRS 0x90 error. Where should I look? Could not find my other thread about the SRS, so here I am. My SRS had been turning on after around 10...

Hey Guys, I bought genuine Land Rover rotors, but it looks like they were painted. Do these come with paint or is it some kind of protective coating? The layer of paint is coming off, but some bits are stuck in the pads. I guess it will blow off with time. Thanks,

Hey All, Replacing a leaking Wheel Hub Assembly today. Calls for loctite 648. Do I really need it? Thanks, "Are we talking the 365 ft/lb stake nut on a D2? Once that is torqued and peened in position, that son-of-a-bitch ain't go'in no-where." I think the 648 is to prevent fluid leaks and...

Hi All, I was on my way home from work Friday and noticed my SRS light was on. I connected my Autel AL619 and pulled the code below: 20 Open circuit fault in RH pretensioner circuit So, I believe it has something to do with the front passenger seat belt pretensioner. What should I...

Can someone tell me why the gas caps stick after around 8 to 10 months of use. I have had my Disco for 6 years and am on my fourth gas cap. They become so sticky which prevents proper seal, therefore throws false misfire codes. Thanks to everyone for the great comments. I sanded my old STANT...

Hey All, Every 5 to 8000 miles I go to Firestone and get my 5-tire rotation done. And, every time the person at the front desk insist that I get a 4-wheel alignment. They show me the slight feathering of the front tires, but I tell them it goes away after a couple thousand miles. Should I let...

I recently bought 5 Bridgestone tires for my 03 Discovery. The original Goodyear spare was manufactured in 02, so I replaced it. I met with the store manager and he mentioned a five tire rotation. He proposed spare to rear right (passenger side), rear right to front right (passenger side), front...

Hey All, I have a leak from the lower part of my drivers side rear caliper. I am not losing any brake fluid, so I think it is some type of seal. In any case, I can't find the part on any of my usual sites. What do you guys think? https://picasaweb.google.com/MapMan97/Leak I wanted to update...

Hey All, I have an 03 Discovery II with around 133,000 miles. The drivers side rear door latch quit working about six months ago. I suspect it's the actuator, but was hoping for something more obvious. I removed the door panel and don't see any broken pins or rods. Again, it's only one door and...

Hey All, I was wondering how long it takes to change the valve cover gaskets, plugs, and plug wires from beginning to end? I am a little above average mechanic and will refer to the shop manual quite a bit. I do plan to remove the intake (plenum) manifold. Thanks,

It's that time. My Rover hit 120,000 miles, so it's time for a tune up. I plan is to change the plugs and plug wires among other things. What gaskets do I need to replace? I also plan to remove the upper manifold to replace the valve cover gaskets. In addition, what are the best plugs and plug...

Happy New Year!! I am having some house work done, so I have to park my Disco II on my driveway, which has a 30 degree incline. Now, my brake master cylinder is leaking. So, is this common when you park on a slant? Or, is it time to replace the brake master cylinder?

RotoFlex change. Easy and straightforward? or Difficult and perplexing? Any additional tips? Thanks,

I was wondering if the RAVE approach to a coolant change is the best way? I have read the pros and cons of draining the block and want to know what has worked best.

Hey All, I have recently removed the plastic shield that is placed under the oil pan and oil filter. Now that I have tracked down all the oil leaks and continue to repair, very minor, I am thinking of leaving the plastic shield off. It sure is nice when changing the oil and just having the...
