I have owned my Disco 2 for about a week, joined this forum and downloaded the RAVE manual shortly after that purchase, so I think points are credited there.

I now suddenly have a crazy interest in getting more intimately involved with my Rover! Therefore, I want to start learning through practice.

I did notice some trans slippage so I definitely want to "flush" the ATF and add some additive, as well as "bleed" the brakes. There isn't really rush, I'm trying to do the homework, get the parts, and know exactly how to do these things before ever approaching the car!

Would anyone try to explain these procedures to a complete beginner? I didn't see them in the RAVE manual.. Figured it was because auto techs knew this procedure and didn't need a manual. :P

Thanks in advance,
Matt (Intellius)

 

If you go to the write up section at the top of the page there are alot of "how to's" with pictures.
After reading through there ask away and we will be more than glad to help you.

Hi and welcome to the "get your hands dirty club"
here is a link to a post on changing the transmission fluid/filter
Did you figure out how to use cruise control yet :+)

Heck... I still have not figured that out yet. I actually just think there is something wrong with mine. Messed around once on the highway and have not touched it since!

 

Haha I was thinking about the cruise control earlier myself.
At first I thought it was just broken, but now I realize that it's just smarter than me. :/

 

you have to turn on cruise control by pressing the button to the right of the gauge which looks like a bridge over a highway......others have other suggestions as to what that symbol looks like...lol

most new LR owners think their cruise is broken....i did too

 

I used about 2 GAL of Valvoline Max Life ATF with my tranny oil+filter change. Get one of those hand pumps that screw onto GAL cans. Or better yet use a garden sprayer.

 

wait these trucks have cruise control????

 

Oh wow, that makes things ridiculously easy, I'm almost disappointed that I don't get to wrestle with it. :'(

I'm sure the challenges will come.
