I was having problems fueling up the Disco the other day, in that the pump kept shutting off, and I was only able to pump about .40-.50 worth of gas at a time. I searched in here, and someone recommended pouring some fuel injector cleaner down the smaller vent hose at the filler neck. So I bought some Lucas FI injector, opened the gas cap, and low and behold, there are two holes, one at 12 o'clock and the other at 6 o'clock. So I figured I'd pour it down the hole at 6 o'clock, and hope the next time I fuel it up, probably in a day or two, it'll flow fine.

Also installed a new set of factory rear mud flaps. Took someone's advice in here and used a sawzall to remove the stock mud flap hardware on the backside. Then used a drill bit and hammer to lightly tap out the rest of the bolt. Who in the world made those retainer gizmos? I understand the button head on the tire side, but seriously, a simple washer and nut wouldn't have worked?! I bet someone's family member at Land Rover had a whole warehouse fill of those damn retainer gizmos, and that's why they were used!

 

Also got a call from my youngest daughter back in So Cal, telling me the '94 Disco I just bought back there was in the driveway and wouldn't start. Based on the recent experience I had with my '99 D1, I asked her to do the following: make sure it's in park, the e-brake is engaged, foot on the brake, then turn the key and try to start it. She said the warning lights came up on the dash, but nothing happened when she tried to start it, no cranking or anything. I told her it doesn't take much juice for the radio or interior lights to work, so it could be the battery. I asked her if she could take it out of Park, and she said yes, so at least I know it wasn't the same problem I had with mine (blown 15A fuse for the stop lights and turn signals). They're going to call AAA and have them come out and check the charging system, to see if it's the battery, alternator, or whatever. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's something simple (and inexpensive) like the battery. We'll see...

 

Have AAA tap on the starter while tuening the key.

 

Finally got around to bed lining the floor got two coats down just gonna wait til l tomorrow to put all the interior back in. Couldn't have done it without a hand from my girlfriend

 

Looks great! What kind of bedliner did you use and how much did it take?

 

Thanks! I used the rust oleum, I have it on my sliders, headliner and rims. I bought a gallon and only used half for two generous coats

 

Rustoleum is the roll-on brand I use, it's not as lumpy as the others. However, from my experience, it's just a little better than paint, in that moving things around on it will scratch right thru it. It's good for things like lower body panels, hood, roof, etc, but if it's going to be subject to sliding things on it, it won't last.

 

Installed new LED tail lights on each side, along with a used driver's side tail light assembly. The plastic securing the brake light bulb melted, and was having issues maintaining a positive contact, so the brake light bulb wasn't working all the time. The new assembly has all good plastic around the bulb sockets, and to keep the heat down on that bulb, I replaced the standard 1157 dual filament brake bulbs on both sides with red LEDs. Did a function check, and they work fine. Should be much brighter at night though, but you can still see them during the day, so I should pass inspection next time around.

 

It's all about the prep work when painting, if it scratches right of when you slide something across it, you obviously didn't scuff it or clean it enough/right.

 

Got real stuck and dirty. Do not attempt 36"+ deep mud holes when wheeling alone. Luckily I was able to get out and then pull a Jeep out.


Tweaked the bumper a bit winching out. Looks like it deformed the frame bolt holes from a brief look.
