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.

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios. "Forza Horizon 2" NAPA® Chassis Car Pack Now Available The roads and countryside of "Forza Horizon 2" beg for you to leave your mark on them. The NAPAÂ® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One has arrived, bringing five amazing new cars to blaze trails, break records, or just enjoy a casual cruise in. First off, the new McLaren 650S Coupe's uncanny acceleration and preposterous top speed will satisfy the elitist in you. If you want get away from it all, there's no better way than in the Supercharged Land Rover. Need muscle? Take the classic form of the Buick GSX or the later model Monte Carlo SS for a spin. We all need more wagon in our lives and the Audi RS6 is ready to run around town or serve up surprises at the track. The NAPAÂ® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One is available today for $5 in the Xbox Live store. Starting today, also available this month for free for all Xbox One players is the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8.

Jaguar Land Rover names ousted Renault boss as new CEO

Tue, Jul 28 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has picked ousted Renault boss Thierry Bollore as its next chief executive, with a mission to return Britain's biggest carmaker to profit after a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bollore took over at Renault in January 2019 after the fall of Carlos Ghosn, but was always viewed as close to the French carmaker's longtime boss and was pushed out in October when the company was looking for a fresh start. Bollore will take over at JLR on Sept. 10, replacing Ralf Speth, whose tenure ends after more than 10 years. "It will be my privilege to lead this fantastic company through what continues to be the most testing time of our generation," Bollore said in a statement on Tuesday. JLR was hit this year first by disruption to sales in China and then by lockdowns across Europe and North America as the COVID-19 outbreak spread around the globe. In 2019, it cut jobs to address tumbling diesel sales, which helped it return to profit. But as the pandemic struck, it slumped to a pretax loss of 422 million pounds ($545 million) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The company has already taken steps to tackle the crisis, including agreeing to a loan facility of around $700 million with lenders in China and further staff reductions. JLR is also in talks with the British government over potential support, according to media reports. Bollore takes over a business that built just over 500,000 cars in 2019/20. He faces a number of tasks, including how to handle the Jaguar brand, which underperforms the Land Rover marque, how quickly to electrify its lineup and a potential hit from Brexit if trade barriers are imposed. JLR has a partnership with BMW on electrification, and parent company Tata Motors recently recommitted to the company. "Tata Group recognizes and values Jaguar Land Rover's future potential highly," said JLR Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran earlier this month. "That is why this company is central to our global automotive presence Â– a presence that we intend to develop for years to come."
