Coolant

My 04 disco has 30,000 on it miles, coolant change?

Personally I would change it every 5 years regardless of mileage.

Your truck is supposed to have a major service every 30,000 including "ALL" fluids and filters, and a full tune up every 60,000 miles.
How mechanical are you, this can be, with a little help an easy thing to do and save yourself around $600 plus in labor when you do it.

1 Factory air filter
6 Qts. of engine oil
