    Coolant smell under the hood

    From previous post: I sold the Disco today (6,16,2009). The coolant leak seems to be fixed by the Bars liquid copper. I have not smelled the coolant smell at all after the treatment. Either way, the new owner is very happy with the truck.

    What do these dash lights mean?

    I don't have another, and not planning to get one. I sort of inherited the 99, and it was fun while it lasted.

    The truck has been sold! I sold the Disco today (6,16,2009). The new owner is not concerned about the lights, so he will have to deal with them if he chooses.

    What do these dash lights mean?

    At 2800 bucks, the labor would still need to paid for ($800), and that would make it more than the $3,200 that was paid. The PO got quotes above 4 GRAND, so he jumped at the price AAMCO charged.

    What do these dash lights mean?

    Would that mean that the entire modulator would need replacing at substantial cost by someone other than a DIYer?

    What do these dash lights mean?

    Thank you for your willingness to share the info on Rover repairing. Most folks would not even think of repairing even the easiest thing on one of these vehicles, but would just take it to the dealer and get taken. I realize that one needs to either fix it themselves, or be willing to pay the...

    What do these dash lights mean?

    I thought the pressure was the problem, as the Three Amigos have not been around for a while (the longest since I have had the rig). However, they came back today. I am leaning towards the Shuttle Valve. Is there a cheap fix (DIY) for this?

    What do these dash lights mean?

    Low tire pressure the cause? I checked the tire pressure yesterday, as one looked a little low (only had 20#) After airing up, the "Three Amigos" have not returned. That is cool! I hope that was the problem.

    Coolant smell under the hood

    I installed the Bar's Liquid Copper yesterday, and we will see how it works.

    Coolant smell under the hood

    I saw a similar product that cost about $28. It says that the entire cooling system needs to be drained and flushed (product not compatible with coolant). I may give that a try.

    leaking head gasket

    I think he means head gasket fix "in a can". I was wondering the same thing. I saw a product (actually several) at the auto parts store that is a "block seal" and "head gasket fix". The directions say to completely drain all the coolant, and flush the system. Then add the chemical and water...

    Coolant smell under the hood

    Would a dose of radiator stop leak fix it?

    What do these dash lights mean?

    I took all 4 wheels, rotors, and sensors out today and cleaned them. I drove about 5 miles and thought the "Three Amigos" had left town. I was wrong, they came back a mile or so later (along with the check engine light).

    What do these dash lights mean?

    I did not pay for it. I got the rig after the rebuild (2,000 miles after). The PO paid about $3,200 for the job.

    What do these dash lights mean?

    I read about the "Three Amigos", and it seems I should look into cleaning the sensors first. Is it safe to say that the trans code and the three amigos are not related?

    What do these dash lights mean?

    They come on and stay on by just driving down the road. No hills, or panic stopping.

    What do these dash lights mean?

    I am new to Rovers, and do not have an owners manual. Could someone tell me what these 3 lights mean? I know the one is for the antilock brakes, but not the other two. The trans was rebuilt about 2,000 miles ago by AAMCO. I have also gotten a transmission code twice, and have had to clear...

    Coolant smell under the hood

    I have a 99 Disco with a burning coolant smell under the hood. It has very little coolant loss, and no coolant in oil. After reading a few threads, the prevailing opinion is that the valley pan gasket is bad. Is there a recall on this? If not, mine is not under warranty, so I will need to fix it...

    Coolant leak...

    I have a 99 Disco with the same (or similar) problem. Burning coolant smell under the hood, very little coolant loss, no coolant in oil. The prevailing opinion is that the valley pan gasket is bad. Is there a recall on this? If not, mine is not under warranty, so I will need to fix it...

    Newbe Land Rover owner

    I recently got a 99 Discovery. I have not driven it much (need to register & smog it), so I know very little about it. I just finished some repairs to it to make it road worthy, so I hope to start driving it soon. It still has a small coolant leak, so I will start a new thread if I can't find...
