I've learned to let a lot of little things go, but I've got 2 odd things going on right now and I think it's time to start figuring them out.
THE ROVER: 2000 Disco, auto, 66k miles. CEL showing MAF or O2 issues that I have not resolved yet. Vehicle is basically an urban machine with no serious off-road use to speak of.
#1) Running water sound in the passenger footwell area. It sounds like bubbling water running down a bunch of rocks. It started months ago but has gotten louder now that the temperatures are consistently below freezing. The sound is not consistent. It occurs when I take a corner or punch the accelerator, but stops after a couple seconds. I'm clueless.
#2) This one scares me. Below freezing, when I place the Rover in drive, it doesn't have that familiar grab. Consequently, if I press on the gas at this point, it feels like the e-brake is frozen on, or the tires are spinning. You can feel the engine revving and the rover tilts as though it's trying to break free. If I 'rev' the engine trying to 'pop' it out, eventually the transmission 'grabs' with a solid 'thunk' like I've just been slightly rear-ended by another car. Shifts and drives fine at this point.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the source of the issues. Perhaps the issues are related. Perhaps they're just quirks of LR ownership. I dunno.
