Will post some pics soon. I bought a 2000 disco 2 off of a service manager for a Land Rover dealer. He bought it off of one of his long time customers. The engine had just been out and resealed before I got it. As a result I literally have a disco with 0 leaks. Amazing! Anyway Its not without faults. The passenger up stream 02 is bad. Seems to read sometimes but most of the time doesn't. The cargo door lock does the same. Seems to work sometimes and others no. I recently had the old style coolant bleed screw break on me. Luckily I smelled the coolant and pulled over before my engine coolant temp warning even came on from my scan guage(which I have set to go off at 213F). $113 later for the new hose assembly and some coolant and shes back on the road. I did have the starter go bad on me at probably the worst possibly time. Had 0 warning and it was a complete failure, couldn't even be rebuilt. It wen out on me on Portsmouth island in the NC Outer Banks. The tow cost me $450 and the starter $100 and I put it on later that week at my home. All the fluids had been done with records as well as a chassis greasing. On to the info. Oh, also needs a headliner, go figure. Will add to this as I see fit and will have some pic up a bit later of whats currently on the vehicle.

40" LED light bar installed-$100

Here it is when first purchased
Here is how she sits now
First real trip with it to Portsmouth Island in the NC Outer Banks.
Thought this was a cool shot. My GF whitney first waking up. The hood is open to access my inverter.
Got the windows tinted to 5% all around and a strip across the top of the windshield. In hind sight I would have probably gone lighter and maybe only gotten 35% all around
LED light bar install
Just put the bumper back on
Here is the LED Light bar installed.
This is one of the new set of tires that will be going on tomorrow.
Finally got the tires mounted and balanced and painted the roof rack and installed the said roof rack. The roof rack was a pain and I think it accelerated the fixing of my headliner. Will have to do that soon. So far no driving has caused it to rub, not even once. I still need to cycle the suspension. Some though to see if it runs then.
