    1997 Land Rover Discovery SE

    Will, it is a difficult decision and if things don't work out selling it I will surely keep it. However, in PA, I am forced to keep liability insurance on every car. And, I cannot keep cheap liablity on one car and expensive liablity on another -- all cars must have the same. So, it is...

    Transmission Whine

    I have a 97 D1 A/T with 200K+ miles. Recently it seems that when the vehicle attempts an upshift (I think mostly from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3) on occasion I hear a quick whining sound -- almost sounds like a rev-limiter type sound. I am assuming it is from the transmission but it is hard to localize...

    Fluctuation Coolant Temp. Gauge

    97 D1, 208K+ miles... OK, so where do I begin...I guess the best way is to let everyone know that coolant-related issues have been dogging me for, well, probably the last 50-60K miles. Radiators, Manifold gaskets, head gaskets, sensors, clutch fans, electric fans, heater cores, you name...

    Intermittent Coolant Leak

    Wouldn't I also see residue on the exhaust/cats if it was dripping from the heater core in/out lines? The funny thing is that I believe I have had the intake manifold gasket replaced not too long ago. Perhaps it does need to be tightened down after the head gasket job was recently performed...

    Intermittent Coolant Leak

    I have a 97 D1 with 200K+ miles. Recently I developed an intermittent coolant leak. For the past 60K miles, the car has been dogged with coolant related issues. Just about all parts of the coolant system have been replaced/repaired. I took it to the dealer for evaluation figuring that I had...

    D1 Headlamp Connector

    I did the short-term fix by cleaning the contacts, pinching the metal spades (contacts) closer, etc. The plastic on the black-wire lead (on both connectors) is melted and therefore does not provide adequate support for the spade. I have been unable to locate a new 9003 socket. A junk-yard...

    D1 Headlamp Connector

    Keith, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, Idon't have an O'Reilly's where I live. I saw a similar part at a Pep Boys, but it had very small wires as you mentioned. BTW, what is shrink-tubing?

    D1 Headlamp Connector

    My headlamp connectors (both) seemed to be corroded and melting. Does anyone know where I can get thes connectors as a replacement. I spoke to the dealer. LR does not carry this part. They want you to change out the entire wiring harness for what should be a 20-30 min job. Any advice also...

    D1 Remote Door Lock and Lights Question

    New battery works. As for re-syncing it, I really did not make any conscious effort. I think I pushed each of the buttons one or two times and then it started working. I couldn't tell if the pusing these buttons did anything because I may have been out of range initially. 8+ years on a...

    D1 Remote Door Lock and Lights Question

    I have a 97 D1 with many miles (200K+). I recently noticed that when I unlock my doors using the remote, the exterior lights no longer illuminate for a brief period of time. The interior lights, do however, come on. After the doors are unlocked, if I press the unlock button again, the...

    D1 Overheating Issues -- guru knowledge required

    OK. So I replaced the broken condenser fan and now I have an even more insidious problem. The temp. gauge seems flaky. With A/C and driving on the highway, the temp goes up. Turn off the A/C and the temp comes down immediately. Turn on the fan (blower) with no A/C and temp goes up. Turn...

    D1 Overheating Issues -- guru knowledge required

    Everyone, thanks for the inputs. PTshram, I do not believe (or want to believe) it is the radiator. The problem only occurs in hot weather with the A/C on. If I had a radiator problem, it would show signs more frequently with the A/C off. I tested the radiator's cooling ability the other...

    D1 Overheating Issues -- guru knowledge required

    Is it possible to fix the fan (new brushes, etc.) or does fixing it mean replacing it. I assume that the airflow should be front to back of vehicle so that the airflow does not interfere with forced air against the radiator when driving.
