After 10 years of carting my 4 girls around in a minivan I now own a 97 Land Rover Discovery! Very excited! I'll need some help in the technical area. It's been a long time since I've been under a car!

 

awesome, congrats is there anything that needs to be fixed? Are you planning on taking it offroad? Do tell. lol

 

Everything seems to be in good working order...The previous owner took great care of it. We took it out this weekend for some easy offroading. There is a large network of trails about 5 miles from our house all marked by skill level. I stuck to the 'easy' roads. lol.

If you just picked up a used LR what would you look at first in terms of maintenance or performance?

 

check out spike55s write up on all the things to check. It should be a sticky called things to look for when buying a D1 or something. As far as maintenance goes, some thing off the top of my head are
1 fuel filter
2. air filter
3. engine oil and filter
4. tranny fluid
5. front rear diffs and t case oil
6. coolant.
7 spark plugs
8. grease in the u joints nipples

 

but no issues is always great
