    Serious issues...

    Maybe have your fuel pressure checked at the rail? If low it could be the pressure regulator or pump.

    Super locking feature on 2001 Discovery II

    Nothing special to unlocking after superlock so I don't think that's your issue. Either a fuse blew somewhere or (more likely) the BCU is having problems.

    Flashing (blinking) Odometer

    That is strange. The Rover seems to be pretty sensitive to poor battery connections....pretty easy to clean and tighten...you should do it to prevent future gremlins. If it were me, at the end of the day, I would disconnect the battery and check to make certain the connections to the...

    Replacing Cats

    take it to a muffler shop (Midas is pretty good) and ask them to test the cats. They can tell you if they are both bad, only one bad, or not bad at all....it could save you $$$.

    Fuel Pump?

    Fuel Pump Emergency Shut off Just thought I would mention that there are a couple of things that can cause no fuel... 1. There is a Fuel Pump shut-off switch on the fiirewall, passenger's side. An accidet or good bump can cause it to cut power. 2 . There are some fuses to check: The...

    O2 Sensor

    Mass Air Flow (MAF) cleaner The Family Handyman, April 2007 Recommendation is to use "CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner" on the MAF everytime the air filter is changed. By their testing, it seems to be the only thing that worked...available at CarQuest, Advance, and O'Reilly auto part...

    Don't know what to do, weird putt putting kinda sound and vibration

    Ticking sounds most likely comes from the valve train. I would be willing to bet that your lifters aren't getting enough oil. Seafoam seems to have become a panacea for almost everyone's sick Rover:) I'm surprised that you didn't get a immense cloud of smoke from putting it through the...

    Coolant leak stopped, now no oil pressure...

    Congratulations on a running, non-leaking (for now:) Land Rover! So....what do you think?

    Don't know what to do, weird putt putting kinda sound and vibration

    What happens when you're cruising along at 35mph and floor it? Does is splutter and cough, or does it act about the same as if you just gave it a little throttle? The Seafoam won't hurt anything and may just solve your problem. Additionally, I would suggest running a quart of ATF in the oil...

    plug wire diagrams??

    Looking down from the front of the vehicle the cylinders are: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (driver's side (US) front cylinder is #1) Just for grins...consider this....the Discovery uses "Wasted Spark Principle". When the ECM triggers an ignition coil to spark, current...

    ABS sensor ring removal from rotor

    Rusted parts are the worst:mad: Liberal applications of penetrating oil and heat are the solution. SOAK the thing in penetrating oil---every day for a few days. An occasional rap with a hammer helps the oil get in deeper (and will make you feel better.) Heat from a torch (not the...

    retorqueing head bolts????

    Have you put your Discovery back together? How is it running for you? When Rovers work right, the driving experience is something special:biggrin:

    Searching for MAF

    Just out of curiosity, what did you clean your MAF sensor with? Recently there was an article in Popular Mechanics that listed the only spray cleaner they had found that works---I'll try to find the name if you're interested.

    Front windows dead - anybody knows CPR

    I'm sorry, I was giving you directions for a Discovery II based on the beginings of this thread. I have no experience with the Discovery I nor any of the service manuals. Nevertheless, Land Rover seems to make evolutionary changes instead of sweeping changes, so you could still look to see if...

    Front windows dead - anybody knows CPR

    Reseating=pulling the electrical connectors apart (check for bent pins or corrosion) and then put them back together.

    Front windows dead - anybody knows CPR

    Body Control Unit The body control unit is behind the passenger's glovebox....it controls wipers/exterior lights/alarm system/door locks/windows and sunroof motors/and window heaters. To remove the BCU, take out the four screws from the glovebox hinges and remove the glovebox (which will...

    Dash Cupholder??

    Drink Tray Removal The assembly should come out easily if you want to take a closer look. By the book.... 1. Remove coin tray and ash tray. 2. Remove 6 screws securing drink tray assembly to fascia. 3. Remove drink tray The screws are accessible through the coin tray and ash try...

    Don't touch :biggrin: If it isn't broken, don't mess with it.

    Front windows dead - anybody knows CPR

    fuse #34 or BCU Both front windows going at the same time could be fuse #34 (30a) or the BCU. The BCU (body control unit) has total control over the front windows...it controls the voltage, one-touch down, and stall condition.

    coolant leak possibilities????

    3 core plugs From the shop manual illustration, it appears there are 3 "Core Plugs" on the back of the engine. Finding a leak on an engine can be a challenge. Especially in the back where it is dark and difficult to see. A trick I've used in the past is to clean the engine off as much as...

    Musings on arriving at 100k on my D2..part 3

    7. Leaking valve covers The bolts securing the covers loosen over time. So, before tearing the top of the engine off, try gently tightening the bolts. If it does become necessary to replace the gaskets, give them a good RTV'ing. I've had the same problem with a leaking engine pan...some of...

    Picking up from Part 1.... just covering the first 6 of 13 issues. 1. Leaking radiator Like death/taxes...inevitable. Save money by using an aftermarket radiator. (I will look up part number and put in future post) 2. Rear tail lights burning out Common occurance and potentially...

    Musings on arriving at 100k on my D2..part 1

    I have hit the 100,000 mile mark with my 1999 Discovery II and thought maybe others could profit or find some comfort in my experience. My 1999 was purchased from Land Rover, Barrington (now defunct). It was a demo with a few miles. There's an amusing ancedote regarding how I ended up...
