    cleaning engine compartment?

    Hey all, My Discos pretty oilly and dusty under the hood. I want to get it all cleaned up so it looks better and so that i can detect any leaks easier. What is the best method to use. I don't care about shiny, i just want it to look clean.

    Thankyou joey, my plan with the 60 is to put the diesel engine and 5-speed tranny into my 45 pickup. Turbo and intercool it and go have some fun. My plans for the disco are to keep it in good running order and to do some mild wheeling with it the odd time. It is the family wagon so I can't get...

    Here's an update, the dash light for the cruise does come on when pressed. I havn't had time yet to check out the vacuum pump, or the rear wiper thing yet. I did however get the power seat controls working! I removed the control pack from the vehicle and completly disassembled it. Be carefull...

    Light are staying on and I can't get my Key our of the KeySwitch!

    I've had some ignition switch experiece with other, more older vehicles, but not with a Rover, yet. I've also worked with household door locks too. The question is, Why won't the key come out, and how can I get it out? I would assume your headlights are in daytime running light mode with the key...

    exhaust (cat) questions

    Nah, there's no testing in my area and they will have to pry my cold, stiff fingers off the steering wheel of my rig before I move anywhere else. I just bought the Rover so I haven't got any indication of the mileage it gets yet. I work in a fabrication shop so I was thinking of removing that...

    exhaust (cat) questions

    I haven't checked out prices on cats yet, but I'm sure they are up there. Mechanic friends of mine are always telling me to cut the cats out on anything because they are a nuisance and plug up and all that. I'm posting this question just to see what others have done and to see what the possible...

    exhaust (cat) questions

    My 96' Disco has a crack in the RH exhaust right between the first 02 sensor and the cat. The resulting fudha-fudha-fudha noise is somewhat of a bother. It's not overly loud but i'm going to get it fixed up none the less. I'm a bit old skool and not used to sensors and ECU's and what or how a...

    a newbie with some L.R. issues

    Hello all, Just purchased my first Rover. It is a 96' Disco SE7, 4.0l, Auto, with 307,000 kms. She runs great but has a few problems that I'd like to nail down. First off is the cruise contol. I checked the vacuum lines and brake pedal switch. After cutting off the cracked portions and...
