    04 Disco alternator 14.5V at idle

    I have 04 Disco. 2nd to last battery lasted 3 years. Last battery lasted 12 months. I replaced battery today and truck starts fine. I put multimeter on and alternator in charging battery at 14.5V. I was told alternator should not charge above 14.2V. Does this sound right?

    how much is an 04 Disco worth?

    Pretty sure RMS has a slight oil leak. I could have the person who put the engine in replace the gasket, but at this point in time I just want to get rid of the truck.

    rear main replacement

    Yeah leaked from day 1. Going to have fixed over the next two weekends. AB needs to do a much better job with the short block. Spray paint on the head surface, not sure why they even bothered to paint the block. I had my heads done locally and they look brand new. Aluminum block should have...

    rear main replacement

    I got reman short block from AB. It leaked from day 1 after it was installed. So pretty certain of the issue. Plan was to take off transmission and transfer case. I guess we could pull the engine again. And by we I mean a mechanic friend, this is way past my knowledge of the truck. Looking for...

    new radiator leak

    Last night I washed off engine, radiator, frame of truck. Today I went for 5 hour drive. I checked the front frame of the truck and there is coolant inside of it. Thinking its the radiator as everything else is dry.

    new radiator leak

    new coolant leak, in the right (passenger) front. Looks to be seem on lower part of radiator or lower coolant hose. I pressure tested, but could not get issue to occur, so I don't think its the coolant hose, more likely the seem between aluminum and plastic. Running engine now and trying to find...

    right rear brake caliper 04 Disco new or rebuild?

    www.roverparts.com sells the TRW right rear caliper (p/n BHU117) so I bought that. I also bought STC1910 and changed the pins. Caliper didn't come with 2 new copper crush washers for the banjo bolt, so I just reused the old ones. No leaks and brakes are happy again.

    04 Disco rocking drivers seat

    Are you saying the "S" seat has the same rock back and forth issue like the "SE" seat or that the "S" has the same movement features as the "SE" seat, I thought the "S" has less movement options, but I could be wrong - perhaps the only difference is the lumbar support? Would be an easy fix if...

    replacement springs - stock 04 Disco

    I ended up getting AllMakes rear springs from Lucky8. His price is much better than AB for same part number. Qty 2 P/N RKB101100 Hub center to wheel arch distance now measures 18.5 inches on each side. I think I'm going to do the front too.

    04 Disco rocking drivers seat

    I have two of the same seat (04 SE drivers side). I plan on mounting the spare seat to some wood and hopefully figure it out. I hope its something easy, but if not then perhaps tracking down a "S" seat, but be the best. I could always move the leather over. So the "S" seat has the exact same...

    04 Disco rocking drivers seat

    Has anyone figured out how to fix the rocking drivers seat on 04 Disco? Does the drivers seat from an "S" have the same issue? If not, does the "S" seat fit in the "SE" model? thanks

    P0130 and P0150 and SRS issue

    Black plug goes in the front of the seat, take front plastic thing off the seat bottom to see. Did you use Detoxit to clean the connectors or just plug them in/out a bunch of times? Usually this has fixed the SRS light issue for me.

    2004 D2 - Heater not working, Vehicle overheating, Coolant Boiling

    When my 04 did this I used UVIEW 560000 Combustion Leak Tester (bought it from Amazon) to check for exhaust gases in the coolant. Do the coolants hoses pressurize past 20psi?

    Do I have the connectors plugged into the right spot?

    Peter, I was thinking of the bottom two connectors as I think they can be plugged in the wrong spot. So far it seems like I got the colors (connectors) in the right spot. Just today I was adjusting the drivers seat to try to find a fix for the rocking back and forth it does and had occasion to...
