Okay... here are the issues I have:
Brakes: a year ago, I decided to replace the rear pads and rotors on my Disco. I was able to get the passenger side done, but nearly rounded off the caliper bolt on the driver's side. A month ago, after dealing with loud brakes, every light associated with the brakes came on (Brake, TC, the downhill one, ABS and I even get an intermitten SRS light). So I decided to chance rounding it off the rest of the way and attempt to change them. Using a wrench and hammer, I got it loose and changed the pads and rotor but the lights have not gone off (and I've noticed the ABS does not work). I live on a big hill, so I know the E-Brake works.
Hesitation/Missfire: Over the past two years, I have had the Disco in the shop 3 times for missfires. First time it was a coil. Second time it was plugs. Third time it was the CAT. After picking it up the third time (LR Nashville had it for a month) it still missifres when I start it after it has sat for more than 24 hours. It has 1 y/o 7mm Magnacores, a brand new battery, and at least 4 of the plugs have been replaced (I'd have to pull them all to check which ones the dealer replaced).
Radio: No matter how loud I turn it up, I can't hear any more than faint noise.
Front Passenger Window: Will only move slightly (on one side) and if you press in the opposite direction, returns to the original spot.
Where do I begin?
My thoughts are: Switch to Bosch Plugs, Sea Foam (if fouling is the issue), and from there I am lost.
It has 78449 miles on it.
I can get the codes, although I'm sure there are many and I may have to have them cleared, drive it for a bit, and have them read again.
