'03 SE That Could (Update - Coolant, Misfire)
Take a deep breath. A blown head gasket but no coolant issue? Can you have your mechanic perform a leak-down test and find which cylinder(s) can't hold pressure? How was a blown head gasket determined to be the problem? Your overheating issue could be as simple as having a defective... -

Here I go,,,won't start.
If you live in the Great White North, I think it is highly likely your fuel line is frozen. -

Discovery Apocalypse
By the way, a less messy way is with the chemical handwarmer packs. Downside? They are more expensive. The potatoes have an additional upside...if you don't mind the taste, you can still eat them when you're done. -

Discovery Apocalypse
You sure it just isn't your fuel line frozen? It may solve itself when the temps are above freezing for a bit or you can try to heat it up yourself. It may sound silly but one way to do this is with potatoes. Get a bunch and microwave them until they are nearly molten. Run out to your... -

front end "clunk"
you could always remove the shock temporarily to see if the clunk goes away. Shock bushings can wear and make a clunking noise. -

2000 D2 transmission Problems
How about a complete filter/fluid change? Admittedly, not the most pleasant task, but it might fix the problem. Check the linkage too...without the engine running you can be under the truck and have someone slowly shift through the gears so you can watch the linkage and make sure nothing is... -

Getting ready to leave the LR family (blasphemy)
Disaster averted Well Joey, even though I was offered what I consider a very good deal on a 07 Chevy, I just can't bring myself to trade the Rover. (I must be barking mad.) Frankly, with the economy on the verge of tanking, I'm afraid to take on any debt. So, I'm counting on this August... -

Worried 2000 DII
Have you changed the oil since you put in the ATF and ran Seafoam through? If you haven't, I would change out your oil and filter and see if your problem goes away. -

put in new u joints,snaped one in 5 min of dtiving ! help
That has to make you feel a little exasperated....I sincerely hope it didn't grenade anything else. There isn't much that can be done wrong. That said, the installer just has to make sure the caps are seated correctly and the u-bolts are cinched down correctly. Did the mechanic pump... -

Getting ready to leave the LR family (blasphemy)
Looking at a couple of different vehicles: 08 Dodge 1500 Maxicab with 5.7 Hemi. It is huge:) 08 Silverado 1500 with 5.3. Not as big as the Dodge and gets better MPG. Anyone have any experience with either? -

Getting ready to leave the LR family (blasphemy)
With mixed feelings, I've began the search to replace my 1999 D2. Ownership has been unlike any other vehicle I've ever owned. The closest thing I can think of in comparison is being with a beautiful, wild, crazy girl. She may be irritating, to the point you want to gouge out your own... -

Squeaking heater???
Sounds as though one of the heater motors is wearing out or lost lubrication. I've had the exact same issue with a different vehicle....it would make a whine when first turned on or when I made a left turn. In my case, I pulled the motor (which had an exposed tail-shaft) and poured a small... -

Ticking and Misfire Cylinder 1
I would be very surprised if it was the coil pack. They tend to be reliable. Your sparkplug cable could be an issue---try swapping it with one on a different cylinder and see if the problem moves. If you were low on oil pressure, I would think your problem would be most noticeable around... -

Ticking and Misfire Cylinder 1
If it were me, I would put a new plug in cylinder 1 and check the plug-cable to make sure it hasn't burned up. If that doesn't fix it: I had a ticking sound/loss of power on my 1999 D2 that really worried me. Figuring it was a serious, I was just getting ready to pull the heads but decided... -

Really really slow at first???
Always go with the simple, cheap stuff first. To make the engine run you need 3 things....fuel, air, and spark (small explosion) If an engine bogs when you step on the gas, the first thing to check is the lack of fuel. Change the filter. If that doesn't help, ask the mechanic to check... -

2003 Disco SE7 odd idle, have engine codes
The Family Handyman, April 2007 Recommendation is to use "CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner" on the MAF everytime the air filter is changed. By their testing, it seems to be the only thing that worked...available at CarQuest, Advance, and O'Reilly auto part warehouses for about $7... -

Plugs
My 1999 D2 came from the factory with Champion Platinum plugs (single electrode). They were in the engine for about 70,000 miles. I replaced them with Bosch Platinums that have been working fine. The original plug wires didn't last long---I've wondered if others experienced the same problem. -

Flashing (blinking) Odometer
Widen the clamp slot. Take the bolt out of the clamp and use a rough file in the slot to remove a bit of material.
