Major overheating problems.
OK- Should I try this Joey!! The shop says they have never heard of this solution before. I am not going to create some kind of bomb with this stuff a **** myself, am I? -

Major overheating problems.
I think this might be my problem... getting the rover towed in today. Can any one add to what these symptoms might mean? (I am a little nervous about the answer) Over heating (I don't let it run hot- it just starts to overheat) Coolant flushing out (all over the place) Chocolate oil... -

Serpentine Belt Replacement
Those that know, (that means you, Joey! :biggrin:) I have a '97 Disco 4.0 in need of a new serpentine belt. After being quoted $250 with labor, I think I will give it a shot myself. I did a search function on this forum, and found plenty of replies say that it is easy, but I wondered if... -

Wont stay running when low on gas
Just to clarify- I am not running OUT of gas! So when I let my '97 Disco get real low on gas (the light comes on), and then I park my car on our inclined drive way (the hood is facing downhill) my car has a tough time idling- and will sometimes conk out. I don't know if the pump is in the... -

winshield queston
Gerbils, they can sneak in almost anywhere and crack the hell out of your windshield. At least that is what I would say if I was a 10 year old. You got any little kids that could have been in the garage? -

abs fuse?
Did you pull the right fuse? It would seem so if the ABS light is always on, and it used to not be, but that could be coincidence. I would check that you pulled the ABS fuse, because if you are getting the loud clink-clank and bad braking from a faulty ABS, but the fuse is pulled then your... -

Refreshing the Brush Bar
this weekend I would like to "refresh" my brush bar. I live in a big city, and the thing has about 100 scuffs on it, many of them white which makes my black powder coated bar look a little crappy. I know that dents and dings are good on a Rover, but I would like to seel up these places... -

Leaky Mess!!
I assume the "snake oil" comment from healey was directed at my post- some might have doubts about the effectiveness of stop-leak, and I know the stuff is only supposed to stop leaks with cracked tubing, but it worked. And since the bottle of stop leak PS fluid is about 60 cents more then the... -

Leaky Mess!!
Yeah- if you don't have a problem with the environmental impact, just keep filling it up every so often and go about your business. I was told that my pump had a leak, but I actually bought some stop leak PS fluid and now it either doesn't leak, or leaks very very slow. -

Leaky Mess!!
The PS shouldn't be hard- just check your reservoir and see if it is low. Also, it will probably be starting to squeal when you turn the wheels if it has already lost that much fluid just in your driveway. -

What I can't get over is that the fool took his kid and wife with him while doing that... idiot. -

Disco Crash
Sorry to link to another forum, but a RRS forum has a frame by frame of a disco going over a sand dune and flipping! Pretty crazy stuff if you are interested... http://rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14906 -

Rear door speaker grill replacement
I had mine replaced on my D1 a few years back. After trying to track down one from LR, I gave up and I just walked into a "metal speciality" shop. After chatting it up with the guys for a couple of minutes I told them my problem. They walked out to my car and looked at the pattern, and then... -

Premium fuel?
I was told that a major reason to use premium was because the lower octane fuels will build up more "junk", I assume carbon deposits, on the cylinder heads and because of the small level of clearance b/w the block and pistons, you will eventually have to have the engine pulled, and the cylinder...
