Your first question, Alpine manufactures the CD Changers.

What year is your rover???? Go to http://www.edmunds.com/products/maintguide/index.html select your vehicle. It is pretty accurate.

As a matter of fact, the oil change if you follow Edmunds for my truck is $46.42 I paid $49.42.

I went to Circuit City a few weeks ago and they actually stocked the replacement Alpine magazines that would fit my changer. It was right at $30 for a 2 pack.

Pedro / Mike Z...thanks guys, it's a 2000. the Edmunds guide doesn't include half the stuff the owners guide says to check....what's up with that?

I got my 2000 LR Disco at 58k and had a ton of questions too. I was lucky enough to get a hold of an owners manual on eBay since mine was missing.

This weekend I am going to head over to the Land Rover Centre and have them pull the maintenance records for my truck and find out what I need to catch up with. So far everything has been tiptop.

Did Dave mention what year Disco he bought? My '93 RRC and '94 Disco with factory CD changers are Pioneer units and use the same mags as my home player.
