How to keep this passion alive?
#31
I bought my first one when I was 18 and took it to the shop for the first couple years because it was under warranty, than once the warranty expired I had to learn to fix it myself because it seemed like it was $2000 every time I took it in. I downloaded the RAVE manual and started learning. Mind you I had no mechanical experience. With the Rave manual and help from gracious members of this site I have done about every thing possible to my Disco's. I have owned 5 since my first one and keep a totaled one around for spare parts for the three I currently own. My wife liked driving mine so much she had me build her one and we sold her new mercedes. A downside to learning how to fix these things is now my sister bought one and I get to fix her's also. I guess I am saying, if I can learn how to diagnose and fix these things, any "mechanic" should be able to do the same. Also, tell them you are cutting their checks and shut the hell up and fix your Disco. J/K...Kind of.

I'm guessing the 98 is quite a bit easier???

Funny, that's what a couple of my mechanic friends have said too. My buddy who is a Rover mechanic actually said, "It's not ticking, that's just how old these old Disco's sound...as long as it doesn't get worse, keep driving it..."
