Priorities have changed, so it's time to let go of our nice 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II with a number of excelent upgrades, specially for the adveturer type.
YES, this car has over 230.000 miles. Let me tell you a little story. I bought the car from a gentlemen who said had bought the car with about 40K miles and drove it for another 185K. The car was in such good shape that I decided to purchase it regardless. I had plans to do a TDI transplant, so the high mileage of the engine did not concern me too much. Soon I was installing the expedition accessories, like rooftop tent, dual battery, etc. In the meantime I used the car wiht its original gas 4.0 V8. I have driven the car for about 10K without a single hiccup. So I wondered: why spend over $10K doing the transplant if it's working perfectly fine. You got my point. The facts: The engine has high mileage but burns no oil, no crankcase pressure, etc. Leaks the smallest amount you can think of. This is my 4th Disco and this is the one with the least leaks by far. Previous owner did a head rebuild at around 170K and a complete engine re-seal at 210K. Work was done at Miami Rovers, where the car is currently serviced regularly. Last service about 200 miles ago. Transmission shifts perfect. Low and High work as they should. Brakes are good. E-brake needs adjustment. The dash shows 4 malfunction lights. 3 of them have the same source, which are the traction control, downwill and ABS. One of the ABS sensors is bad. Computer does not tell you which one it is....ABS still works fine in 3 of 4 wheels. Check engine light goes on and off. O2 sensors replaced recently. In any case this is an emissions related fault. Again, engine performs perfectly fine. Electrical is near perfect. There is nothing I know of that does not work other than the horn (blows the fuse). Features a dual battery with automatic disconnect solenoid. Second battery is sealed AGM. All accessory lights work with original switches in the dash, no weird cutouts or funky toggle switches. This is also true for the rear LED worklights. Interior is in fantastic shape. Leather seats have no rips, tears, etc. Protected with all-weather fitted seat covers by Lucky 7. All controls work as they should. Dual sunroof, both working with their respective sunscreens. Central lock, courtesy lights, power windows (two motors with control boxes just replaced), etc all work. Stereo is factory with CD changer. Fully functional. Harman Kardon audio package. The body is in great shape after 14 years of service. There is no visible rust I could notice other than a 1" surface stain under one of the window's gasket. Tires are of an unknown brand to me, but full size and matching. About 65% thread left. As far as accessories: Full lenght roof rack purchased less than 2 years ago brand new by Voyager Racks (ex Rover-Racks). Model is "offroad". Light brackets welded at factory. This rack is massive xHD. Powder coated. Rack lights are Hella Rallye. Bush guard lights are Land Rover OEM Safari lights. Worklights are Rigid Industries LED's. Rear access ladder also by Voyager Racks (much sturdier than OEM). Also powder coated. Rooftop tent by Tepui tents in CA. This is my 2nd Tepui and is an excellent camping platform. Ive never had one single problem with the tent, no leaks, etc. Ventilation is superb. Built in mattress is very comfy (even my wife says so!). The tent has a telescopic aluminum ladder, which is attached to the floor of the tent and aids in the opening and closing of the tent. It also features a fantastic lower enclosure (annex) with it's own waterproof floor, windows, mosquito netting, etc. Look them up online. The model in this D2 is the Autana. Pictures of the rooftop tent deployed as well as awning with enclosure are identical as the one in this vehicle. Those pictures are from my previous vehicle (a 2003 D2 Drive Around the World series if you wanted to know. Yes, I miss that car!!!). On the LH side of the rack you'll find a matching awning from Tepui. I also have a full mosquito enclosure for this awning. Front OEM bush bar in good condition. OEM running boards installed 2 months ago. Rear OEM light protectors. OEM dog guard less than 1 year old. In the pictures you will notice an number of personal accessories that are NOT inculded. But I'm using this car almos daily, so I will not remove any of these until the sale is finalized. Again, this is a great vehicle that is ready to hit trails or go on an expedition right now. Fuel up and go! I have tried my best to represent the car in an honest way. No known defects I am not disclosing. FL clear title in hand tomy name. As far as conditions for this sale: No warranties implied or expressed. Bidders with less than 2 pos feedback contact me before placing bid. I will cancel bids until you do so. I can assist buyer with shipping. All related expenses to be paid by buyer. Car is located in Miami, FL 33133. If you want to see the vehicle and do a test drive do it so BEFORE you bid. Bring your mechanic, friend, etc, no problem. As a matter of fact I strongly encourage bidders to see the vehicle before bidding. Once you win the auction the car is yours! No time to do inspections then. $1000 deposit to be made immediately after auctio ends. Balance in cash, WT or cashiers check from a US Bank with branch in Miami, FL. If you want to use CC or Paypal to pay for the whole car check with me to discuss details. To arrange for a viewing or test dirve call me at 786-999-4811 Leo. Car is parked during work days in Key Biscayne, FL 33149. BIN price is attractive for this kind of package, and reserve price is very reasonable. Car is being offered for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early, as long as the reserve has not been met. Thanks for watching and happy bidding! |

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.
Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022
Thu, Feb 10 2022For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.
Jaguar Land Rover considering Mexican plant
Mon, Apr 27 2015Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.
