After a while of searching for a replacement for my 2003 D2, I recently pulled the trigger on a 2006 HSE LR3 with 83k on the clock. I've thouroughly enjoyed my Disco, but wow, what a difference in on-road driving experience.

I'm putting together a list of fluids, filters, etc to inspect and/or change.

The LR dealership record transcript provided by the PO indicate "completed LR3 75,000 mile maintenace," but no details on what that entails.

What is included in this service? Specifically, do the dealership service departments do the Transfer case fluid change at that time?
Transmission fluid/pan/filter? (i note pan is still plastic)
Differentials?

Also, is there a "RAVE" pdf out there but for the LR3?

Thanks.

 

I believe that interval is

>oil change
>air filter
>cabin air filter
>transfer case fluid
>both differentials fluid

Transmission is only by customer request/complaint, otherwise they say its a 150,000 mile item or "sealed for life". That service probably was not included.

ZF (trans manufacturer) recommend 75,000 miles

 

Things I'd consider doing:
1. Tranny fluid
2. BG treatment (including fuel rail)
3. Spark plugs (it's early but might as well)
4. Oil

....any consumables like bushings and such. Check coolant bleeder T; replace with brass one if not done. Check front diff breather valve.

 

Per records, BG service done. Oil is due at 85k. Diff breather going on tomorrow. Got the IID BT already. Front LCAS done about 25k ago. Coolant T, PCV, MAF, starter, alternator, boot latch, parking brake module also changed by PO at one point in the life of the vehicle. Brake rotors and pads fairly new, and Dueler tires with only 2k miles...

Tranny filter and pan service is planned soon, and probably just do both diffs too since it doesn't take much to do so. Curious about the Tcase though

Will need a new driver seat bottom at some point and some type of roof rack. Overall, I was pretty pleased with the amount of things addressed by the 1st owners dealership.

 

Sounds like this vehicle was loved by the PO. That's great. T-case is due at 75k. You could do EGR for fun...or don't the plugs early. At some point I'd consider doing everything made of rubber (like coolant and brake lines). I did that in 2014. Just ideas...sounds like you're on top of it!

Thanks! Looks like diffs are on the docket.

​​​​​​When I cut the old diff breather cap off, the tube let out a big hiss.

 

My guess is your diff oil will look a bit like chocolate milk then

 

Im around 75k so i just did the plugs, belts, fuel rail treatment, thermostat assembly , cleaned maf and throttle body,right front hub bearing, i have the trans kit from lucky 8 sitting here

Previous was the transfer case and diffs, air and cabin filters, poly bushings when the first rubber one went, ball joints and all brakes ,rear driveshaft

an ounce of prevention pound of cure type thing

If you can do your work its fairly cheap, just use quality fluids having a baseline is nice
