    where to find wiring parts???

    The drivers side front clearance light needs a new pigtail. I also need one in the drivers side headlight, the pigtail that holds the "small bulb". I checked with Nathan at discount british and he says for some strange reason the price for these is astronomically high, like in the $60 to $70...

    hard clunk when shifting into reverse

    Like the title of the thread says, I'm am getting a solid clunk noise (one I can feel through the vehicle) when I shift the automatic into reverse. It usually doesn't do this when shifting from park to reverse, but it does do it when shifting from drive to reverse. Is this a cause for worry or...

    headlight washers

    I'm not getting any fluid to my headlight washers. Could this simply be a pump issue, or could there be something else causing the problem? All the lines are connected.

    Need some parts

    Discount British Parts isn't returning my email requests for some parts I'm looking for. I need to find some other suppliers to help me out. I am in need of some studs and nuts that connect the y-pipe to my exhaust manifolds on my 96' Disco with the 4.0L engine. Who else is out there that can...

    Clunking sound now fixed

    I had a mystery clunk sound that happened whenever I hit a bump or turned to the left, but not always to the right. It was getting progressively worse. I finally had enough and discovered that it was the bolt that connects the sway bar to the sway bar link. The bolt was becoming rounded out...

    interior trim question

    Yes......I know it's lame to be asking questions about trim and stuff but this one has been bugging me for awhile and I would like to get it fixed. When I bought the vehicle, the control panels for the drivers and passenger power seats where hanging out of the consul box by just the wires...

    Leaking coolant

    After I bought the Disco last summer, I saw a few drips of coolant hanging off of the suspension and steering linkages. I never saw any puddles on the ground however. I took a look around and couldn't find the source of the leak. The resevior always had fluid in it when I checked it. So I...

    Radio glitch

    In just the last few weeks, my radio (stock) has done a weird thing. Occasionally, it will turn itself off, just for a few seconds, and then it will come back on. I only notice this happening after being in the vehicle and driving for awhile. It does it usually once during a longer trip. My...

    Driveshaft seal?

    I got a new rotoflex from discountbritish. It came with some sort of a seal that goes inside of the rear of the rear driveshaft. The problem is that I can't figure how to get the old one out.

    lockers?

    Anyone here running a true locker in the rear? How about the front? (Yes, I know, off road use only in a straight line) Did the factory offer locking diffs at any time, other than the center diff? What about the aftermarket? Which company offers them? I would guess that ARB would have...

    Having problems starting after short drives

    I have this problem when the engine is cold. She starts up just fine initially, but if I only drive 2 or 3 blocks (not long enough to warm the engine up) and shut it off, when I go to restart a minute or two later, she won't. I have to depress the accelorator to the floor and hold it there and...

    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

    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.

    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?

    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...

    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

    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!!!!

    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...
