    Dead cat

    98' D1 - noticed a horrible rattling while idling from the bottom of the motor. My first thought was oh shit, a rod getting ready to exit the side of the block. After listening carefully and poking around underneath, I believe this noise is coming from the driver side catalytic converter. I...

    D1 steering components

    The tie rod ends are toast on my Disco. Wondering if it is worthwhile to upgrade the drag link and tie rod, panhard bar when I replace the ends? I don't want to spend money just for the sake of replacing parts but do not mind if this would be a worthwhile upgrade. If so, who's stuff would you...

    I'm sick

    I think I have caught the Rover bug. Bought my first, a D1, last year. The wife has taken a strong liking to it so I do not get to drive it much. Very cool truck, I like it too. We are looking forward to making some mods and wheeling it often this summer. We are fortunate enough to have...

    Analog clock compatibility?

    Anybody know if the analog clock from a P38 will fit in the place of the digital clock in a D1? When I was looking for my D1, one of the D1's I looked at had an analog clock in it. Owner said it was out of a Range Rover. No idea which one. I thought it looked cool.

    Tire chains

    I want to pick up a set of chains for my Disco. I want to have these on hand in case we get a shit hits the fan snow storm, I live in a remote mountain area and would like to have a better chance of being able to get out. I would also use these for an occasional snow four wheeling trip. I'm...

    D1 235/85/16's with no lift?

    The title says it all, can I stuff 235/85/16's under my D1 with no lift? This would be temporary, I need tires bad, bad and can't wait any longer. I have a set of 2" RTE springs and appropriate shocks. It is too damn cold right now to be crawling around under my truck installing a lift. I...

    D1 sliders

    I'm trying to decide which style of sliders I should pick up for my D1. I see two styles, those that mount to the frame and door sill and those that mount to just the sill. Which style works better for keeping my Disco intact?

    D1 Locker

    Anybody using a Detroit in the back and a Tru-Trac in the front on their D1? I'm considering this set up for my 98'. ARB's are a little out of my budget, though I could swing one for the rear and worry about the front later. I ran the older Detroit's front and rear on my FJ40. I liked not...

    Disco I lift

    I'm on a limited budget and want to start collecting suspension goodies hoping to have everything together and installed on the truck by next summer. This truck, my new to me 98' Disco, will be used for moderate four wheeling, maybe some more difficult stuff after I install a locker. I'm...

    A couple of newbie questions

    Pertaining to my new to me 98' LE; Rear fog lights, only one comes on, the driver side. Is there supposed to be one on the passenger side? I know an MB I use to own only had one. Sunroof maintenance: Both of mine actually work! Anything I should clean, lube, etc to keep them in good working...

    New Disco 1 owner - ignition/door key question

    Just picked up my new to me 98' LE Disco. Overall a nice truck with low miles, but I have found a couple of issues - The ignition key engagement is funky. You have to wiggle the key just right to get it to turn. I found a thread on a different forum for fixing this, basically involves...

    DII Lift questions

    It looks like I'm going to be buying a 2004 DII this coming week. The truck has 100k on it so I want to replace the front drive shaft asap. It also needs new tires, so I have a couple of excuses to lift the truck before dropping money on tires and a custom drive shaft(s). I'm not sure how...
