I have an oil leak seems to be coming from Oil Filter area. just purchased it. one owner 102,000 miles. Service engine light is own. any suggestions... comments... or things to watch out for in the Land Rover Discovery World!

 

The oil leak is your oil pressure sending unit. About $15 at AutoZone. You can replace it yourself. It is directly above the oil filter.
Is your red Service Engine Soon light on or the amber Check Engine light on? Makes a big difference.
Things to look out for, you MUST use premium gas. With DI's you will have ABS problems. Not worth fixing in my humble opinion. When you do a tuen up you must use either Land Rover plug wires or better yet Magnecor plug wires.
Not much else, do not use a K&N air filter, use premium gas. Change the fluids in everything and just enjoy it.

 

it is the service engine light.... not the Check Engine. i am going to give it a tune up. i got the list. 60k or should i do the 120K????

 

They are the same service, just follow my list that has been posted on this site many times to the letter.
As for the service light, there is a relay in the passengers kick panel, orange in color with a Rover emblym on it. In the midle of the emblym is a pin hole, use a paper clip, insert it into the relay with the key in the 2nd position and short the relay.
That should take care of that problem.

 

were can i find that list?
