2000 DII - Very clean - Rutland Red - $8,500 obo
Thanks Joey, and you're right. I'm located in northern Illinois. If it weren't for a lack of garage space, I wouldn't have any reasons for selling. The 1967 Camaro just came out of two year restoration. So of course, that car requres proper storage.... :) I hate to see the Rover just... -
2000 DII - Very clean - Rutland Red - $8,500 obo
Too many cars, not enough space - therefore need to sell my 2000 DII. I trucked this DII up from Texas about a year ago, so it's basically rust free, very clean, and in great shape. Details as below: * 87,500 miles - 2000 Discovery II, w/ACE * Heated leather seats * Dual sunroofs * 6 disk... -
Service engine soon after oxygen sensor
Um, if you own a DI or especially a DII - an OBII reader is probably going to be one of the most effective tools in the garage for fixing your own vehicle. An absolute necessity. My humble .02 -
O2 Sensor
Woah - - do don't anything crazy like going to the damn dealership or anything... Take a deep breath. this is completely fixable yourself. Need to determine if this is a MAF issue or an o2 sensor issue. Please provide a little backup as to how the truck is currently running. Any... -
Automatic transmission oil change
Some swear by sythetics, some swear by simple Dextron III ATF. I personally used Dextron III ATF and the she never shifted better. By a extra quart or two. Just a tip. -
Tune Up questions
X2 on the Champion plugs. Those $11 plugs are an absolute waste, since Champion Copper plugs are known to work best - gapped around .040 0r .042 in my opinion. From what I know, there's no hose that needs to be cut for plug wire replacement. Wire replacement can be a real pain though. I... -
Automatic transmission oil change
It's a pretty easy job. Are you also planning to replace the filter and seal as well? Hate to turn you over to a different forum, but there's a great write up on dweb that goes over everything rather well. The torx wrench sizes mentioned are a little off, but the rest of the details are... -
Steering Issue
Will deals in used parts - good used parts. The only reason I'd think an actual rod would need replacing, is due to it being damaged, bent or something. There are four tie-rod ends that can be replaced. Two on the track rod, two on the steering rod. It's not a tough job. A small sledge... -
Error codes
X2 on the MAF. I'd be willing to bet a craft-brewed six pack. Cleaning the MAF will work, but only a few times. Cleanings only lasted me about 3 months or so. A dying MAF is a dying MAF. There's no coming back to life for those damn things... -
type of gas you all are using on your disco?
I use nothing but high octane - 91, 92, 93 depending on what's available. Too many foul things can and likely will happen if you don't. I even run an additive/cleaner about evey 3rd tank or so to keep everything as clean running as possible. Wouldn't you? -
Steering Issue
For parts, contact Will since he is the god of all things Rover parts. He may well have a fews things that you're looking for. Will Tillery 434.251.9331 [email protected] As for whether or not you actually need completely new steering linkage - I'd doubt it. Have you damaged... -
Thanks Will Tillery
Will is all things Rover parts. He's been straight up with me, and the parts I receive are in good working-used order. Now Joey's gone color..... It's sort of like when Dylan plugged in. -
Plug image - Head gasket needed?
Thanks Joey - great links. Now I can move on to the numerous other repair/replacements with the peace of mind knowing my plugs were fine. At least something is... Next: Find coolant leak source. Replace u-joints. New shocks, springs. Poly bushes. Replace steering shaft (thanks to Will... -
Plug image - Head gasket needed?
Actually, it seems this is rather normal and actually a sign of a properly tuned engine. The white 'crust' so to speak, is not what I originally thought it to be. So my never ending search for the cause of coolant loss continues. Not fun. -
Plug image - Head gasket needed?
Changed the plugs today and as expected, I noticed some white crust. Please review the plug image as attached. (#2 position) This is about the worst of the bunch, but they all had the same issue. I beleive this to be a sign of coolant burning up. I've been topping off coolant more than I think...
