Default Last pleas for help b4 I drive my Disco 1 off a cliff

(begining to seriously regret my decision to rebuild this thing). Anyway, Id appreciate any suggestions, tips on where to go from here.

Problem 1 - Transfer shifter warning buzzer going off the second you depress the main shifter button to shift it out of park. Transfer case shifter has been rebuilt, new solenoid and lock sensor installed to no avail

Problem 2- SRS light on and dealer can't reset, says one of the connections must be faulty.

Problem 3- Constant oceans waves from somewhere under the car, seems to be around the dash area

Problem 4- Coollng system acting up. Even after a flush, new pump and fan clutch it radomly boils over even before the gauge show it overheating. System has been bled to death multiple times. collant temp sensor replaced.

Problem 5- Loud but ultra slow acceleration. don't know how to describe it other than it just seems to struggle to get going at any speed or gear.

Default Forgot Problem 6

forgot problem 6 - it starts up fine from cold or after short runs but ater anything longer than a 20 min drive it will not even click when you try to start it back up. However if you wait about half hour or a bit longer it fires right up as if nothing had happened.

You need to pressure test your coolant system. If you are absolutely positively sure you have bled the system properly, you are loosing coolant. 3 & 4...are due to air in the cooling system.

Sounds like 1 & 2 are electrical problems. Nee to trace the lines out and clean all connections. Be careful not to set off the air bags...

5- do a compression test on all cylinders and check each spark plug. Might have a blown head gasket leaking coolant into one of the cylinders, or it could just be a stuck exhaust valve.

6- new starter solenoid.

Default On 6 I was thinking a relay??

Thanks. I really appreciate the advice. On #6 i was thinking a relay going bad but I can't find one directly for the starter, just one for the fuel pump. I'll start with the solenoid as suggested
