You have land lol... anyways drive down some small country roads, you'll find some dirt trails im sure. Im 17 BTW to.

I would highly suggest joining Chicago Land Rover club : http://www.chicagolandroverclub.com/

They do come up to wisconsin for off roading a few times a year in the Nicolette national forest (about 20 minutes east of me). always something to think a bout.

also so, yeah i only have 2 Zerks on my drive shaft for geese, this means mine needs to be rebuilt?

Yes, your front shaft needs rebuilt. You should have 4 total. 1 for each joint in the double cardan, 1 the shaft itself and 1 in the joint at the differential pinion.

Does the rear window wiper automatically come on when you first start your car if it senses rain? Lol I have noticed mine does this right when I turn it on when its raining and it wipes about 10 times, and then stops. Also, Im having a hard time finding anyone to get back to me about some of those little parts I need. I have PMED about 3 different people with threads saying parting out a disco. I would like the 7th seat in the back to be functional as well as a few other cosmetic parts.

The rear wiper of the Disco is intermittent. The Disco also has a nifty little feature that if you have the front windshield wipers on and you switch into reverse, the rear wiper wipes, even without the switch being on. When you switch into drive or park, it stops. As for the 10 or so wipes...I think that was just the way it does it, wipes a few times to get all the excess crap off, then goes intermittent.

This car really is designed pretty ingeniously. I love it. But it also loves my wallet.

These vehicles are as bad as if not worse than a damn woman. Fall asleep, wake up, go to work, just to notice there is $100 bucks missing out of you wallet, and money gone out of your checking account. I've seen it a hundred times...not to mention to my self just a week ago...

Unfortunately this is possibly serious. Amber orange would be the coolant. If you run low, and it overheats, it only takes a short amount of time to completely mess up the engine. From this point on, check the coolant level every day, and if you can, avoid driving it until you find the leak!

First place I'd look is at the waterpump itself! This could account for your squeal. The second place I'd check is the throttle body cooler plate.

PS: You don't need to write the RAVE to a CD. You can just find a program that reads .iso files and copy everything to your hard drive.
