Are these blocks redeemable in any way? 2004 Discos with blown engines can be had ridiculously cheap these days. (Edit: Price for engine is actually over £5000 shipped.) http://turner-engineering.co.uk/html/V8enginesreman.html Anyone have experience with these engines?

I've owned my 98 D1 for over six years now. It's provided service as a DD for many of those years even if it's downtime has accumulated upwards of 12 months. The frame is solid and clean compared to most Discos I've seen, but the body is rotting. Most seriously on the firewall where the hood...

Disco sub forum absolutely useless. Anyways, p1176 & p1179 Hot start issues Uneven idle New MAF Sensor installed. With new MAF Sensor massive throttle lag and/or engine cut out when throttle pressed from idle. POS part or does ECU need to calibrate to new sensor?

98 Disco. p1176 & p1179 Hard shifts to gear 3 as well which supposedly has something to do with this. Edit: forgot hot start issues I had bought a new MAF sensor a couple years ago when having a different issue. The issue turned out to be something else and I shelved the new MAF. Now I...

Runs too lean at idle and dies. It revs fine and has no adverse sounds. Unplug Mass Airflow Sensor for 10 seconds and replug fixes issue entirely. Replaced the sensor for the low, low price of $200USD to be met with the same issue. Unplug to make the computer go into fail safe mode and it...

Does anyone know of a place that makes them? I find all these other replacement panels but none for the area that seems to rust out on every single Disco around here. WHY DOES NO ONE MAKE A PANEL FOR THIS AREA?! Not one person within 100 miles of me has the proper tools to recreate the break in...

Well, I just finished piecing together the 4.0 in my disco after replacing the head gaskets. To my surprise the old whore fired right up after bleeding the fuel lines. Though, she's far from without issue and I was hoping to get some advice to expedite my troubleshooting. #1: Its running rough...

I had a head/headgasket go on my 4.0 disco. After have nothing but hell with the ****ty head bolts rolling off round I am now left with pulling the engine and drilling them out. At this point in time I'm not too keen on putting that PoS engine back in the truck. I'm also not too keen on the...

Got a Disco 1, v8, 110k miles, and which I assume has a cracked head. Runs fine, slightly rougher idle, and persistent water vapor in exhaust. No check engine lights. Is there any luck it is just the head gasket and I won't have to have heads machined/replaced? I can't check and see if it is...

I got bored and had a scroll through craigslist, holy **** what did I find. 1987 Land Rover DEFENDER 90 Apparently its got a 2.5 diesel, 5 speed manual, and its titled & inspected. I need to find out how they got it over here and street legal. I'd love to get a 110 over here across the pond...

I've got quite the issue... I want a defender and I live in the states. What I do see is there are quite a few crapped-out RR Classics around here. Before I even look more at the legality issues, which I assume will screw me over, what are the chances of me getting a decent defender body out...

Well, my disco started vibrating while accelerating... I'm pretty sure I've traced the issue to the front, right wheel which has a small amount of play in it that the other side does not. I've been trying to get the 1/2" nut off the top of the swivel pin housing to check the oil, but its...

This old disco had almost no visible rust about 10 months ago when I got it... Well I live right on the bay and I got it in some saltwater off-roading like an idiot a couple times. That with the unavoidable exposure to salt from living here, and now look at it: (ImageShack Slideshow)Land...

My little Disco I proved itself last weekend. Yanked out a Ford f-150 buried down to its tail lights and pulled out a lifted, 4x4, 8,000lb Dodge Ram 2500 out twice. It accomplished that with street tires sitting on wet, slimy mud. I'm the only one to not get stuck that night. :cool:

Well I was interested to see if Land Rover ever sold Defenders over here across the pond. 1994 Defender 90(?) 118k miles: $27,980(about £17,415) 1994 Defender 90(?) 140k miles: $29,980(about £18,660) 1994 Defender 90 83k miles : $35,955(about £22,379) Just for reference: 2001 Range Rover...

Well my little Discovery has been my pride and joy since I bought it. I have taken it offroading on what amounted to little more than bad fourwheeler/quadbike/whateveryoucallthemthingsacrossthepond trails and have been amazed at its capabilities with relatively non-aggressive tread tire. Now...

Well... I just bought a 1998 Land Rover Discovery LE the other day. Went to the dealership after a 2001 Ford f-150 4x4, but couldn't get the price down low enough. The price of used trucks here is extremely outrageous. The Land Rover had caught my eye earlier, it was about the only decent 4x4 in...
