Default WOOHOO...picked up the Disco today!!!

Well all i can say is AWESOME!!!! picked our new to me 2000 SE7...full load...ACE, sport package etc...thanks for all the help and input, this is a great choice!!!!! Had to drive her 200 miles home so i was able to enjoy it on the highway....

Now i just need to take care of the power steering pump wine....will give Mike's trick a shot.

One question...can the service engine light be read by a generic scanner or does it need to be a test book? truck drives/runs fine but the lights on and the guy i bought it off of said they tried to fix it a couple times to no avail (not sure if it was a LR dealer or not though)

Thanks, Dean

Dean,
Glad to hear you got your truck, time to get to work.
Yes most scanners will read a code but not clear them.
If you are going to tackle the p/s noise, might as well do the ACE at the same time. So go buy 2 bottles of Lucas p/s additive and 4 qts of vovolines synthetic p/s fluid.
By the way, how many miles on her.
When you get a chance go by the dealer with your vehicle regestration and have them give you a print out of your vehicles options, recalls and radio code.
So when you going to post some pictures?
Mike

Don't do the dealer for toys, not much of a selection and too pricey. Just for shits and giggles take a look at the ultimate toy store, just don't get crazy yet there are lots of options.

If you are married, don't tell your wife you got this from me.
Do me a favor and crawl under and look at the fronty drive shaft, specifically the doble cardon set that hooks to the t/case, see if you can see grease fittings on those joints?

Dean,
Great looking Disco, I can see you are going to have some fun with this one. Do your self a favor and remove that rear step before you tear it off one weekend and ruin your first day off the road.
Good Luck,
Mike
