Hello everyone My name is Tom and I just moved to Richland from Wisconsin with my wife, 1 year old, and Wolfhound/Dane mix. Im originally from CT but Ive slowly moved west over the past 10 years.
I drive a 98 Land rover Discovery, which didnt like the trip very well. Id like to come wheeling with you guys but first can anyone recommend a good mechanic? I can do most things myself but Im not sure Im up for tackling a head gasket and a few other major things...

Welcome. You might check Allied down behind Overturf, or Simonson is Pasco. They both work on Euro stuff.

Welcome, and x2 on Redline!

Building a capable off roader is easy, building a street legal one that you can wheel and then drive daily is the challenge...

Forgot about Redline! Yeah, if that's still Mike, he's good. My kid worked for him when he had the shop at the "Y".

Thank you guys, I'd like to have someone who could use some cash on the side fix it, the least expensive the better. I'd do it myself but I'm a little intimidated about tearing my truck that far apart. It's a really easy truck to work on, it's an aluminum block Buick engine that Land Rover bought out so its nothing special, no computers....
I talked to the guys at allied, they were really nice and helpful. I just need to sell my camper (if anyone's looking for a nice pop-up let me know) or save a little more and I csn get the work done.
I'm still thinking it needs a head gasket job and I think the freeze plug is shot and that's where the coolant leak is coming from.
