99 Discovery II bucking
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... -

Has your Disco ever left you stranded?
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!
