 Well I really hate to do this, but I need to sell my 1996 Land Rover Discovery SD7. My work hours have been cut and my commute is up to 55 miles a day due to a recent move. I just can’t justify/afford having three 4x4 vehicles anymore, so this one has to go.

This Disco has been one of the most enjoyable vehicles I’ve ever had. It’s very comfortable and drives extremely smooth! It’s also been one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve ever had; been driving it to work every day with no problems whatsoever. It also does NOT leak! It is a California truck with NO rust anywhere. The truck currently has only 102,000 miles on it. It is an SD model with no sunroofs and no power seats.
I’ve done a lot of preventative maintenance and upgrades to the truck also, mainly because I planned on keeping it for a long time, and the fact that I’m a bit OCD . It runs and drives perfectly! I wouldn’t hesitate driving this truck anywhere.


What has been done:
  • ~87,000 miles: Defender brake upgrade with New calipers, pads, and rotors. New rear pads. New Genuine Fuel Pump. New Water pump with coolant flush.
  • ~89,000 miles: New Sears Diehard Platinum battery ($175.00), New Kingsborne 8mm spark plug wires ($35). New power steering fluid. Change front and rear differential oils to Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil. Added magnetic drain plugs to diffs. Change transfer case oil.
  • ~90,000 miles: New Bilstein shocks ($350), New engine oil cooler lines ($110), Change engine oil -15/40 Rotella. New fuel filter. Rebuilt rear driveshaft with new rotoflex and U-joint. New rear suspension ball joint. Fresh one-shot grease in swivel housings.
  • ~93,500 miles: New Cooper AT3 tires -215/85R-16 ($800) with new Defender steel wheels ($430) and Genuine Steel lug nuts ($60). Change engine oil -15/40 Rotella. New spark plugs. Transmission drain & fill with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF.
  • ~94,000 miles: Complete cooling system flush and overhaul; all new radiator and heater hoses, new thermostat, new coolant reservoir and cap, and brass radiator plug. New motor mounts.
  • ~97,000 miles: Change engine oil – 15/40 Rotella
  • ~98,500 miles: New Terrafirma heavy duty steering rods with new tie rod ends ($200). New OEM rear springs ($100). New pan hard bar bushings. 5 tire rotation. Front end alignment. New OEM mud flaps.
  • ~100500 miles: Change engine oil – 15/40 Rotella. Transmission drain & fill with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF.

 I’m probably missing a few things in my list, but as you can see I’ve done a lot to the truck. Its ready to go, nothing is needed!

Jaguar Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers

Sun, Nov 20 2022

LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus

Fri, Mar 20 2020

More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.
