Been having fun servicing my Disco II lately..
On to the cooling system...Would like to change the coolant. I figure I have 2 choices...follow the procedure in the manual. Doesn't look too bad..other than proably making a mess with the coolant...
Or ...use the transfusion machine I have access to (I am in an auto mechanics class). I have used the machine before on my chevy truck and it works awesome! Just curious if this would be a good method to use instead of the drain/flush/fill method...
Second issue is the drive belt is pretty worn out..needs to be replaced...The service manual says the fan has to come off..I have read it can be done with the fan in place...How hard is it to do with the fan in place...didn't want to deal with taking it off unless it absolutely needed to be done...or is it worth the time to take it off..
Should I replace the hoses/clamps/t-stat at this time (5 yrs old/92K mi)?
More service quesitons later..just tackling it one thing at a time..thanks for all your help
