Evening, so I bought a 2000 D2 gs and came back to the land rover family. I know about all the pit falls and common faults, so what I'm asking is what upgrades/mods should I try and get done first. Thanks
 
Get the EKA code,
make sure you have 2 working keys/ fobs.
If you are going to play off road, then difflock is always nice.
Get yourself a nanocom or similar.
Cruise control is nice.
Give the chassis a clean and seom treatment.
Put some UV fluid in the coolant to make it easier to search for the leak when it happens.
Get a decent battery on it.
Cheers
 
Not so much a mod but preventive maintenance...
Depending on how the previous owner took care of the Disco 2, I'd add these items of things to possibly do:
- Do full inspection of hoses, bushings, battery connections etc.
- Change brake fluid and bleed brakes
- Flush and change the power steering fluid
- Service the tranny fluid
- Change the coolant pressure cap and thermostat
- Change fuel cap
- Change the oil and filter
- Clean the throttle body, IAC valve, PCV valve & MAF sensor (V8)
- Check/change both of the diffs fluid
- Change the transfercase oil
- Replace the plugs and wires (V8)
- Replace the air filter
- Lube all the drive shaft grease fittings
- Rebuild or Replace the front drive shaft if it only has 1 grease fitting

Cheers lads, I've done most of those things but the UV suggestion sounds worth it. Nanocom is on the Christmas list for myself as well hahaha
