2003 Java Black Discovery II



Clear title, never been wrecked, rust free, originally from Texas. Black leather interior, no warning lights or faults, no leaks, starts/runs/drives smoothly without issue. Engine was replaced at 158k due to a cracked cylinder liner. Due to many common issues with 2003 and 2004 model year engines the replacement engine was sourced from an earlier model year vehicle. Donor vehicle had approximately 100k and a very well documented maintenance history, but the engine was completely gone over anyway, any worn items and seals were replaced, all new gaskets, new head bolts, new water pump/thermostat/cooling system hoses, and the top end was rebuilt with a five angle valve job. Engine oil cooler system (not factory installed on 2003 models) was also fitted at this time. Of course all fluids were replaced, as well as transmission fluid and filter, and also the front drive shaft was upgraded to a heavy duty serviceable unit. Mechanically this vehicle needs nothing. It doesn't leak a drop and doesn't burn any either!

Includes the original jack, tool kit, wheel chocks, lug wrench, complete owner's manual set, and we also have the original window sticker. Original options included Java Black Clearcoat and Rear Air Conditioning. It also includes Genuine Land Rover heavy duty rubber all weather front/rear floor mats as well as cargo area mat. It has a Terrafirma lift kit installed (approximately 2") consisting of upgraded coil springs, shock absorbers, and steering dampener. Tires are Nitto TerraGrappler 285/60R18 with a matching spare. Vehicle has a stainless steel Magnaflow muffler, ARB Offroad winch bumper (no winch installed) and window vent shades. Front and rear oval Land Rover badges have been upgraded to the late model black/silver design found on the Range Rover Sport. With the fully operational cruise control (rare), it looks/sounds great and drives even better- on dirt or on the interstate. The black paint looks fantastic and gets compliments all the time, but it is beginning to fade on the very top of the roof.

Black leather interior with power, heated front seats and folding rear seats. The interior is in fantastic shape, the only flaw in the leather is one small spot on the driver's front seat, visible in the photos. Custom black headliner. Legal window tint. One touch power windows and sunroofs work perfectly. Please note the front doors do not lock when the button is pressed but can still be locked/unlocked manually and can be opened from the inside or outside without problems. All other door locks do function properly as does the remote locking from the key handset. Sony CD stereo with auxiliary input jack, and bluetooth audio/phone capability. Clarion amplifier installed in back for the rear door sub woofers. Scanguage II unit installed on the dash to provide real time monitoring of various ECU data (coolant temperature, etc) this unit can also read and even clear fault codes on the fly.
There are no issues with the ABS, Traction Control, or Hill Descent systems. The battery, tires, and brake pads/rotors are in very good shape and should not need replacement for a long time. This is our favorite Discovery II thus far, and we have owned nearly twenty! It has all the great creature comforts of the Series II, with none of the mechanical issues, and it is just as capable of going trail riding as it is getting groceries or taking us on vacation. We wouldn't even consider selling it if not for the fact our family is expanding soon and we want a little more room for kids. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please feel free to ask. It is also for sale locally, and we are currently driving it so the mileage may increase a bit- also the car seat shown is not included in the sale!

Land Rover wins legal battle over Evoque clone Land Wind X7

Fri, Mar 22 2019

Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata Motors Ltd, said it won a case in China against local rival Jiangling Motors Corp for making cars that copy features of Range Rover Evoque. Beijing Chaoyang District Court said on Friday that Evoque, whose latest model was launched in 2018, had five unique features that were copied directly in the Land Wind X7 built by Jiangling Motors, leading to widespread consumer confusion. The court ruled that all sales, manufacturing and marketing of the Land Wind X7 must stop immediately and Jaguar Land Rover be paid compensation. The two sports utility vehicles have a similar shape, with the roof and windows tapering from front to back, and near-identical tail lights and character lines on the side panelling. Britain's biggest carmaker had sued Jiangling in a rare move in 2016. Despite widespread and often blatant copying, global automakers generally don't take legal action in China as they feel the odds of winning against local firms are low. Also, a lawsuit can be bad for branding if the Chinese public think a foreign company is bullying domestic competitors. The new Range Rover Evoque will be launched in China in April 2019. Jiangling could not be immediately reached for comment.

Jaguar Land Rover output at two UK plants hit by chip shortage

Thu, Apr 22 2021

LONDON — Output at two of Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) British car factories will be temporarily halted from Monday, due to COVID-19 supply chain disruption, including a lack of semi-conductors, the firm said on Thursday. "We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating a limited period of non-production from Monday 26th April," the Tata Motors-owned company said. The COVID-19 pandemic has driven up demand for semiconductor chips for use in electronics like computers, as people worked from home, and suppliers are struggling to adjust, hitting output at many automakers. Trade flows have also been affected. On Wednesday, carmaker Stellantis said it would replace digital speedometers with more old-fashioned analogue ones in one of its Peugeot models, as the fallout continues. Renault's finance chief said on Thursday that car production fell by tens of thousands of vehicles in the first quarter as a result of the shortage. Output at JLR's third British car factory in Solihull, central England, will continue, the company said. "We are working closely with affected suppliers to resolve the issues and minimize the impact on customer orders wherever possible."  

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit

Wed, Jan 24 2018

When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.
