I bought a 2000 Disco II about a month ago with 37000 miles. I feel I got a great deal on it, but there were some known problems with it when I got it, but nothing major (just maintenance issues). There was a service campaign sticker under my hood, so I contacted the dealership. They said it was in right before the warranty expired and covered the reset of the check engine light, replaced the fuel pump, Mass Air Flow sensor, airbox, air filter, and replaced a leaky seal on the differential. In addition, at the time of service it was recommended the owner get 4 new tires, alignment, and new brakes. I replaced the tires and wheels with a set of range rover 19" wheels. It doesn't feel like it needs an alignment, but I want to get it checked anyways. Land rover says it costs $250 for an alignment, is there anything special that needs to be done that it can only be done at the dealership.
Also, what are my options for replacing the brakes? Roverconnection.com lists the parts alone at $512 for 4 rotors and front/rear pads. I am not sure if it needs rotors or not, but if I have to, should I stick with factory parts or upgrade to Brembo? I am brining it in for a recall (ABS module) next week, and I am going to have them do an inspection to recommend any service at the same time. So far I have had no problems, and it has only been 500 miles since the dealership said there was only 5mm's left on the pads. Any advice would be appreciated, I don't want to waste my money at the dealership if it is not neccesary.
