Hey all,
I just got a 96 disco 1 for a daily driver, so I happened upon the forum here as I was doing some research on what to expect as far as problems, mods, etc. I got this pretty cheap, as you may have already guessed, blown head gasket. Otherwise, the body and paint are in great shape, interior is not bad at all, has 137K on the dial, and it seems just a few things here and there, and I should be up and running in no time. When started it, it sounded like a loud puttering, like an exhaust leak. I have already ordered the gasket and head bolt set from british atlantic, so just waiting on those to show up so I can get to work. Any advice on other things to check is welcome, as I am new to the rover crowd.
