New Disco 2 owner, long time admirer

Thanks for the input everyone. Got it home this morning and man did it use gas! Had P0102 and fuel trim evels maxed out. Remedied that work a MAF that came with it.
Stopped by British Boneyard and picked up a set front rail crossbars for the basket, and ofcourse some other misc parts. Mounted the Thule bars and it's ready for the RTT once I can get some help loading it up there. Turns out both my current baskets are to big to use with the tent, so I'll have to either cut one down or find one around 30" or less.
Cluster bezel was busted so I replaced that and now I need to diagnose the driver's window and door lock inop. The radio stopped all sound on the maiden trip home too, so I figure it's the radio or the amp, so that's next on the list.

Yesterday I made a long reply to this post thanking everyone for their input and updating on the new purchase. Now I notice that it never went through!
Here it goes again in short version:
Got home with the new purchase and overall happy with it so far. It drove pretty nice, but was sucking down the gas horribly. PO had installed a UltraGuage and I saw that both PT and FTFT were maxed out at 25% and setting code P0102. Made it home and unloaded all the extra parts that I got with the truck and found a used MAFS. Installed it fixed the issue. Just have to fix the three amigos next. I stopped to see Randy at British Boneyard on the way home, it's only 2 mi from my house, and picked up the crossbars for the front roof rails and a replacement inst cluster bezel as well as a few odds and ends. Put it on the lift and wad disapointed to find the rear frame has a bad rust hole on the pass side bottom of frame right at the hoop. A small hole in the inside of front frame at the catalytic converters on each side. Overall it was pretty good underneath as the PO has replaced many things in his 5 years of ownership. The Watts link is wasted and I needs replaced asap too.
She's home!
