I am selling my 1997 Land Rover Discovery. Has a 300 tdi Land Rover turbo diesel engine with automatic transmission and LT230 transfer case. When converted to diesel the engine and all diesel equipment came from a real factory Land Rover Discovery diesel, so it doesn't look cobbled together under the hood- looks ''factory clean".
Runs great, drives, stops perfectly. The truck has 149K miles but the engine has only 98K miles--nothing for these robust diesels. A/C, power windows, stereo with satellite radio all in good working order. Has a tow package, 2 rear jump seats, nice tint on the windows, and this is a non-sunroof model, so you don't have to worry about them inevitably leaking! Best of all, it gets 25 mpg in town and 30 or better on the freeway.
The interior is very clean and tidy in this truck - Dash has no cracks, headliner appears to have been redone, all windows work, and the overall impression is very nice. At this moment, the great-looking seats are not hooked up to power though, so can not be adjusted. I am looking for the correct non-power seats however for the new buyer.
Exterior looks very nice too, but there are patches where the clear coat has begun to fail on the roof. It is difficult to see unless you get up high on a ladder, but you should be aware of it. It also looks like the roof rubbed against something in the past at sometime and made a scratch mark on the roof up near a window, again very hard to see and may even buff out.
Brakes work great, and this truck can be driven anywhere now, as it sits! I would even recommend a road trip home in the truck to 'discover' how great of mileage you can get in a Land Rover. This would also make a terrific off-road truck with gobs of torque. I enjoy it on the freeway now too and it would make an ideal daily-driver.
By bidding on this Discovery, you agree to the terms of my auction. The rules are pretty simple, you agree that you have read the entirety of my ad and understand what I have written. If you are the winning bidder, I expect a $500 deposit by paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. I will require the balance to be paid within 7 days at the most by cash-in-hand, check, bank transfer/ deposit / etc. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. I can hold the truck here for a reasonable amount of time if you want to come collect it in person or have a transport company pick it up. Speaking of transport, transportation will be the sole responsibility of the buyer (you). I can provide a pone # of a transport company that has great rates and seems to pick up most of the cars we sell, but you must contact them and arrange for the truck to be collected, and of course you are responsible for paying them.
In short, this is a great-looking, perfectly-operating and driving RARE correct Land Rover Discovery turbo-diesel conversion. The automatics are more difficult to find, and the job has been done right! Please message me or call with any questions.

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs
Wed, Jun 17 2015Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues
Tue, Aug 2 2022Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident. Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3. "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly. "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months. Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan
