Hi. I am Zane, I live in Frederick MD. USA
I just purchased a 1999 Discovery 2 for $2995.
With that price it obviously has issues.
So I figure I better find me some help.
First time owner.

 

There are a number of threads and stickies for new owners that will introduce you to common issues and things to look out for. Consult these first. Download Rave manual, too.

Best of luck. Depending upon what kind of shape your truck is actually in, you may have paid too much (or gotten a good deal).

Best of luck,

 

I been reading and reading, loads of info here.

 

Hey Zane..Brent Here! I also live in frederick, MD I have a 2000DII with 84,000 miles and a 2010 Range rover with 30,000 miles. This is a great forum, with LOADS of info! Hit me up if you ever want to have a talk about rovers...welcome to landrover ownership

 

welcome to the madness!!!!!

 

Hello, thanks for the welcome.
I do like this truck, might be drivable tomorrow.
But chances are the O2 sensors will not be in stock.
And stop it from overheating. And...And...And...

 

have the headgaskets been done?

 

I really doubt they have been done.
If it starts running right, then that 'weekend' job
will be on the to do list.
I want a secure feeling when this hits the road.

 

the first thing to tackle is why its overheating. overheating is not good with these aluminum blocks, they dont handle it very well. are you losing coolant in the reservoir?

when u are ready to make it bulletproof
