    Rear side window won't roll up!!

    The rear side window on my 1997 Disco is totally messed up. Suddenly it just makes a churning noise when you press the up button and you can slide the glass up by hand but it slides back down on it's own! I want to try taking the door apart. I'm hoping it's a simple fix. Any advice??

    Side mirror replacement glass

    Anyone know of a good place to buy the mirror glass for the side mirror on a discovery 1? Rovers North is the only place I can think of, but I could find it on their site. The motor works fine, it's just the stupid mail truck broke the glass out of the mirror. :mad:

    97 Discovery 4.0 oil change question

    How much new oil should you put in a '97 Disco when changing the oil and filter? I thought it was about 7 quarts, but nothing was showing up on the dipstick, so I added another half quart and now it's looking like it went over the full line on the dipstick. It's hard to tell how much is in...

    Supercharged Range engine

    You think there is a way to install the supercharged Range Rover Sport engine into a 97 Discovery? That'd be pretty sweet.

    Regular maintenance... what have I forgotten?

    What are some commonly overlooked maintenance things for the Disco 1. I'm approaching 100k miles and I've done a lot of the basics; oil changes, transmission fluid, coolant, shocks, spark plugs... Is there any super important maintenance thing I might have forgotten or not known about for a Rover?

    My exhaust sounds so good

    Just had to brag... I pulled the little cork out of my new exhaust today and that thing just purrs like a ferrari. I'm not even joking. I DUSTED a Nissan 350z today (yea the new ones). My Disco is just roarin.

    New shocks, new steering stabilizer

    My ride looks sweeeeeet!! You guys are my only "land rover" friends, so this is the only place that anyone would appreciate my efforts, but I put in new shocks and a new steering stabilizer this week in my 97 Disco. They're white with red shock boots (to match the burgundy paint). They look sick...

    Freakin' Leakin'

    My 97 Disco is leaking transmission looking fluid from the engine area like a mutha. I have noticed it for the past few months, but I don't remember it leaking like this before, but it might have been leaking all along. My power steering reserve goes down over time, so I'm thinking it's that...

    Rear shocks installed, question about front shocks

    I got the rear shocks installed on my 97 disco this week and it went great and it handles like a dream! I feel like I'm in a new range rover or something now. I can't wait to put the front shocks in and the steering damper, I'll be set... but I'm unsure how to take out and install the front...

    Loosening lug nuts on Disco 1!

    I can't get the wheels off my Disco 1. I was going to try changing the rear shocks today until I realized the tire iron that came with my rover, simply seems not to fit over those plastic lug nut cover things. Do those lug nut covers come off? I assume they don't but the socket does not want to...

    Disco or Range Rover?

    As a Disco owner, would you want to upgrade to a Range Rover next or would you go with another Discovery? Would you go with another brand altogether? After owning a Land Rover, not much else really appeals to me anymore, except a couple Subarus and some other random cars. I definetely like...

    Just got my new shocks today

    So I got 4 brand new shocks to install (this weekend?) AND shock boots to match my paint. I'm pretty stoked, but it's one of those jobs I feel like wanting to procrastinate because if I mess something up or something goes wrong, I know I'm gonna be without a ride for at least a little while...

    I'm wondering if I'm going to need to get my "whip" aligned again after I install these new shocks I ordered.

    Piston clamp needed for brake job?

    On the Rave cd it talks about needing a piston clamp tool to push the caliper pistons back. I haven't heard any mention of this before. I'm planning on changing my brakes out at the end of the month, so I'm just wondering if this piston clamp tool is a requirement or if you can get away without...

    TD5 turbo

    I'm thinking it might be possible to turbocharge the US Discovery using the TD5 turbo manifold and other parts. Anyone ever do this? Do they fit?

    My Disco looks so wicked

    My Disco looks so wicked. Here's an easy customization tip for all of you out there: Get some LED 194 bulbs and replace the stock 194 bulbs in your headlights. I put a pair of blue LEDs in the headlights and when the parking lights are on the entire headlight just glows an evil blue. My car...

    About to buy a floor jack

    I know I need a 3 ton jack, but how high does it have to extend to lift a stock discovery? There is a regular 3 ton jack for sale and there is an extended version that has a higher lift. I was wondering if the regular version would be high enough for my truck because it comes with more stuff...

    Pro Comp Shocks for Disco 1's

    Hey on RoversNorth they have a set of 4 pro comp shocks for $170. Seems like a really good price. Aren't these good shocks? Would they work with stock springs? I'm probably going to replace my worn out shocks sometime and these seem like a good route to go. On E-bay you can get 4 Bilsteins for...

    Wheel bearings

    Alright, I'm thinking it's time to work on the wheel bearings. I know there's a special socket I need to buy. I should also probably get new bearings too right? Parts America has some cheap bearings, so I figure it would be best to probably go ahead and put in all new bearings while I'm at it...

    Stupid Radio Code doesn't work

    I disconnected my battery today to work on something and when I reconnected everything, the word CODE shows up, but I entered the code 20 times and it won't accept it. I have an official looking laminated card with the code and serial number on it, so I just assumed it was the right code. Do I...

    Anyone know where this blinker thing is located?

    Where is the blinker thing located, the part that makes the clicking sound when the blinkers are on? I wanted to put in an LED bulb and you need this three prong flasher thing that plugs in somewhere... I assume it's somewhere with the rest of the fuses but I haven't looked around for it yet.

    Future predicition for 2008 Discoverys/Range Rovers

    I think I've stumbled upon something major. Be prepared for the 2008 Rovers. I just want to say right now that I was the one who started it, so when you notice something different about the 2008's, you'll know it came from me. I'm not going to give away my secrets but it has to do with the...

    Custom exhaust suggestions/help needed

    Since there aren't a lot of affordable performance things you can do with the 4.0 engine, I was thinking of squeezing 5 ponies or so out of a custom exhaust. I'm wondering what you think would be the best way to go... I'm thinking of cutting the middle muffler off right before it bolts to...

    Disco 1 fog lights wanted

    Anyone have a pair of working disco 1 fog lights they'd be interested in selling, or know of a good place to look for a pair? I've been trying e-bay but haven't had much luck. There are some brand new sets for $300ish and that seems pretty expensive for my budget. I'm hoping to find some working...
