 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!

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022

Thu, Feb 10 2022

For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

Range Rover versus Mercedes-Benz: Which makes a more appealing SUV?

Mon, Aug 14 2017

From time to time — truth be told, all the time — the Autoblog staff enjoys a good debate on the merits and demerits of the cars and trucks we drive each week. This week, we spent some time in a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV, a model some of us think sits at the pinnacle of the luxury utility vehicle segment. Others disagree. The following is a real-life online debate that took place over the course of a few hours. Have a read, and feel free to take sides. There's a poll at the end so you can make your voice heard. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Strange as it may sound, Jeremy Clarkson and I have a few things in common, most obvious of which is that we share a given name. But we also both love cars so much that we decided to turn our automotive passion into a career — with varying degrees of success, of course — and we both have come to realize over time that there's no point in trying to topple the Land Rover Range Rover as the world's best luxury off-road utility vehicle. Thing is, this universal truth isn't quite as universally shared as I think it should be. In fact, my esteemed colleague Alex Kierstein believes that Mercedes-Benz makes the most desirable four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles. He's clearly wrong, but I feel obligated to let him explain his choice, though it won't go without a rebuttal. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein: That's correct, and so am I in this regard. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but it's an irrefutable fact that Mercedes-Benz is doing the best interiors in the business now. And the interior is where you're going to spend most of your time, at least when the thing's running. The Range Rover's interior simply isn't as special, and frankly it'll be in the shop enough that you won't enjoy it. Now, stepping into pretty much any contemporary Mercedes sedan interior is a "wow" moment. They seem special — posh, exclusive, luxurious. The SUVs, all older vehicles coming due for total redesigns at some point in the future, are lagging a bit, but it's still a premium and upscale experience. Especially since performance is almost academic at this point. Anything in this class is going to be powerful, almost absurdly so. So why not go for the one that makes you feel like royalty, rather than your mechanic? JK: I just want to point out that it was you who brought reliability into this discussion.
