I've got the Three Amigos, code reader reads nothing!
Disco Mike - you are as always, correct. I don't drive my Rover much but I just drove from Raleigh NC to Indianapolis and back. First thing I got was 3 Amigos... But it rained all the way up and back and when the 3 amigos would appear I would pull over and restart... and by the time I... -
I've got the Three Amigos, code reader reads nothing!
Go and get the wheels washed. On the inside of the wheels are some sensors that can cause the 3 amigos. Just power wash the backside the wheels. Cheapest $25 you can spend. Search the archives and read that several members have had the 3 amigos clear up with a simple wash. Take the time to... -

Rocker covers
No oil will drain when you remove valve covers. You should still check the oil while you have the hood open though. 2 years until engine rebuild? I would use the time to take a course at a community college on automotive engine repair because just because you can wrench something off doesn't... -
headliner thrills,
Yep Joey, the whole truck is like that! It's like they gentrified a Defender with employees they got from the old Morgan factory now in their 70's and drinking the ale during assembly! They were in a rush to get it out the door... Discovery was a hit and business was good. -
Sun roof drain causing leaks on a 99 lrd2
The forward 2 sunroof drains run from the front corners of the drain pan and down the door posts to exit just behind the front wheels. The rear 4 sunroof drains exit the pan at each corner of the pan and down through the body panels. Suggest keep it simple with a small 1 quart flower watering... -
headliner thrills,
Follow up: I had professional headliner shop fix it and it's good ($376). However, the drain tubes were one problem. The pan had a 'V' shaped notch in the sunroof drain pan, where Land Rover had hung the end of tube and applied glue/goop to hold it in place. This glue dried off and the tube... -
headliner thrills,
OK I'll do it the recommended way. This vehicle is getting the best of me. :-) -
headliner thrills,
Thanks Joey: I found the complete instructions with the pictures, they are excellent. I was thinking of just pulling the cloth only off the backer board and painting the backer board/headliner in place without removing it, with a brush! With all the other stuff that can go wrong this 2004... -
headliner thrills,
With all the trouble that headliners can cause does anyone think I should just pull the headliner down, vacuum up the foam and give it a coat of heavy paint applied with a brush? It is after all just a truck! -
headliner thrills,
This stuff is sure irritating! It rained every night for a month here in Raleigh NC. Now the 2004 headliner is starting to look like my 1997! https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/390710_10201010628569843_1252747095_n.jpg With all the trouble that headliners can cause does anyone... -
Disco2 dash repair kit
I didn't try your solution, but I could see it coming! What worries me is Land Rover didn't see it coming! Now my headliner is falling down due to sunroof drain blockage! Rovers are a nightmare of details! -

Then just drive it like it is and go slower. There are discussions about this also right here on the forums a 29' boat is larger than what most people pull. http://www.landroverworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12595&highlight=trailer+towing+Discovery&page=2 -
Disco2 dash repair kit
I was thinking the exact same thing, just screw it down with washers and screws. I suspect we should ask Joey and Mike what's the longest screw we can drive into the dash and not damage things under the dash. Another possibility is to put some glue under that front edge then lay a carved... -

I would not make huge changes to a Discovery just so you can pull or tow. There are some previous discussions about this on these forums, and by the time you change everything to accommodate towing the expenses are VERY high. When I tried to tow with mine I was constantly having to correct...
