So what did you do to your Disco today?
They don't have one listed on their site currently, but I'd try calling.
Minimum maintenance roads and ATV trails .
Did some Early deer season scouting , my disco 1 is home in these woods 😀😀

I pulled the rear air-conditioning ducts to clean and polish the acrylic for the alpine window. I'm also resealing the ducts and based on how loose fitting they were, I should see a big improvement in flow from the vents. I use the rear AC a lot since I almost always have a dog in the cargo space and often passengers in the 2nd row. I have previously replaced the rear AC refrigerant pipe and the headliner was replaced before I bought the vehicle. Otherwise, those jobs would be a part of this also.
On my to-do list is to replace the throttle and kickdown cables. The throttle should be easy. It looks like the kickdown cable will require pulling the exhaust, crossmember, tranny pan, and valve body. I've previously done three out of four and shouldn't run into broken bolts or anything, but I'm still not looking forward to it.

Did my starter today after a week of many clicks in am before work and when it did it after work slapped in a new one in my work parking lot maybe a 45 min job , and boy she cracks over now like it never has , so anyone with a slow cranking discovery 1 out there put a new one in it and u will be amazed at how fast your disco turns over , I think mine was $60-80 bucks on Amazon , I've had it in back of truck for almost a year getting every crank out of old one ...lol
I have a degree gauge in mine and anything over 20°s is getting steep for my disco it'll go up it but boy does she slow down from 55mph to 30mph quickly as they are like driving a tank up hill
Came out of work , went to drive home brake pedal went to floor , looked for a leak under bye all wheels nothing , looked under hood possible leaking from the back of master cylinder , low fluid , added some still goes to floor I'm assuming it's master cylinder , worked fine in am sat all day then no pressure unless I pump them , then peddle goes away just as fast ,,,,,hmmm

I'm in Washington near the ocean and I see you are Florida so brake fluid sucks up moisture and it flows to the lowest point.

I've never changed the brake fluid but it looked brand new , but don't know what kind is in it , I'm changing out the master cylinder tomorrow and bleeding dot 4 threw it and will have to go from there , I live a mile from work so don't think it had a chance to heat up and it was 45ish degrees out , if air or water is in the system I'll have it out tomorrow lol and if it doesn't build pressure back then I guess I'm tracing down all lines from front to back , was low on fluid in the master cylinder front part but rims and hoses dry , only wet spot was back of master cylinder on brake booster , I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's leaking out back side of master since parts are on the way ...lol
Well use a glass jar when you bleed each corner, if there is water the bleed screw will be rusted and a water bubble will be in the jar, best to remove the bleed screw and look for rust, clean if not too bad or it will fail.
