    Discovery Apocalypse

    The truth is I don't know. I drove it for around 15 miles and the throttle was open than I let it sit for a while and when I restarted the baby and it was back to loveing. I also think it could have something to do with the sending unit in the gas tank, but just speculating.

    I just had a simular situation, and it was frozen fuel. New/Strong battery is a must in our climate (Minnesota). By the way does anyone know which OPtima battery fits Discovery 1

    Discovery Apocalypse

    Thanks Guys :biggrin: Problem solved, after it sat for a while it started right up and resumed correct idle. What a life saver. Big lesson learned the fuel will freeze up if low in tank, not worth the trouble. Thanks 99D2 it was frozen fuel and Joey I think you were correct on the later...

    Discovery Apocalypse

    I got it to start It does start now, yes the fuel was frozen somewhere in the line. It does not start easily (starter engaged for at least 7 seconds before engine fully engages and revs to the redline) sounds like not all the cylinders have combustion. I quickly put it in drive and drove it for...

    As usual thanks for your response joey. How can we absolutely narrow it down to the fuel pump? Isn’t it located in the gas tank? Thanks for your help.

    Discovery Apocalypse

    :ahhhhh: One of the biggest bonehead moves of my life: I drove home last week and the Disco was working great as usual. I felt tired and not in one of my best moods so when low fuel light came on; I decided to think using my behind instead of my brain. To make the story short, I started...

    One Speaker not working

    You could take out one of the speakers that work and exchange it in order to test it. I also had one that was out. I exchanged them both but I still have one spare. If you need one let me know.

    Recommended ATF Oils.

    I read great things about all of their products. I am also going to switch over to AMSOIL ATF. Will you use their regular ATF or Torque-Drive ATF what are your thoughts? or yours Chongo? Would you consider writing an article on full transmission service w/pictures? I think it would be useful...

    Oil additives

    Once again thanks for your help. How do you suppose I should diagnose the clunk when slowing down to a stop? It does not during acceleration. Thanks

    Oil additives

    Thanks for the ed. What are your thoughts on transmission? I have a 95 Disco1 w/150K I hear a loud clank when the transmission downshifts to 1st gear (when approaching red light) I wanted to flush the old fluid and replace with AMSOIL. After reading some boards stating that the new highly...

    Seafoam back again.

    Thanks for the pic. I did see this one before but my engine (3.9) is slightly different. I used Seafoam deep creep and although my engine did not smoke as much as others I read about, it sure feels stronger. Thanks, Alex

    After market stereo

    It depends on your system (stock speakers or not). If just changing the headunit, the easiest thing would be to get a wire harness for LR of that year. You can get them many places like crutchfield.com.

    Seafoam back again.

    Sorry to bring it back up. I read through the posts but the pictures are not there for the D1. Is the vacuum line going from the passenger side valve cover (PCV valve) the right hose to put the seafoam into? Also I located one hose on the intake manifold will this one work. Which one is better...
