    1999 D1 ignition lock rebuild

    I'll hit a local locksmith. I have way too many keys right now (I have some rental property). I really do not want a second key. If I need a lock assembly, I will keep you in mind. Thanks.

    Ignition Key won't turn

    All, I've searched; but, any serach related to keys and ignition seems to return the stuck key issue. I went out to the Disco this morning and the ignition key would not turn. I was hoping someone would be able to give me a starting point for diagnosis. I checked that the truck was in park...

    Props for PTSchram

    While I am comfortable on working on my own vehicles, PT has sent a few pearls of Disco wisdom my way. Sometimes, I did not even have to ask, I just had to searched his post in a thread with a similar problem to mine.

    1991 D1 Tranny cooler - has anyone used an aftermarket tranny cooler

    Crown, sent you a PM. I thought that stock coolers would still be expensive used. I wish I knew you guys were selling them for scrap. If I can source a good used one cheap, I will replace with OEM. They are $300 new. :eek: Brian

    1991 D1 Tranny cooler - has anyone used an aftermarket tranny cooler

    Hello, I have a 1999 D1 that has a pin hole in the tranny cooler. I have hit it with PB Blaster for 2 days and it seems that the fittings are frozen on. Rather than spend my weekend trying not to destroy the cooler while removing the lines, I am considering using an aftermarket cooler. I have...

    This falls under section 179 in the tax law. The basics are a vehicle over 6,000lbs will qualify for a tax benefit. Essentially, you expense the first $25,000 and depreciate the rest over 5 years. Basically if your LR4 costs $55,000 you would expense $25,000 the first year and depreciate the...

    Considering a LR4 to replace my 99 D1

    Thanks for the feedback. I work on everything I own, if a man made it, I can usually fix it. Even the D1 has a few electronics that can leave you dead on the road. I know that the LR4 has many times the number of electrionics; but, technology has come a long way in 12 years. The truck will...

    Chopping Questions...

    From drag race car experience, a full 10 point cage (not just a roll bar) can cost over $1000 in chrome moly. A mild steel cage will be just a little cheaper. You will need to use 1 3/4 or 1 5/8 tubing. Since most places will not be familiar with the Disco, you many be looking at even more...

    Anyone using Creader to pull OBD codes?

    Thanks for the replies. I ended up getting an Innova 3100. I chose this one because it would work on both the Disco and my Volvo. I tried it out and I am happy with it.

    P0138 Code - Oxygen sesor

    Andrew, you have a good point. I did take a look around before I borrowed the code reader. I started with the simple and tried to see if I saw anything. I think that the truck does not like to sit for a week or 10 days at a time. Once I start to drive the truck for a few days, the code goes...
