Default Winterizing: What to do?
This will be the first winter for my 04 Disco II SE, and just wondering what needs to be done before winter comes.

On my to-do list:

New tires (5)
New battery
New brakes
Service engine

Anything else I need?

How long have you living in South West MI?
Do the same thing to your Rover as you would have any other car you have owned.

As long as your maintenance is up to date there is nothing to do other than buy a car charger for your cell phone.
