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.

Jaguar Land Rover partners with Nvidia for vehicle electronics and software

Wed, Feb 16 2022

DETROIT — Luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover and Silicon Valley artificial intelligence company Nvidia said Wednesday they will collaborate to develop the computer brains and nervous systems for Jaguars and Land Rovers launching in 2025 and beyond. The companies did not disclose financial terms of their multiyear agreement. The collaboration is a high-profile win for Nvidia Corp's effort to expand its reach in the auto industry, building on its base in gaming, artificial intelligence and high-powered chips and software used in servers. For Jaguar Land Rover Automotive, the partnership with Nvidia gives it a well-funded ally as it tries to catch up with Tesla and other luxury vehicle rivals in a digital technology arms race. "We can now accelerate our in-vehicle software," Francois Dossa, JLR's executive director for strategy, said during a conference call. Working with Nvidia engineers, Jaguar Land Rover plans to develop vehicles that can drive themselves under certain conditions, park autonomously and provide more information and software-powered features to drivers, the companies said. The new Jaguars will be upgradable — as Tesla vehicles are today. The automaker said it will use Nvidia technology to power simulations used to train autonomous vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover has a previous deal with Alphabet Inc's Waymo unit to deploy autonomous driving technology. Dossa said the Waymo collaboration was limited to the Jaguar I-PACE electric SUV. The Nvidia alliance covers all Jaguar and Land Rover models to be launched from 2025. Nvidia technology will act as the brains and the nervous system of Jaguar Land Rover vehicles starting in 2025, said Nvidia's vice president of automotive, Danny Shapiro. Nvidia last month announced deals with several Chinese electric vehicle brands. The company has said it has $8 billion in automotive business booked over the next six years. Shapiro said the company will update the figure during an investor day scheduled for March 22. Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India's Tata Motors Ltd has been struggling with rising costs and semiconductor shortages. Jaguar Land Rover reported a narrow pretax profit for the quarter ended Dec. 31, but Tata Motors reported a larger quarterly loss than expected.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
