    Newer Head lamp Assembly

    I say just buy a new car if you really want to drive a newer looking car. I've seen some pictures of the headlight mod and it looks kind of cheesy in a way, even though it's cool I guess.

    Rear side window won't roll up!!

    The rear side window on my 1997 Disco is totally messed up. Suddenly it just makes a churning noise when you press the up button and you can slide the glass up by hand but it slides back down on it's own! I want to try taking the door apart. I'm hoping it's a simple fix. Any advice??

    Side mirror replacement glass

    Anyone know of a good place to buy the mirror glass for the side mirror on a discovery 1? Rovers North is the only place I can think of, but I could find it on their site. The motor works fine, it's just the stupid mail truck broke the glass out of the mirror. :mad:

    97 Discovery 4.0 oil change question

    Okay thanks Joey, that's what I had planned but I wasn't sure if that was a great idea or not. I'll do that right now.

    97 Discovery 4.0 oil change question

    Okay thanks for the help. I think I put in about a half quart too much then. I assume that's not good.

    97 Discovery 4.0 oil change question

    How much new oil should you put in a '97 Disco when changing the oil and filter? I thought it was about 7 quarts, but nothing was showing up on the dipstick, so I added another half quart and now it's looking like it went over the full line on the dipstick. It's hard to tell how much is in...

    Supercharged Range engine

    Yea, I was thinking that would have to go too. Do you think you could put a range rover drivetrain in or do something custom like that?

    Supercharged Range engine

    You think there is a way to install the supercharged Range Rover Sport engine into a 97 Discovery? That'd be pretty sweet.

    Synthetic oil

    I just checked my oil and it was dark brown... time for a change for sure. I bought some gtx and a filter and I'm going to replace it today before I go on a trip this weekend. I'm going to start changing the oil a little more frequently... but I don't drive much either.

    Discount OEM Parts / Rear Door Hinges ?

    I wanna get some of those lamborghini door hinges for my Rover lol... where the doors flip up. It'd look crazy but it'd be too expensive.

    Regular maintenance... what have I forgotten?

    What are some commonly overlooked maintenance things for the Disco 1. I'm approaching 100k miles and I've done a lot of the basics; oil changes, transmission fluid, coolant, shocks, spark plugs... Is there any super important maintenance thing I might have forgotten or not known about for a Rover?

    brake light bulb

    It's easier to take the whole tail light out first... I couldn't loosen the bulb without doing that.

    wheels from Range to Disco

    I've seen them for $500 but I found this place from google that made land rover adapters and they were only $150! Not bad, but the real pain is the rims and tires... A good set of 20's or 22's can run $3000 or more.
