This is being listed due to a non paying bidder.  It was originally listed in early January but the buyer strung me along for a couple of months with promises and B.S. until i couldn't report him.  His loss is your gain, I guess,  I am pretty disgusted with the whole original sale, so if you don't intend to buy, then don't bid!!

For sale is my Land Rover Discovery II.  It has been my daily driver for six years.  I have added:

a Safari Guard roof rack with aluminum tread floor,
 steering guard,
G4 headlight guards
rear turn signal guards,
 heavy duty front tie rod with Disco I tie rod ends,
Great Basin front driveshaft (greasable),
Bottordorf winch bumper
Bottordorf  heavy duty ladder
Rock Star rear door interior aluminum tread plate

The good

I have replaced the radiator and almost all the hoses in the last ten thousand miles
I have replaced all the pulleys in the front in the last two thousand miles
It was largely repainted last year and looks great.  it does have one pretty large scratch in the paint on the front passenger door no dent.
All headlights, tail lights replaced at some point over the last six years and look good.
hood painted black in the center.  it was supposed to be flat black like the decal but is more of a satin black.
Tires, brakes all ok.  could use new rotors up front and the brakes are a bit spongy presumably due to not being well bled (there are two bleeders on each caliper)
starts right up. 
No rust issues.  surface rust on chassis and some other areas but no rust out that I am aware of. 

The bad

Reason for sale:  It is losing water slowly and number six cylinder is fouling out somewhat.  The problem just started two weeks ago. The service engine light came on and it started running rough.  i took it to autozone and they did a scan which showed an issue (vague) with number six cylinder.  I replaced the spark plug and it ran well and the service light went off---for about a day.  My best guess it the dreaded land rover coolant into the cylinder leak.  This is why it is listed as starting so cheap.  If you buy it and find out it is something simple dont tell my wife.  I assume the engine has serious problems.  It does start right up, runs and drives.
Headliner is falling down.  Assume sunroof drain is stopped up.  both sunroofs do work well.  I was going to strip off cloth and paint the fiberglass like a lot of folks do. 
various small quirks and issues related to being an old rover.  electrics are an adventure but mostly working pretty well. 


All the extra goodies are worth more than the starting price.  I have a camping trailer that i have used the Land Rover to pull only a couple of times but we are hoping to use the camper a lot more and needed a newer vehicle.  I also have a Series Land Rover project that is nearing completion, I dont need two projects. I will not ship this.  you must pick it up.    You might be able to drive it home if you watch the water and perhaps are prepared to change the spark plug in route but it would be at your own risk.  email for more pics if desired. 


 ADDENDUM:    A few things I forgot to mention  in the Description.

THE GOOD:  I replaced the horn buttons with a factory kit about three years ago.  The Disco II horn buttons are known to disintegrate with use.  They should be good for some time now.    I also replaced the drivers door window lift assembly last year.  They too tend to fail with age.  Should not be a problem, works great.   All windows go up and down without any problems.
I ADDED A DISCO I CDL SHIFTER!!  The 2000 model had the shifter knob on the T-case but no shifter.  Had a mechanic friend install a Disco I shifter.  I also replace the shift decal on the console so it is the right one.

THE BAD:  The plate that holds the electric window switches tends to sink in when the buttons are pushed.  not sure what is the problem.  Also, when CDL shifter was installed, the console was removed.  Upon re installation, the switches for the rear windows were reversed, so the right one operates the left window and vice versa.  Easy fix. 

The tow ball that goes into the rear receiver hitch does not go with the sale.  The receiver hitch does, of course. 

Just for the record.  I never off roaded the Disco,  never had any time for any fun!

 Another addition.  In case you were wondering,  the original buyer who non paid never came and inspected the car. He did not back out due an issue with the car.

