Specs on my "rig" I bought in December.
99' Land Rover Discovery II se7
1. Missing air bags for rear suspension (compressor and height position censor present, PO must have replaced them.)
2. Coolant leak
3. Breaks a bit "soft"
4. Sagging headliner
5. Crack in windshield
6. Front bumper crack/ "hanging"
7. Mismatched tires (but good tread)
8. Replaced Crank Shaft Position Censor.

All in all, well pleased and excited to be the owner of a green oval, can't wait to see what it will do.

 

Welcome. Please check front drive shaft, if still oem style with no grease fittings on double end, you risk failure which breaks the shaft and allows it to beat hole in transmission. Also, the heat gauge cannot be trusted, it will stay at 50% from 130-240F. Use a scanner or Ultra Gauge for accurate temps. Coolant loss is serious.

 

Yes, problem umpteenth, (possibly original) but definitely the an OEM style front shaft (no lube nubbies )

 

Here's what it can evolve to swiftly. Rebuild article in our tech area, under $100, or replace or have drive line shop rebuild.

Also pic of scanner readings for two differnt heats, two different trucks, same gauge reading.

 

Do you know where the coolant leak is coming from? Bad head gaskets and cracked cylinders walls are common.

 

I would make it a priority to get the coolant leak fixed ASAP. I purchased an 04 back in November and the coolant leak had been ignored by the previous owner, it overheated on me when I got off the freeway, temp gauges weren't reading correctly, so I brought it into my mechanic, he showed me that it had been damaged from overheating several times before and I had to replace the engine. Used engines cost a lot more than changing your cooling system, I would replace the hoses, any cracked coolant overflow, and a new thermostat just to be safe. The best money you'll ever spend.

 

Don't be a fool and fool around with the coolant system. Fix it right and keep it full and bleed.

Yes - critical. Danger Will Robinson. You MUST grease the drive shafts. Must.
