    WTB- Disco I

    That's a good looking truck. Sadly, it'd be a 4k truck by the time I flew out, drove it back, etc... I'll certainly keep it in mind. Thanks!

    WTB- Disco I

    I'm looking for a Disco I. Preferably running/driving with no major faults, but it doesn't have to be perfect. I'm looking to spend ~$2500 or less. I'd love a 5spd, but not critical. Mods, no mods.... all considered, price based on condition, etc. I'm in Northern Colorado, willing to travel a...

    Looking at a D2 with bad motor....

    I'm sure this is a total noob question, but I've been out of the Rover loop for a bit. What's the story on the 4.0-4.6 swap? There's probably a thread all about it? Thanks

    Looking at a D2 with bad motor....

    True, no CDL. I guess it boils down to whether or not I'm willing to do a full rebuild on the engine, and gamble on the condition of the rest of the mechanicals. I'm not in love with it, so I can let it go if he isn't willing to meet my price. I do like the idea of buying a truck that needs...

    Looking at a D2 with bad motor....

    I don't suppose there is any way to know if it's the heads or the block that is bad? I'm not sure if he'd go to $1000, but that would be the most I was willing to risk on it, especially with no knowledge of the condition of the trans, etc. And, I'm in Fort Collins, Colorado.

    Looking at a D2 with bad motor....

    I found a 2002 D2 today that is available to buy, but it clearly has some engine issues (even without starting it). The only comment was "cracked heads". The truck is pretty empty of coolant, and there was 2 empty coolant bottles in the back (never a good sign). I didn't start it, the battery...

    95 disco no-crank

    I have this 95 disco that was kinda given to me as a project. It has just under 90k on it, and all in all its in really nice shape. Thing is, it wont crank/start. The inertial fuel pump cutoff is not tripped (fuel pump runs with key on). The battery was completely dead when I got it, and on...

    Newbie questions

    Thanks for all the good info. I just bought a 95 Disco, 90k miles, just $1400. Needs a bunch of little things to get it on the road, but I'm really happy with the deal. Brian

    Anyone parting a Disco in Colorado?

    Hi. I bought a "project" Disco today, and I an going to need a lot of odds and ends to put it all together. I'd love to find someone in colorado (preferably in northern colorado) who was parting a truck so I could get the stuff I need with a minimum hassle. If not, anyone know of a salvage yard...

    wtf is wrong with my cooling system?

    One possible idea is a blown head gasket. I had an older Isuzu Trooper for a while that did the same kind of things- all from too much pressure in the cooling system. I finally figured out it was a head gasket that had failed between a cylinder and a water passage. The cylinder pressure would...

    WTB- Disco

    Hi. I'm in Colorado, and looking for a Disco. My perfect truck would be tastefully modded already (lift, tires, rack, lights, etc..) and well sorted mechanically. I don't mind some trail rash, but nothing too bad (unless its fixable with replaceable parts). I am looking for a trail truck, so it...

    Newbie questions

    Hi. I'm new here, and looking to buy a Disco sometime soon. My questions are..... 1. Differences between D1 and D2? When is the change? Pros/Cons of model years? 2. Any real advantages to an Auto or Manual? I think I'd prefer a 5spd, but they seem pretty hard to come by. 3. Any big differences...
