    1996 SD with 156K miles. Had the oil light stay on after starting the engine this afternoon-about 40F outside and car was sitting for 5+hours.

    p0125 & PROM

    I've done an extensive search related to the p0125 code and the '96 disco but all the threads are a couple or years old. The check engine light on my '96 SD comes on intermittently every few months. Some days its on, some days it stays off. If I take it to the dealer they seem to replace the O2...

    Replacing the exhaust on a D1

    I need to replace my exhaust on my D1-everything behind the catalytic converters. The union (two bolts) between the exhaust and the Cat is extremely rusty and don't think there is any way of removing the nuts without snapping off the screws. How do I go about doing this if the screws are going...

    My 96 D1 is starting to have trouble maintaining idle (70% of the time) and at times will stall unless my foot is on the gas pedal. When I start the car, it hesitates at first before idling steadily. Also I am noticing more vibrations than normal while it is making up it's mind if it will...

D1 with 99,000 mi. Thanks...

    Door actuator problem?

    I know this has been discussed earlier, but I tried to fix it with no results: The driver's side door only opens when the key is inserted, turned in the open position, and the latch activated. I took apart the door and adjusted the rod to see if that would solve the problem-it did not. The...