All of the Bond cars of 'No Time To Die' (caution for spoilers)

Thu, Sep 30 2021

Note: The following overview of the cars in No Time To Die contains spoilers. Read at your own risk, or come back after seeing the film to make sure you caught everything.   No Time To Die picks up right around where Spectre leaves us. James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) are driving along in Bond’s restored and iconic DB5 in Matera, Italy. Things donÂ’t stay all that cheery for long in picturesque Matera, though. As is tradition in Bond films, the first car chase hits us with an explosion of action in what's a super-long opening scene. Fourth-gen Maserati Quattroporte: The baddies in the beginning are driving a Maserati and chasing after Bond in the DB5. Specifically, theyÂ’re in a fourth-gen Quattroporte, which feels right for a chase scene in Italy. Its squared-off looks are mean enough, and its Italian growl is a good background soundtrack to the DB5Â’s inline-six. In addition to the Quattroporte, the chase scene in Matera is home to a couple of the best stunts of the entire movie, including the arch jump done with a Triumph motorcycle seen in trailers — Matera is extremely hilly. Eventually, Bond and Swann find themselves in the DB5 again together, which is where the famous gatling gun scene from the trailer commences, but not before the bulletproof windows and body of the DB5 are thoroughly tested. RIP to the first-gen Range Rover Classics and Jaguar XFs that joined the Maserati in pursuit of Bond (here's a list of other Bond cars over the years). As the DB5 escape scene concludes, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a Ferrari from the 1970s. However, the view was far enough away that weÂ’ll need a second look to be sure of the exact model. Land Rover Series III: Next time we see Bond, heÂ’s fishing in Jamaica and driving around a blue Land Rover Series III. ItÂ’s yet another of the many Land Rover products featured throughout the film, and unlike most of BondÂ’s Aston Martins, this one doesnÂ’t seem to have any unique features. The other intriguing vehicle out of Jamaica? An old Chevrolet Bel-Air expertly and effectively piloted by Bond newcomer, Ana de Armas. Next up, we get a few shots of the new and still-not-for-sale Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine supercar (also seen in trailers). BondÂ’s old boss M is in the scene which appears to have been shot in some secret wind tunnel of sorts. Much to our dismay, nobody ends up driving the Valhalla in the film. Could it be a teaser for what the next 007Â’s car is?

Land Rover to build Discovery Sport at new Brazilian factory

Fri, Oct 31 2014

Looking forward to getting your mitts on a new Land Rover Discovery Sport? Well you should, because it promises to be a markedly better product than the Freelander/LR2 it replaces. Just don't assume it will necessarily be built in the UK, as just about every Land Rover has in the company's 66-year history. The new Discovery Sport (pictured above in Sao Paulo) will, of course, be built in the UK, at the Halewood plant where the Evoque is made and which has in the past handled the Freelander, the Jaguar X-Type and a variety of Fords. But it will also be assembled for local consumption at JLR's new factory in Changsu, China. And, according to the press release down below, it will also be made for the Latin American market at the new factory being built in Brazil. The new plant is being built in Itatiaia on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro and will come online in 2016. Once it gets up to speed by the end of 2020, it will have the capacity to build 24,000 vehicles each year, ratcheting its workforce up from 400 when it opens to nearly 1,000 when all's said and done. The Discovery Sport will be one of the products made there for the local market, but it surely won't be the only one. As in China, we expect the Evoque will be built there as well, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the new Jaguar XE join it in the near future, either. Don't expect the Brazilian-made vehicles to be sold in the US, though: those will likely still be imported from the UK... at least, that is, until the facility said to be under consideration for the southern United States opens its doors. JAGUAR LAND ROVER CONFIRMS ITS ALL-NEW DISCOVERY SPORT FOR BRAZIL FACILITY - Jaguar Land Rover confirms Discovery Sport as one of the models to be produced at its new local manufacturing facility in Brazil - R$750m investment in the new facility in Itatiaia in the State of Rio de Janeiro - Annual production capacity of 24,000 units for the Brazilian market only – from 2016 Sao Paulo, Brazil – Jaguar Land Rover confirmed today, at the Sao Paulo International Motor Show, that its breakthrough Land Rover Discovery Sport will be one of the first models to be built at its new R$750m (GBP240m) local manufacturing facility in Itatiaia, Brazil. The new factory, which will see a total investment of R$750m (GBP240m) by the end of 2020, will supplement UK production and have the capacity to build 24,000 vehicles annually for the Brazilian market.

Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers

Tue, 25 Feb 2014


Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
