Am I covered? - 3/18/2008 6:28:52 PM    DiscoII   Posts: 7 Joined: 5/25/2007 Status: offline went to get an oil change today at a shell quick lube - the guy sub-floor said i had oil leaking from my transfer case and main differential.  i got 44,000 miles on my 04 LR Disco II HSE.  i'll be taking it in soon for a 45,000 mile maintenance.  question is - would replacing both seals be covered under warranty at no cost?  seems like everytime i take it to the dealer, they charge me for stuff that i think should be covered under manufacturer's bumber-to-bumper.  just want to make sure it's not considered fair/wear and tear.  i know Discos leak - should i accept this as normal?  really not bad.  does not apear to be dripping on my driveway, but definite leak!  THANKS for the HELP!

I have an '04 with 41K and have had good luck with LR taking care of minor problems free of charge. I bought mine at an LR dealer used, so it came with their own extended warranty. It does provide some peace of mind for when the factory warranty runs out.

And if your intending to keep the vehicle past 60k miles i would get the extendid warranty. Here are the most possible cases of your vehicle that can happen and will happen headgaskets, abs modulator (expensive) wheel speed sensors, drive lines, oil pan leak, water pump leak, and dmtl valve are the most commen on your disco II (in reply to geotrash) Post #: 5
