    Major overheating problems.

    I think this might be my problem... getting the rover towed in today. Can any one add to what these symptoms might mean? (I am a little nervous about the answer) Over heating (I don't let it run hot- it just starts to overheat) Coolant flushing out (all over the place) Chocolate oil...

    Serpentine Belt Replacement

    Those that know, (that means you, Joey! :biggrin:) I have a '97 Disco 4.0 in need of a new serpentine belt. After being quoted $250 with labor, I think I will give it a shot myself. I did a search function on this forum, and found plenty of replies say that it is easy, but I wondered if...

    Wont stay running when low on gas

    Just to clarify- I am not running OUT of gas! So when I let my '97 Disco get real low on gas (the light comes on), and then I park my car on our inclined drive way (the hood is facing downhill) my car has a tough time idling- and will sometimes conk out. I don't know if the pump is in the...

    winshield queston

    Gerbils, they can sneak in almost anywhere and crack the hell out of your windshield. At least that is what I would say if I was a 10 year old. You got any little kids that could have been in the garage?

    abs fuse?

    Did you pull the right fuse? It would seem so if the ABS light is always on, and it used to not be, but that could be coincidence. I would check that you pulled the ABS fuse, because if you are getting the loud clink-clank and bad braking from a faulty ABS, but the fuse is pulled then your...

    Refreshing the Brush Bar

    this weekend I would like to "refresh" my brush bar. I live in a big city, and the thing has about 100 scuffs on it, many of them white which makes my black powder coated bar look a little crappy. I know that dents and dings are good on a Rover, but I would like to seel up these places...

    Leaky Mess!!

    I assume the "snake oil" comment from healey was directed at my post- some might have doubts about the effectiveness of stop-leak, and I know the stuff is only supposed to stop leaks with cracked tubing, but it worked. And since the bottle of stop leak PS fluid is about 60 cents more then the...

    Leaky Mess!!

    Yeah- if you don't have a problem with the environmental impact, just keep filling it up every so often and go about your business. I was told that my pump had a leak, but I actually bought some stop leak PS fluid and now it either doesn't leak, or leaks very very slow.

    Leaky Mess!!

    The PS shouldn't be hard- just check your reservoir and see if it is low. Also, it will probably be starting to squeal when you turn the wheels if it has already lost that much fluid just in your driveway.

    Sorry to link to another forum, but a RRS forum has a frame by frame of a disco going over a sand dune and flipping! Pretty crazy stuff if you are interested... http://rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14906

    Rear door speaker grill replacement

    I had mine replaced on my D1 a few years back. After trying to track down one from LR, I gave up and I just walked into a "metal speciality" shop. After chatting it up with the guys for a couple of minutes I told them my problem. They walked out to my car and looked at the pattern, and then...

    Premium fuel?

    I was told that a major reason to use premium was because the lower octane fuels will build up more "junk", I assume carbon deposits, on the cylinder heads and because of the small level of clearance b/w the block and pistons, you will eventually have to have the engine pulled, and the cylinder...

    brake light bulb

    you are correct!! UK must have used child labor to get those things in. I take it that you have already removed the cover to get back there. I loosened up the metal bar and spun it out of the way, then I torqued the hell out of my fingers and got it to snap loose (lefty loosey). the problem...

    Future predicition for 2008 Discoverys/Range Rovers

    I don't know what "color temperature of the main lights" means, but I have lost interest in the RR lights, and would like to devote my efforts into convincing you to never even think about the under car lighting again. I really hope that was a joke and I just didn't get it!

    Future predicition for 2008 Discoverys/Range Rovers

    What are we supposed to do, play Dick Tracy? Come on, divuldge the secrets! Does it have neon lights under the car? Oh, it must be lights in the rims that spells "RANGE ROVER" when they spin.... Give up the goods, tell us what you know!!

    ABS problem

    Well, I am not giving any advice, but what I did was disable the ABS. 2.5 years ago on my Disco and 6 months ago on the RR. Best move I have ever made. But, I am not telling anyone to disable any safety devices....

    98 Disco, Need Knick-Knack Parts

    not to hijack your thread, but I am looking for a new drivers side (US model) headlamp sprayer- the ones that clip into the bumper. I have a '97 Disco, that is bad ass.

    black sticky fluid from rearview mirror?

    You got it- the Auto Dim is done. The obvious thing to do is buy a new one, which is what I did. However, after installing my new one- I ripped the old apart to see if I could have just cleaned out the fluid and you can. (obviously you loose the auto dim function) It was a pain to get the...

    LR3 BASE VS X5 - please help newbie

    Two cars- same price, and one is a (almost) brand new 2006 LR3 under warranty -OR- a (two months from being an old body style) 3 year old X5 with 45,000 miles on it? That is an easy choice for me, but I could always find a way to rationalize buying another LR.
