A friend on this island has an ?04 D2 which, upon start up, makes a screeching noise. The harsh, turbine like sound continues for a few moments until the idle drops down and then the sound disappears. There does not appear to be a slipping belt. Any thoughts on what may be causing this noise...

?97 D1, 127,000 miles, about 1,000 since new head gaskets (not required because of failure), O2 sensor, speed sensor. Fuel l?vel at 3/4. The Discovery has always been an easy start, whether on the first turn of the key [when cold] or second [sometimes when warm]. After a rainstorm last night...

I neeed to replace the hydraulic ram on the rear step of my ?97 D1 SE7. Does anyone have a working one for sale? Thanks, Jeff

On my ?97 D1, the front LH window has worked fine until recently. When I push on the switch, I can hear the sound of the motor - not just a click, but actually working. The window is stuck up [happily] and does not move. The RH side window goes up and down normally. I?ve experienced the issue...

A dreaded Previous Owner moment unfolded when I changed the oil in my ?97 Discovery 1. As I unscrewed the drain plug a helicoil came out with the plug. I have a new oil pan with drain plug, gasket and copper washer. I want to know if I can just drain the oil, unbolt the old pan and install in a...

This is a recent problem with my 4>0 ?97 D1 w/123,000 miles. The car starts fine when the engine is cold. The car warms up quickly and runs, idles and accelerates without an issue. The D1 never stalls and the rpm look steady at the tach. However, lately [and sporadically] when I?ve driven the...

Discovery :: 1997 Land Rover SE 7 (2017-06-20 02:53:51)

When I bought my '97 Discovery 1 in April I joined this forum and saw many threads about starter problems. I've read through most of them and will add my recent experiences. On my 900 mile trip back to Maine with the sitting-for-6-months and new-to-me Discovery, I had only one issue. I had...

I'm looking for the best code reader for my '97 Discovery I. I've been warned that the generic ones, even Snap-On, don't work well for Land Rovers. Sure enough, my local mechanic's readers won't connect with my Discovery. Does anyone have a recommendation for a [relatively] affordable code...

I have a continuing problem with the brake lights and directionals on my '97 Discovery 1. I purchased the Discovery a couple of weeks ago with working brake lights and directionals. I drove it 900 miles home without incident. Upon undergoing a state inspection here in Maine, I was told that...

Hi Everyone, On my new-to-me '97 D1, the cruise control does not work - nor did it work for the previous P.O. The CC fuse looks fine and the light goes on at the CC switch. The tube is connected at the brake switch. Sorry but I could not search for this first... Next steps? Thanks, Jeff
