Default New Disco II Owner, very exciting!

Hi,

My name is Ben, I have just purchased a 2003 Disco with 69K miles, it had the thermostat replaced but sounds great. Its a gorgeous truck, but I got a great deal because it does not come with Sunroofs or Jumpseats. The dealer is installing a Tow Hitch, and hopefully step rails if he can get them salvage off a rolled 04 he has, and throwing in Thule rails, although I want to get a more serious rack system once I do some research. I have a good bit of experience restoring a CJ-5 jeep a few years ago and keeping an old M3 in good repair over the last few years, so I love to play with cars and look forward to contributing to the forum!

Questions:

Is it impossible to install aftermarket Sunroof/Moonroof in a 2003 Disco?

I want a roof rack that is versital (can carry long stuff, ie. Kayaks, DN class Ice boats packed up, perhaps dock with standard ski and snowboard Thule type attachments), but is more heavy duty, sits lower, looks tougher and maybe has a small cage to put loose stuff, and could accommidate a few lights, any ideas?

The Rover sat for a bit and now has a quick sharp squeak right as it brakes. I only drove it down the block and back, do the rotors just need to scour off the bit of rust that has come from sitting for a few months or is a issue that needs to be resolved with the brakes?

Any insight for an undercoating?

I use Royal Purple 30 Weight in my BMW, what is the best for a Range Rover?

Anything I should be doing on the regular with Maintenance that I wouldnt know off the cuff?

Thank you again!

Best,
Ben
