Greetings all, I'm interested in doing work on the 98 Disco that I have myself. Problem is, I have no idea what manual or books to get to walk me through things. Unlike the majority of you guys, I have never worked on an auto so my skills are quite limited. I would like to perform some of the routine maintenance items such as draining the transmission, replacing my brake pads, etc. If you guys can point me in the right direction I would certainly appreciate it. I have access to a very good Land Rover mechanic (Alan @ North Texas Rovers)but I find it difficult to get my rig over there to him. Thanks! | ||

Antonio, Rovers North stocks the Haynes manual -- granted, it's for the 3.9 engine, and for the UK version, but the majority of the info you need is in the book; I have a copy, and certainly like having it as a reference. Very easy to follow, step-by-step instructions, and they'll tell you exactly what tools you need, or if there are less expensive alternatives to the factory recommended tools. | ||

Haynes Manual. Order through Rover websites (or Amazon? LR Workshop Manual. Find at the dealer, copy a friend's, or buy off EBay Also, look around here, and on other Rover websites. There are a lot of people who have done pretty much every repair, and there's a lot to learn without ever buying a book. That said, the books help.  Andy | ||

Probably worth the $20, but will only cover about 75-80% of your needs. Unfortunately, there's no good manual available to us for the 2003, so these things will have to suffice. Ray | ||

I know you're looking for 2003 shop manual but you might be able to get by with the 99-02 one for everything but the engine overhaul. I found the LR shop manual from Bentley at the following link. Anyone find it cheaper than $94? I'm probably going to order one. http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/isamerica/quote.jsp?clientid=mypartscatalog &cookieid=16K10MVKR&baseurl=http://www.mypartscatalog.com/&partner=isamerica&yea r=1999&product=Z1002-132217&application=000595481 | ||
