    How about a breaker bar with some break free. I didn't have any trouble with mine though.

    Considering a used Disco

    I think the remaining standard warranty is transferable. Isn't it 4 years or 50k miles?

    Considering a used Disco

    My DI is kinda on the small side with the wife and two kids. It works but if we have a lot of gear, the rear can fill up quickly. The DII is supposed to have more cargo room. Definately better than the fl. RR's are pretty expensive but have more cargo room. If it were me, I'd go with the...

    Spark Plug wires

    I just did the magnecor blue wires on my DI. They were easy to install and the lenghts were fine. I ordered them from roverconnection and were $67. I used bosch platinum 4's for the plugs. A bit pricey for the combo but I did notice a difference in acceleration.

    just my freakin luck

    I bought my '98 with 86k last summer. I did change all of the fluids, filters, plugs and wires etc. I will be replacing the O2 sensors soon, as well as the valley pan gasket, exhaust y pipe gaskets and have the radiator rodded for peace of mind.

    hood release cable/handle

    I had same problems with mine. I just sprayed some wd in the locking mechanism behind the grill. I'm sure there's a better way to lube it but its been working for me.

    becoming new 96' disco owner

    Congrats. Check all the fluids and see if you can't find any records on when the maintenance was done. Fluids are cheap and a good way to get to know your disco. I would change all of the fluid if you don't know the maintenance history. Also, check to make sure your center diff lock...

    Seafaom Treatment Gone Wrong?

    No, not related. I should have mentioned that in the first place. Good luck with yours though.

    Seafaom Treatment Gone Wrong?

    I had a code once, but oddly enough, it was the fuel evaporative system setting it off. I still need to replace the charcoal cannister. I'll get to it someday.

    Radio Whine gone

    Mike, with your advice, I picked up a set of magnecors a few days ago and waiting for a time to get to work. You really should start working for them, sales maybe? LOL.

    coolant and other problems

    I'm having the same coolant leak. Hopefully, I will be fixing those by next week when the parts get here. Good luck.

    Accessories for 99 DII

    Don't mean to hijack but Mike, do you think you would have made that obstacle without your rear locker or etc?

    Oil and trans cooler lines?

    No big deal. I've gotta fix that too. The high pressure side is leaking ever so lightly.

    Disco Upgrades (Wife got upset)

    Joey, what kind of mileage are you getting with the intake and exhaust? Mine went to shit after just the intake and I'm thinking of going back to the airbox but then its gonna be a pain to mount the resovoir somewhere else.

    Oil and trans cooler lines?

    My trans lines aren't leaking, just the oil lines but I figured I might replace them both at the same time. Joey, did you have pics of your hoses?

    Disco Upgrades (Wife got upset)

    LOL, isn't that the truth.

    Oil and trans cooler lines?

    They aren't ragged but I have seen drops of oil running down them. I won't be able to tell if the drops are from somewhere else just following the lines or the actual lines are leaking. I will look into it when I've got everything apart next week. Thanks.

    Hi! New 2004 Discovery SE

    Oil and trans cooler lines?

    I'm thinking about replacing both sets of cooler lines. Has anyone upgraded these lines like the power steering lines? Do you guys' think its even necessary to upgrade or should I stick with stock parts?

    sway bars, do i keep them or dump them

    No problem Tom. The shocks I have do have external resovoirs, which required DII shock towers modified to allow the hose to go through the top. Any other questions just fire away.

    Hi! New 2004 Discovery SE

    Gotta love the new car smell. Welcome to LRW. What kind of sites are you looking for, vendors, forums? As for accessories, that's up to you and how you want to use the truck.
