    advice on buying a 2006 RR sport

    Thanks for all the info guys. How would I know if it is a LUX SC? I pulled a carfax and it just states Sport HSE. If it is not a LUX SC, what am I missing? The ones with the rear locker.......how would I know if it has it? A special button somewhere like on a toyota? If I purchased a...

    advice on buying a 2006 RR sport

    Thanks for the advise guys. Offroading is really not an issue. Back in Feburary, I sold my jeep, street bike, boat and my disco all to buy a D-90. My wife and I have a combined income of less then 70k per year so maintance always is a factor. All the wires scare the poop out of me. We...

    advice on buying a 2006 RR sport

    Hey guys, My wife and I set out to find her a low mileage and clean 2004 Disco. However, we got discracted by a beautiful RR sport. The price is fair and the deal on my trade in is acceptable. BUT!! Is this a good year? It seems like there is always a certain year to avoid with anything...

    DII intermittant no start

    I agree. This happened with my wifes 03 Disco. The crank sensor is the only sensor that will not throw a code. It always started fine when cold but would sometimes not start hot, let it cool and it would start. good luck dude.

    car infrequently driven - how often for oil change?

    I change the oil in mine every Christmas. Thats about 2k miles on dino oil. However, I do start it and let it run for about 20 min. about twice a month. Im not saying everyone should do this, however it works for me. I have another car that I have been doing this with for 13 years and have...

    new tires....quick stupid question

    You will always get different answers when it comes to tire psi. but I gotta ask..... why would you run more in the rear?? I have always run more in the front since thats where the weight is and it is responsible for most of the stopping and all of the steering. I ran that exact tire for a...

    Viscous fan nut tool size?

    I am away from my rover this week and would like to buy this tool before I get back home. Is it a 42mm or 36mm? I have seen many posts on both. The direction on the threads is normal correct since it has one belt? Thanks
