Hello! As the title suggests, I’m the new owner of a 2000 Discovery II – and thought I’d check in here and say Hello. Do you guys do this sort of thing? Seems like a pretty quiet forum compared to my usual (Rising Sun, Expedition Portal, IH8Mud (although I haven’t been on that one in a long time))
My first Landrover, very excited and pretty sure I know what I’m getting into 🙂
Cosmetically very clean, runs great, has a handful of issues…
3 Amigos – Intermittent. This will be primarily a second car, won’t need low range or HDC in the near future anyway, so this one is back burner for now
SES light – this is first priority – came on just a couple days after I bought it. Local dealership can’t get the computer to give them any codes, good or bad. Truck seems to run great, so I took it back and will think about this one for awhile.
Low range – won’t go into low range. I think the previous owner never engaged lo, so probably the lock out solenoid is bad or the linkage is corroded, or both? Like the 3 Amigos, not a first priority… Thinking I’ll get the kit to access the CDL and fix all this at the same time, then deal with 3Amigos…
That’s it mechanically – cosmetically the headliner is starting to get loose, but no tears, no dirt and not actually falling down yet. Drivers side headlight squirter is cracked (but works) and somebody replaced the factory headunit with some cheesy disco-lights Alpine unit.
Pics or it didn’t happen, so here you go
OK, I’m sorry, I don’t know why the background is green.
Welcome to the group. This board isn’t as busy as those others. I’d like to see it pick up some. Which is why I keep posting new posts and updates on my Rover. I’m new also.
A few weeks ago a couple of us went up and ran Slaughterhouse Gulch. We want to do more runs. My rover keeps getting upgrades almost weekly. Should be real solid before too long.
Hi Michael,
I like Slaughterhouse – but haven’t been there in awhile. I’d like to use this forum, but I the background in any thread I post in appears as such a dark green that I can’t read anything – I have to highlight each post to see the text….
I’ve tried everything I can think of in the Profile settings – so I may end up as a permanent lurker….
I just noticed this doing this to me this week.. Wasn’t like this last week. Not sure what’s going on.
