I am not having misfires at all. Putting in new thermostat today.Will update. Also took to mechanic that specializes in Jags and Discos. Getting it back this afternoon. Will also update.

 

Update! Crimped transfer case cable
Bad thermostat, air in system, and minor head gasket leak
Broken vacuum line on cruise
Not sure on cd player yet.

 

only a minor gasket leak at 130k! wow. i had my done at 105 cuz they were pissin all over. the vacuum line for the cc is easy i had that prob as well.

 

One more update! Disco ran goods for two weeks then running hot again. I have an appointment to get the head gaskets replaced and the heads checked my a machine shop. Is there anything else that I should specify to the repair shop? They are also replacing the valve cover gaskets.

 

rob, what was the outcome of the head gasket change out & the head work if any.

 

How ironic that you asked today! I just got it back. $2260 later.

Performed

Full gasket replacement
Head, exhaust manifold, valve cover, and others.
New expansion tank
Oil change and filter
Cruise control vacuum line
Complete cooling system flush
Every nut and bolt removed was replaced with new.

I think that's it. I will look at invoice when I get home.

Now a question for all. I understand why engine compartment stays so hot. The aluminum displaces the heat. Has anyone thought of some sort of louvers?

Also, I am getting a lot of random stupid warning lights. I thing that it could be the speed sensor. Has anyone had any experience with the lights that I have listed earlier or the speed sensor?

 

which warning lights? together seperate? check engine? if its check engine get the codes read by an auto zone and come tell us the 4 digit codes so we can tell u whats going on
