Not sure if this is normal, because my other 3 rovers never did it, in fact most the time at 60 there was no kickdown... but this 96 I finally got up and running, you kick it down out 60, it downshifts 2 gears and you take off... Here's video of it .... Kick down at about the 1 minute mark...

Truck idles at 2000 RPM. Put it into gear, idle is fine. Drive around idle is fine. Put it into park or neutral, Idle goes back up to 2000 rpm. 96 D1. .

Looks like my ECM is bad... good going in bad signals coming out. All I have access to here is a 95's ECM which of course will not work. Anyone have a ECM that I could put into the truck? Thanks

Learning how to do OHM reading of my sensors.. ran out and took a coolant temperature sensor reading with the truck cold... I had to switch the meter to 20k to even get it to read, and the reading was 3.96 With the truck a little warmed up, and OHM meter set to 2k it read 485, (temp needle...

Now that Off Road Outback is gone, is there anyone in the Chattanooga area that can work on Discos? I really don't want to have to take it to the dealer cause I know they will just swap parts without actually figuring out what part was actually bad. my issue has to be a sensor issue, which I'm...

Was low on fuel, but was out working on the truck and fired it up. Started as usual ran it for a few minutes and shut it down. Came back out 45 min later to take it to gas station and it would only turn over... Figured I must be out of gas. Pour 4 gallons in and still nothing. I have pressure...

Did a search, looks like it's been years since this was talked about... It there any solution to programming the ECU in a Gems 4.0 96-99 D1? I know, buy a testbook.... But hell the things cost as much as my 2 trucks put together.... The dealer here wants 150 bucks just to program the ECU for...

Does any here know of a service center that can program this 96 disco for me? I'm replacing the TPS. and would like it gone over. It's of course going to require someone with the "Testbook" or something similar... I have tried to call The outback place behind the ford dealership, but their...

Here's a break down of the history. This truck sat for about 8 months, basically abandoned in a Walmart parking lot. I finally left my name and number on it, and was going to just see if I could buy it as a parts truck. Couple weeks later, guy met me at it with title and sold it to me for 1000...

Ok, it's simple hot as hell here in Georgia. Took my 96 down to get the new pipe and muffler, (flowmaster 40.) and they ended up not having a Y, so I have to wait till monday now. Got the truck back home and fix a lot of little things... Took apart the seat controls, disassembled the switch...

Need a set of springs and shocks for my 96 D1. Don't want to spend a ton. Currently it has the factory set, with 186k on them, totally shot. Don't care if they are standard or 2 inch lift. The only wheeling I do is to get out and take pictures. Or, does someone know the best resource for a...

Got the new gaskets today for the rocker covers. Removed the first and everything is so covered in sludge. I'm literally scooping it out. should I clean them, or leave them alone. If I need to clean them, how? I'm guessing spraying them with engine degreaser would be a bad idea... On another...

Ok, this should be a simple question for one of you. My Instrument bezel (the one the houses the speedometer etc with the 4 push button switches on each side) What order do the wire plugs go in? There is a white black blue and green for each side. In the manual it's called the "Instrument...

This 96 I bought had a set of original rover sheepskins on the seats. The original owner drove off the dealer lot with them already on and they had never been taken off it's entire life. (The Seats look AMAZING because of this. Like new.) I'm thinking I may go ahead and put them back in, but...
