    Won't turn fully right at slow speeds

    So this is a new and odd one for me. All of the sudden if I am at a very slow speed, like when parking, or stopped, the steering when turning right locks up half way. It turns left fine, it's not hitting anything as far as I can tell, the power steering pump whines a bit like it's at full lock...

    '96 Discovery, no start, no power to the fuel pump, not the relay or inertia switch

    '96 Discovery I know there have been some other posters with similar problems. I'm in a pretty big bind being away from home, and thought if I could get any extra help, it would be very appreciated. I'm working down in Albuquerque. The other day drove to work just fine, and when I went to go...

    Transmission Replacement trouble

    I'm throwing a rebuilt transmission in my '96 Discovery and having a slight problem. I got the transfer case splines to line up, and slide most of the way on, but when I get down to about 3/4 of an inch to mate up the surfaces, I can't for the life of me get the transfer case to go on any more...

    No Power to the Fuel Pump

    '96 Discovery, Died on me the other night. I have no power to the fuel pump. I've checked the fuse, which is good. I'm guessing the problem is either a relay or a short in the wiring. Can anyone tell me where the relay is? Is there anything else I should check? Thanks, Ryan

    Broken Down Again

    Broke down on the way to work last night. Pulled up to a gas station, still had about 1/2 a tank, but as I pulled up to the pump it died, which was very weird. I fuelled it up, and it wouldn't start again. The fuel tank registers empty, even though it's full, which leads me to beleive it may...

    Now I've done it.

    As if the Disco's weren't challanging enough, I decided I needed a new project. I'm the proud new owner of a 1964 mark 1 mini cooper. It needs a lot of work, but the body is remarkable rust free, and I'm friends with the guy who imported it. I haven't gotten down to LA to pick it up yet, but am...

    P1179 again

    So last March I was getting code P1179, Replaced the O2 sensors, and the cats, they were rattling, and it went away. Now I'm getting the code again. After reading some threads I tried replacing the Mass Air Flow Sensor and the air filter, but that didn't fix it. Any other ideas? If it is an O2...

    Wheelin in the sand

    Hey guys, Looks like I'm heading to the Dunes next weekend with the '96 discovery. Haven't been wheelin in the sand since my stock jeep wrangler. Did fine then, but it was lightweight, good stance, and tons of torque. I'm just wondering what I can expect of the Discovery. How do they fare in...

    Cargo Area Carpet Replacement

    I haul a lot of equipment in the disco. The rear carpet was getting pretty bad. I wanted one of those rubber matts to fit back there, but they only cover up to the seats, when the seats are down. Since I usually have the seats tucked up to get in more gear, this would only cover half the floor...

    Bad Radiator Cap

    Went to flush my radiator tonight, and as I went to remove the radiator cap/plug, the head snapped right off, with very little pressure. I've ordered a new brass plug from EE, but that won't be here for a few days, and I kind of need my Disco this weekend. Of corse the dealerships part dept...

    Stolen Rover in Utah

    What mileage is too high for a diesel?

    Well, the time has come. Buisness is doing too well, and it's time to trade the rover in for a truck. I have some pretty big trailers, and am looking for a diesel dually. The only problem is the ones I've found in my price range have 150,000 + miles on them. If I can sell the rover soon, I can...

    Broken down on my birthday

    I was comming home from work down Provo Canyon last night at about 6:30 in the '96 disco. Things were good, and had over a half a tank of gas, when suddenly the engine lost power and died. I managed to get it off the road and to a stop. I tried starting it a couple of times when I noticed the...
