I have a 95 disco, and believe it uses the same vacuum system as the 98.
There are three pieces of rubber tubing which all conect near the brake fluid reservoir under the hood. One tube runs to the throttle assembly, one through the firewall to a plunger type contact switch on the brake peddle, and the third snakes around the the left front quarter panel, past the air intake and under the emergency jack. This third attaches to the vacuum pump, which is in a little cubby hole behind the bumper.
1. Before replacing the vaccum pump, I would replace all of the vacuum tubing. Should cost you less than $5 USD. I believe it is 5mm, but am not sure. Bring the short piece with you to an auto part store to match it.
2. While replacing the tubing, make sure the pluger switch is set properly in its mount, as they can occaisonally work themselves loose.
3. The stock rover pump is about $400 USD. If you can find another manufacturer that makes something compatible, the replacement is relatively easy. It involves fishing the old part out and plugging in the three prong electrical connector and vacuum one vacuum tube.
PS. Who had a replacement?
