The starter on my disco has given up, solenoid not engaging at all. Iv ordered a new one, the workshop manual talks about disconnecting front prop shaft. Is this really needed or can it be swapped out without disconnecting the prop? Its a 3.9 v8. Cheers

Well i finally got some time to get some pictures of my disco, not sure that anyone is interested but here they are regardless: 1996 3.9 ES nearly 180k miles, filthy, just like it should be.

Was checking my disco over today ready for the weekend as I may be greenlaning, so for the first time in I don’t know how long I went through the high neutral low box, bit stiff but changed ok. Then I tried to change to diff lock, now its probably not been used for 10 years but I couldn’t...

my '96 3.9 disco is leaking around the valve covers, i think changing the gaskets is probably the best course of action, i have a pair of cork gaskets i bought for a 4.6 p38 by accident as it had rubber ones instead, will these fit the 3.9?

What a bodge tastic motor i have. Well i had to pull out of the trip to salisbury plains today as a door on my disco decided not to shut. Spent today instead fixing it, luckily i was just able to take the mechanism out and just spray it with lube to get it working again.. but i did get to...

Ok my v8 disco has covered 180k miles, and there's a vibration, not unexpected I guess. All seems fine at 60mph but 65+ the thing feels like its going to shake itself to bits.. and lets face it, it might well do that, the vibration is through the body/floor not really the steering. I'm going...

Iv got single point injection lpg on my v8 disco, was switching over fine on the test drive and when i collected it. The LPG level got to 1 blob on the gauge and it started to stall when it changed over from petrol to LPG, restarted fine just a pain changing to N then starting it up and back...

Well the disco i bought has let a lot of rain in, headlining is very wet at the windscreen edge and water is dripping in at the front and rear lights in the roof, dont have time to fix that till the summer so for now i will be sealing the sunroofs up. The other problem is the rear door, can...

ducked out between the showers to look at my disco properly as it wont start, started checking fuse boxes and having a look over it.. Its bodge tastic, a couple of the main fuses in the bay have been bridged with wire where they have blown in the past, there's extra wires hanging around all...

Bought a 1996 Disco v8i 3.9 ES with LPG a couple of weeks back and didn't use it for a week, went to use it after/during some wet and windy days, it unlocked with the remote and i tried to start it, the lights on the dash came on and headlights came on but when i turned the key to start it...

And i do like the LR's! Iv owned a Range Rover P38 HSE 4.6 and a Mk3 Range Rover TD6 HSE in the past. Bought a 1996 Discovery 3.9 V8 ES on a whim the other weekend, having some problems but will post in the technical sections.
