    Another stuck window

    96, D1, pass. front window. It's always made a weird clunking sound. Today, I pulled the panel and had a look. As you may know, there's a track at the bottom with two wheeled "arms" in the track that raise and lower the entire contraption. Well, one of the arms had spit out its "wheel" and the...

    Another Sea Foam thread ...

    1/3 in gas tank, 1/3 in crank case, 1/3 in intake = nada. No smoke. None. At idle, at revs, nothing. I feel a little let down as I was expecting a big show ;) d

    Wandering issues, toe-in, etc.

    All: Have an ongoing wandering issue with my truck that I'm trying to track down. The symptoms: vague steering, wandering, less-than-positive steering "feel" and input. All these symptoms are most evident at speed; i.e., the faster you go, the more pronounced them are. Rig: 96 D1, 2-inch OME...

    AZ: Nicely modded 96 Discovery SE-7

    Hi all: I traded a motorcycle for this truck several months back and did quite a bit of work on it. Now I'm interested in selling it. The reason? Frankly -- and no offense meant -- the LR just isn't my cup of tea. The truck works very well, I just honestly don't care for it. My g/f -- who's been...

    D1 "vague" steering

    Hi, all. Subject: 96 D1, I recently got in trade. Seems like an overall OK rig. I've done some minor maintenance since getting it: New brakes and wheel bearings all around, OME medium-duty springs, OME shocks and damper, 235/85 BFG MTs, etc. The truck has a very vague steering feel. I don't...

    crunch, crunch

    Since I got my disco, it's had a peculiar crunching, occasional groaning noise from the front passenger hub. Since I'm wrapping up my lift install, I decided to go ahead and dig in to see if I could find the problem. What I'd hoped to find were bad hub bearings. Alas, when I pulled the hub...

    AZ: D1 stock front/rear bumpers

    Need stock D1 front and rear bumpers to replace my mangled pieces. Don't care for the appearance/weight of most aftermarket pieces I've seen. Prefer to be very cheap/free and in the Phoenix area as it's not worth the shipping costs. I'm in North Scottsdale and will pick up. Long shot, but I...

    Removing side molding?

    1996 Disco. Anyone ever removed the body side molding? What's under there? I'm interested in removing as it's kinda dinged up and I think the rig will look cleaner without it. d
