Different oil level readings with hood open
you're right. i didn't need to do it. i just did it to see if there was a difference in readings based on methods. per my previous post, i did the oil level reading per the owner's manual. then i turned the LR4 off, then back to the on mode (Start button pushed, no brake pedal... -
Different oil level readings with hood open
2011 LR4 5.0 Rover sat on level ground for at least half an hour after driving. went out and checked the oil per the manual. read exactly at the halfway mark. then checked it via the bypass method. showed 0.5 quart low. i have not yet had the opportunity to run the test again. -
96 Disco Problems (w/fault codes)
www.troublecodes.net/landrvr/ here's a link. all the codes you listed are misfire codes. definitely change out the plugs and wires. -
96 Disco Problems (w/fault codes)
your mechanic's advise is a good place to start. try some kingsborne 8mm wires and the cheap champion plugs. i wouldn't use the OE 7mm wires. when i went with those my fuel mileage actually dropped. i couldn't find the link i used to have to the obd2 codes or else i would have... -

SES No Power, Fuel Filter and Door locks
Mike is right. Get the codes read. The flashing SES I can often mean misfires. This may be something as simple as new plugs and wires. I think most local autoparts stores will read the codes for free. Write down what codes come up and then get back to the forum. -

ultragauge
mostly just use it to read and reset codes. the ultragauge does this. it also does some real time read out on engine temp and what not. it's a fairly inexpensive scanner. i was just wondering if anyone had any feed back on how it worked. i'm planning on getting another car soon and this... -

Changing Fluids
While Mike's list is daunting it is also comprehensive. Tackle the easy, cheap stuff first. The diff's and the transmission are both easy if not a little messy. For the diff's spend the extra 10 or 15 dollars and get the hand pump for putting the fluid back in. A lot easier and a lot less... -
Things I learned changing the diff oil
this is very easy to do but i made it harder than i needed to by not having a hand pump and a gallon jug of gear oil. this would have made refilling the diff's a lot faster, easier, and less messy. the front diff oil was definitely dirtier than the rear. it was greenish black while the... -
Emmissions Test Failed
I had the same code about a month ago. I bought a can of CRC MAF cleaner and sprayed the crap out of the Mass Airflow sensor. This cleared the code in less than a day and it hasn't come back. My rover is a 96 D1. I don't think this works on the 1999 and later D2s. If you have a D1 try... -
Mold in the Radiator?
I would second greg on the dexcool in a DII only. the green stuff is what we need in our DI's. I would be curious as to what reason the dealer gives for the dexcool in your DI. -
p1179 on a 96 disco
little update. i did not reset the CEL. called my wife today and she said it was no longer on. so, it looks like the CRC cleaning of the MAFS worked. for a while at least. i'll let you all know if the code comes back. -
p1179 on a 96 disco
I have done a lot of research on this code. I have pulled the MAFS and cleaned it w/ CRC electronic cleaner. Now I'm waiting to see if the code will clear itself. My question is, is it safe to drive the truck with this code since I am not getting any others? I am not having any... -

leak at oil pressure switch
I have already tightened it once about six or seven months ago. that took care of the leak for a while. now it's back. i looked in the rave and can't tell from it whether or not the oil pressure switch has a gasket. i want to fix this leak if possible. is there a washer or gasket of some... -

popping sound when I turn left
joey, about 165,000 miles on the truck. haven't checked the grease in the swivel pin. what am I looking for with that? mike, i'm fairly mechanical but i've never worked on the axles before at all. and all the little parts scare me. if there is a small circlip, washer, spacer, etc. to... -
popping sound when I turn left
Guys, I've been hearing a popping noise when I turn left but only when turned all the way. I am running tires slightly wider than stock, so, it could be that. I hope. I'm concerned it might be some part of the front suspension. Thanks,
