Hi all this is my first time posting on this site. Anyway, I have a 1999 discovery series two with 121,000 miles on it. It is time to get the 120,000 mile tune up on the car, however I was wondering if the $900 price tag is worth it. I would like to service the truck myself, as I do the oil changes and small things like that, but I am a bit skeptical about doing a tune up. Should I take it to the shop or should I attempt to do the maintancence myself (I dont even know if I need to have a diagnostic computer to do it anyway). I guess what I am asking is can I do the tune up with very limited tools, and if so, what things should be done. Thanks in advance.

 

Here is you list of stuff to do. It can all be done in the drive way and I'll be glad to walk you thru it.
