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.

Range Rover versus Mercedes-Benz: Which makes a more appealing SUV?
Mon, Aug 14 2017From 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.
Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now
Mon, Jun 22 2015"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
