    abs fuse?

    That's the one that I pulled in my Disco I and it stopped the ABS from activating at inappropriate times. I also removed the two screws securing my dash gauge cluster to the dash and removed the ABS bulb so it's not always lit annoying me. Haven't regretted it for one second. Just drive...

    Disco I Alignment Issue

    1996 LR Discovery SE7, 4.0 V8 @ 129000 Miles I'm getting ready to put OME Shocks & Coils on, along with new tires but I'd like to get an alignment first. I have one issue (at least I think it's an issue) that I'd like input on first. My Driver Side Front tire has significant uneven wear on...

    1994 discovery battery is overheating(cooking)

    I don't presume to know more than Joey considering his experience and history but I'd check elsewhere before purchasing a new alternator. Also, you should be able to find a parts shop that will test your current alternator. When you mention that the fuse melted I assume that the fusable link...

    strange things

    I know this may seem obvious or not applicable but as far as the high idle is concerned have you checked the throttle tension? The only disco's I'm familiar with are the 96's because I own one but on mine there's an adjustment nut at the end of the throttle cable under the hood right where...

    Coolant Vapor in Passenger Compartment

    Joey, Where's the heater core located on a 96' LR Discovery SE7, 4.0 V8, Auto? I'd assume it's under the dash somewhere but I don't have a manual handy. How much of a pain is it to replace one usually? Any tips, other needed parts, etc? Looks like I'm looking at around $150 for a new...

    Coolant Vapor in Passenger Compartment

    I have a 96' Discovery SE7 4.0 V8 that for the past couple weeks has had a smell of coolant in the passenger compartment. It's gotten progressively worse to the point that now with near 0f temperatures outside my windows instantly fog up with a layer of coolant condensate and I have to keep...

    How to wire up additional / auxilliary lights

    I think I thought of an alternative to installing a switch / wire to the driver compartment of my 1996 D1 aux / offroad lights. My D1 had the factory fog lights, which you can turn on and that automatically switch off with high-beams. After trimming the valence off my front bumper I'm going to...

    Dead Discovery

    The only thing that's not working now is the fuel level sender. I'll have to research that and check the wiring from the sender forward. Any areas in particular stick out in your mind that I should check for wetness / connection issue? DigitalNY

    Dead Discovery

    Hrmm... Methinks the discovery just didn't like being wet because it's been a day and a half and suddenly it starts this afternoon!?! One of the things that I had tried this morning was the EKA Code Procedure just in case the alarm was in some quasi-armed stated. Now my alarm works, which it...

    Dead Discovery

    Joey, I've popped the cover off what I believe to be the alarm ECU. (Green plastic module at passengers footwell) and it looks intact, no burnt electronics or cold solder joints or anything visible. Without the pinouts for the IC's I can't really test components in-circuit and it looks like a...

    Dead Discovery

    Completely unprepared it seems I went back to the discovery to check the fuel pump. No sound from the pump. The fuel sender wasn't registering fuel level either. After playing with the 6 pin to 4 pin cable that runs from the top of the fuel tank to the connector on the frame above the drivers...

    Dead Discovery

    Has anyone else ever had what appears to be alarm ecu issues in a system with a bad fuel pump? The vehicle as far as running condition was fine prior to this. Granted, it was a bit annoying when my hazard flashers would spontaneously come on when I parked but at least it ran. I've...

    Dead Discovery

    With muddy hands I type... I just got back home from twelve hours of adventure that was both fun and frustrating. Some friends of mine and myself went out offroading today in the mud.. It was raining.. This would have been an alright idea if I hadn't been driving a completely factory 96 disco...

    1996 Disco1 SE7 ABS & Oxygen Sensor Questions

    Okay, So the Antilock light isn't going to be an issue at inspection time. I just spoke with a friend of mine's father who runs a repair shop / inspection station and according to him it's right in the current NYS manual not to fail a LR Discovery for the AntiLock light unless there's also an...

    1996 Disco1 SE7 ABS & Oxygen Sensor Questions

    The issue that I think I'm going to have is that in New York the mechanic is supposed to start the vehicle and if any safety related lights are on after 15 seconds the inspection is failed. I need to find a way of getting it there when it isn't doing it. I just drove it across town and...

    1996 Disco1 SE7 ABS & Oxygen Sensor Questions

    Joey, I completely agree on the ABS. If it weren't for the fact that I need a New York State Inspection I'd just wait til I replace the rotors and pads to see if it goes away. This morning on the way to work it didn't light at all. I'll have to make sure it's not showing anything amiss as...

    1996 Disco1 SE7 ABS & Oxygen Sensor Questions

    Recently purchased a 1996 Disco1 4.0 V8 and am having a few minor (or at least I hope) issues. The first of which is that the Check Engine light is on and is throwing P0138 which is one of the post-catalytic oxygen sensors. Is there a cheaper alternative than the $160+ oxygen sensors that...
