Have you taken the door interior door skin off? I had a similar problem and found as the lock pokes through the interiour trim if it is not aligned properlly it will jam it. Try popping the trim off the door and seeing if it still malfunctions. If it does i would say it would be the...

Could be a multitude of things, there are several posts with similar problems worth checking out. Pull out a spark plug to see if your getting a decent spark, you may also want to pull out an injector and turn engine over to see if fuel getting out. These engines are a lot more complicated...

Could someone please explain to me where the low tension leads go? Im hoping that they dont go straight to the computer as i imagine this would be an expensive item to replace. Thanks.

Newbie :) Would diff lock be required for sand? i often take mine to the beach for a drive over the dunes etc. I allways put it in diff lock.

Ok, 1996 Disco. Had problems before, at idle engine would cut out then refuse to start sometimes would start after 10-15 minutes. At about 60KPH noticed several slight rev drops before it cut out next time it sat at idle. Has been towed twice. The second time it was towed after...

Had a recent experience trying to tow my 96' Disco. I was told the Torque Converter would be damaged when it was towed? I put it in N and took off hand brake and seemed to be ok - needed a longer tow rope for it though! Quite a few people were laughing and pointing as i was being...

Check your battery terminals, also your earth lead. check all your fuses - also that they are the correct rating and seated properlly. Sounds like something is "loose" as oposed to "broken" to me!

Yep the water goes straight up the front, number plate flimsy aluminuim thing and only fixed at top :) Could i use food wrap to cover dizzy? has a pretty high heat tolerance. :D What does everyone else do????????

Yep thought it could be fuel problem - since the cost of fuel here has peaked again at $1.48 p/ltr it's been run down really low a few times - may have sucked up some grit out the tank! Would a hair line crack on dizzy cause probs? will pull it off and check. Could the coil be at fault...

Hi all. Yep. it did it again. After my previous post i siliconed around the HT lead to the coil. Cleand it all out and it worked. Well today i was driving along at 60KPH and the revs dropped then kicked in again. did this a few times within 20mins. When i stopped at the lights i left...

erm ok thanks ! ! !:rolleyes: it's just mine went through a tiny stream. about 2" deep. Ok I was going fast enough for the water to bend my number plate up off the bumper. I have learnt alot! *My Disco is NOT a boat. *It will stop working if i drive it into the sea. *Kicking it...

Hiya When i replaced head unit in mine (have since returned it to factory one) I could not trace the speaker wires from the loom to the speakers. I think they go through an amp somewhere first. I ended up running new wire from each speaker and just snipping off the power wires off the...
