    power steering pressure hose O ring ?

    here is the part, http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/RTC4826G I have looked for a size with no luck. If your trying to source the O-ring locally pull the hose and take it to a hydraulic shop and have them size it.

    Discovery 2 O2 sensor

    I just bought a full set from Rock Auto, I think they were about $60 each. They have been on the rover for a few months and have been working fine. they scan with my reader and show they are working proper. Bap Geon has them too a bit more money, and then all the normal places like Rovers North...

    Looking for a used full roof rack. I know someone out there has one they want to get rid of.

    I have no idea

    So is it running properly again? I would recommend not using the oil type filter because it can cause a slight oil film build up on the MAF and cause it to hold on to any little bit of dirt that gets by the filter leading to improper function or failure. That being said I use a K&N...

    1996 disco 1 over fueling

    Have the codes read at the local auto part store and then find out what the truck is saying. Sounds like it could be several different things. The only way to narrow it down is with the codes. First thought in my mind is bad O2 sensors. they are supposed to control the fuel trim. But you...

    I have no idea

    What is leading you to believe it is the coils? Have you had the codes read and there were coil specific codes? I would start with the basic stuff first and work your way through. Did you remove the filter and clean the MAF? While it was off did you look at and clean the throttle body? All can...

    I have no idea

    it wouldn't hurt to pull it and drop a standard one in. then clean the MAF. The MAF can get dirty all on its own so a good cleaning now and then is not a bad idea, because it can cause all the problems you said your having.

    Rear Main Seal

    So after a lot of research today I have discovered that the seal does slide over the crank and into the block. I was worried that it was sandwiched between the block and the rear main bearing carrier. I really didn't want to drop the oil pan. So it looks fairly straight forward. I will take lots...

    Rear Main Seal

    I am replacing my 1998/99 D1 transmission this weekend. Wondering how hard it is to replace the rear main seal? It still has the factory gems 4.0, Can it be done with out pulling the oil pan? I haven't looked at the rave yet due to my work schedule. I have done this on many other vehicles and it...

    Brakes won't stop the car!

    Without any more information I would say you got some oil or something else slick on the disks or pads. Had that happen to me after someone replaced pads on my discovery 1 they had lubed the pistons in the calipers and in the process got it on the disks. it would stop ok-ish under normal...

    timing cover

    thcooler, In your post regarding the radio code you said your disco is a 1997? if so I think you have a Disco 1, the Disco 2 didn't go into production over seas until late 1998 and didn't come to the states until late 1999. Make sure of the model before looking for a fix because the two...

    Coolant leak ?!

    I have never used blue devil. So I can't comment on if it works, or if it will work for this application. I am not a big fan of using the sealers on the rovers. Mainly because the radiators cooling passages are pretty small and get clogged up on there own with out the help of anything that is...

    D1 Brakes - Replace - TRW

    I did the defender swap to my last disco and didn't see any really noticeable difference. When I did my swap I used good condition used parts(rotors and calipers), witch shouldn't really make a difference. if you did that set up and found some performance rotors it could make a big change. But I...

    Electrical issue

    Indeed Joey it is a strange combo of failures:stupid:. I know they all happened after the snow. and my first thought was fuse, but they were all good and I still replaced them just to be sure. I am wondering if they all share a common ground. other wise I just have bad luck :hmpf:

    D1 Brakes - Replace - TRW

    I may have misunderstood. Are you looking for pads? or the whole set up? If just pads I had EBC Performance pads on my last disco and they did very well. But if your rotors are worn then the new pads will only perform as well as the worn rotors will let them.

    D1 Brakes - Replace - TRW

    If your just using the standard Rotors from either company you wont see any real difference other than the fact all the parts will be new and working as they were meant to. I recently replaced my brakes all the way around the disco with the performance drilled and slotted rotors from rovahfarm...

    HELP-ASAP -D1 brakes failed must limp home 10miles

    Sorry I didnt see this when you posted it long ago. I have lost a brake line before (one of the rubber lines) I just used a pair of vise grips and clamped the offending line closed and added fluid and it was good enough to get me back to the house. What line went bad on yours?

    overheating again..stumped

    Joey, I was thinking :albertein that could be a possibility but didn't say because I am not very familiar with the D2 and how the thermostat installs. I know you can install a D1 thermostat the wrong direction. Thanks for chiming in. mkingan, Have you been able to diagnose the problem any...

    overheating again..stumped

    Sounds kinda like a faulty thermostat. Has your truck been running hot? Even when the thermostat seamed to be working? Did you properly purge the cooling system of air when you replaced the thermostat? Just to rule our another problem you could remove the thermostat and see if it overheats...
