I just noticed that the passenger side swivel ball is starting to leak bad enough to drip, so... I guess I have that project to look forward to. Are there any good online resources on rebuilding? It might be time to invest in the shop manuals.. Does it require any special tools? Is the best bet...

I have a leak somewhere on the passenger side rear end. I've assumed it was the rear caliper because the caliper is really wet. But, I've replaced the rear caliper twice and it's still leaking. I'm now skeptical it's the caliper. The symptom is that the inner brake pad is very wet. The caliper...

'97 Disco 1 I was trying to replace the front oxygen sensors this weekend and came the conclusion that disconnecting them is darn near impossible. Any great ideas? I can reach my hand to the top of the transmission and feel the connector, but I can't seem to get the plug to release from the...

Has anyone sealed the sunroofs on a disco 1? What's a ball park to have sheet metal welded in for the roofs? I'd have to figure out the interior trim, then as well. I need to redo the headliner, so I would have to figure out how to cover over the sunroof holes in the headliner. As far as...

I recently replaced the rear calipers/pads on my D1 (several hundred miles ago).... I just noticed fluid on the inside of the rear tires, so I took the wheels off to see what was up. I went in assuming that it wasn't brake fluid, but now I'm not so sure. The fluid seems to mainly on the...

This has happened about 3 times to me.... so, it's probably time to do something... The ignition switch will not turn, I jiggle it, pull it in or out very slightly, etc, eventually I can get it to work and then it is fine, of course until the next time. It feels like the steering lock is...

I'm starting to get a code that the catalytic converter is going bad (I forget the number)... anyway, after 150k miles, I guess it's time to replace them... Where are some places to get the whole Y-pipe, etc. I'm also considering having just the cat's replaced with aftermarket. Any good...

I have a problem with my front tire rubbing on the radius arm (back of right side) on hard right turns. It turns that the steering stop bolt on the left side is bent. I tried to get a replacement, but the thread seems to be really odd... Is that the case? Does is have a weird thread size (like...

I just picked up a '97 Disco (147k miles). It has a bunch of little problems that I'm going to start working through, like window washers don't work, one of the window regulators is going out, I already fixed the rear door rattle, etc. I did a search and didn't find anything on the sunroof...

I'm having a problem with my Disco 1. At certain points, it will not idle. If it doesn't stall, I can see the rpm step up as the IAC compensates, but sometimes, I just have to drive 2-footed to keep the truck from stalling. This seems to happen at certain points. If it the outside temp is about...

I've started getting a drip from where the hard transmission line connects to the flexible line. (basically, right next to the powersteering). You can see a single drip on the hose. Is there a fix other than replacing the transmission lines?

What a way to start the day... I was on my way to church this morning and a guy in a Dodge Ram rear ended by '98 D1. Unfortuneately, my girls were in the rear jump seats and they hit their heads on the rear glass, but they are fine. The Disco faired pretty good, the rear bumper is bent slightly...

How tough is it to replace the rear door windows? Some punk shot mine out with a BB gun last night....

I'm having a little problem with my Disco.... If the temperature outside isn't warm (say 70s), my Disco goes through a transition on it's way to being warm where it doesn't idle well. When it's cold, it has a rock solid idle, turning the A/C on and off has little effect, and the idle recovers...

My '98 Disco just started doing this... After initial warm up is over, but before the car is completely warmed up, the idle speed drops really low and sometimes it stalls.... It starts great, never stumbles and after a few miles, it has a rock solid idle. I can turn the AC on and off and the...

where is the factory lug wrench stored on a disco 1? I know where the jack handle is and the jack... but I can't find the lug wrench...

I just started having an ABS problem... does anyone have a good troubleshooting guide? the way it manifested this morning was that I was slowing down for a u-turn under the highway, as I started to turn, I could feel the ABS pump pulse and then the ABS light came on and the brakes worked as...

Well in my continueing quest to trouble shoot my code that the truck is throwing, I cleaned up the IAC (stepper motor), and now I have a high and erratic idle. I think the carbon buildup in there was helping it seal. Anyway, is there any manual idle speed adjustment that I need to mess with...

My check engine light is on, when I checked the codes last, it had two codes that referred to the Air/Fuel Ratio. That seems like it's probably the oxygen sensors. Does anyone have a technique for testing the O2 sensors? I would like to test them before I jump and replace all 4 of them.... (98...
