I just picked up a 99' Disco II with 10000 miles, brush guard and rear ladder. I have a few questions.
1) Although it has 'fog' lights at the bottom of the front end, how do I add the large circular lights on the brush bar? Are these called driving lights or fog lights? Either way, I'll need to add a switch and would like to do so in the hole on the dash
2)Any comments about adding a sunroof?
3)I have a factory cassette deck with cd changer control, and I want a CD player. How do I add a changer other than the expensive dealer one? Or, how do I change the head unit radio so that the steering wheel controls still operate?
4)I've seen people suggest additives? What additives should I use?
5)How often do I need to change my spark plugs?
6)Any other bits of advice are welcome!

first off - congradulations and welcome. you rlife will never be the same again.

1) you can add any manner of accessory spot lamps in the bursh bar - hella seem to be quite popular - but ipf makes some nice lamps also. just get a wiring kit with the lamps and a factory fog light switch and you should be in the game quite nicely
2) you can contact your local webasto honllandia dealer - they are oe to land rover - the model 6230 or 6320 is the largest you can install and is more than 2x the size of the factory unit. if you want to go nuts - they make a power slider unit 3'x4' that i think will fit in the rear.
3) not sure - with the s1 it's factory or retrofit and amp bypass
4) not sure on addatives - might be mostly placebo effect
5) new plugs every 30k is a good bet - ngk's are nice
6) go to synthetic oil - castrol syntec is my fav.
