Quick background: 1997 Series I disco, 150k miles, two years ago I was towing a bike to the shop and the oil pressure light came on. I limped it home the ten miles after the light came on by stopping every few miles and letting it cool (letting it sit the oil pressure light would not...

Hey all, a quick background on my issue: 1997 Disco1 4.0V8 ~150k miles A year or so ago my oil light started flashing a bit here and there one day. The next day after a ~100 mile trip towing a motorbike the light came on near home and the engine started making a terrible racket. I parked the...

OK, so I parked the rig a year ago when the oil pressure went bye-bye and it was making some terrible oil starved racket. So I'm figuring a major rebuild (i.e. project type fix). So first things first, remove the oil sump and clean out the crud and sludge and the pickup tube and hope that...

97DI, 120k miles Synthetic oil It was pretty damn hot out and I was doing a lot of city driving when I noticed that at a stop or idle the oil light would flicker (sometimes if I was stopped long enough it would come on solid). Give it a bit of gas and the light goes out. Does not come on...

I found the problem of my sagging door, the torx bolts on the upper hinge are [hopefully just] loose and have backed out of the door. I have no torx bits at all (all this time and never needed them, imagine that) so I need to pic up one (for now), so what size do I need? T40? TIA

Darn thing has been sagging for a while now, when you close it it strikes against the B-pillar. How do I re-align this thing?

OK, I'm in full take advantage of car prices mode (just happens to be convenient that it happens around the time when my need equals my wants) and my wife had her dreams of a new(er) discovery dashed when one local was sold before we got to it. However, when one door closes a Range Rover...

We are toying with the idea of picking up an newer disco (can't really bring myself to like the LR3/DiscoIII). Would an HSE trim level have too many things that go break in the night? Do they all have air suspension? I've known that to not work so well in the long run on range rovers.... How...

OK, on random occasions when I go to turn the key to fire the truck up I get nothing but a whoooshing sound like a facet is open under the hood. Nothing else happens. Put the key back to off and try it again and it starts right up. WTH?

When cold, below freezing, at start-up and for a few minutes afterward the pump makes a wailing moan regardless of which direction it is turned. Is this a sign of a failure coming or a sign that I should find a different fluid? 1997 DI TIA

OK, '97 Disco Series I. As noted in this thread my brake switch gave up the ghost and to get her home I jumped the defrost power to the tail lamp power using a fuse. In doing so I shorted out the LH rear tail lamp assembly (haven't had a chance to pull it out and inspect it, but I kept...

OK, 97 disco I. Ran errands in town all day. Last errand came out and started up but wouldn't shift out of park. Walked home :( came here and ran a search. Walked back to the rig, fiddled with the switch. No go. So I just wanted to get it back home but couldn't figure out: 1)how to get...

Troublesome post two of two for the day, I 'spose all the bits start giving up the ghost after 100k miles? :D Okay, on occasion when I go to start the DiscoI it?ll just grind and won?t start. Turn the key to off and have another go at it and it?ll start up. From what I understand this may be...

I have a knocking/clunking from what sounds to be the right rear wheel. Speeds of 10-20/30mph it is most notable, and it is speed dependent. Seems to be heard most loudly when I lift off the throttle and coast. Faster speeds and the sound goes away, or becomes masked. Applying the brakes...

repost, how do I delete this?

I?ve run a search, but can?t really find what I?m looking for. I?ve got a pint of seafoam and a ticking lifter. I?ve never used ?additives? before but seafoam seems pretty highly touted on this board so I thought I?d give it a whirl. Anyway, what method do you folks use for adding seafoam...

Quick info: 1997 Discovery, 104k miles. Daily driven by my wife about 2 miles a day. This weekend the disco saw 400 miles of highway travel use in two days time. At the end of the journey I pull off the highway to my exit. As I come to the stop vibration can be felt from the engine, like it...

1997 Landie Disco series I, 100k miles, mobil 1 full synthetic since I bought it at 50k miles. Okay, little help to either steer me correctly or place my mind at ease. Last night while in an icy parking lot I engaged ABS and it naturally raised a lot of racket as it modulated. Right after...

When sitting overnight and cold as can be when I start the disco at the end of her starting vRoOoOm (my stepper motor is stuck open) and as she begins to settle down I hear a quick rattle/ticking sound that lasts for about 2-3 seconds. I know sounds are difficult to diagnose by way of words...

Hello all, first off, I?ve run a search but still find myself scratching my head so I was hoping you folks could lend me some advice. I?ve never wired a truck to tow with as I have never had the need to tow with my own vehicle. But the time has arisen and so I need to wire up my 1997 DiscoI...
