    D1 Brake light electrical issue - 5-speed conversion

    Ok, so I have a D1 300TDI that was converted to a 5 speed not long ago. I noticed recently that the brake lights were always on. I pulled the brake light switch and they all turn off. Fortunately I have a D1 V8 Auto and tested that switch to see if it was just the switch. When testing on the V8...

    1996 D1 - Wow - Not mine

    I found this when browsing eBay. I'd be curious to see how it looks on the underside, but wow. Looks almost like it just rolled out of the plant...

    D1 Manual Transmission Conversion - Warm air center console

    Ok, so I just recently completed the conversion of my 300TDI D1 to the R380 from the ZF auto box. I know I'm missing some parts between the center console and the open air under the truck. What is happening is actually a bit interesting. When I open any of the windows, I can feel warm air coming...

    Tire (Tyre) recommendation

    I bought the truck with 265/75r16 BFG Mud Terrain tires and although they are great tires for what they are, I would like to get a set that I use for "everyday" use and then throw those on when I have something planned. This truck is my daily driver. I have an extra set of 16" wheels so I would...

    D1 horn doesn't work except...

    It does work when the alarm is triggered. So I assume that its the same horn as the one that is actuated when depressing the center of the steering wheel. When looking at the Rave guide, it looks like the only thing between the horn switches on the steering wheel and the activation by the theft...

    300TDI rear main seal leak?

    So...I just finished replacing the crank on my 300TDI and also swapping the auto for a 5-speed (R380). https://discoweb.org/showthread.php?t=96637 After driving it around I noticed that oil seems to be leaking right out of the wading plug hole at the bottom of the bell housing. It seems likely...

    Broken crank with a conversion to manual transmission

    Started yesterday on pulling the engine (300tdi). It's almost ready to be pulled. Today the goal is to get the auto transmission and transfer case out. The main pulley and crank have a chunk broken out of them. So the engine comes out and we'll be replacing the crank. Also the plan is to put the...

    Key fob reprogramming 94 D1

    94 D1 The drivers side lock is jacked up and want to get to it eventually, but it had me thinking if I could buy a used key fob to remotely lock/unlock the car. I see them available online, but it is something that the dealership would have to link to the truck or is it something that can be...

    Aux fans always running and draining battery

    94 D1 Fans run from initial start and continue to run after shutting the car off until the battery is drained. If battery is disconnected, the fans will shut off and won't come back on when battery reconnected. But again does it again when starting the car up. I'm thinking it might be the fan...

    D1 - rear windows weren't working - not solder joint issue

    It might be well known but in case it isn't, you have to have the rear door window switches plugged in for even the front window switches to work. Previous owner had them unplugged for some reason so of course I checked the ECU and no issue there. Then took the door cards out to find the...

    Window Regulator - Christmas gift?

    Driver's window was rolling down off track since I bought it and just got around to looking at it. I figured it needed an entirely new regulator, so my girlfriend (yes, that's right) went to pick and pull to surprise me with a window regulator as a gift! She couldn't keep it a secret so I dug...

    Removing D1 rear view mirror

    Sorry for the newbie question, but I'm out to replace this rear view mirror as it has the common issue. Is there some sort of retaining clip I need to get to so I can pull this off? I also read that a D2 mirror will also work. Anybody that can validate that? Thanks in advance!

    Used lift - good deal?

    Found old man emu 2" hd springs, shocks and terrafirma radius arms for my disco 1 for $200. Seller is local and says he only had them on for a few years and bought a higher lift due to rubbing with his 265/75r16 tires. Thoughts?

    D1 Oil Pressure Light on idle and heavy leaking

    **NOT FIXED - See my comment below** I just picked up a 1998 D1 ($850) today and drove it about 140 miles without much issue. The first sign of an issue was when we slowed for an accident on the freeway and the oil pressure light came on. I pulled off at the next exit and topped the oil off...

    D1 Tailgate speaker connection - feeling stupid

    So I'm attempting to replace the speakers on the tailgate and I'm trying to disconnect the speaker harness and I'm failing. I've attempted to shove something into that open hole and pry outwards, but that doesn't seem to work. Thoughts? Thanks in advance, Greg Photo...

    D1: Rear rotor replacement

    First thread and I did a search and couldn't find anything specific to my issue. I finished the front rotors and now I'm onto the rear. The problem is that I'm unable to get the abs ring off the rotor. I've unscrewed the nuts, but it is probably rusted on there pretty tight. For the front...
