    Upper rear windows

    Still getting to know my 97 Disco SE-7. I was admiring the newly discovered antenna tuner thingy in the LR window, when I looked up. I noticed that the little top curved window has a plexi inner window. I then looked at the otherside, and lo, no inner plastic window. Sooo, my Q is do I more...

    The check engine light is on in my '97 Disco. The engine may have overheated, as a few miles from home, both the check engine and oil lamps came on. I stopped and checked the oil level and it was okay. Driving on, the engine lost power dramatically. Reaching home, I waited a day, checked all...

    Parts

    Just found a great source for parts, www.colrovers.com. Prices for what I was looking for were 50%+ less than I found at other sources like Roverland. And the shipping costs are just that, actual cost for shipping. I am impressed with their customer service. :biggrin:

    Idle speed

    Just bought a '97 Disco and drove it back from Atlanta to Tennessee, about 300 miles. No problems except I noticed accelleration lag at speed, and the cruise didn't work. When I investigated, I noticed that the vacuum hoses at the tee fitting at the LR of the engine compartment were severly...
