    overheating....again

    I've got a 1999 DII with just over 110K miles (110,4XX) and lately, it has been nothing but a headache trying to keep it from overheating. Today I replaced the coolant pump feed line, poured the coolant and took the truck for a short test drive. Within 2 miles of driving at city speed...

    After replacing the plenum heater plate, spark plugs and wires; my truck has developed a whistling noise that is relative to acceleration/deceleration, and it?s idling just not as smooth as it was.

    upper hose just unsnapped from housing.

    yesterday after about a 10 mile drive, my DII (99 with 105K miles) overheated to the point where the red light lit up. I immediately pulled to the side and opened the hood, to my surprise, the upper hose that connects to the Thermostat housing had just detached from the housing. Visually, the...

    Head unit going crazy

    My 2000 Disco II's 88K radio is acting up. It started about a week ago, the radio stations would change by themselves, I could not turn the volume up or down or even shut the radio down. Even the mode (Tape/radio/fm-am/weather band) without me doing anything. What could be the problem be? I...

    what are the advantages of larger wheels?

    DII with 18" wheels and 255/55/18 tires (in need or replacement) what are the advantages -if any- of having the 18s over the 16 inch wheels? I would think that fuel consumption would be less with the 16 inch rather than the 18 inch, certainly more tire options, and less expensive. what...

    driver's side rear brake lamps

    I've replaced them twice with new bulbs and still do not work. First time, I used autozone lamps and they didn't work. Then I figured I needed Land Rover lamps from the dealership, bought them, installed them but still nothing. Is there a fuse or a relay specific to that circuit? All other...

    steering pump, box...or??

    Hello, I have a '99 DII with about 76K miles on the clock. Since I've owned it, it has made a 'robot-like' sound, and it is more audible at low speed. I always assumed it was 'normal rover noise'. Well yesterday as I was coming home, turning into the driveway I felt the steering wheel rather...

    gasping for air '99 DII 75K

    Lately, I?ve notice a noise which I can only describe as when a vacuum cleaner is clogged (trying to intake the same amount of air through a smaller opening); or as if a turbo has just been triggered. This occurs through all RPMs but it is more audible as the RPMs increase, to the point where...

    DII Rear Bumper

    Hello, I'm in need of a Discovery II rear bumper. Some bumm-hole hit me in the middle of the night then ran, and I don't want to get my insurance involved as my deductible is (I'm hoping) higher than the cost of a used rear bumper and lights. I'll be willing to contemplate an aftermarket bumper...
