If you've been looking for a clean and reliable Discovery with a complete service profile and distinctive features, this is the one! I have been preparing this one for over a month and i am proud to offer it to the rovering community. I believe this will make a GREAT 1st Rover, work truck, trail platform, reliable commuter or family car. Read on:
SERVICE:
- The heads and head gaskets were serviced by the previous owner at the dealer about a year ago.
- brand new battery
- new master cylinder fitted
- new brakes fitted
- oil just changed
- tranny, transfercase, differential and hub fluids all just changed and serviced
- new fuel pump, oxygent sensors and mass air flow sensor
- new high performance STI spark plug wires, air filter and spark plugs fitted
- does NOT leave oil on the driveway, HOORAY!
- no warning lights of any kind illuminated.
- auto locks and alarm still function!!!
DRIVEABILITY:
This truck has been my commuter for the last month - 75miles R/T in gruelling LA traffic and it drives beautifully. On the open road, it drives at 90mph like its on rails and the drivetrain is powerful and smooth. All comfort options such as windows, AC and HEAT all work perfectly. The clock and radio still light up - which is saying a lot if you know these things!!!
COSMETICS:
I have fitted a set of running boards and the rear lamp guards are intact and unspoiled. Additionally, I had an EXCELLENT set of "Lightstone" coloured seats and have fitted them for an appearence that is distinctive and truley classy. I have replaced the headliner and the interior of the truck feels clean, looks clean and smells clean.
Outside of that, this truck has been a pleasure to drive and I know it will last you for many years to come. The registration is current, it has passed california smog with flying colors and the title is clean and in my name so there will be no paper work surprises.
Overall, i would say this truck is a B+ in the cosmetic department. It is not a museum piece and you should not expect that. It is clean, straight and comfterble with its share of dings and wear, etc from a life as a trusty servant!!!
PERSPECTIVE:
This truck has had over $3000 of retail servicing done and you have the opportunity to walk away with a whole lot of car for the money! That said, as with ANY used car, you must be prepared to service it according to the factory requirements and as needed depending on driving style, conditions, etc. If you have ANY questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask. Now's the time and eBay even offers inspection services so the time to answer questions and be satisfied is now. Purchase of this vehicle means you have been satisfied. I am selling this as is with no warrantly - but as a fellow land rover owner and enthusiast, I have certain spares available so if, lets say, you get it and a switch goes out, or an alternator dies, etc within a reasonable amount of time, i will send what i have to you at my own expense. I want you to be HAPPY!!!
I feel like i have represented this truck accuratley to the best of my ability but again, if you have ANY questions, PLEASE ASK!!!
Thanks, happy rovering, and happy bidding!!!!

to answer a few questions that some have had in common:
- YES - it comes with the land rover bottle jack and handle
- NO - it does not overheat AT ALL
- NO - there are no suspension clunks... actually, i forgot to mention that there are 4 NEW OEM SHOCKS all the way around
- "Lightstone" was a color originally introduced on the 92 Range Rover Classic LSE model... later introduced as a 98 Discovery LSE edition ONLY. It is like a light cream.

Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission
Sat, Dec 20 2014Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.
