[discotec]

I bought a 98 disco about 4 months ago I have devloped a coolent leak from around my intake.
I am planing to replace the gaskets on the intake, water pump , timing cover.
has any one had a problem with the intake leaking befor
Also on a nother note, I was playing in some mud the other day
I must have run through a large pothole all I herd was boom and my rear
blinkers came on like the hazard button was depresed I could hear a relay
clicking from under the dash. When I pressed hazard button I could hear
two relays open and close. I shut my truck off and restarted fixing the problem now I have no parking lights driver side.

I'm having the same coolant leak. Hopefully, I will be fixing those by next week when the parts get here. Good luck.

Kurt,
It is common to have the intake manifold leak cookant.
Don't know what to tell you about the lights, that is bazzar.

Kurt,

If you hit a big pothole, and the blinkers started flashing, you've triggered the interia switch. Look under the hood on the passenger side on the firewall, and you will see a round black button. Push this to reset the switch. It thinks you've been in an accident. It's supposed to cut off the fuel pump as well. Maybe it was only partially triggered. I've seen stranger stuff before.

I have fixed the coolent leak on the intake.

I tried the interia switch.

The flasher thing is an inertia switch, self-resetting after either 30 or 60seconds (don't remember, it's in the manual though).
If the truck thinks you've been in an accident, it will unlock the doors and turn on the 4-way flashers. It will self reset, or shut off and restart.

The marker lights are either dirty sockets shaken a bit, or a fuse.
