'95 Disco Front Drive Shaft (propeller shaft)
Thanks Joey, I pumped in some grease into the 3 universal joints (about 3.5 pumps each) and the two grease points on the front and rear propeller shafts. On the front propeller shaft grease point I put in 14 squeezes of grease. At that point I noticed some grease coming out of the end of... -

'95 Disco Front Drive Shaft (propeller shaft)
Hey everyone. It's been a while, which is good, but this one might be the nail in the coffin for me getting a new vehicle. 1995 Discovery, 125,000 miles, light duty in Colorado - 15 miles a day on paved roads, keep up on basic preventative maintenance but otherwise fix it as it needs it... -

Front wheel bearings
Thanks Frankie... A couple other quick questions. Do you need to pull off the brakes to do this job? Do the seals or gaskets need to be greased at all when they are installed? When you grease the bearings, do you just slop it on both sides? how thick a layer, etc? Thanks again. -

Front wheel bearings
Hey everyone, going to do this job soon and remembered there is a big locknut on the axle stub..... anyone remember what size it is so I can go pick up the right sized socket? I only got this one vehicle so I can't take it apart and then head to the tool shop. Thanks ahead of time. -

Fuel Pump keeps going - Electrical Problems - fault code 17
I got the battery and alternator tested at O'reilly. Battery was 12.85V and the alternator had ~14.2V coming from it, so those look okay. So while I was changing the oil....and deciding to hire someone to change my tranny filter.... I cleaned all the battery contacts that I could access. I... -

Fuel Pump keeps going - Electrical Problems - fault code 17
Hey everyone. Been a while since I've posted, but I've got a new handfull of items I could use some advice on. I'm driving a '95 Discovery with 102,000 miles. Within last year new fuel pump and relays, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, IAC, fuel and coolant temp sensors. So two weeks ago I shipped... -

Hub gasket leak? or bearings?
So I finally got around to changing the swivel grease and the hub gasket. I couldn't pull out the level plug on the swivel housing, I got it loose enough that I was hoping the grease would seep around the threads but that didn't happen so I just put the whole tube of swivel grease in there... -

Hot Start Problems
Alright it's been a couple weeks. The hot start problem seems to be solved by replacing the fuel pump. I actually heard someone on 'Car Talk' with the exact same problem and was hoping they would tell her to check the fuel pressure, but the had to explain how to check the spark. Anyway... -

Hub gasket leak? or bearings?
Okay, I'm somewhat unfamiliar with maintaining this part of the vehicle, so just to be clear: I should follow 'renew swivel pin housing oil' protocol from the Disco workshop manual using the swivel housing grease available from Atlantic British. If I add/change the front or rear axle oil... -

Hub gasket leak? or bearings?
Hey everyone, 95 disco, 97,000 miles, left hand drive, I've been getting a leak of grease or oil that has got my front passanger side rim looking black. It almost seems like the leakage may be coming from the lug nuts and spinning outward onto the rim. I don't see any leaks or drips... -

Hot Start Problems
Hey everyone. So I put in a new fuel pump on Saturday and the pressure is back up to about 35psi. I've driven it around a bit the past two days and I haven't had my hard hot start problem that started this whole thing. Although, I have had to reset the check engine light twice, but it didn't... -

Hot Start Problems
Okay, so I pressure tested the fuel rail. I didn't depressurize the system first or release the gas tank pressure, hopefully that doesn't matter. Here are the results: Initial hook up: 20psi key at 2nd position: 20psi car wouldn't start right off since a bunch of fuel came out when I hooked... -

Hot Start Problems
Aloha everyone. So I switched out the fuel pump relay. Didn't seem to help. I took the old fuel pump relay and put it into the main fuel relay slot and left the new relay in the fuel pump relay to test the main relay. Results are inconclusive so far on that. Haven't gone out and bought... -

Hot Start Problems
Thanks Joey. I am going to see if I can rent a pressure gauge from checker this weekend. Does the 95 discovery have a crankshaft position sensor? That was something that kept coming up in other threads when I first started looking into my problem, but I couldn't find any suppliers that had... -

Hot Start Problems
Got stranded for an hour again. I tried pulling off the MAF sensor, but that didn't help the hot start. Also checked the plugs for spark and it had good spark. Two mechanics happened to be next to my car when this happened and they took a look. They thought fuel pressure might be problem and...
