    disco suspension questions

    I have a 1997 LSE Discovery and I also have a lean (Looks like it is leaning low on the front right corner) I did put on a 2" Terra Firma coil and shock lift (Medium ride, from British Pacific in Valencia California) and it leveled it a little but not all the way. When putting a coil lift on...

    Water Pump Weeping

    Thanks, BeemerNut. Your reply was very helpful. It turned out that I had a bad reservoir and it was leaking. I hadn't been on this site in a while because of a "know it all" with very poor trouble shooting skills and abrasive demeanor... I still like to hear about what others have...

    In need of help I'm locked out

    Sorry for the partial double post. The whole reply didn't make it... Bj I am curious as to how the starter motor will open your doors. I didn't know the starter bone was connected to the door lock bone...Sorry for the humor...I have had this issue also. In my instances, the door lock...

    In need of help I'm locked out

    Have you looked for a good locksmith? They should be able to get you in the vehicle with ease. As a side note, I have also had the opposite happen, (usually with the back door and the driver’s door) where the locks would seem engaged but they actually were not mechanically locked. i.e. I lock...

    In need of help I'm locked out

    My personal experience with the locking mechanisms on 1997 and 2004 Discovery's is that it has always been tied to the alarm system. Are you saying that you cannot manually open the vehicle with the key (not alarm fob)? If so, and none of the keys work on any of the door locks. Look for the...

    Land Rover LSE 1997 or 1998

    Thanks Don, I suspected as much with the model year issue. Land Rover Scottsdale was not very helpful with historical information either. I think a good slogan or mantra to keep in mind is that "Some know alot about a little bit and some know a little bit about alot, but no one knows...

    95 Disco I ABS light

    Thanks Mike P. I read somewhere that there may be a sensor sticking. I haven't taken the wheels off yet but, by description, it sounds like it is some type of plunger that moves like the caliper piston. I need to replace the pads so I will probably find out more, this weekend. I will...

    Water Pump Weeping

    @Dave Carr...I have no evidence that the water pump is leaking and see zero leakage on or around the pump. I did see a bit of antifreeze on the fan shroud but it appears that that may have been from a failing hose. Replaced that and there are no leaks or drips. I also replaced the expansion...

    Water Pump Weeping

    @Disco Mike, et al, If your 30 years of servicing customers was anything like your behavior here, I am surprised you allegedly made it that long. I don’t believe anyone cares how long you were a service manager if you insult and berate them. You seem to like to insult others as opposed...

    Water Pump Weeping

    @Disco Mike…et al, While I appreciate yours and everyone else's advice and opinions, please do not ever presume to know what I or others are willing to do or what our realizations are. Other than this forum, I do not know you or what your level of knowledge is, nor you, mine. Therefore...

    Water Pump Weeping

    There is no evidence that the pump is faulty or leaking. I was posing a question and Eike had a good suggestion, for the trouble shooting process. I personally like troubleshooting as it lends to the learning process. While I am slowly trying to replace wear items, bad or not and as I have...

    Water Pump Weeping

    Thanks Eike, Where would they rent one? Autozone, O'Reilly's, Pep Boys? I have driven it for the last two days, on the freeway in Phoenix, for about 30 minutes or so each time and it seems to be holding pressure and fluid. Bj

    Maybe starter problems

    If you haven't fixed this yet, is your starter turning? I had a similar problem and the starter motor had a cracked tab, where you bolt it on, and it was not engaging. BPUTAH.com or BritishPacific.com have been my sources for parts. Bj
