[FAQ] Power/mileage/tune-up mods
While i have been out from market for past 9months - there used to be numerous attempts on that one. Basically by now all the Disco1s pretty much got to have nearly custom ones :) As in - replaced cats and muffler, or even piping. Even without piping replacement you can get some juice out of yer... -
Oil Pan removal
yep.. thats the nasty underneath.. altough mine did look much cleaner after all the crap i poured in it.. :) Nice to know it actually making difference -
Oil Pan removal
main thing to be aware off - all the sludge will try to get into your face. Wear goggles and head wrap or something. Use gloves. Other than that - its dead simple 13mm 12pt extension wrench will get it all out.. tube will be sticking right into your face once you drop pan. You cant miss it... -
Valve Job for a 1995 Disco
Dude, i cant comment on reasonability of prices.. I'd replace them all meself (and i actually did 8)). Take time to get comfy with truck, to know each other :) While at it may clean lots of crap from engine :) If you got increasing whine like that -check t-case fluid level. And... -
Tips on changing Coolant Temp Sensor?
Well think of this - it is starting. It is cold. Only way cold temp sensor can send failing value - is if all the sudden has resistance dropped. However metals, when oxydating or after repeated heat/cold cycles normally would actually gain increased resistance. Plus on cold start - ECU... -
Borla Exhaust
Yeah, Andy... its not eye candy or ear candy.. Thats for sure. But hey - its getting me over from point A to B, and it goes like tank - finally all issues with starting/running blah blah - solved... I just had to brace myself for like first few months when exhaust was installed - was sooooo... -
Modifications
rear locker cant be done for that price, unless you find used one (sorry - sold mine). i'd suggest stick in front LSD, if you feel like you may need lockers for yer type of offroading. Or you can buy good set of tires, hi-lift + kit. -
Tips on changing Coolant Temp Sensor?
Answer is - easy. Its right next to distributor. Drawback - to get easy access you need to remove distributor cap, and most likely - pull out coolant upper hoose, and remove housing for thermostat... while at it pony up about 50$ and replace ignition modulator :) Its on back of... -
Borla Exhaust
Thats when you starting to get cabin soundproof.. Yes its louder than stock. A lot. Reported by many borla's users - not only Roverites. On other hand - it will grow on you, like wart that you first finding disgusting and then it appears to add some character... :) I have edelbrock exhaust... -
Drag link
Naah.. mine is D1.. i replaced both rods with HD version off DAP Inc about year ago. Stock links for both models weak at best. If you do rock trails, or have habbit of turning wheels while track isnt moving - you better grab HD... They arent that heavier, they will get your steering dampener... -
Magnaflow Cat-Converter
When you replacing cats - you can ask nicely muffler shop folks to check out flow in rest of system. If they arent complete gitts - they will do it for free right there. But most likely thats what it was - either matrix fell off and blocking muffler flow or muffler's packing material gave up. -
Magnaflow Cat-Converter
if you had rattle in resonator - it would be b/c matrix already went off from cats to there. So you have nicely blocked passages. It may cause all sorts of wonderfull things ;( Answering questions: magnaflow stuff will perform a tick better than OE , but nothing drastic. Also sound will... -
Valve Job for a 1995 Disco
Melissa :))) Faisal - look at the loosing coolant at slow pace as another good way to keep insides of yer engine clean and shiny. Valve job, when done throughly and nicely, about 1200-2000$ altough i may be off a tick - just prices from top of me head. Whiny noise can be all sorts of...
