    Electric Window problem

    Window problem I had the same problem with my 2001 DII.I ended up putting a small screw in the track to keep it from going down all the way down.There is a hole already in the track mechinisem that moves the window up and down.When you take the door panel off you can watch it as it goes down...

    Disco colapsed over rear wheel well

    Sitting on the bump stops It could be any number of things that control the rear air ride system.Fuse,bad air pump,hole in one of the air bags or a hole in one of the lines from the pump to the air bags.I had this problem several times and finally got tired of working on it and replaced the air...

    From sputtering and dying to zooming and flying... why?

    Tps The TPS seems to be the logical culprit,I would change it.BTW there are no sweet Discos,some are born evil but most just get that way with age.Kinda like people.

    sitting on the bump stops

    Thanks Thanks to all that replied to my post.It does seem to be more weather related than an issue to be resolved.Since it's my daughters Rover I might be able to talk her into getting rid of it or moving to a warmer climate so I don't have to here about the next problem of the week.LOL

    im cold

    i'm cold I have to agree with Joey.A couple gal. of antifreeze and a new thermostat is the cheapest fix based on what you have said.If that fixes it I'm glad I could help.

    The old girl sits on the bump stops in cold weather but airs up fine when started.01 d2,116k.Also looking to trade it for an LR3.Is this a good move or just a move to a different set of PITA problems?Thanks for any help.

    im cold

    i'm cold too Widepud,does the engine get to normal operating temp?if it doesn't the thermostat could be stuck in the open position not allowing the coolant to get to operating temp.just a thought.
