    stalling on restart, only when really hot

    This started happening a few months ago when warm weather returned. 96 DI starts, runs, and idles fine in all conditions. EXCEPT when I restart it after it is really hot. Like driving for 30mins or more in hot weather with the AC on. In that case it will stall when I restart it. If I give...

    best current options for radiator, water pump, and fan clutch

    I've been reading through the old posts on these topics and wanted to get some current opinions. I'm about to replace the radiator, water pump, and fan clutch on my 96 DI and would like opinions on what are currently the best choices. I see a number of rads listed on the typical Rover parts...

    grease vs oil for Longfield CVs

    Another twist on the grease vs oil debate... My Longtracks setup just arrived today and I was a bit surprised to see the CVs packed with what appears to be EP grease, the red sticky stuff. Same stuff I use on my wheel bearings and ujoints. I was expecting to see either CV grease or a...

    tips for trans mount removal

    I replaced the motor mounts on my 96 DI a while back and they were pretty easy. I have new trans mounts as well but I gave up on them - the threads are rusted real good and there is very limited access for a wrench. Any tips on removing these? I considered removing the mounting brackets from...

    GEMS PROM question

    Chris posted the TSB for updating the GEMS prom here: http://discoweb.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14753 Does anyone know how to identify the updated PROM? Is the label on the updated PROM different that the original? I'm looking at one and there is no part number on it to match up with the...

    anyone work with Isuzu Rodeo diffs?

    My friend has a 98 Rodeo, dealer says a tooth broke off the ring gear and wants $2300 to replace it. Sounds like a typically insane dealer quote to me. Unless the Isuzu stuff is really wierd I cannot see it costing more than a few hundred for a ring/pinion, some bearings/seals/gaskets, and...

    do DI and DII 2nd row seats interchange?

    Anyone know if DII 2nd row seats (not jump seats) will bolt into a DI? I know the DII is longer, just hoping that the changes might be isolated to the cargo area and the 2nd row mounts are the same as the DI.

    securing RTE slider step inside the Disco

    I have the RTE sliders with extensions and the matching step that slides in and gives you a good platform to stand on and acess stuff on the roof. But the step sat in my garage until recently because I did not like the idea of a big hunk of steel sitting loosely in the cab. Pic below is what I...

    M16x1.5 wheel studs

    Anyone have an inexpensive source for these? I'm working on a spacer project and want some 60mm long studs that will work with the stock lugs. Google is not turning up any sources. LR part FRC5926 is a bit shorter than I need. Plus the prices I've seen in the US are pretty high, a few bucks...

    96 Disco keyless remote case

    This is the plastic case and the rubber button pads for a 96 Disco keyless remote. I bought this new a few months ago hoping to fix my remote. But the switches inside were too far gone and I have decided to just get an aftermarket system. If your remote still works well but the case and/or...

    humorous spring comparison

    Took this pic last year when installing my lift and came across it again today. Thought some of you would get a laugh out of it. Big one is an RTE 3" lift spring for the Disco. Small one is an Eibach 500lb/in spring for my car. Pretty big difference huh? Needless to say the car sits a bit...

    the elusive alarm spider

    96 Disco I... So I have my dash apart wiring in some new switches and I figured I would check the alarm spider while I was in there. Trouble is I cannot find it. I'm talking about the part referenced in this thread . I see it pictured in the ETM on the RAVE CD but in my truck there is no box...
