The water pump is a brand new genuine unit. I swapped 1500 miles ago as the low rpm chirping just below idle and shut-down started. Same engine tick/soft knock sound was there prior. Alternator i just swapped to a new Denso unit. Nevada dust is tough on bearings.
Tend to agree with comments...
Thanks all,
For oil I have been running Mobile1 the whole lifetime since '97 with regular changes ~3-4K intervals - 10/40; or 15/50 when I can find it.
I will inspect the rocker arms in a few weeks. Not that difficult to inspect. If that checks out, i will look at the cam.
'97 D1 has slowly developed a tick or knock over the past 2 years. My ears are trained to Cummins and VW IDI diesels...hard to discern.
I could use a well-trained ear to get a reading if this is the common rocker arm wear out or the dreaded slipped liner. It just completed a 800 mile trip in...
SEL, or MIL, lite is out; no codes, no pending codes.
But the emissions readiness (self tests) are showing as incomplete using an OBDII scanner. Need these to be a "complete' status in order to pass a CA emisisons test.
No yield on searches, excpet an explicity description of "drive cycle C"
'97 dicso 5 spd; reset codes 2 months ago for random misfire, after changing out the bosch plugs plugs. Also drained the battery at the same time
The emissions readiness indicator -- the evap system readiness still shows at NOT COMPLETED (read with autox-ray 6000.)
Suggestions ?
I have same problem on '97. Finally got my first ever CEL illumination.
An Auto X-ray unit shows a "connected" status, but is unable to read codes. It appears it is not seeing power when the ignition is turned-on based on teh error message. Problem is not the scanner. I have checked the...
Use caliper spacers from GBR to fit your existing or new calipers; the come with new o-ring seals.
I attemped to use new D-90 calipers, but they have different brake line location.
In researching parts, the 2003 4.6L Disco2s have a revised booster and master cylinder. I was unable to determine the differences. Larger bore cylinder ?
Interchange question -- whats avail to address the head-end of the brake system -- bigger master & booster combo for a Disco 1 (97)?
Does any later model rover or newer UK 110s use a larger master and booster arangement ? Not interested in the hydroboost update, yet. Wann see if there is i...
With as much articulation I can get with static cross-loading, front tire clearance seems fine. 9/32s are rather skinny, the outer lugs on the tire drive the trimming.
? on front fender trim
97 D-1 w/ 3" lift - OME MD rear springs in front.
9x32 TSLs on 6.5 NATO rims
OME LTR-01 10" shocks and front spring cones.
Front bump stops ~1.5-2" lower than stock.
Doesn't appear the front fender needs any trim ? Anyone have this tire set-up
The rear fenders were...
Mine was leaking just drips from the WP gasket itself around one of the 3/8 bolts on drivers side. Torqued down and vanished. I later replaced the pump 1 yr later due to the chirping bearing at shut down or low idle.
Are there any differences in the headlight housings and resulting beam patterns for US (DOT approved) vs other RHD countries, for either D1 glass or D2 plastic housings.
My Engle set-up.

I had a pair of standard sil blades for 5 years F&R with excellent results...no skips on my D1. Worked wonderful along with rainx.
I tried a pair of PIAA silicone blades and ditched them after 1 month. All the Bosches I've tried don't take the sun well.
