    Limp home

    Good information guys. My truck has never stalled, it simply acts like a clamp around the fuel line, no throttle. After sitting a while, all is well. One of the craziest things my Disco had done. Over three years it has done it three times. Unless it is stupid expensive, I will change the...

    Limp home

    Good Afternoon! I have a 1998 D1 with 162000 miles. I have had it for about three years and have been working on making it more dependable. I have one issue that has reared its ugly head on three occasions. While driving down the road, usually to work, I end up with a dead pedal where...

    Fuel pump

    Monday evening I was starting to check my inoperative left rear window when I turned on the ignition switch and the fuel pump sounded like my dish washer draining. The tank is almost full so I don't think it was sucking air. Could a return line be bubbling or something like that or is the pump...

    D1 Brakes binding

    I found (locally) a TRW/Lucas master cylinder for a good price and bought it. It stopped the vehicle well but would leak down. So I requested and received a warranty replacement for the first cylinder and installed it. When being bench bled it seemed weak on the rear outlet but I put it on...

    Electric fans, 98 Disco

    Best, Thanks for the quick reply! From what I can see, it looks like I will have to remove the fans to get to the plugs. Can I manually switch them from a sender? If the fans are switched on the ground side, it seems likely to be able to cut them on at a sender. Perhaps it is a bad sensor...

    Electric fans, 98 Disco

    D1 Brakes binding

    The original to my ownership master cylinder is a TRW/Lucas, and I have just replaced it with another TRW/Lucas. I am pretty sure the M/C is bypassing now because there is no fluid loss anywhere but the pedal slowly goes down. I have ordered a replacement. I believe the original problem...

    D1 Brakes binding

    Thanks for the replies. PDX, it is definitely the main hydraulic brake system. Fish, it pulls up evenly like all brakes are being applied. The M/C I replaced was a Lucas, I have since replaced it with a new TRW/Lucas. It seems to work ok except it seems to have an internal bypass!! Step on...

    D1 Brakes binding

    Hi folks, this is my first posting here. I have a 1998 D1 and two series trucks. I have had series trucks since 1977 and know them pretty well, but I am still trying to figure out the D1. I have had a weird problem twice now. Without any warning the brakes will slowly apply themselves to the...
