The picture that guided me...from the replies posted thus far...it does appear I may in fact be an idiot.
Trial and error has worked for me in the past with my Jeep, however, the Disco is a totally different animal.
I am in no way upset with any guidance received from this forum. To this date everything else I have learned from here has been highly useful and helpful.
If I am an idiot, please spare me the lambasting. The money I will be giving the dealer is pain enough...

MToomey,
Good picture and advise. You can also use the small red vaccumn fitting shown in the middle/top area of your picture. I just attach a section of vaccumn line to that knipple and put the other end into a bottle of SeaFoam or 24K. I do meter the flow using a pair of plyers so the fluid enters the manifold slower, usually over 2 or 3 minutes. I found by doing this you get better results, won't stall the engine and or throw a check engine light.Take care,
Mike J.

Monty,
Thanks for the posting, yes it is good to be back. I have done enough medical stuff over the last eight months so now it's time to get back to wheeling, soon.
Take care,

Worst part of it...
The estimate was for $1500. Mel from service called me and was like good news. "We found out your heater matrix didn't need replacing, just the hoses. So you saved about $100 on the whole thing."
Ok. If the heater matrix didn't actually need replaced, how did I only save $100? You guessed it...$800 worth of labor to figure out that the heater matrix didn't need replaced.
HELL! REPLACE IT! Whats another $100?
Another great quote from the LR service folks -
"No one buys a Ferrari looking for a $29 oil change."
I wonder what kinds of cars the service dudes drive.
BTW - Joey, cold air intake? How'd you manage that?
