Odd. For the past week there's been a new black Ferrari FF parked on the street in front of the apartments at the end of the block. Looks to be a blonde who drives it.

.....I hate german engineers......they obviously designed the Disco 2 as a way of getting back at us for winning WWII....

Oil change....oooh a nice little removable port in the undertray for the oil filter.....except if the vehicle isn't perfectly level the oil goes all around the port.....and you can't actually get the filter out without turning it sideways to clear the sway bars.....

spark plug change.......fuch....I'm bloody, cursing and trying desperately to not break a plug boot because the freaking coil is so buried you can't get to it without removing the entire intake manifold....

And the schmuck I bought the truck from had way to hot plugs in it so I decided to compression test each cylinder to make sure all was good.....All in spec....
Oh and he was running Mobil 1 5w-30.....When the manual calls for conventional 10w-40.....

I got my Rover on the premiss that if Top Gear could make across the rain forest with one, it would survive a few Oklahoma winters. So far, so good. If the A/C worked better I would fix it up. Especially since one of the biggest Rover junk yards is here in OKC.

Stijn!!

Amazing weather today. It is still 70 degrees. The high was 77 today. I had the AC running in the car. We took the dogs on a walk at the park. We all got hot.

Honestly, I'm quite happy with the Disco....The plugs just sucked, quite hard to get to without removing all sorts of stuff....tranny flush should be quick and easy.....

Honestly, i can't believe how well it was running with the plugs that were in there

It's been too long, the only thing I know about spoon feeding is the Feds bought up a whole bunch just before the EPA took the lead out of everyone's pencils. They couldn't turn lead into gold so they are trying to make it just as expensive.
