Replying to: discooilpump (Mar 11, 2008 5:45 pm) If you all go to www.landrovertechinfo.com, you can pay $14 for a one day access to the site and download all of the TSBs and Recalls for any one Land Rover model. You have to sign-up for the site and wait until you receive approval, but it's worth it IMO. You can also pay a bit more and get monthly or yearly access as well as acccess for more than one vehicle. I found this very helpful in determining the effort involved before I buy an '03 Disco II. Trying to work things out with my current service rep to see what would / would not be covered by LRNA prior to my forking over some hard earned cash on an '03. I've read quite a few horror stories about the oil pump issue and really don't want to get stung by the same issue. I'd rather pay to have the pump replaced/fixed prior to it seizing the engine.
