    FUEL FILTER! Don't tell me I have to drop the TANK

    Although "Warpiggy" went about his post ALL the wrong ways and the truck he is getting is more for the soccer mom, I will agree there is some merit to his post. Why on earth, in this day in age, would a company NOT put a fuel filter that can be readily changed without pulling the pump? Most...

    DII front door locks not working after new battery

    All door locks were working great. The battery dies and car would not start. New battery and now both front doors do not lock/unlock with either the FOB or the dashboard switch. Each unit could not have been fried at the exact same time. It seems to be some setting or electrical glitch...

    Brake rotors stuck on

    Just last week I did the fronts on my 03 Disco. PB Blaster then I just hammered the holy heck out of them, then hammered them some more. Full size sledge hammer. My buddy and I did his 2000 Disco brakes a few weeks ago. We both had to have sledge hammers on either side of tires (all 4) to get...

    UPDATE- Just called dealer to check on status and got the following: The engine work is complete and the tech. noticed on his test ride that the front was shaking a bit, so we went ahead and replaced the DRIVE SHAFT. I had never felt any shaking and if I did it was very minimal and one would...

    Hoses still very hot, 4 hours after shut down.

    Its about 2:00AM and I was up doing some reports for work. I went to get a gallon of milk out side in the garage (another refrigerator) and could feel some residual heat from the Discovery as I walked in front of it. Weird,? since I pulled it into the garage at around 10PM. The radiator hoses...

    03 Disco 24K miles oil consumption

    Hi, I have a dumb question so dont throw stones... The manual states that the oil should be changed every 15K miles, based on this I assume they are using some type of synthetic. I got this car when it had about 19K miles on it, the owner had it changed at 15K and also before at 7.5K. I now...
