All- I purchased my 2000 Disco II at about 80k miles... I'm currently at about 87k and fast approaching 90k. I asked my mechanic about the Land Rover recommended 90k service and it is VERY EXTENSIVE and quite expensive. Anybody have any idea about what I should do? Should I just go ahead w/ the service since I have only had the car for less than 10k miles... and am not quite sure exactly what has been taken care of.

My feel is that the last owner (the only owner) was pretty good about the scheduled (recommended) maintenance. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

If you are mechanically inclined, I can walk you thru this list and you could easily save $500 to $700 in costs.

Mike, what is "Seafoam"? And your list states 60k service, this also applies as a 90k?
This forum rocks, guys, looking forward to owning a Rover soon.
Thanks, David

 

Mike- Is that the 60k mile service or the90k mile? I'm approaching 90k.

Thanks.

 

When i first wrote that list it was based on doing a very complet 60K or for anyone who had just bought a 90K type used vehicle that wasn't sure of it's past service and wanted everything to be current and ready for all the off road you could throw at it.

As for SeaFoam, it is a good quality gas additive that can be used in the tank as well as an induction cleaner.
