Hey all, It has come time to rebuild my front end, after 200K miles, my steering has become a loose as a two-bit hooker. A little advice is sought. What is a list of parts that I should be thinking about? I know people here have waaaaay more experience in this category than I do, I just don't...

All, I may purchase a rig as a parts truck- 97 disco. It has a blown motor (I have no idea how bad it is yet) but I was wondering if there is any value in a blown block on the board. Would anyone buy it? If I can even get a few hundred out of it the purchase will prolly pay for itself. Let...

I've got no fuel pressure and I replaced the fuel pump relay today. I don't think (I've tested all wires into fuel pump) I'm getting power to the fuel pump. I figured it was a relay but unless I got a bad relay (it is used) there's something else going on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I posted an "alternator help" thread yesterday and now it's gone. One gentleman offered to sell me an alternator but both his PM to me and my PM to him are gone. What the hey?!?! I can't remember who it was tugua or something like that. Please PM me about the alternator. Thanks!

Okay, so this comes up all the time and I've searched but haven't found a post that answers the question. I have a 96 D1. I read a post that mentions a rectangle box on the pssngr side that is the charcoal box. My haynes talks about a round box (that mine has) that is on the pssngr side and...

Hello everyone. I've got some slight idling issues that are more of a nuisance than full blown problem. '96 D1 176K miles- When starting from cold, the idle will stay a little high. You'll drive a ways and when you come to a stop the idle is 200-400 rpm too high. If you sit at the light/stop...

Hey guys, I replaced my fuel pump a bit ago w/ a cheap one I found on the interweb. It works well but the output tube is just a smooth piece of plastic (no barbs or ridges). I have some good, pliable tubing going up to the housing. My problem is that the hose I'm using continually slips off...

Hey guys, my fuel pump relay is bad (i'm hoping) but none of the local shops have a part number for the relay. My stealership wants $60 for the relay and they have to order it. I'm sure there's a relay that can work but I need a part number if anyone has it. Thanks in advance!!! Lynden

'96 Disco, 161K on the clock. I've got a carrier bearing going out in the rearend. Do I rebuild or do I try to locate a used rearend? There are several disco's at the wrecking yard here, I could prolly find a used rearend. What years will not fit? If I decide to go the "rebuild" route about...

I need the multifunction unit (that includes wiper and headlight switches) for a '96 disco. I remember someone here sold OEM parts for a good price. Where does everyone shop. Thanks in advance. Lynden

I bought an accel kit a few years ago and had the correct 90 plug for the electronic ignition, but every kit I see now just has straight plugs. I just put a new set on and my rig is running like shit. I want to replace the wires but want something that fits better. Do I just need to go OEM...

The lady said I'm giving P0308 and P1314 codes. The description is cylinder 8 misfire detected. The thing runs fine w/ no check or service engine light. About 6 months ago I had to change a spark plug because the damned end had broken off. It was running rough as hell at that time and...

Hey guys. I was pulling a trailer on sunday. Was going pretty slow over the passes so I was using my hazards. Eventually I noticed that they weren't working and I must have burned something out. Just wondering what you guys think. My blinkers don't turn on at all. Not by turn signal or by...

Has anyone ever tried swapping out the engines for a 'merican motor. Besides engine mounts what would be the problems swapping one out? The intake and stuff on my '96 "looks" a lot like a 88 mustang 5.0 I had. Could you swap out a 5.0 for the rover motor. Also could you just have a custom...

I need some new shocks. I did the cheap bastard lift a few years ago and want some shocks that are 2 inches longer so I can actually use the extra drop. Does anyone have a part # for bilsteins or ranchos. And, what is your experience w/ rancho? Anyone have bad experience w/ them? Thanks.

Haven't been around in a long, long time. Love the format. Got a towing question. I just bought a snowmobile and enclosed trailer. It's prolly 2,900 lbs w/ two snowmobiles. I have the cheap bastard lift and 245/75 tires. Needless to say, it's a pain pulling the trailer. Around town there...
