I had to replace the intake gasket and Plug wires to get rid of the codes,.....no easy job and ridiculously expensive at the LR dealer,....but better than doing head gaskets which I had to do on my prior Disco. Once I got those things done and replaced the front brake rotors and pads, and rebuilt both driveshafts (was chasing a vibration,....this did not fix it),...and later replaced the E brake drum which fixed my vibration. The truck actually turned out to be a very reliable and solid truck and I think I had somewhere between $1500 and $2000 in it at that point. Fuel mileage is 12 mpg for general running around, and 15 on the highway if driven at posted limits. I just ordered a EGR Purge valve, hoping that will take care of my 1450.
