    Don't take this advice lightly. Some of us had to learn the hard way (i.e. the expensive way).

    03-04 air filter box perfect

    I know this was back in August, but if you still have the air filter housing I need one.....or at least the top portion which is broken. Thanks, Jordan

    Rear Rotor Replacement - Does Expensive mean Better?

    LR says I need new rear rotors, and just looking on Atlantic British there's a million options. 04 Disco II There are high performance ones, Genuine parts, and everything in between, but does it really make a difference? I rarely take my D2 offroad, and my goal is for them to work well and...

    Transmission Rip Off (04' LR Disco 2)

    Haha I wasn't suggesting suing over the $90....or even more money if he'd told me the rear main seal was shot and it would be another $100 or whatever. But a transmission needing to be pulled again in a month because it was incorrectly installed and needing seals replaced, etc. would cost more...

    Transmission Rip Off (04' LR Disco 2)

    I'm not upset about the charge, I'm upset it wasn't explained to me before. I'm also upset that he didn't just tell me that it might be a good idea to change the seals, which will be xx amount. I would've been happy to pay the extra to get the job done right, but just wish (since this was a...

    Transmission Rip Off (04' LR Disco 2)

    Haha I think its hilarious how everyone on here calls everyone else out. Funny stuff (especially on that DiscoMike thread). That said, I'll be sure to PM you next time before I post to make sure you approve of the words I use on here.....and hopefully pointers on how to speak in real life...

    Transmission Rip Off (04' LR Disco 2)

    well thank you all for your takes on this. Regarding the transmission slipping and the car rolling while in park, I found out from another shop that there's a cable on the drivers side of the trans which takes about 5 min to adjust (its outside of the transmission). I adjusted it and 5 min...

    Transmission Rip Off (04' LR Disco 2)

    So it IS or ISN'T their responsibility to tell me the seals should be changed? Seems you and Spike have different opinions in the matter. If either of you are shop owners, do you know legally what is required?

    Transmission Rip Off (04' LR Disco 2)

    I was one of unfortunate victims of bad mechanic advice who misdiagnosed my "chirp" sound and my christmas vacay ended in an explosion-sounding experience, a missing front DS and a huge hole in my transmission. After spending over $1,000 to have it towed from Utah back to Vegas, I ordered a...
