I bought this navy blue Discovery in Orlando, FL. with 26,000 miles on it over 10 years ago. It currently has 109,850 miles, but the engine has only 62,000 (see details below). It has been upgraded substantially during the time that I have had it. You will see below that I have WAY over spent on this truck, but it was intentional and has always been a hobby that I enjoy and I am well aware of the value and following of these vehicles having owned 2 of them in a row since 1999.

Factory options: 5 disc CD changer, dual sunroofs, 18" alloy Hurricane wheels, automatic transmission, all time 4-wheel drive, ice cold A/C, full leather interior with power seats, keyless entry, roof rails, fog lamps, rear wiper, cargo bins, multiple 12V ports and original Land Rover owners manual, tool kit, tool kit bag & wheel lock case.

Upgrades: Installed a 4.6 liter V8 with 62,000 miles from a 2004 Discovery ($5,000) by C&H Land Rover specialists in Orlando, FL., Brush guard with dual Hella lamps ($900), 2-1/2" Old Man Emu lift kit and brand new shocks ($850), 32" Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires ($1,250), LR wheel lock kit ($145), heated seat kit ($179), rear hydraulic step ($129), 3M arctic blue camouflage body wrap on roof ($650), LR rubber floor and cargo mats ($300), new window tint ($200), tow package wiring harness ($100).

Recent work: new brakes, new hood latch assembly, new full rain gutter system replacement, new A-pillar cover replacement on drivers side, new B-pillar covers replaced on both sides, new headliner and sunroof replacement (plus clean out of roof drains), recent oil & filter change, rotate & balance of tires, new wheel alignment, new steering wheel horn buttons, new wiper blades, new LR center hub caps, new LR key fob for keyless entry (also have hard key spare) and new driver side window regulator. All of the items listed here have completed within the last year with costs exceeding $3,000.

Work needs: The steering wheel has some wear at the 12 o'clock position and the steering wheel volume control button needs to be replaced. There is a split in the passenger side front leather seat that is along a seam, and another split that is not. The paint has some minor fade on the drivers side door sills, but I was told by a local paint shop it can be buffed back

The truck has been used as a 3rd car for all of its life. The overall condition of the truck is very good, with the mechanicals being considered excellent and no accidents. ALL repairs have always been completed with genuine OEM Land Rover parts. It's a unique vehicle and a real head turner when driving...lots of pics taken at red lights. Contact me with any questions.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
