Not all Disco's had SLS. When it does go badone of the fixes is to convert to coils.
The compressor is under the passengers feet. If you have ACE (active cornering enhancment) that pump runs off the engine as does the secondary air pump.
You can tell if you have ACE by looking at the power steering resevoir, if it has two caps and one says "ACE" on it then you have it. It takes power steering fluid.

This has been an extremely entertaining thread to follow. Best one i've read. Great entertainment listening to all of you ragging on each other. Saturday Night Live has nothing on you guys. I love my Disco but run a lot with Jeeps in my area. Both are great trucks. I don't understand all the animosity between both brands. I love to see all the different brands be they Jeeps, LR's, Toyotas, etc. and what they do to build them up. I like watching all the different trucks on trails. Makes life interesting. I'm just pro 4-wheeling not pro any one brand.

Well, you may have a point about the intertainment factor, but you will notice that unlike other rover sites, nobody gets told Off or called rude names. as far as the animosity regarding the Jeep brand, I don't get it either since I've been a Jeep fan my whole life and have personnally owned 4 until last year when I decided to sell the last one, due to the fact that I wasn't using it anymore since the rover was getting all the attention and driving time. But it is a fact that the jeep crowd is much younger and immature, except for the older guys but they only represent 10% of the owners.

PSSSSSST Spike.....the air compressor is on the driver's side. It's the ACE block that is on the passenger's side

The link to Darover's Jeep also has his Disco in the background, and it is the very rare (for a D2) Conniston Green.
