also The new (used) engine is very dirty on the inside. Anybody have any ideas how to flush it out good?

The bolts are really hard to get out of the torque converter. Any ideas why? This is the new engine. Could it be from overheating? I hope the ones in the tranny now are not as hard to get out.

OK good info, The one on the engine that I bought looks good so if i find some damage on the other plate I will change them out. thanks!

gotcha, I have every thing undone up top but the wiring harness. I will start on the bottom tomorrow. I guess its easier to pull the wiring from under the dash instead of unhooking every thing on the engine since the junkyard did this. Paul

Why was this alarm not working before? Did the dead battery cause the computer to reset and start the alarm again? We drove this thing for a year and a half with out the little red light blinking :confused:. BTW it is a 95 with a 3.9 liter engine if that helps. thanks

Just introducing myself. I have a 95 disco that needs an engine so as soon as I find one I will be putting that in but I have a problem with the alarm system now. I made a thread in the disco area if you know any thing about the stock alarm system...

Hello all, I have a 95 disco and I have a problem. lol this reminds me of my first post on the 3000gt forum. Anyway a while back the wife ran the LR out of oil :( so now I am looking for a new engine and I let the battery run all the way down. well I charged the battery back up so I could move...
