Ok, so as it turns out I did find a 98 D1 that I'm going to be picking up tomorrow. Once I pick it up I am going to start into doing the routine maintenance on everything that I can...and then some. Found this list over on LRO and thought it was a pretty good start (obviously some of the things are up to interpretation):
1 Oil filter, K&N 3001 or Mobil 1- 301
1 Factory air filter
6 Qts. of engine oil
2 feet of 3/16th vacuum tube
2 feet of 5/16th vacuum tube
6 Qts. Of Vavoline’s high mileage Dextron 3 ATF
7 Qts. of 80/90W synthetic gear oil, 85W/140 for HD use
3 Pints of Vavoline’s DOT 4 Brake fluid
4 Qts of synthetic Power steering fluid
2 Gallons of OAT, orange coolant, also called DexCool
1 Bottle of Lucas Power Steering additive
1 Bottle of Lucas Transmission additive
1 Can of Spray Carb. Spray
1 Can Of Brake cleaner
8 Spark Plugs, I use Bosch Platinum Plus 4's
1 Set of Magnacor or STI 8mm plug wires
1 Serpentine belt
2 Bottles of SeaFoam gas additive
1 T/Stat
1 bottle of WaterWetter or Purple Ice
Hoses and belts, as necessary
60,000 Mile Service or Major Service for High Mileage Used Vehicle just purchased
Bleed the brakes
Flush and change the power steering fluid adding one bottle of additive
Service the tranny adding one bottle of additive
Change the coolant and t/stat
Do an engine flush before changing the oil
Do an induction cleaning
Clean the throttle body
Add fuel additive to full gas tank
Change both of the diffs fluid
Change the t/case oil
Replace the plugs and wires
Replace the air filter
Lube all the drive shaft grease fitting including the 2 slip shafts
Do full inspection of brakes, hoses, bushings etc.
Now, in addition to these things (which are going to be universal regardless of intended use of the Discovery) are there any other things I should go ahead and do that would be most beneficial for a rover being used off road? I have a pretty sizable budget set aside to go ahead and get this thing back in tip top shape, so any further input would be appreciated.
Also, which of these parts should I definitely go to the dealership for and which ones can I just go to Napa, OReilly's, etc for?
Also, what are some of the items that would be handy to have on some longer trips? Other than the obvious...anything that Disco's like to break/go bad that might be nice to have when a ways from civilization?
