Very strange happenings - 2000 Disco II 77k miles

[Meisterbr?wn]

So the weirdest two things happened today...

I am getting ready to do a bunch of preventive maintenance on my Disco/get it ready for some summer fun so I take it to Les Schwab to have the tires rotated, the underside checked out etc.

I go back a few hours later to pick it up and get this: they rotated the tires, checked everything out and the truck was FINE! It didn't need anything. No huge bills or "suggested fixes". Nada. "Here are your keys, have a nice day." Whatever that means.

But wait...

There's more...

I am sitting here at home doing research on what I want to replace during my little service campaign and decide to get out the ol code reader and see what's ailing the Disco these days (no SES light, I am just presuming something needs a fixin'). I plug it in connect up and download the good news. "Hmmm, this is weird. Must be a malfunction with the unit. I've never seen this screen before, what could it mean?" "0"

"Surely this indicates some catastrophic error."

I try again: "0". No codes, no nothing.

By some bizzare turn of events the Rover appears to be completely and utterly satisfied for the moment, plus a fresh tank of Chevron 92 octane!

Anyway folks, be careful out there tonight....not sure if it is a full moon or what but mine is sure acting strange.

Cheers.

Well, mine must have gotten all of the plague, and yours none of it. I just dropped it off at the dealer...need new head gaskets. Fortunately, I've got a warranty....

 

[Meisterbr?wn]

Ouch man, good luck with that.

I just had mine in for what I *thought* was a head gasket but turned out to be the timing cover gasket. Not that it was all that cheap to repair. I think the Disco God's are giving me a bit of a break.

Taking my truck to the dealer is like me going to the doctor...

I wait till the last minute when I am on the brink of passing out.

Now I know that this practice is not healthy for me nor my disco but, usually I can't afford what they tell me needs to be taken care of anyways so we'll keep goin till we cant no more.

Ohhh boy, you've done it now! The Land Rover gods have probably taken note and are sure to mess up your summer fun. Better take a lap top and service manual with you.

I've never experienced your LRs problem! Lucky me...
