Wife driving the disco II and notice it was sputtering as she was driving like it was trying to shut off. She said she noticed that the temp gauge rose to the line beneath the overheat. She parked the disco. What gives?? I had the head gasket and water pump changed in july. its a 2000 disco II with 108,000 miles. I havent gotten to it yet but what could it be?? A friend stated to check the belt, maybe its shot. He drove the car a week ago and thought he heard a squeal sound when he started it. I did notice the night before that when I strted it it idled rough, I assumed it was cold. I went to get gas. Turned off the disco, pumped the gas, strted it again and again ran rough with the engine light blinking.
