My Disco is an 03 with 87,000 miles and was LR maintained as a lease vehicle up until 56,000 miles and seems to have had oil changed regularily after that. I noticed that the brake fluid and PS fluid is rather dark and dirty looking. I would like to flush these and replace with new fluids. Is this a normal DIY procedure on the Disco for someone with good mechanical knowledge? Anything unusual about the procedure or the materials needed?

I also want to drop the transmission fluid and replace the filter, etc. Would you folks suggest I could also do this as I have done it before on my old Suburban.

Thanks,

Chris

search 60 K service. Mike has made up a great list. Also, you don't nee to change the tranny filter if it has been changed once.

 

Here is a list to work from.

This is the parts list for a 60,000 mile service or a high mileage used truck, the way I do it.
1 Oil filter, K&N 3001
1 Air filter
6 Qts of engine oil
12 Qts of ATF
7 Qts of 80/90W gear oil
2 Qts of Brake fluid
2 Qts of synthetic Power steering fluid
2 Gallons of OAT, orange coolant
1 Bottle of Lucas Power Steering additive
1 Bottle of Lucas Transmission additive
1 Can of Spray Carb. Spray
1 Can Of Brake cleaner
8 Spark Plugs, I use Bosch Platium Plus 4's
1 Set of Magnacor 8mm plug wires
1 Serpentine belt if not yet replaced
2 Bottles of SeaFoam


60,000 Mile Service or Major Service for High Mileage Used Vehicle just purchased
Bleed the brakes
Flush and change the power steering fluid adding one bottle of additive
Service the tranny adding one bottle of additive
Flush the coolant system
Do an engine flush before changing the oil

Hopefully I didn't leave anything out.

 

Thanks Mike, "you be the man" as they say. I had an Isuzu Trooper '86 T. Diesel and I became a Lucas fan there. Seems like an excellent lubricant and a couple of million truckers can't be wrong.
