I agree, it seems wrong that I don't get the big hiss. The fuel feed line looks caked with road grime, but I don't see any sort of obvious leaks. I'll have to keep searching.

Btw, the truck fired up immediately (turned the key without waiting for the pump) this morning, with zero hesitation. I remain skeptical that the problem is solved, but we'll see as the temps get cooler here over the next month.

 

My wife loves hers as well. It has its quirks, too, but I don't worry about it leaving me stranded--something always in the back of my mind while driving the Rover.

 

Definitely no coolant loss. Head gaskets replaced about a year ago. I was losing it then.

 

You can always throw a bike or a small scooter in the back of the Disco for emergency transport.

 

Forget the scooter and pack these... http://www.footlocker.com/product/mo...YWORD%20SEARCH

 

Without meaning to sound like that member that posts nothing more than shoe advertisements, here is what I have worn for the past 5 years, and nothing else (I know how that sounds; get your minds out of the gutter; I mean I haven't worn anything else on my feet):

The scooter would be a lot quicker than either pair of shoes.

 

Damn you making my work boot shopping easy...I am in need of new boots for work and I like to wear hiking type boots for some ankle support but yet low enough so I can work the gas/brake and jump in and out of the van quickly and unencumbered.
I think I found my boots.
I just need to make damn sure they are water proof.

And that they will last longer than 6 months.
The only pair of boots I have had that lasted longer than that was a pair of Teva's that I got for free from a Land Rover promo.

 

I keep this in the back of mine...

 

LOL Okdisco. That was funny.

Spike, you know I am a paramedic and we are notorious for trashing boots. I have only had one pair that lasted longer than 6 months and that is the pair I am currently wearing. They are Doc Martin slip ons with a composite "steel" toe so they are lighter than a regular steel toe. I have had them a year and they still look great. I don't see them wearing out any time soon. I paid 80 bucks for them at Academy. They have composite shanks for ankle support. I realize you may not like slip ons at all but they are an awesome boot. Zippers and laces never last longer than 3 months for me so thats why I had to go to a slip on. Anyway, just thought I would throw that out for you since this thread turned into a work shoe thread lol.
