Newbie: 03 Disco SE7

[jammadave]

Hi all. Just got the bug while shopping for something less expensive than what I was driving, and ended up with a 2003 Disco SE7 with 76k on the clock. I had driven damn near EVERYTHING during this car shopping as I had no idea what I wanted. The two most fun things I drove before the LR were a Jeep Wrangler and a Benz C-class, for different reasons obviously - the Disco is like both at once =0) I dig it.

Anyways, I see NOW that *maybe* I should have dropped a few extra thousand for a 2004 I looked at that was certified, but the 03 was cheaper by a mile and in a much better color I thought (charcoal, vs plain silver on the 04).

Is this the place where I can put my initial questions and such as well? Two days into ownership I got the 3 Amigos, and I had to take the truck in anyway for some of the We-Owe stuff that the dealership needed to do anyways, so back it went for the past day and a half... and I found out that this dealership (not a LR dealer) had turned my freakin' rotors (when i asked them to simply identify the squeal I had heard) and of course can't find any thrown codes for the amigos. I *knew* I had read that LR rotors were a nogo for resurfacing.

I want to take it to an LR dealer to get it looked over and bulletproofed to whatever extent possible, under the selling dealership's 2 month bumper to bumper and anything beyond that under the extended warranty I bought.

Thoughts??

Cheers
Dave

Since brakes are a saftey issue, you need to have some one measure your rotors. Rover rotors can't be turned and most likely your are now under minimum specs meaning the selling dealer owes you a new set of "Rover" rotors and probably a set of brake pads.
Don't wait on this, go nail them.
