Clunk, Thump, Bang
Well I rolled around in the dirt and felt and tugged on things, but I couldn't find any obvious culprits. I did find however that my rear shock bushings are wearing and I can rattle the shocks by hand, but that doesn't explain the noise from the front end. Here's a new one, when I was driving... -

parts supplier?
Where can I buy a rotoflex for a decent price? Take into account that I'm in British Columbia, Canada and shipping will be a factor. I'm not going to do the conversion because it doesn't fit my budget, plus I have other repairs to do, and also it looks like I'm going to be selling my rover... -

Clunk, Thump, Bang
It's not the tires hitting, and I would doubt the cv joints because I'm familiar with what they sound like, and this noice does not sound like that. I also doubt anything to do with the steering, cause i'm not feeling any feedback through the steering wheel. I'm suspicious of the sway bar... -

Clunk, Thump, Bang
When I'm driving slowly, lets say in a parking lot, and I hit a speed bump or a pot hole, I am getting a clunking sound (almost like a snap) from somewhere in the front end. It will only clunk once, when it hits the bump. Sometimes I can feel it through the floorboards. Any clues as to what it... -

AC refridgerant quantity?
Does anyone know how much AC refridgerant goes into an 96' D1??? My disco does not come equipped with rear AC so I will only be charging the front system. -

Newbie question - Links to best tires for purchase?
My personal fave for a family SUV is the BF Goodrich All Terrain. However, I just checked their web site and they don't offer this tire in your rim size. Sorry. I like this tire for it's quiteness, smooth running and even wear; it offers good traction in snowy conditions; if you do go... -

Yo! That's how I started this thread off. I have 275's on stock rims with no cutting and lots of rub. -

Tires
Unless anyone else states otherwise, go ahead and do just the two if the other pair on the vehicle still have some good tread on them. It should go without saying, but I will say it anyways, make sure the two you change are onto the same axle (ie. the two tires on the front or the two on the... -

What mileage does your D1 get?
Those of you with Discovery 1's, what kind of fuel economy do you get? Has it gotten better, worse, or stayed the same? -

problems from the start
Welcome to the world of L.R. Disco's. LOL. But seriously, I purchased my 96' about a month ago, with about the same mileage and I got it for a really good price too. I too have been having issues with mine. A few weeks ago I was really thinking I had made a big mistake. However, all the issues...- discoman

Tire sizes
Since this is the new family wagon, it will see very little time off the road, just the occasional foray a few times a year, nothing too extreme. (extreme is what my Land Cruiser is built for). I think I will go with the 245's since that is the size of my spare tire. -

Dash and consul lighting
In my 96' Disco, only some of the dash switches light up when the headlights turn on. For instance, the "SEL" switch light up, but not the "NEXT" switch. And the cruise control switch lights up, but not the fog light switch. I am assuming it is just bad bulbs because all the switch function... -

No Cruise - Part II
Cruise is now working - Yippeee Well folks, I finally got the cruise control working just a few minutes ago. The problem was with the brake pedal and the switch located there. The pedal does not travel back far enough to fully engage the switch. When the switch is not engaged two things... -

What is it????
I crawled under my Disco yesterday to get more familar with the underside and I saw some things that were puzzleing. First off, I noticed that the rear driveshaft is connected to the pumpkin not via a u-joint, but a rubber coupler that looks kinda like a rag joint from a steering shaft. I've... -

Tire sizes
When I bought my Disco the previous owner had left some Bridgestone Duellers that 275/70r16 in size. I find these are way to big. They rub the radius arms at full lock and I havn't articultated the axles yet to see if they rub the inside of the fenders. I think i will be safe if i go to a... -

No Cruise - Part II
The dash switch is brand new, as i destroyed the original in my primary investigation. As for the vacuum lines, i took all three and hooked them one at a time up to the throttle diaphram and used my own lips to apply suction. I was able to actuate the diaphram and hold it in place with no... -

No Cruise - Part II
Hey joey, ya, I bench tested the pump and it was working. How well was it working? I don't know, I have nothing to compare to. But it was pumping. But it looks like I'm not getting power to the pump at all. Could this be a problem with my steering wheel switches? I have already tested the... -

No Cruise - Part II
Darn it! I just can't get to cruise to work. Tonight I unplugged the wires from the vacuum pump, started the vehicle, turned the dash cruise switch on and used a test light on the wire plug ends. The test light did not light. My fuses are good. Is this a viable test for checking power to the... -

Still no cruise - ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Just bad bulbs Thanks NHESS81. I am getting water spray out of the rear jet, but not at the headlights. Thats on my to-do list. I do know that the headlights have to be on and on low beam in order for the headlight jets to engage. I checked all the side marker lights last night, and every... -

Still no cruise - ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
OK, I checked all vacuum lines, cut off cracked portions, no cruise. Dash button lights up when pressed, no cruise. Took out vacuum pump and tested it, pump works, reinstalled pump, no cruise. Checked cutoff switch, looks good, no cruise. Checked fuses, good fuses, no cruise. I'm at a loss here... -

Electronic corrosion control
So I pick up an Australian off-roading magazine a few years ago and it's filled with ads and an article about these devices that help prevent rust and corrosion on your vehicle. Many of the rigs mentioned in the rag use these devices. Apparently, on the east coast of Australia, there is a heavy... -
