Hey guys I have to help a friend from law school with her 2000 Discovery 2. Truck has 103,000 miles on it and needs all the fluids changed, new belts, brakes, etc. Oil was just changed.

Anybody have specs on what fluids to get? She doesn't have the owner's manual. I don't know jack about this truck.
 
Hi All:

Google it!

I'm sure you can find this info *somewhere* on the 'web! Perhaps at a Land Rover enthusiast website/bulletin board.

Good luck!

Alan
 
Still need some help.
 
according to discoweb (1 min seatch of their tech links)..

Parts Needed for the tranny:

Rover transmission filter kit* (includes gasket and o-rings) ($72 dealership)
Dexron III ATF (8 quarts)
Tools needed:

Torx set (T27, T30)
Oil transfer pump (Pep Boys $15)
Allen wrench (8mm)
Socket set (universal joint socket useful)
Waste-oil pan
Skill Level: 2 / 10 (trivial)



looks like the tcase takes 80w90

Axles do too..
 
Use the following sites for tech info; discoweb.org , myrover.net , muddyoval.com, lro.com . Good luck , and I hope she's cute enough to be worth it.
 
Way, waaaaaaaaay worth it. Thanks all!
 
hey all. I'm a rover guy looking to do an FZJ80 axle swap...so I may need help from a yota guy soon enough.

The tools are posted above already.


Here is the dealer checklist I used to do mine recently. This is a bit overkill, but what I would do is open up the engine and clean the carbon out...it gets real crapped up after 100k mi. Also, I just use 75w-90 gear oil for the diffs/transfer case...they aren't that picky.

If she needs a ton done at 100k, I'm assuming she didnt do much at 60K...a major service:

Exterior

Add 16 oz Land Rover Fuel Conditioner (LRN5010)
Inspect wiper blades
Lubricate door locks, check straps
Lubricate hood latch and safety catch, fuel door hinges
Replace Alarm handset batteries
Interior Check parking brake (Adjust if necessary)
Check seat belts

Under Hood

Inspect coolant hoses
Inspect radiator and AC condenser
Check power steering fluid level/ACE fluid level
Clean battery and terminals
Inspect serpentine drive belt
Change brake fluid
*Replace air-cleaner element
Change engine coolant
*Replace spark plugs

Under Vehicle

*Change engine oil and replace filter
Perform body corrosion warranty inspection
Inspect tire pressures, condition and tread depth
Inspect brake pads, calipers and discs
Inspect exhaust system and heat shields
Inspect brake lines
Lubricate drive shafts and U-joints
Inspect steering rods, joints and dust covers
Inspect shock absorbers
Inspect suspension links and mountings
Inspect trailer hitch attachment bolts for tightness
Inspect wheel speed sensor and height sensor wiring
Inspect fuel and hydraulic lines
Change transfer gearbox oil
Change transmission fluid
Check front and rear axle oil level
Service SLS filter (if equipped)
Record performance of Service in Passport to Service



I'll post a pic of all the stuff I grabbed for this....all of which is found at the local auto shop. (note...some of these containers are half empty from previous maintenance...not quite this much is needed.) (yeah yeah....bling iridium plugs..) *edit*--I guess I cant post pics..if you want one, PM/e-mail me.

hope this all helps
