Disco I Ownership Thread
A few weeks ago I purchased a 1996 Discovery I SE. It has just over 156K miles on it and several issues, which I guess is normal. This thread will serve as a restoration thread as well as a general guide for what ownership for these vehicles can look like. I have a similar thread going for my M5 on another thread and people seem to like it. So here it goes!
Oil Change 15 December 18, 157,302 Miles Reason: Unknown when last oil change was and very low oil level Cost: $50-$75 Things You Will Need:

Terrific. Another Discovery revived. I use Napa/Wix 1515 and Shell Rotella for oil/filters.
Take a look at this thread for lots of useful "how to's" and common problems. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...02/#post186769 Grab the workshop manuals from the link in my signature. Welcome to the party! |
This is actually an extremely helpful visual approach at helping/learning to change the oil.
This will also be most helpful to newer owners/users in the future. :) |
I spent a lot of time over the holidays doing a little bit to the Disco here and there and finally have the time to update this post. Unfortunately the truck has mostly sat since I bought it due to a few headaches that will be detailed below, but nothing terrible.
Thermostat Change/Coolant Drain, Fill, & Bleed 30 December 18, 157,302 Miles Reason: Engine not coming up to temp and heater not blowing hot air. Cost: $25-$75 Things You Will Need:
Step 5: Fill Cooling System With New Fluid and Burp/Bleed the System
Step 5.5: Fixing a Broken Fill Plug

What kind of cap is that on your new overflow tank?
It looks to be connected to something else? Thanks |

Thank you OverRover!
Now I am even more curious as to how I would make the electrical connection? Thanks |
