Hi
I took your advice on cleaning (from the elec sensor cleaner from Radio Shack) only the wire assembly and think that this may have been causing some of that hesitation. I wanted to start there and see what happened since it was a bit cruded up in the wire harness area.
The service...
Hi
I too am interested in this unit. However I went to Circuit City and they said I have to change out all of my speakers too??? Whats the deal on this? I have a 99 Disco II.
If anyone else heard this let me know and also if I can replace the stereo only. I guess you needa particular tool...
Coil Pack or MAF
Hi again
My Disco II (68K) after my lovely new replacement trans and drive shaft, just had the service engine come on again this evening. Its bucks abit when accelerating, last a few seconds then the light blinks and stays on. The trend was its on for a few days then it goes...
Hey Joey
Well I am happy again I suppose. I guess you have to resilient in the Rover world. I am still chirping to LR and now that I have a new S belt, replacement tranny with 11K, new Tom Woods drive shaft (things beefy) and some other new pulleys. Back to Vermont this weekend and expecting...
Hi Everyone
I got the official LR est for $5400 (new tranny and drive shaft), so now I am working with a local mechanic on getting a replacement tranny with 11K on it (90 day warranty) and looking at a Tom Woods Custom Drive shaft.
My mechanics price (who works on LR toos) will bring it...
Hi all
Still battling LR on service. I sense the moral of this story is they do not want to deal with fixing older rovers. They simply throw out an astromical price to fix something that does not require "their authorized parts". I think LRs service biggest problem is the mechanics have to...
Hi
Your right. Sorry in my sheer frustration with LR service indeed its a driveshaft. The problem is it blew the tranny so the bills are mounting..
Joey, if you are readying thanks for the advise. Will keep you posted.
Hi all
Well after my exuberance concerning a solved sticky value situation thanks to seafoam, new shocks, tires etc., the evil of all evis occured. My wife is driving at 25 mph and the drive axel between the front and back seat underneath snapped. I am praying that it did not bang into the...
Hey Joey
I have to say, that the last Seafoam fix cured by ills. Its safe to say the sputtering has stipped now for several days, the engine light is off and the truck is riding perfectly. After blowing out the seafoam last week, I did not see as much (exhaust black carbon) residue from the...
Hey Joey
I had to head out of town and still need to change the tensioner and belt. Do you have that diagram handy just so I avoid doing something stupid when changing the belt?
Thanks
Charlie
hey joey
thanks alot....well i may have my friend who used to be a lr mechanic check it out on the side.
actually the frequency of the light coming on know seems to be lessening.
i will let you know how i make out....
also received the s belt and tensioner. seems easy enough and...
Sorry but what exactly is MAF?
Actually the light went off so its correcting almost daily too....I thought about simply bad gas but I have been using 93 octane from Citgo last go around.
never stranded and sure has problems. However its an obsession to get them fixed since I love the car! I am on a mission to get this vehicle in top form though whatever it takes!
Hi All
So I finally got the misfire codes back on. It read:
Emissions Related Powertraind DTCS, Mode 3:
1. Manufacturer Controlled Ignition System or Misfire - PO 305 - The question is this is the proprietary LR code so wondering if anyone out there knows what this actually is? My...
Hey Joey
Thanks. Well, indeed it does not go away when in 3rd. Shall I breakdown and go the dealer for the valve job? I will try one more shot of seafoam or perhaps try to locate this motovac equipment that can blow out the junk first off before biting the bullet on the expensive valve job...
Hi again
After a heavy trip to VT, the service engine light went on again after the car went from decelerating to about 3rd gear, a bit of a hesitation for a few seconds, lights remains blinking, then stays on. It tends to resent normally in a 24 hr period and then starts the cycle again...
Hey Joey
Nathan hooked me up and parts (S belt and Tensioner) should arrive next week. Is this relatively easy to do on my own? Hes a great guy.
Also I had my local mechanic replace the plugs and wires and its still running abit rough according to the Mrs. I am planning on a pretty long...
Hey Joey
One question...There is a description called "belt polyvee with ace". Is this the S belt? Not sure about the UK lingo....Heres the link....

Hi again
Well had misfires in what seemed to be all cylinders. I changed the wires and plugs as the wires were so brittle they crumbled when removing from the plug. Plugs were pretty bad. Air filter was also changed.....
All codes clear and so far no more service engine light to report...
Service Engine Light Still on / Chirping
Hi Again
OK, I had the codes checked and it seemed that 5 cyclinders all had misfires. After taking a close look at the wires, they seemed pretty shot. Pulled a plug and it had a lot of carbon build up. At 68K I am pretty sure the plugs were never...
