    Losing oil - burning smell

    99 Disco II w/125,000 miles I changed my oil this weekend and noticed that my Disco lost over a quart of oil since the last change just over two months ago. I am not leaking any fluids on the ground so I am assuming I am losing it thru the rings. I have also noticed a slight burning smell...

    SES light - MAF cleaner solves for a while

    My SES light goes on and off fairly often. I bought some MAF cleaner and sprayed down the MAF sensor good. The light turned off for a week and then came back on. Any suggestions on cleaning it better or is it time for a new MAF sensor? 99 Disco II with 115K.

    Service Engine Light - Gas Cap?

    replacing brake pads on 99 Disco II

    How do I replace the brake pads on a 99 Disco II? The LR dealer here in town wants $440 to replace them and I believe I can order the parts from atlanticbritish for around $200 for all 4. The rotors seem fine...no metal on metal or any vibration under the pedal. Thanks.

    Discovery II alternator

    Can someone tell me how to replace the alternator on my 99 Disco II? Is there anything more than removing the fan shroud, then the serpentine belt, and the alternator itself? How to I release the serpentine belt? Thanks.

    Slowly loosing coolant - 99 DII

    I have been slowly losing coolant for about 6 months. Recently I replaced the water pump and the valley pan gasket when the leak became a flood. That completely fixed it for a month. Now I am faintly catching the smell of coolant when I get out of the car and the reservoir is slowly losing...
