What the hell is up with this? Dealer quoted me a price of about $300 - something about clearing the emissions out? Is this something we can do ourselves? |

Hmmm. When I was last at my dealer, I asked what was involved in the 52K service. They told me it was simply an oil change for $49. They recommended that I do it myself. |

Amen to that. I can live with a light staying on and just saving the $300. More dealer BS. |

My light hasn't come on as of 53k+ miles. Could this be a problem? |

The "Service Engine" light is easy to turn off. Assuming the D2 and D1 are similar. I did this on my D1. The emissions reminder box is located in the passenger footwell behind the kick panel. It is a red square box with a multiplug connected. Lift the box straight up, it is on a small metal hanger, disconnect the multiplug, and you will see a Land Rover Sticker on the top. In the center of the sticker is a hole (hidden initially). Use a straight piece of wire and gently push it into the hole. There are two pieces of metal that form a circuit. The straight wire will temporarily break the circuit and reset the "Service Engine" light. Hook it all back up and make sure it is out (Start Engine) before reassembly. |

On mine, the little brown box is beneath the passenger seat. I use a little pocket screwdriver to make the connection as it works far better than a paper clip. |

How about the 45,000 mile service on DII? I hear it is changing the serpentine belt, oil change and then general fluid check/fills etc???? |

yea they replace it at 45K - my serpentine belt is cracked but they said that is normal - just had the 37,500 done. They supposedly measure number of cracks per inch. I bet these would last alot longer but probably a precautionary measure. How easy is it to do your self? I don't own a torque wrench. |

I just realized, Blue doesn't have a picture of the box! So there is part of his truck he hasn't photodocumented! |

and I just realized that this thread is about a D2, not a D1. So ignore my advice! |
