    tips or tricks replacing power steering line (box to pump)

    Got a leak in the power steering line that goes from the pump to the steering box...which goes under the front of the car. How much of a PITA is this to replace. Looks like the ace and ac have to come out.. does the radiator and/or condensor need to be moved/removed? 2000 D2 ace/sls

    After a drive in my 00D2...parked it.. a few minutes later.. I heard this ping noise followed by some rattling and then a thud as the bolt head hit the ground! An exhaust manifold bolt head decided to decapitate itself! Assuming the manifold is OK (I have no reason to believe it is...

    SLS / air bag suspension question

    I noticed the other day the pass side rear of the truck was down all the way. I started the car and it reinflated and stayed inflated for a few days...then it was flat again (same side) Would this be an indication of a bad air bag..or something else (leak in a line, etc) Just looking to see...

    Tranmission noise - DII

    Few weeks ago the transmission started making a noise - chirping/squeeking. It is similar to this thread http://www.discoweb.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26558 but mine is a D2. Not sure if it makes a difference. The noise is ONLY when the car is in gear. If I am driving..i hear the noise...

    transfer case - can't shift into low 00DII

    Having trouble shifting into low gear on our 00 DII. I did a search here, and said the solenoild may be bad, or connections or something (all seemed to require surgery to get to). Apparently the xfer case does not know when the truck is in 'N' I guess. Is there any somewhat easy workaround...

    Coolant leak - can't find source of leak

    Just saw a good size puddle of coolant under the rover today. I couldn't see where the leak was coming from. Jacked it up (with stands) and got under and the water pump was not leaking, at least at the weep hole. I just changed all the hoses on the truck. It is not leaking at the hoses as far...

    Transmission (?) died - sounds like rocks rolling around (and wont move)

    Got a fairly serious failure, on the (so far) relatively trouble free 00 DII. When you start the motor, it sounds like rocks rolling around in a dryer under the truck, the truck barely will move forward or reverse... My guess would be the transmission...any other educated guesses? If it is...
