Well, I put a deposit down on a 2002 Discovery today. Bringing her home on Saturday. I'm really excited.

So, what do you guys keep in your "Don't Leave Home Without It" kit in the boot?

Be sure to take your credit card, up the limit and have atlantic british on your quick dial. It is a very slippery slope my friend. Phil

To determine if mine has been rebuilt, when I look at the U joint, I'm looking for a small port sticking out either between the "limbs" or on one of the ends of the cross, correct? Sorry for the silly question. I've read tons of posts here about making sure they are greasable, but the how evades me.
