    97 D1, runs rough, gas smell, smoking exhaust.

    Been about a week now since my D1 starting to run rough on me, it sounded like one or more cylinders were not firing. It does so intermittently. One trip to work it may run fine, another it will run rough and smell of gas, sometimes my CE light will come on and off aswell when it really starts...

    Random Stalling...

    97 D1, 285,000 km. plugs, wires, battery, cats, air and fuel filters all changed within last 3000 km. The truck stalled on me (in the middle of an intersection while turning through oncoming traffic no less) last night on my way home from work. It did it again on the way to work this morning...

    Oil Leak Between Engine and Transmission

    I've had my 97 DI (283,000 KM on the clock) since last summer, and aside from a very tiny bit of oil seepage around the valve covers (oil level has never gone down) I have never had even a drop of oil under the truck. After doing some offroading over a week ago, a puddle was found under the...

    Discovery XD Spotted in Cornwall, ON...

    I was leaving work today and saw an XD on it's way out of the parking lot. I got stuck at the light and wasn't able to hunt him down after. This is the first one I've ever seen in person so you can imagine my surprise (only 2 D1's in my city). Was curious if it might have been someone from Dweb...

    Clicking Front End

    97 D1 Loud Clicking sound coming from, as near as I can tell, the front driver wheel. I was thinking wheel bearing or CV...however the clicking stops completely when the brakes are applied...even just slightly. I'm curious if that could mean something else was causing the noise? I've done a...

    100/55 Watt Headlight Bulbs...

    I would like to try a pair of Hella 100/55 watt bulbs in my D1 headlamps and I wanted to know if anyone else has used them and what their experience was? The RoversNorth site is telling me I need to use additional relays with these bulbs. While I'm not unfamiliar with wiring lights/relays and...

    Brake Peddle Not Returning...

    My brake lights are stuck on and I can shift the truck out of park with the ignition on without pressing the brake peddle. This led me to believe my brake switch had given up the ghost or needed to be re-adjusted. I've gone through the procedure several times already and from what I can tell...

    D1 Smoking after Muffler Change...

    97 D1 w/ 280,000 km :eek: Title says it all. I refuse to believe putting on a muffler is what is causing the problem. I also don't want to believe my engine has suddenly given up the ghost...let me explain... I got the truck in June and it survived the 255 km ride home without incident. It...

    Stereo Install Questions

    I, unlike someone around here, was not too lazy to do a search to try and figure out how to install an aftermarket stereo into my 97 Disco. I've already PM'd another member asking for help on the install and everything he said made sense until I took out the factory deck and had no clue what I...

    Exhaust/Muffler Options

    Before everyone jumps in here and starts flaming me for kicking a dead horse, I've used the search function and found alot of discussion about exhaust systems but it's only answered some of my questions. Making my truck sound nicer (and yes, louder) is only one motivation behind this...I have a...

    Parking Brake Handle Not Engaging...

    During re-assembly of my centre console (I'm happy to report I got my CDL Linkage free'd up and working great) I've discovered something has happened to my parking brake handle. It only grabs the first tooth and then not at all as you pull the handle up higher...there isn't any tension on the...

    Brakes Failed - Reasons Unknown

    I've been searching around on here and elsewhere to sort out what has happened to my brakes, but I'm not coming up with any solutions. I got the truck (97 Disco) a few weeks ago and we drove it home approx 250 km without issue. The brakes were a bit spongy, but nothing dangerous or out worthy...

    Transfer Case Shifter Issue...

    Following some excellent advice/instructions I've found on here and the RoversNorth forums I am in the process of trying to get my transfer case linkage out so I can figure out why I can't move the shifter over to lock my center diff. My problem is getting the 3rd Clevis pin out (the one on the...

    DI Lift/Tyre Questions

    While I may not be new to the whole Land Rover thing (my uncle has a 61 SII 88" and my mom has a 53 SI 80") I'm about to get my own Rover, a 1997 Discovery. I have a few questions for you purveyors of modern technology as I've been offroading in the dark ages for over a decade. I've already...
