I think that you will find that many windscreen replacement companies will not touch them. We do them fairly regularly for Land Rover dealers but we prefer that they remove the headlining and associated parts. I think the book time is about eleven hours for the whole job, so the words panoramic...

Thread revival. This is exactly the scenario on my brother's 2005 D3 HSE during the last week. Remote central locking packed up but had been blowing the 30A fuse at random for a few months. Investigation showed that the nearside sill wiring channel was full of water and the nearside front carpet...

You have to remove the top door frame from the door shell; quite straightforward, just nuts and bolts.

I had a similar problem with my 1995 D1 V8 and found that it was the earth on the horizontal surface on the nearside inner wing just behind the headlamp.

I am in the process of rebuilding the innards of my D1 rear door after some paintwork and suggest that you check that the child lock is fitted correctly. On the D1, it's a very simple plastic latch that engages in a hole in an arm that comes down from the lock assembly. If it's been removed at...

I have had my 95 Disco 1 V8 for over four years and had some concerns about the rust on the bottom edge of the rear door aperture for some while. I had seen scary posts about rear crossmember corrosion and decided it was time to see what mine was like. I had a very pleasant surprise when I...

My brother has a 2005 Disco 3 TDV6 with a strange fault on the steering. The problem is that the steering sometimes feels really light from cold and the vehicle seems to float around on the road, almost like my old Disco 1 before I replaced all of the front and rear suspension bushes. After two...

The original D1s (200) used a rubber glazed screen which was the same as a Range Rover Classic screen but with a printed band on the lower section to hide the dashboard. The rubbers often need to be replaced but will not normally be covered by the insurer as this is considered as 'betterment'...

Extremely expensive new, somewhere around £200. Bought mine used for about £25 plus postage. Not really repairable as they seem to be very fragile and very sensitive to being turned when not installed as intended. Ask me how I know!

You will also need a very short right angle drill with a short drill bit to put the pilot holes in the dash top for the screws. Mine came from Machine Mart if I remember correctly.

Three door and five door units are the same, I believe. It is possible to install the dash kit without removing the screen. I have done it with a struggle using a right angled screwdriver but you need to get the shortest one that you can find. It's much easier with the windscreen removed if...

Check the king lead from coil to distributor. Every standard lead that I have seen has been 'only just' long enough. Mine has cut out because of this before I replaced the lead set.

Short answer is everywhere! It took me two years to track down and eliminate the leaks in my 95 V8. Some pointers to start you on the search: Front inner wings rear vertical edge, bottom of the A pillars, holes in the footwells, door seals, front door plastic membranes, rear quarter glass...

This proved to be a useful link for me with my EFI. It now runs very smoothly. Breathers were partly blocked; a general clean up and check over made a big difference. Rover 14CUX Hot Wire Mass Flow EFI: Service and Troubleshooting

It's within the 'normal' range on the gauge in the picture. It could be that there is a slightly cooler stat fitted than standard but I wouldn't be worried if mine consistently ran like that. Worth changing the stat if the fuel consumption is not where you think it should be.

Mine is pushing warm air out of the heater within a few minutes and showing fully warm (middle of the gauge) within ten.

Could it be the clutch release or pressure plate breaking up as it's heard when changing gear?

Be prepared to find more (or less!) than you expect under the old floor. Mine needed repairs to the sides and two new floor supports. Not a quick job.

On Disco 2, body flexing and even cracking around the bonnet hinges on the bulkhead is a possible cause. This can be a very wet area with water draining off the bottom of the windscreen; any weakness or bare metal will soon perforate allowing lots of water through. Worth a check.

Put the rubber onto the glass in the correct place. You can check the position by putting a pallet knife/paint scraper down past the weather seal on the other door to find the right location. Put the top edge of the glass onto something soft; a thick cloth on a piece of wood is ideal. Put the...
