Greetings, I just picked up my first ever Discovery the other day. Its a 2000 SE7, "Kinversand" with 130k miles. So far I'm loving it although I haven't been able to drive it much because I'm having the front drive shaft rebuilt. Also in the first week I have had to drop the y-pipe to weld a small leak. Fortunately these were things I knew needed doing when I purchased it.

A big thanks to this forum for helping me know what to look for when buying.

 

Lets see if I can figure out how to post a picture:

 

And it begins:

 

Welcome! Nice ride, really like that color. This is a great resource for technical help, just make sure to "SEARCH" before asking your question as there is a lot of information already here. Also check out the "How to" and "Write Up" section.

Glad to see another PNW-er here!

 

Welcome to the insanity, er, I mean the club.

You picked up a nice-looking D2. I don't think I have ever seen that color.

Cheers from a bit north of you!

 

At first I wasn't sure about the color, but it's really growing on me now.

I just finished dropping the y-pipe to weld up a crack at the flange. What a pain, I broke two studs, tried removing them with multiple techniques, and ended up having to drill it out and helicoil. That was a fun full DAY of laying under my truck. Oh well, its running great now, happy to have it on the road.

I also got a freshly rebuilt front drive shaft so I no longer have to be worried that its going to explode driving down the freeway.

Next up is the Grom Audio iPod adapter, the tape deck just isn't cutting it!
