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.

With a new Jaguar and the Shell app, your car can pay for its own gas

Wed, Feb 15 2017

Contactless payments are making their way into the car. Jaguar and Shell have the first major rollout, allowing you to pay for fuel through the car's touchscreen. Of course you'll still have to get out of the car to actually pump the fuel into the car, but hey, progress, right? Apple Pay and PayPal will be available payment methods from the start, and Android Pay will be added later. For this all to work, you'll need a new Jaguar (or Land Rover) with the InControl infotainment system, a connected phone with the InControl app and Shell app, some space in your tank, and some electronic money. When you pull up to a Shell station and launch the Shell app through the touchscreen, the car will use geolocation to figure out which station you're at and then prompt you to enter the pump number you're next to (don't want to pay for someone else's fuel now do you?). Once that's done, you tell the system how much fuel you want (it's not clear if you can just fill the tank like most normal people do) and then the screen in the car shows you a receipt; one is also sent to you via email. While this might just seem like trading one screen for another and entering info through your car instead of at the pump, contactless payments also have an added level of security over pulling out a credit card. (Credit card skimmers, which steal card data when you go to swipe at a kiosk or ATM, have been popular at gas stations.) It will also be welcome in the winter months, when you can limit your exposure time. Plus you'll never again have to respond to this incomplete sentence, which greets us at Shell stations everywhere: "Is this debit card?" InControl is available on every Jaguar and Land Rover model. And if you get this Shell app working on an F-Pace with the Jaguar Activity Key, you'll have the latest in minimal-touch technology. The system will roll out to people in the UK first and should arrive in the US later this year. Related Video: Jaguar Land Rover Technology Smartphone Luxury shell paypal

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in.  But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below.  Best Subcompact Luxury SUV   |   Best Compact Luxury SUV   |   Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.     Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.

Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list

Thu, Nov 18 2021

J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation.  Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris:  Subaru  WRX and  Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma  Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."   Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota
