Ok the usual to diy or not to diy!
Looking at servicing the Discovery's (both 1996-1997 TDI's) one is Auto and one is Manual.
I am fine with a spanner and service my cars and kit cars but the Disco seems more involved!
The main problem I have with garages is the trust element of them doing what they say they are going to. I have called a main dealer and talked about there service and they said its the full monty... then I said what about this or that and no thats extra!
I would like to do it myself but am worried that I wont have the specialist tools or the knowledge to find all the parts and be able to service them properly. Like I said I do it on my kit car but if thats off the road its ok these ones are used daily for work.
What jobs are required to be done? (I am of the mind that if its easier to do it and prevent trouble I will spend the extra cash to do so) Also there is no service history with either so although they run ok I would like to give them the FULL MONTY!
If you could list what should be done and any special tools required to do it.
