    P1451 Code

    So you probably have the wrong computer in the car. I just got a disco with a bad ecm. I swapped one from one of my parts cars only to find this fault. After looking the one does not have the dmtl valve so there is no connection there, I saw a post at some point a long time ago about this but...

    I'm stumped

    Have you pulled the line from the purge valve to the intake and checked to see if it is clogged. It can get carbon built up in it and cause no flow.

    2004 D2 - Center Brake Light Fell off

    Clean the surfaces of any residue. Remove the rear cover off the housing and use JB weld epoxy. Dont put the cover on for a day so the epoxy has good time to set and when you put the cover on dont tighten it or it will put tension on the housing.

    A frame upper ball joint fulcrum removal tips

    I used a sawzall and cut the assembly through the bolts before. I have also stuck the ball joint under the 20ton press and still had to use the oxy acetaline torch to get her to start moving. They can be really stuck in there.

    Traction Control Problems

    Sounds like you are on the right track. Note that if you replaced Just the sensor and not the hub the air gap between the sensor and the reluctor could be incorrect. I always replace the sensor with the hub. Doing the shuttle valve repair should have nothing to do with wheel speed sensor signal...

    Preferable clutch brands.

    Absolutely perfect. Not only is it a billit set its double roller and you can degree it. Way better than i expected. She is installed. Valve lash is set and after a year im back at slamming gears in the mud again. worth every penny for that timing set. You will be more than happy when you see it.

    Shocks to long

    Problem is that it was done when it was a new car and back then we didnt have the resources we have now, also attension to details when mixing and matching parts together. You should always look at up travel when doing an out of the box build. You need to know how much compression you have and...

    D1 motor mount replacement

    Pull the fan shroud loose, start with the broken one and if both broken do the drivers side first. rock the engine up on one side with a block of wood under the oil pan. Do one at a time. by rocking up one side of the engine there is more movement on that side before the transmission hits the...

    Shocks to long

    Just finished up repairing this and thought I would share. Both spring perches were braking off and cracked the frame. Stock shock towers and extended fox shocks with the bottom through bolt plate the shocks only had a couple inches of up travel before being at full compression. Mind you this is...

    Slow drain on battery 1996 D1 SD

    Not much that is common to do that. First thing that comes to mind is aftermarket LEDs anywhere in the car. tail lights, dome lamps... secondly is the alternator. Check to see if the center shaft of the alternator is magnetized. after those 2 things connect an DVOM on the battery and start...

    Best years of Discovery’s to look for when buying

    I will throw in my .02 I have had both D1 and D2 of all years and probably 100 of them (I am sitting on 8 right now) the D2 is more refined all around. its little stuff but a lot of it when you add it all up. smoother ride, more electronics, nicer seats... just much more refined car. Dont get...

    Oil Pressure Help Needed.
