Hi every one my name is Alexan and I am currently a 2004 Disco II SE7 owner. My Disco is in very clean and great condition. My Disco just made it to 85k miles (all inner city driving) and I want to make some changes to it. I am a little concerned about some of the parts that I have found. I am concerned because I don’t know what parts are quality or good for my car. I just want to give my car one major heavy duty tune up and make over now that I have the chance to so I don’t run into any problems or have to make any changes to it for years to come.


New Tires

Heavy duty rotors

Heavy duty brake pads

Heavy duty calipers

Heavy duty shock absorbers and springs

Heavy duty tune up parts


Tires: Good Year Fortera Triple Tread Size 255/55R18

Rotors: Brembo Sport Rotors Drilled & Slotted (www.brakeworld.com)

Brake Pads: Disc Italia Hyper Ceramic Brake Pads (www.brakeworld.com)

Calipers: A1 Cardone Brake Calipers (www.autopartswarehouse.com)

Shosck absorbers & springs: Discovery heavy duty Bilstein shock absorbers & land rover springs kit

I couldn’t find a tune up kit

Please if some one is willing to advise me on my situation I would really appreciate it feel free to email me at alexanputrus@yahoo.com or even call 773-640-2339

 

slow down.....
what about the drive shaft? have you had that rebuilt? what about the head gaskets? are you leaking any fluids? coolant/oil or both? check out Disco Mikes 60K service sticky under the disco section. You might want to throw some magnecor 8mm wires and bosch +4 platinum plugs in there as well... i would just do the maintenance sticky then work on from there.

 

none of the problems you mentioned thanks for the tips keep them coming

 

did you have the drive shaft rebuilt? or no? its not a problem until it blows apart and destroys the transmission and takes out the transfer case with it...

 

never rebuilt

 

well factor that into your list of things. if you want to rebuild it will cost you under $200. Or you can buy a new one from Tom Woods for around $320. The rear drive shaft also should be replaced.

 

If you get a chance can you tell me the exact name of both parts you suggested i should change as it is listed in Tom Woods website. Was just on his website little confused on which ones they are thanks
