How did you check the radiator and water pump? How about the thermostat? -

98 discovery
Well, you do have a fuel filter between the pump and the fuel rail . . . and probably rust in the tank . . . that filled the filter to capacity. Drain the tank and flush. Inspect the tank. My Volvo project had sat for 19 years and required the replacement of the tank, pump, filter... -

At a Complete loss
I don't know what engine is in a Diesel Discovery but my VW Diesel powered Volvo that was extremely well maintained from new just quit at 180,183 miles. Not enough compression to go boom. If you can verify that you are getting fuel to the injectors then next is the compression test... -

At a Complete loss
You don't provide any mileage or other info on what led up to this. How many miles? Was this sudden or has it been getting harder to start over time? Any recent repairs? As above, Diesels are pretty simple machines. Compression, fuel, timing. My Volvo Diesel died a slow death until... -

ABS diagnostics and P1317 code
No TestBook. Just wandering around in the dark. So, you advice is to remove the sensors for cleaning before proceeding further? They all seem to be seated properly. -

ABS diagnostics and P1317 code
Thanks for the response! We have measured the resistance of all four sensors and found them within less than a hundred ohms of the 1,000 spec. So, for the moment, I do not believe that the sensors or sensor wiring is the problem. Where to go next is the issue. The blink code trouble list is... -

ABS diagnostics and P1317 code
I am working with a Grandson on a 1996 Discovery with both an ABS light and a CEL P1317 code. Both have been on since purchase a few months ago but it is now time to get the annual inspection which it is not going to pass. The P1317 clears but comes back after a drive. Checked resistance of... -

Well, the Discovery got better all on its own after a week's worth of driving. ABS and CEL cleared. SRS still on. -

SRS, ABS and check engine lights '96
Truck has 104k miles and the air bags have never been deployed. This vehicle had sat for a number of years and there are a number of things to fix with no real background information. Battery completely dead for some time. Also have ABS and MIL lights on. That appears to be the left ABS... -

Aggressively waiting on a solution as this was the next thing on my to-do list. Same year, same problem, same symptoms. -

LR Discovery I purchase
Yes, the rotors are a real pain . . . All back together and out for a 10 mile test run. Never driven a LRD1 before and was very impressed. Replaced: Shocks all around Rotors all around Brake pads all around Calipers on the front Both tie rod ends behind the axle . . . guess I need... -

LR Discovery I purchase
Another 70+ degree day in the Georgia mountains and nothing to do except put another few hours in on the LRD1. With the rear calipers off the rest of the disassembly and reassembly of the hubs was pretty simple. Wiped as much of the old bearing grease off/out as possible and repacked... -

LR Discovery I purchase
What else could one do on a Saturday in late December when it is 75 outside but work on cars? Got the caliper bolts out but they were a bear. Needed a cheater bar on the ratchet all the way out for all four bolts. I am going to put anti seize rather than LocTite on going back in no matter... -

LR Discovery I purchase
I have never had to remove the rear axles in any car to remove the rotors . . . . up to now. Then the caliper bolts are rusted, very rusted. What is it with British steel? It all wants to wants to return to ferric oxide from whence it came. Brit ferric oxide must have been of very poor... -

LR Discovery I purchase
I found the RAVE manual pretty quick. Most cars past a few years have such manuals available on-line for free. This is a big one, over 800 pages and half a Gig of storage. Pulled the rear brake pads yesterday and while only half worn had scored the rotors pretty bad. This truck has seen...
