Selling my Disco - where to advertise?
I'm surprised you haven't had any responses, I was drooling over it. If I hadn't bought my jeep, I would be trying to figure out how to ship this to Hawaii......(sigh)- cyberegg

New Problems
Sadly I've decided it's not worth it to me to rebuild the engine, especially since I don't have the time, energy and $$ to do it, and I no longer have a mechanic that I trust. I'm going to try and sell it as a Mechanics special....if that doesn't work out, I'll part it out (I'll let you know and... -

Finally had a chance to do the Compression test. I was wrong about it earlier. Results: cyl 1 140, cyl 2 130, cyl 3 115, cyl 4 0 :mad: ,cyl 5 120, cyl 6 122, cyl 7 130, cyl 8 150. Plus, when I pulled cyl 4 spark plug out, the electrode was bent back against the plug wall - I assume from the... -

Knocking from engine
I found out the hard way to verify I got the right parts from the Autoi Store. Once I was given the wrong spark plugs. I realized before I installed them, as they were way too long, and could have damaged the pistons. Double check you got the right parts. -

Well, I did everything Moose suggested..... I cleaned the oil pickup tube so well I could have sipped a boat drink thru it. No change, still clanking metallic noise, and then it dies. I did pull out some small metal fragments, size of popcorn kernel. I bought a better, screw-in type of... -

OK, got the oil pan loose... Now I'm dealing with what the Haynes manual calls "track rod". I've looked at previous postings, and saw where others have referred to loosening and swinging down the sway bar. Is the track rod same as the sway bar? What I would've thought was the sway bar the... -

No idiot lites came on before or now....And I did find the silicone seal, at walmart, they even had oil filters for LR's. How does one check a VSS? I got as far as getting all the bolts out, running a blade around the edge, giving it a couple whacks with a rubber mallet, but can't seem to... -

OK, I'll do that today. Read how to do it in my Haynes manual. What do people use for silicon sealant / gasket type of sealant to reseat the pan with? I doubt I'll be able to find the Hylosil suggested in the manual. And when you say "replace pickup tube" I'm assuming cleaning it and replacing... -

Thanks RC for getting back to me - I was already planning on replacing the O2 sensors. Here's the latest: I have gas (can smell it and hear the fuel pump working), I have spark and air. Starter is OK, too, I'm pretty sure that's the whirring sound I hear. It will start, but won't keep idling... -

Not looking good, I'm waiting for a neighbor to come over so I can do a compression check. I'm hearing a clacking noise, can't hear exactly where it's coming from, but think it's under the valve covers. They look to be a b**** to take off to see what's up underneath. Something is definitely... -

Where do i connect the idle valve to?
On mine I have something stranger.....a juryrigged something or other......a short vinyl tube with a bolt screwed into the end to seal it. I've been wondering what THAT is about, and I'm interested in replies. Thanks for posting the question. -

I think I have bigger problems now than O2 sensors. I was accelerating down the highway when it shuddered a little bit, in fact my first thought was I had a tire going flat. I took my foot off the accelerator while I ruled that out. When I pressed on the pedal again, there was no response, no... -

Another O2 sensor question
Has anyone heard the terms upstream or downstream along with oxygen sensors? My codes indicate Downstream sensors. My somewhat logical brain is wondering if I only need to replace the rear sensors. But I have no idea if my Disco is logical as well. I don't have maintenance records, so I... -

O2 Sensors
Also, what about getting O2 sensors from an auto recycler? I know generally getting electrical parts or brake parts is questionable....
