My 98 Disco's (211k) brakes perform and feel like manual brakes.:banghead: I took the servo check valve out and it tested fine (air in 1 direction only, towards servo). With the air line disconnected, the brakes were actually worse (even more foot pressure needed to provide even worse/minimal...

What's the bottom line? Can it be done for a few grand? 1984 defender (imported RHD, prob. grey market) with 2.25 and 5 speed. The price is right, but I would prefer a diesel.

I have done a bit of research, and the following is the purported method: Trans: Park T/case: Nuetral Ignition switch: Position 2 I will be drilling my ARB bumper on the '98 D1 for the A-bar attachments, and pulling it on all four behind my 96 D1, or a moving truck. Heading to CO from PA...

Hello All, Just put on an ARB front bumper and so have a willow green air dam, two end caps, and the fog lights for a D1. I am not looking to make a bunch of money on them, just dont want to move them when I move, or toss them. Located in Central PA. Email at k12lasater at gmail dot com...

Hello All, I'm sure we have a few adjusters as Dweb members. One of my D1s got dinged up this am, and will need a few new pieces up front, including a bumper. RTE and ARB bumpers are less than the cost of the stock replacement. Can I ask the body shop doing the repair to go with the less...

Hello All: I have two D1s and love them, but like for many I suppose, the lure of a 110 or 109 is strong. If there are any 109/110 owners that are looking for more creature comforts, maybe we can work out a trade. For my part I have a 96 SD D1 with 84,000 on the clock, and an appropriate...

I saw this posting on Autotrader.com. I dont know too much about defenders, but it seems a little off...

Hello All, Glad to be here. I just picked up a 96 D1 SD with 82k miles. When I test drove it, and when I drove it 150 miles home, it ran fine, with the exception of some very slight hickups at speeds around 50-75 mph, which I associated with a VSS. I got her home, washed the 4 years of dirt...

I just picked up another D1, a 96 SD. Its white, which is my favorite, but there is no tint to any window, not even the rear three. My 98 has a nice tint to the rear three. Has anyone had any luck with aftermarket tint? I hate the stuff that looks blue or purple, or when it bubbles and...

Titles says it all. In Central Pa. email me at k12lasater@gmail.com Thanks

1998 auto D1 w/ 185k 2nd owner (bought with 160k 1.5 yrs ago) Replaced: brake switch cooling system (minus rad) u joints in rear D-shaft VSS resoldered window and sunroof ECU added rear jump seat tires wheel bearings Hoping to hear some great stories about high mileage discos! Kieran

I am prepping my 98 disco 1 for a 5k plus mile road trip to commence tomorrow! Last minute cooling issues required some additional work. In the process, I broke a blade off of the cooling fan. It now has a vibration, most notable at low rpms. When looking from above, the pulley seems to have...

Hello All, Planning for a cross country road trip to four corners area for this summer. I will be doing some light to moderate wheeling out there. I am doing the following prior to the trip to the 98 disco (172k) either because they are acting up, or for preventative maint: -tires -brake pads...

http://www.high-tec-retreading.com/sizes.html The D Mud, or the D-Mud with spacer? The one with spacer looks like it will be a little more quite and provide better snow grip.

Can you get access to the cdl shift mechanism on a 98 disco 1 to free up and grease without pulling the whole center console? Thanks, Kieran

I really could use a cross section of the rear axle hub on a d1. I was going to take Sir Gallahan to the stealership, but I think I can change the bearings myself if I have a good pic/blowup. Thanks and Happy New Year. Kieran

I have a loud squeeking noise coming from the undercarriage. It is most pronounced between 1-30 miles per hour, when it normally stops. It seems to get worse with cornering. It is intermittent, and sometimes doesnt happen at all, but usually does. Hitting the breaks doesnt affect the noise...

The last time I drove the disco it was fine. No lights on, etc. I parked it at 6:30 pm, locked with the keyless. My wife went to open the disco the next morning, absolutely dead, no juice at all, not even enough to turn on the radio, lights, interior lights. I went to jump it, and no luck, it...

My rear windows have stopped working with either the front switches or the rear ones. I have heard there is a window control module that controls the windows. Can someone tell me where it is, and if it is likely to be the problem. P.S., front ones work fine. stock 98 disco w/ 169k thanks...
