Yup...."put my purse down" and got a bit western on that bitch....she finally broke loose. Oil level only down a little, nothing serious. Definitely seeping from the lower edge of inspection plate seal (or gasket?...I don't know what lives there) Very minor seep and I have lots of gear...

Yup....I decided to "put my purse down" and get a bit "western" with it. She finally cracked loose. Transfer case oil level just a bit low, nothing to worry about. Oil is definitely "seeping" from the large inspection plate. Very minor, maybe a drop a day. Reset plug with a bit of anti-seize...

Good thoughts....didn't think of a little "shock" treatment. Been thinking....maybe this sounds a bit "U.S. redneck" but: Since the plug sits vertical, I'm going to silicone a small "cup" over the fill plug (cut from a plastic jug handle?). The cup should retain PB Blaster / penetrating oil so...

Good lord. Minor seepage on plate on transfer case. Thought I'd better confirm oil level right away. Simply attempted to pull transfer case filler / check plug and man is it TIGHT! Looks like a PO used some silicone around it....hopefully not "Lok-Tite". I'm afraid I'm going to break something...

Kinda looks like my relative from Ireland.(?) no...maybe not, it appears this guy still has his teeth.....

She's reading 150k miles so has not been a garage queen. Looking it over I doubt if it has seen many off road miles. First owner racked up 50k miles....Second owner ran it up to 150k miles. With that mileage I'm fairly sure all "show room bugs" have been worked out. It has the little 4.0 liter...

When I looked the rig over prior to purchase something in the engine bay caught my eye....down next to the starter, the large starter heat shield was loose and just laying in there between the frame / starter. VERY close to the main starter hot lead. Amazing that it never shorted against the...

Well...SUCCESS! Once I had the slider as far forward as possible, I used a long punch and gave the left side a slight "love tap" on the metal lower section and it moved....went to right side and did the same...it also moved forward. So then just cranked it closed as it is supposed to work. I...

OK....accessed the manual crank mechanism....ran it in / out a few times (with glass removed) and the track's equaled themselves out. So now things are not binding and both sides equal...but the track mechanism comes to a "dead stop" right at the point that the glass is supposed to drop down. It...

No...haven't located the "Rave" manual. Think I saw something about it when I signed up. I'll look again. front: I do not like photos of myself....:)

This is my first Land Rover. I've owned numerous unique vehicles since I was a kid. Luckily I started life as an auto mechanic so have never been a slave to the repair shops....only under duress. We spend Winters in the desert SW of Arizona...perfect Winter weather...dry and temps in at least...

Thank you very much for the reply. I will access the motor and take a good look at what is going on. Sure wish I had some sort of schematic showing the mechanism and entire assembly. Do you know of any such "on line" schematics / descriptions? I don't have a garage but thankfully I'm in the...

"New to me" 1997 Discovery 1. The rear sunroof will not close entirely and bottoms out a couple inches shy of closing....the motor works. Appeared to be binding / crooked. I was able to remove the glass panel to have a look-see. The right hand track is ahead of the left hand track, causing the...

Well, I guess this groups standards aren't too high since I've been accepted. So good deal! I'm the recent purchaser of a 1997 Disco 1 across the way in Arizona. Never have owned a Land Rover, but have always been drawn to unique vehicles. Already have a stack of Disco questions to be thrown out...
