DI drive shaft - 8/3/2008 4:37:42 PM    AK Rover Posts: 656 Joined: 8/1/2008 Status: offline After reading a lot of post about the DII and the need to have the shaft rebuilt, I was wondering if this is something I need to worry about with my 97 DI. So far it has been a great vehicle around town but I want it just as reliable when it''s time to go off-road. And unlike far too many LR''s in the Denver area, mine will see off-road. _____________________________ 1997 Discovery LSE, factory brush bar, Hella 3000 lights, tail light guards. Post #: 1

Just grease the u-joints every oil change and you will be fine. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!

Did I make a good choice in getting a 97 DI as my first Rover? _____________________________ 1997 Discovery LSE, factory brush bar, Hella 3000 lights, tail light guards.

I also have a ''97, it now has 174k on the smile o''meter and I am still lovin'' it. You made the right choice. Send me a e-mail and we can talk more if you want. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!

RE: DI drive shaft - 8/4/2008 7:22:29 AM    AK Rover Posts: 656 Joined: 8/1/2008 Status: offline I was considering selling my 97 to a buddy and buying a 2002 D2 until I read that I would have spend another $150 minimum just to get the CDL which mine came with for no extra cost. Didn''t seem to make sense to me. _____________________________ 1997 Discovery LSE, factory brush bar, Hella 3000 lights, tail light guards. (in reply to Urban Panzer) Post #: 6

As soon as I get the title and a good used 4.6, I might (eek) be selling the 97... _____________________________ 97 Discovery SD-7 156K miles 04 Cadillac CTS 34K miles Good Oil number of posts does not = knowledge (unless it is me) (in reply to Spike555) Post #: 9
