    Spark Plug Job from Hell

    Heater Core

    So I've recently been noticing my coolant level is slowly dropping, but I can't spot any leaks. I then noticed that with the HVAC off and the sunroofs open, steam coming out of the vent to the right of my radio, and occasional steam from the windshield defrost vents. I talked with PT Schram...

    Warm Engine Temps

    My 04 Disco SE has been running pretty warm at idle lately. When I sit still long enough it gets up to 215 according to the scangauge, but never higher and it never moves the dash needle. When I'm driving, or rev the engine, it brings the temp down a bit, and on the highway I am between 193...

    What Oil do you recommend?

    I've been reading for a while and it seems that Rotella is the best option for my 04 Disco, however, for me to get rotella it would mean a 30+ mile drive to the nearest place that sells it (According to Shell's dealer listings on website). So, what would be the best alternative? Or where is...
