oil leak,,
Been getting a growing oil leak around the oil pan. Is there a gasket for the engine sump or would I be OK using The Right Stuff gasket maker? Can the pan be removed easily to remove the old gasket? (will the axel or oil pump prevent me from removing pan?) Thanks, Neill 96 Disco... -

Can you be more specific as to where to find the valve? I think I'll go with that route.. Who much fuel can I expect to loose during this process? (the entire change out if the hoses aren't clamped?) Thanks, Neill -

97 Disco - locked in park
Underneath on the peddle itself... the break will have two switches.. on my 96 disco the first I came to is the cruise control release.. next up was the break switch. If yours is different it will be easy to tell... the cruise switch has more lines going to it in addition to an air hose.//... -
