Three amigos on and off
Thanks Joey. Oh, BTW, the PB blaster stuff on the o2 sensors worked. Thanks. I saw the shuttle valve kit at the link and read a little bit about it. Ever seen one done? Anyone? Advisable for home mech to do it? Will need to bleed the system completly after, right? -
Three amigos on and off
Hello all. I had the notorious three lights come on about a year ago and they just stayed on steady. Never went away. Then, about a month ago, I took it to the local LR shop and told them to take a look at it with the SLABS machine. They cleared the codes and told me to come back when the... -
Rough idle,stuble start
The shop cleared the codes (at my suggestion) so the computer would get fresh codes (I had just replaced the MAF). It came back on the next day. I’m taking it tomorrow to get the codes read. BUT, should I try soaking that thing for a few days with penetrator before I dump at least 350 for the... -
Rough idle,stuble start
Hello all! I need some advice. Im am looking at a potentially very expensive repair and want to make sure that it will address the problem. I have a rough idle and it almost dies when I start it when its warm. Supposedly the O2 sensor is gone; my tech tried to "clean it" without removing it... -
OEM brakes
Does anyone know who the supplier is of genuine brake pads and rotors is for the systems on an 01 disco II? I have the three lights and everyone I talk to says I gotta use genuine pads (I got aftermarket on there now and they squeek like hell). Thanks. -
ABS fault codes
Hello All! Haven't posted for awhile, good to be back! 01 Disco II, 60k, Black. All 3 ABS lights on (TC, ABS, HDC). These are the "slabs" codes I have from a LR tech: 04.7: Right rear sensor output too low 08.4: Front Right sensor signal erratic 08.7: Rear right sensor signal erratic... -
OEM Brakes
Quick question: who makes the OEM pads for DiscoII's? I have an 01, want to buy OEM's from rovers north or atlantic british or british pacific. -
Plug wires replacement
Has anyone ever replaced the plug wires on a series II (4.0 V8 Bosch engine) disco without taking off the intake manifold? Ive herd people say it can be done, but never that anyone has actually done it. Having said that, anyone know any places in SoCal that will do the job well at a resonable... -
Faulty plugs/OBDII code
SWEET! Ok, got to read the codes. Sure enough, #4 cylinder misfire. The same wire that had the corrosion in it. Guess thats as simple an explanation as Im gonna get! -
Faulty plugs/OBDII code
DAMN! Got a chance to drive it today, started fine, good idle, started out smooth while driving. Got about halfway to my destination (about 5 miles) and felt some hesitation. Then the stupid check service engine soon light came on. Same thing happened before, but the light went away and the... -
Faulty plugs/OBDII code
Yea, what is the deal with the plugs?The ones listed in the manual aren't available anymore (at least not with that part #).And people are telling me that they are double platinum from the factory. They didnt have the champion plats at Kragen, so I ended up with bosch plats. Actually changed... -
Roof Rack for Disco II
Well those aren't very simmilar to Safety Devices, but check out the ones here: http://northwestparts.com/ . Much cheaper than SD, looks just like them. -
Faulty plugs/OBDII code
If I had one or more fouling plugs, wouldn't the computer send out a code indicating a misfire for a particular cylinder?I have rought idle and now the engine is missing when its in a high gear and under little load. 01 disco2. -

Rough idle/stumble
couldn't really say, I got it used only about 6 months ago. Looks like the previous owner kept it up though. OEM oil filter, service campaign decals (would be curious to know what those were for and if anything else is available), and all fluids were clean (changed ALL fluids when i got it)...
