This is just a little venting of my fear lol.
As you know life takes it's turns and I am having to relocate. Unfortunately due to circumstances all I have left is my Disco to make the trip.
It scares me to death. Normally I would never take any trip in a vehicle I hadn't gone through and new wasn't 100% ready (not counting Iraq or Afghanistan, some of you know what I'm saying).
Took it to the dealer and so far the only codes they are pulling is for both down-stream O2 sensors and a burned out light in the dash, these can wait for a while.
They also helped located a few issues I fixed.
In the last month and a half have replaced the Air Intake Gasket (OEM), both Valve Gaskets (OEM), Steering stabilizer (Old Man Emu), and a new set of tires (BFG's).
I still have to replace the coolant over-flow (its cracked underneath and leaks intermittently) but doesn't over heat,
New set of plugs and wires, install new cooler-opening thermostat, and change oil one more time (possibly go to 15-40 weight).
What I think is needed but may have to wait.
New shocks (OME) and possibly springs (OME).
A snorkel (for cold air induction).
And.....a tow truck lol.
Did I mention I'll be towing a trailer?
So any way guys and gals....wish me luck and please add anything you think might help.
i.e. Suggestions, jokes, and prayers. If something catastrophic happens.....I'm screwed.
Thanks for letting me get this out there.....sometimes it's just needed.
