Hi guys,

Done lots of a reading on the board about the things that you can expect to deal with.. Assuming all of the things listed below need to be done, which of these take priority over the other?

Head gasket at 90k?
Drive train made grease able
3 amigo fix
Coolant bleed and replace with Green
Disco Mike 60k service
SLS to Coil

Other stuff I'm missing that would be typical in a 2001 or 2004?

Thanks!

 

Wait until needed - Head gasket at 90k?
Number 2 Drive train made grease able
Number 3 amigo fix
Number 1 Coolant bleed and replace with Green, and add a 180f thermostat and Ultra Gauge
Number 4 Disco Mike 60k service
Number 5 SLS to Coil

 

Agreed, with #1 and #2 interchangeable.

 

Add 1.5 - oil pressure test with manual gauge and snug up valve cover gaskets, replace all fluids (oil, diff oil, transfer case, tranny fluid and filter) which would be part of high miles service.

 

Head gasket at 90k? 2.a
Drive train made grease able 1.
3 amigo fix 3.
Coolant bleed and replace with Green 2.b same time as the head gaskets
Mike 60k service 4.
SLS to Coil 0.

 

The best thing you can do , if you don't have a Disco yet, is to pay a good Rover shop do a pre-purchase inspection so you know what to plan on and pay a price based on the condition not the sellers hopes.Rebuild or replace the front drive shaft first before it do fail taking your tranny with it.
If your head gaskets are not leaking, leave them alone.

 

1st, front driveshaft.
2nd, Top-hat liner conversion (takes care of many others). I understand not everyone will bea able to do this.
