I have noticed lately a weird sloshing sound coming from the passenger foot well. I can only hear it when i start it up and give it a bit of gas... does anyone have ideas??? I've had the complete interior out about 6 months ago and didn't notice anything then...

Also since doing some strenuous off-roading over the July 4th weekend, my 96 disco has been starting very "sluggish". And every now and then when it does start up none of the electric accesories (radio, windows, lights, a/c) work. So i have to turn the disco off and restart it, then all works. is this a common problem with a fix or just one of those great Lucas mysteries???

 

You're a/c drain pipe is plugged up. You have 2 of them that go thru the floor and drain down on either side of the transmission. So get a flash light and crawl under the truck, look on the floor board area oon both sides of the tranny for a small black nipple, take hold of it and pinch them good, when the water starts flowing, you will know you got it.

I just recently bought a disco 2002 love it! But before hand I test drove a couple that were in pretty ruff shape- The one I drove just happened to have that a weird sloshing noise on the passenger side -The sound I heard was more of a sound like being at the beach and you hear the waves rolling in and out..(it was like an ocean was in the glove compartment box and it was loud !) The car dealer tried telling me it was the window washer fluid/wiper etc.. I ignored him because I knew he was lying -I talked to two mechanic's and they both said IT WAS THE HEATER COIL AND THAT IT IS EXPENSIVE... To have it fixed they have to remove the whole dash from inside your car to get to it fixed. You may want to get a professional opinion! I hope thats not it.. good luck !!!

 

So, both the mexchanic and the saleman were full of S--T and didn't have a clue what they were talking about. The washer fluid is up by the headlights, can't be heard, anf the sloxh sound is not the heater core unless it is also draining all over the carpet.
Just need to cleen out the a/c drain nipple.

Hey Mike

I have that same beach sloshing noise. How can we drain the air bubble?

 

PM me with your tele number and I'll call you and walk you thru it.
