oil & filter change. 15-40 Rotella and Napa Gold 1515

 

Is there any downside to the larger 1515 filter? I'd like to throw one on as well next oil change.

 

Yanked out the pesky old HI/LO solenoid on my 2004 disco 2. Finally have 4LO!!!!

 

Nope. None that I have experienced.

 

You can just slide the new cable in by lubing it well, broke mine last year and couldnt be arsed removing the entire cable with sheath.

 

After replacing a transmission (found a good used one for $275), battery, shocks, rear window (someone decided to use it for target practice), seafoamed engine, installed new driving lights..... And on and on..... I just sat there and smiled at it today. Dunno why a car can cost so much time and money and I still look at it and smile. I think I am going crazy.

 

The Discovery I is legendary that's why. It, along with the Defender, has conquered the world's toughest terrain.Camel Trophy made it famous and we are holding on to a little piece of history. I rarely see other D1's on the road anymore.

 

In the process of replacing the hood release.

 

Just packed my front bearings and changed rotors.


New rotors and bearings.

 

I hope you did have jack stands and just removed them for the pic.

I went years and years just using jacks - last month I was changing my oil pan gasket and my almost brand new jack gave out - luckily I had stuck stands under the axle but they weren't snug up to it - maybe an inch between the stands and axle.

Nothing like a 2 ton truck dropping an inch and being caught an inch above your face by jack stands to turn your drawers brown.
