disco suspension questions
I have a 1997 LSE Discovery and I also have a lean (Looks like it is leaning low on the front right corner) I did put on a 2" Terra Firma coil and shock lift (Medium ride, from British Pacific in Valencia California) and it leveled it a little but not all the way. When putting a coil lift on... -
Water Pump Weeping
Thanks, BeemerNut. Your reply was very helpful. It turned out that I had a bad reservoir and it was leaking. I hadn't been on this site in a while because of a "know it all" with very poor trouble shooting skills and abrasive demeanor... I still like to hear about what others have... -
In need of help I'm locked out
Sorry for the partial double post. The whole reply didn't make it... Bj I am curious as to how the starter motor will open your doors. I didn't know the starter bone was connected to the door lock bone...Sorry for the humor...I have had this issue also. In my instances, the door lock... -
In need of help I'm locked out
Have you looked for a good locksmith? They should be able to get you in the vehicle with ease. As a side note, I have also had the opposite happen, (usually with the back door and the driver’s door) where the locks would seem engaged but they actually were not mechanically locked. i.e. I lock... -
In need of help I'm locked out
My personal experience with the locking mechanisms on 1997 and 2004 Discovery's is that it has always been tied to the alarm system. Are you saying that you cannot manually open the vehicle with the key (not alarm fob)? If so, and none of the keys work on any of the door locks. Look for the... -
Land Rover LSE 1997 or 1998
Thanks Don, I suspected as much with the model year issue. Land Rover Scottsdale was not very helpful with historical information either. I think a good slogan or mantra to keep in mind is that "Some know alot about a little bit and some know a little bit about alot, but no one knows... -

95 Disco I ABS light
Thanks Mike P. I read somewhere that there may be a sensor sticking. I haven't taken the wheels off yet but, by description, it sounds like it is some type of plunger that moves like the caliper piston. I need to replace the pads so I will probably find out more, this weekend. I will... -
Water Pump Weeping
@Dave Carr...I have no evidence that the water pump is leaking and see zero leakage on or around the pump. I did see a bit of antifreeze on the fan shroud but it appears that that may have been from a failing hose. Replaced that and there are no leaks or drips. I also replaced the expansion... -

Water Pump Weeping
@Disco Mike, et al, If your 30 years of servicing customers was anything like your behavior here, I am surprised you allegedly made it that long. I don’t believe anyone cares how long you were a service manager if you insult and berate them. You seem to like to insult others as opposed... -
Water Pump Weeping
@Disco Mike…et al, While I appreciate yours and everyone else's advice and opinions, please do not ever presume to know what I or others are willing to do or what our realizations are. Other than this forum, I do not know you or what your level of knowledge is, nor you, mine. Therefore... -
Water Pump Weeping
There is no evidence that the pump is faulty or leaking. I was posing a question and Eike had a good suggestion, for the trouble shooting process. I personally like troubleshooting as it lends to the learning process. While I am slowly trying to replace wear items, bad or not and as I have... -
Water Pump Weeping
Thanks Eike, Where would they rent one? Autozone, O'Reilly's, Pep Boys? I have driven it for the last two days, on the freeway in Phoenix, for about 30 minutes or so each time and it seems to be holding pressure and fluid. Bj -
Maybe starter problems
If you haven't fixed this yet, is your starter turning? I had a similar problem and the starter motor had a cracked tab, where you bolt it on, and it was not engaging. BPUTAH.com or BritishPacific.com have been my sources for parts. Bj -
95 Disco I ABS light
Did you ever get a resolution to this? I posted a similar query, today, for my 1997 Discovery. Thanks. Bj -
Anti Lock Brakes
My 1997 LR Discovery has anti-lock brakes. I replaced the pads and find a pair of wires coming out of the pads with a connector on the other end. I don’t find anywhere to connect the connector. The anti-lock seems to be working fine. Any ideas what the connector is for? Also, my anti-lock... -
Leaning Discovery
My Land Rover seems to have a bit of a front right corner lean. It was like that when I got it and my brother was the first owner. He says it has never been hit and there are no dents or damage (repaired or otherwise) to the body. I put on a 2” Terra Firma lift on it and some of the sag went... -
coolant for Disco 1
Mike P. I have been reading about the Water Wetter and the Royal Purple Ice also. Curious as to why you would want to add the additive. My understanding is that the normal glycol based antifreeze, in a 50/50 mix, is good to 0 degrees, and that the additives help below that...(Kind of... -
Land Rover LSE 1997 or 1998
Thanks Mike but your response does not address my question. Why is the LSE designated a 1998 model year when the title indicates that it is a 1997 model year. I completely understand about production and assembly time frames. i.e. I have seen, say 2012 model year vehicles built and sold in... -
coolant for Disco 1
Mike, I haven’t heard anything about coolant types other than what is in the manual or on the stickers under the hood say and that is to you Land Rover products. I have been using the Prestone 50/50 for about 2.5 years and have not had any problems. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and it gets... -
Radio repair?
Mike, Glad it works. I am copying and printing that solution to keep in my vehicle. I have had the problem at least twice and forgot the process each time. The second time, I just let the vehicle sit overnight and was able to reset it the next day. I really think there is some type of... -
Land Rover LSE 1997 or 1998
Hello, This is more of a historical question than technical. I have a 1997 Land Rover LSE. The documentation seems to indicate that the LR was manufactured in November of 1997. The title also dates it as a 1997 model. All of the literature and parts info seem to indicate that the LSE... -
Water Pump Weeping
I have a 1997 LR Discovery LSE. I am wondering if it is normal for the water pump to weep coolant, over time, through the weep hole. I never see any leakage on the ground but I did see some clean coolant on the inside of the fan shroud when I took the top shroud cover off. I was having a... -
1997 LR LSE Overheating
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and advice. As I started the trouble shooting process with all of your guidance in mind, I started with the most elementary. The coolant was low. I topped it off and no more overheating. I have another query but I will post that on a new thread...
