    Is this winch enough?

    Is it possible that a milemarker 8000# winch could be enough to move a D2? I don't do serious off roading...just light trail stuff and I would consider the winch as an extra measure of safety. Would also like to use it to move a few small trees on my property. I just don't know how to assess...

According to him, the battery would...

    60,000 mile transmission service for D2

    If I understand correctly, the 60,000 mile transmission service requires the replacement of 8 quarts of transmission fluid, but not a filter change. If that's the case, is there any reason to drop the pan? Any thoughts appreciated.

    To do it myself or not

    My '02 Disco is ready for it's 60,000 mile service and my dealers quotes $790 for the privilege. Ouch. In looking over the Rave disc the most problematic procedure seems to be changing out the spark plugs. (Easy for some but it's been a few years since I've done it) If I do the service myself...

    clearing a fault code question

    My '02 Disco is displaying a "service engine soon" light which I think might have been triggered by a loose gas cap during a recent road trip. I was told that I could clear the code by disconnecting the negative post of the battery. Advisable to do...or not? Thanks, Mike F.

    Pesky front recovery point question

    I need to figure out if some sort of front recovery point can be fitted to a stock DII with a stock bumper. I know about JATE rings but assume that if you attach to them you will tear up the bottom of your stock bumper? I'm a couple of months away from adding a bumper with recovery points and...

    Front bumper choice and airbag compatability

    I just figured out that the ARB winch bumper I was just getting ready to order for my DII is not airbag approved. So, now I'm second guessing myself and wondering what the real effect of not having a compatible bumper actually is. Does it mean that the airbag won't deploy correctly in light...
