Disco II valves and preventative maint.

My Disco II just ticked over 94,000 miles. I'm very good with my toys, and want to make sure I'm doing all I can to take care of my DII. I have replaced the head gasket, water pump, ABS pump and modulator, brakes, and associated components, but other than that, haven't done anything else.

Should I have the valves adjusted at some point?

I'm also going to address the drive shafts sooner than later. Anything else I should be doing?

I wouldn't worry about the valve adjustment as they have hydraulic lifters, no need for adjustment:victory:

Some might disagree, but I would replace the front drive shaft with a newer style ASAP. Mine started to make noise at around 96,xxx, and my cousins failed at about 98,xxx, expensive failure, as opposed to spending $399 for a Tom Woods one.
