Just hit 60k on my 2000 d2. Dealer wants over 900+ for the 60 k service. Pus additional charges for parts needed (ie. plug wires, belt etc,) WOW!
Questions is: I like to try to do the sevice myself, any advice for steps or procedures?Where can I get a good deal on parts and where can a get a owners manual for a D2 2000?

One other question; I have the SLS rear shock system. What kind of after market shocks can I use for replacement? Are they air shocks? I don't see them advertised in any of the aftermarket companies/mags. Can I use EMU's and new springs?

Thanks in advance. I love this web site.

Rick,
Don't know about the DII, but you can find an in depth 60K service procedure for the D1 at http://www.d90.com/~daveg It's bound to be get you going on the right path anyway :-) I believe he also has a great section about putting installing oil plugs for the swivel pin housings on a DI. May be the same on DII, not sure but its worth checking out.

Rick, your rear SLS springs can be replaced with coils if you like. I've yet to see aftermarket air-bags but I'm sure they are out there sold for RV's or another application. I think the OE supplier for Land Rover is Good Year but I could be wrong. RoverTym also makes very good SLS-spacers if what you're looking for is a lift. As for shocks you can go with OME in the rear but only with the spacers and I would also look into longer brake lines and ABS lines if you plan on running in extended mode with the SLS spacers.
