    Disco 1 Coolent Overflow

    Thanks for the help. I have one of the old black tanks which seems to be prone to leaking, according to past posts. Looks like an easy fix, 3 small bolts and two hose clamps. The only hard part is ordering the tank. Joking

    Disco 1 Coolent Overflow

    Coolent was leaking from the seam of the bottle. I topped off my coolent just before driving. It appears that I must of added a little too much coolent, maybe 1 cup too much. I drove until my truck got nice and warm and then parked it in my driveway. That is when I noticed the coolent...

    Is it worth trying to fix?

    I will check on that. The main problem is that voltage and amprage readings are all out of wack at the front fuse box. It sounded like (I will be going to the shop in about an hour) certian areas of the fuse box are showing positive when they should be negitive, certian curcits are not...

    Is it worth trying to fix?

    I have a 2001 Disco 2 with 170,000 miles on it. Last month the engine just cut off while I was making a turn. I had it towed back to the house and it started right up. I took it to AAMCO and they found nothing. The engine cut out again while I driving home from the AAMCO. I then had it...

    Vibrations trouble going in reverse.

    I think the $3000 and above for the Aamco is if I need to have a new transmission. If they can rebuild the price will be lower. They could not give me a exact price until the transmission is taken apart.
