If you've been looking for a clean and reliable Discovery with a complete service profile and distinctive features, this is the one!  I have been preparing this one for over a month and i am proud to offer it to the rovering community.  I believe this will make a GREAT 1st Rover, work truck, trail platform, reliable commuter or family car.  Read on:

SERVICE:

- The heads and head gaskets were serviced by the previous owner at the dealer about a year ago.

- brand new battery

- new master cylinder fitted

- new brakes fitted

- oil just changed

- tranny, transfercase, differential and hub fluids all just changed and serviced

- new fuel pump, oxygent sensors and mass air flow sensor

- new high performance STI spark plug wires, air filter and spark plugs fitted

- does NOT leave oil on the driveway, HOORAY!

- no warning lights of any kind illuminated.

- auto locks and alarm still function!!!

DRIVEABILITY:

This truck has been my commuter for the last month - 75miles R/T in gruelling LA traffic and it drives beautifully.  On the open road, it drives at 90mph like its on rails and the drivetrain is powerful and smooth.  All comfort options such as windows, AC and HEAT all work perfectly.  The clock and radio still light up - which is saying a lot if you know these things!!!

COSMETICS:

I have fitted a set of running boards and the rear lamp guards are intact and unspoiled.  Additionally, I had an EXCELLENT set of "Lightstone" coloured seats and have fitted them for an appearence that is distinctive and truley classy.  I have replaced the headliner and the interior of the truck feels clean, looks clean and smells clean.

Outside of that, this truck has been a pleasure to drive and I know it will last you for many years to come.  The registration is current, it has passed california smog with flying colors and the title is clean and in my name so there will be no paper work surprises.

Overall, i would say this truck is a B+ in the cosmetic department.  It is not a museum piece and you should not expect that.  It is clean, straight and comfterble with its share of dings and wear, etc from a life as a trusty servant!!!

PERSPECTIVE:

This truck has had over $3000 of retail servicing done and you have the opportunity to walk away with a whole lot of car for the money!  That said, as with ANY used car, you must be prepared to service it according to the factory requirements and as needed depending on driving style, conditions, etc.  If you have ANY questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask.  Now's the time and eBay even offers inspection services so the time to answer questions and be satisfied is now.  Purchase of this vehicle means you have been satisfied.  I am selling this as is with no warrantly - but as a fellow land rover owner and enthusiast, I have certain spares available so if, lets say, you get it and a switch goes out, or an alternator dies, etc within a reasonable amount of time, i will send what i have to you at my own expense.  I want you to be HAPPY!!!

I feel like i have represented this truck accuratley to the best of my ability but again, if you have ANY questions, PLEASE ASK!!!

Thanks, happy rovering, and happy bidding!!!!

to answer a few questions that some have had in common:

- YES - it comes with the land rover bottle jack and handle

- NO - it does not overheat AT ALL

- NO - there are no suspension clunks... actually, i forgot to mention that there are 4 NEW OEM SHOCKS all the way around

- "Lightstone" was a color originally introduced on the 92 Range Rover Classic LSE model... later introduced as a 98 Discovery LSE edition ONLY.  It is like a light cream.

Jaguar F-Pace SVR to debut this week at New York Auto Show

Mon, Mar 26 2018

It should come as no surprise that the folks back in England have been working on a hot new version of the Jaguar F-Pace. Today, just ahead of the 2018 New York International Auto Show, the British automaker confirmed that the Jaguar F-Pace SVR will debut this week. The new Jaguar I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe will make their North American debuts alongside the F-Pace. All we know about the F-Pace SVR is that it will be the fastest and most powerful version of Jaguar's best-selling product. We don't even have a teaser photo, as Jaguar Land Rover loves to play things close to the vest, so we're sharing some spy photos that we think might be the new model. Expect some version of JLR's 5.0-liter supercharged V8. We're hoping it's the 575 horsepower variant from the refreshed Range Rover Sport SVR. Expect 0-60 mph times in the low-4-second range and a top speed of at least 155 mph. The I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe both debuted earlier this month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The I-Pace is an all-electric crossover with an estimated 240 miles of range. The SV Coupe is a limited-production two-door variant of the full-size Range Rover. It's meant to be a throwback to the original two-door Range Rover Classic. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Editors’ Picks October 2022 | Electric trucks and some excellent SUVs

Wed, Nov 2 2022

This month sees a bevy of totally new or totally redesigned cars gain Editors’ Pick status. Important EVs like the F-150 Lightning and GMC Hummer EV quickly jump into the list, and they do so with authority, as all our editors love these trucks. The Range Rover is always a superb experience, and this generation proves to be no different. Plus, the new generation of Kia Sportage continues to surprise and impress. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in October that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 GMC Hummer EV The Four-Wheel-Steer system lets the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup m View 17 Photos Quick take: The Hummer amazes as an electric supertruck with its wild acceleration, incredible off-road capability, luxuriousness and epic utility. It's far from a "green" eco-friendly vehicle, but that's not the point of this technological powerhouse. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Raptor R, Ram 1500 TRX Pros: Stupid quick, tons of tech, off-road capability in spades Cons: Not efficient, annoying in tight spaces, price From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I don't think I've driven a more ridiculous vehicle this year, but that's sort of the point with the Hummer. There's a great argument against this sort of EV in that it doesn't live up to being an efficient and planet-friendly vehicle, but hey, that's not the point. The Hummer EV is a supertruck and wild technological masterpiece for off-roading in the same way that a mid-engine supercar is to track performance. It's not meant to be the EV everybody drives to work and back (mostly because few can afford it), but it serves as a line in the sand of what can be done with electric off-road trucks. This pickup rules, and if you can afford one, you're going to love it." Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder — "This Hummer revival is a showcase of technology and capability on the part of GM, making it an absolute blast to drive and a joy to use.

Jaguars and Land Rovers to feature in 007's Spectre

Mon, Feb 9 2015

James Bond may be more closely associated with Aston Martin, but Jaguars and Land Rovers have featured in 007 movies new and old. Skyfall, the most recent installment in the series, opened with Bond and Moneypenny ripping through the streets of Istanbul in a Defender and saw M being chauffeured around London in an XJ. And the upcoming feature Spectre is set to feature some of JLR's finest as well. While Bond himself will be piloting the new Aston Martin DB10, the movie will also feature a Jag and a couple of Landies. The Jaguar C-X75 concept, as we know, will be part of a chase scene against the DB10, now revealed to be set in Rome. But the movie will also include the new Range Rover Sport SVR (with what looks like some auxiliary lighting) and at least two Defenders modified by JLR Special Operations to "Big Foot" specifications with 37-inch off-road tires, upgraded suspensions and added bodywork protection. As you may recall, a couple of months ago a fleet of nine vehicles used in the film were stolen from a garage in Dusseldorf, including five Range Rover Sports. This is the first confirmation we're seeing of any of them being SVR models, or of the Big Foot Defenders being part of the mix as well. The scenes including the Land Rovers have already been filmed in Austria, and we're looking forward to seeing them all on the silver screen come November.

The Jaguar C-X75 will feature in a spectacular car chase sequence through Rome alongside the Aston Martin DB10. The C-X75 vehicles used in filming have been built in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering facility in Oxfordshire, England.
