That vid was a great way to start a quiet Saturday morning. Sitting in my kitchen in the SE U.K.

Idk if I’m just on a disco binge but this is one of my favorite KZread videos I have ever seen. 2 in one day that’s so epic

Nice job. It's worth it to dig in when you have a problem. So many vehicles end up in the scrap heap when they could be saved

Gotta say, I appreciate your videos as much as you appreciate old and classic British cars .. keep 'em coming.

Thank you for doing a Discovery 1 its is my favorite off roader

I love Discos. Yes, they break down, but so easy and rewarding to fix!

That D1 is a second generation one, produced from 93/94 until the D2 came out. Easy to tell the difference by the shape of the headlights and front of the bonnet (hood). Nice to see you keeping them going..

1994 was the first year they came to the United States and I may have seen one in person elsewhere in the world I wasn’t looking for them.

I bought a Discovery 1 brand new and it never let me down. The Land Rover dealer in Wiltshire UK was 'Old School' and the service was excellent. I never had a 4 x 4 and so took the salesman's advice on colour and specification. Ran it for just over 18 months and changed it in for a Discovery II. I handed over the keys for the I and took over the keys for the II and my monthly payments went down! The only issue with the II was a radio overheated and was replaced under warranty and I had the rear lights changed to add a running light in the old position as well as the new.. Ran that for about 2 years and never let me down either. Same colour as the I (metallic green) and a many of the extras on the I became standard on the II. The secret is always have them serviced on time. I ran both cars to Germany from the UK with a pallet each of urgent items in the back and earned well out of them. Great memories of some great cars. Well done keeping these Brit classics alive mate ...

As always, well done Steve. That you pass on your vast knowledge is commendable. 👍

3 AMIGOS!!!!!!! the Nanocom is a God send!!! Looking forward to more of your Disco videos.

Impressive knowledge.I know that I commented about the video deliver on the Midget race video , but I cannot take away your enthusiasm and skill. Great watch your videos are, and so varied in vehicles . Well done , from the UK.

Hi Steve, thanks for another great video showing your diagnostics skills. I've worked on Discos for 18 yrs but they are always diesel as I'm based in Europe.

Definately interested In seeing some more on disco 1 and 2 maybe some longer videos instead of multiple parts like you did was the last land rover series s just a suggestion love the videos man keep em coming

That Disco 1 will be challenge to make it a daily reliable commuter..... thanks for the videos, enjoy it very much!

I've watched a few of your videos now and enjoyed every one of them.

Hi Steve. Just want to tell you that i appreciate your videos very much. Keep up the good work! Andy from Sweden

Straight pipe both DIsco's. I have just done a video series on cutting out the cat and going straight out through the rear panel behind the rear axle on a Disco 2 Td5. The turbo whistle is beautiful! So a V8 should sound awesome!

Sir, I love your shows. I've been following some of your episodes recently. I have made a deal with certain individuals in my country Papua New Guinea to buy two Land Rover Discovery 1. However, the dealers and mechanics here can't fix these trucks. Therefore your channels have been very helpful. I'm now thinking more towards buying the vehicles and working on it. Despite that I'm not a trained mechanic. But your shows are so easy to follow and I hope I get the two vehicles started and on the road.

Enjoyed watching the disco series .. get more lol love the content dude

It's a perfect recipe. Find a car no one wants and you can get them for dirt cheap. Get real good at fixing them and buy any and everyone you can find.

The Disco 2 seems to have real potential ! Nice to see some V8 gas guzzlers...

Great job Steve. More videos please thank you

Hell yes😎

@Graham R I couldn't agree more, the US manufacturing is on very wobbly knees, their quality control is abysmal, it's now profit before anything else, a sure recipe for disaster. Here in Australia, we no longer have an auto industry, and worse, GM has shuttered the iconic Holden brand, I can only assume Vauxhall is in a similar position. Jaguar, my favourite childhood car. I still believe the E Type is amongst the most beautiful cars ever designed, and look great on the road, when they're running:) After being kicked around the globe by various owners, them and Rover, it's great that they're back where they belong. I can only hope that they improve the quality, with it will come improved sales. For the most part, older Range Rovers are known as shitboxes here. Cheers.

This gives some faith that all Land Rovers not not just junk.

I’m not a great mechanic but that was interesting give me some ideas how to troubleshoot a car minimally at least I think you taught me just enough to get myself in trouble thanks great video

You make it look so easy.

You got lucky with that fuel pump. Good stuff Steve

Very interesting video. Keep them coming. Am I right in assuming you have more of a passion dealing with UK originated vehicles?

Great work I just did a head gasket job on a 2004 and timing chain with new oil pump didn’t really have the time or helper to take video

Land Rovers that don't run. That's pretty normal.

Enjoyed, well done Steve.

Your shop is like a Discovery sanctuary

Steve, you are amazing.

I do like the Land Rover videos , would like to see you get them both fully mechanically running ! You are so close with disco 1 ! Thanks for the new video.

Old Land Rovers never die. The disco 2's are a good vehicle for the money, must have owned 20 of them over the years at least they very rarely lay down and die. I see you've learnt Land Rover owner 101- never own just one haha Check the caliper slides on the D2 they're not great. The speedo transducer is in the back of the transfer box, up beside the transmission brake.

Love the disco videos, you can get these a dime a dozen and they’re such good deals if you know how to work on cars

Dang, where do you find these? I have a 95 and love it, owned it for years. I am looking for another to give mine a friend, but haven't had luck finding a budget friendly one.

Those Discovery 2's were awesome when they came out, several of my friends families owned them. Quite prestigious in their day, and impressive off-road to boot. (Dakar rally and all that) But time does not seem to treat them well, and coupled with depreciation, they're almost worthless these days. I've really enjoyed this series of videos, most people don't consider these Discos worth even fixing, much less actually cleaning up and driving like you're doing.

Love the Disco videos. Nanocom especially. Also looking forward to more on the XJ. Great fun. Always glad to see a new video from you.

I had a RHD Disco 1 and now have a LHD Disco 2. I like them both but prefer my Disco 2. Cheers from England!

Ha oddly enough out of my 4 discovery 2’s I’ve owned they’ve never not started, but head gaskets, spun rod bearings, and cracked blocks have made them run pretty bad. Good work though.

I wish my PO had seen you open the gas filler rather than prying it open with the screwdriver.

ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A FUEL SUBMERSABLE TYPE OF FUEL LINE.

Lovin’ the Disco videos! Keep ‘em coming!

none of your vehicles become yard ornaments ...I'm impressed

Good job!

any work in two product machine cars or other well find fun and he well enjoy in his job .. German and British machine .. mazing product .

You should do a old volvo xc90

1100 bucks for two Land Rovers. Good deal.

They have an incredibly poor reputation for reliability.

I'm currently working on my '98 disco with very similar issues, what wiring issues did you solve before fixing the fuse? Mine wants to start and I've installed a new fuel pump but it won't go. Lastly do you have any throttle position sensors for sale? I bought a new one but broke upon installation.

The fuse was the only thing wrong, I didn’t do any repairs I didn’t show. Can you hear the pump run? Does it have spark? TPS should not keep it from running only from idling correctly.
