    Fan switch replacement. Where to find switch?

    I do not want to replace the entire a/c and heating control unit if I do not absolutely have to. I consider this a challenge to me from Land Rover. The switch is stuck on 4...fan not running, of course. It stopped working when it jammed in that position. I took the dash apart, lots of fun...

    Potential purchase advice needed

    Read a bunch of the threads. You'll see a lot of common and some not-so-common problems. Rovers can have a lot of problems, they are rated very poorly for reliability. I am almost smacking myself for planning to take the Rover to Mexico next weekend. *fingers crossed* That said, the...

    DSII Gas Mileage ?

    Yeah, that's possible. It does sound good now. I'm babying it on this current tank of gas just to see how it turns out. The fact that my work is only about 7 miles away and the truck only warms up completely after about halfway there, doesn't help my gas mileage I'm sure. The amazing thing...

    DSII Gas Mileage ?

    Something interesting. I just changed the two front O2 sensors on my 97 D1. It has 128k miles, and always ran good, and got up to 17mpg on the highway going an average of 70-75 mph, and 15 in town. Now, I'm getting max of 16-17 on the highway, and around 13-14 in town. I think it's...

    Valve Cover Gaskets

    There's not much to take off on the right side of the engine. That's the easy side, yes. The plenum does have to come off, but it's not that bad. Mine seemed stuck on pretty well, but after a little convincing it came off fine. And it gave me an opportunity to clean out the buildup on the...

    Amoung All Of The Negativity...

    My '97 has been running great for almost 2 years now... I just had to get the maintenance up to date, and repair a leaking radiator. I still love it.

    Stuttering for 20 seconds after decelerating

    I'd change the VSS if I were you. Knocking it down to 3rd gear to fix the problem is a key sign that the problem IS the VSS.

    Low speed metal on metal noise?

    Left front, left rear, speed hearing noise at, during acceleration/coasting, brakes looked at? etc... The diff plug can be taken off using the 1/2" ratchet if I remember correctly. Every grease monkey has one of those!

    Where is the jack and lug nut wrench?!

    My jack is on the side opposite the battery. And my wrench kit is under the back seat. There's a velcro piece there to hold it in place.

    Disco I 94: Window motor or Regulator Problem?

    Symptoms? Need more info. To find out if it is the regulator, pull the door panel off and look at the regulator. You should be able to tell if it's missing any teeth, anything is broken, etc. If it just stopped working one day, and you can not hear the motor strain when you push the...

    2001 Discovery SE constantly WHINES!!!!

    I wasn't under the impression that the tc would be in operation if the car was sitting still. You described the noise as being present while sitting still in your driveway/garage. That doesn't jive with the tc, for me.

    Didn't get Owners manual, need to know what a button does?

    It's supposed to resemble a highway, not some howlie grinding some phat rails on a skateboard. Strange indeed. I can't recall if there is a light or not...but for some reason I think their is. I'd check, but my vacuum lines need to be checked as well.

    Rodents ate my Disco II...

    I've seen full wiring harnesses in ebay shops for D1 and D2 models. Gonna pick up a spare tire carrier for my rusted out one there myself soon.

    Wheel bearing replacement question

    I think I'll take a picture of the swivel housing sometime soon, and post it. I can't imagine there not being a oil level check plug or drain plug either. Maybe one of you can point it out to me. I could hardly imagine that I've missed it, though. Thanks for the replies, guys.

    swivel preloads and panhard rods where to buy at

    http://www.rovertym.com/ They have panhard rods, steering stabilizers (not oem, but better I believe). I don't know what a swivel preload is. Excuse my noobishness. http://www.rovertracks.com/products/steering.html They have probably what you're looking for too...

    Wheel bearing replacement question

    Okay, so because of all the replies :flipoff: I'm here for some more self-punishment. :) I replaced the front left cv joint with a HD one from GBR today. Did it at a friend's house (I have no garage). On the way home, which is about 50 miles, I heard a high pitched whine coming from...
