Recently purchased what I feel is a very good example of a late model Disco 2. I am fairly unfamiliar with the Discovery although I have a RRC and an older D90.

This truck has 100,000 miles almost exactly and is entirely complete, with no missing items or plastic bits or anything. The engine runs well, although there is a slight tick that seems to be coming from the back of the engine (more audible from under the car than from above with the hood open).

Initially, what do I need to look out for? What are the major weaknesses as far as daily usability are concerned?

Planning on changing all the lubricants and fluids and recharging the AC and seeing where that gets me, but I want to make sure I'm not driving some sort of ticking time bomb!

Thanks guys, photos for reference.






Also, does anybody want these rear light brush guards? Pay for postage and I'll send them your way.

Also, I replaced the right rear light, but this one is still functional (just cracked) if anybody needs it:

 

Start by reading the Write-ups, How To's, and MUST Reads (https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...t-reads-26352/) in the D2 write-ups, tips, and tech mods sticky.

Interested in the rear light guards. Pics didn't some through however (for me at least).

 

We need pictures

 

First get the Extinct thermostat mod. After that nothing will go wrong.

 

Pics are fine for me.

 

a bit hyperbolic, but still a good start.

do the PCV Mod also. directions are in Stickies.

 

i'm not seeing photos either.

 

yeah no pictures for me either. might be a browser thing? I would also suggest the extinct mod! I've read nothing but good things about it and am excited to put mine on once it gets to me.

also, interested in the light brush guards if others pass on them.

 

Pics are no longer showing up for me, but they were before.
