2003 Land Rover Discovery Se Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Hershey, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Garage kept 2003 Land Rover Discovery. Since new this has been a Disco that has been maintained in an extraordinary fashion by only two owners. The first owner has been an administrator at the Hershey Antique auto museum for the duration of the car’s in-service life. All schedule services from new have been documented in the vehicle's Land Rover service manual. The car has had careful attention to all usual trouble spots. For instance, the differential and transmission fluids have been changed before 60, before 90 and at 115k. New front drive shaft May 2014!! These are services ahead of schedule to keep the keep the drive line quiet, smooth and long lasting. The obvious issues are addressed as needed. The vehicle has of course had intake gasket service and does not drip or ooze coolant. The car does not use oil. The car receives frequent oil changes in the 3- 5 k range with lucas oil additives to keep the engine fresh and tight. The vehicle has never been in an accident. Recent upgrades in the last 4k miles, new steering pump. New Michelins. Pictures should show the spare tire to be new, never on the road and, the rim I do not believe has ever been mounted. The rims are in very, very nice condition. The rims do show the changing position of wheel weights, but the rims are not bent or gashed in any way. The leather is very, very nice. No known leather tears. There is a small snag in the rear trunk area on the back of a lower seat area. The only detractor in the car is a sagging roof liner over the passenger side door. This is common and you will find it in all Discos at this point in their life. The only real fix is to remove and recover(about 400.00) or replace (about 900.00) I bought the car in the fall of 2013 from the original owner as she had just inherited a BMW from her father. I have owned over 20 newer Rovers, from 2001 to current, but I did not have a Rover for the winter and this was daily driver. The vehicle was washed a minimum of twice a week over the rougher months and sometimes twice a day. When looking at the undercarriage, it is a testimony to the vehicles care. There is no significant rust. My last two Disco’s eventually needed some frame repair as they were not attended to by prior owners. This car is extra rust free, there is virtually no scaling under the car, it is just that clean. All service was done by Land Rover Harrisburg and by Trevor at British 4x4 in Elizabethtown, PA> Trevor will speak to anyone who might want an overall report on the car. The last oil change was done at Land Rover Harrisburg and the vehicle received a full green light(standard Land Rover check list done at any vehicle service) on all mechanical checks including front and rear brakes, tires and all other conditions. The body is ridiculously clean and any buyer will feel the car must have had some repaint to be this nice. Only the front left bumper cover was recently redone as I grazed an post while parking. The CD player is excellent as is the sound system. Many old Discos have cracking stereos and failed CD players, this car is top flight in performance. Lastly, around town I consistently pull at or just under 15mpg. Which, in the 6 discos I have owned, 4 from new, this is the best performing vehicle of the lot. Feel free to phone me 717-773-1711. The car is priced fairly. I have already declined 6k, thus low offers will not benefit a prospective buyer or myself. Best regards, Todd

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now
Mon, Jun 22 2015"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover moves closer to building Slovakia plant
Tue, Aug 11 2015Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.
