    04 Disco rocking drivers seat

    I've got the same issue. There are two motors mounted below the seat. There are small metal tabs (1 1/2") on the end of the motor toward the back of the seat that come up through the seat frame to hold them in place. This prevents them from moving back and forth (or allowing the seat to rock)...

    Timing cover and head gasket job

    No problems with the engine, I've always run fully synthetic, and I also run premium fuel (another topic i see) but I've had a persistant coolant leak for some time. Glad to hear it would cost more to install a new engine. Hoping this makes it another 140K. Super88: thanks for the offer. She's...

    Timing cover and head gasket job

    I know, ($1600 in labor), and I wish I had the time and know-how, but I don't, and I know that I know enough to get myself in some trouble. This job is just not for me. Oh well, but back to my original question...

    Timing cover and head gasket job

    So I blew my timing cover gasket and both head gaskets are also leaking. I also have a leaky radiator (surprise face). My indi shop quoted me $3200 for the repairs which include new gaskets, machining the heads, new radiator, oil pan gasket, and a new o2 sensor. I've got 135k on the engine. I...

    Radio Install

    I ended up using the file hangers once I saw the replacement radio and realized the hangers only need be inserted straight in and it will depress the retention tabs. It worked great, though it took a bit of pulling to break the seal on the rear "rubber nubber" holding the radio in place. If...

    Radio Install

    I found an OEM replacement radio for mine that had gone out. The guy is also selling the CD changer with it. My Disco didn't come with the CD changer originally but does have the mounting bracket below the seat, so my question is: Is the existing wiring below the passenger's seat going to...

    windsheild wiper delay

    Same problem here. I talked to my LR guy and he said that most of the time simply taking apart the interior wiper arm and regreasing the contacts in the switch will fix it. Has anyone done this that can help walk me through it? I promised myself I'd fix this before another winter of...

    heater blowing hot & cold?

    I'm having this same problem and my coolent level is also fine. I'm hoping it's not the heater core going bad, and nothing is leaking...yet. Does anyone have any ideas to help troubleshoot this one? Thanks

    Radio Problems

    Thanks for the tips. I've tried taking it out with the modified file hanger technique but I can't seem to figure out how to pull that thing out. I'm ASSuming I have to release a couple tabs by inserting them through the flat slots (ha...I said flat slot) on the front face but I can't seem to get...

    Radio Problems

    On our last camping trip my son managed to cram $1.81 in change into the factory tapedeck. :applause: I don't know if it's coincidence or not but now the display on my radio has every character lit up so you can't see the tuner numbers and the radio is now intermitant. I got all the coins out...

    POS Factory Brush Bar

    Thank you all for telling me what I needed to hear. I'll save up for a decent one and not try to 'polish this turd'.

    POS Factory Brush Bar

    So mine is all torn up and lightly rusting. I've found a shop that will sand blast it for me for cheap. Here's my quandry...I'm thinking about using a buddy of mine to "Rhino Line" the brush bar after it's been sand blasted; has anyone ever done this? Did it actually apply OK or look like crap...

    Window Issue

    Ok, so I've determined I need to take the whole regulator out to reweld this piece. Can anyone tell me if this is an easy thing to do? I've got the door panel off and I can see the five or so screws holding everything in but I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Also, should I just...

    Window Issue

    So my front passenger window went down...and then decided to not come up again. After taking the door panel off I found that the the 1/4" piece of steel with the gear teeth broke all three spot welds from the control arm that raises and lowers the window. Has anyone had this happen? Must have...
