Hello Bidders. I am selling my personal Land Rover Discovery 2. I have owned this car 7 years and it is my daily driver. I am the second owner. I bought the car in Connecticut when I lived there from the original owner. I purchased the car with about 73,000 mi on it and it now has 145,000mi. It has served me well, but now my needs have changed, my kids are out of the house, and I am down sizing. I have been religious about oil changes and maintenance. The car is very dependable.

Anyway here is the good and the bad.

Good: I had the engine "resealed" by the Norwell Land Rover Dealer at a cost of about $7000 at 113,000mi. This entailed taking the heads off, shaving them and installing new head gaskets, and replacing all associated gaskets on the top of the engine.  During the last few years the dealer has also changed the throtle body to the new improved " no leak" unit and they have also replaced the leakey power steering unit and hoses. Cost about $3000. These are 3 common problems with the car, they are all fixed.

The Rover is in great shape as you can see by the pictures. The leather seats have no tears in them. The body has no rust. The dash has no crackes. The CD player and tape player works well. The A/C blows cold. The heated windshield is awesome. As you can see in the pictures I had an altercation with a snow bank which left a small dent in the front fender and cracked the front right bumper cover. The car has great pick up and the German ZF transmission works like it is brand new. I do not think it shifted any better when it was new. It is the same unit in many bigger BMWs. The 4 wheel drive is flawless as is the low gear 4 wheel drive. I have only used the low gear a couple of times.

I have also replaced 4 rotors and all brake pads a few years ago, recent inspection shows 50% left on the brake pads. The tires are all good Firestone all weather tires. All hoses, serpentine belt, and the thermostat, and the water pump were replaced within the last 2 years. I have all the records of this work and the Norwell Land Rover Dealer records as well as some Connecticut records from the previous owner.

This Discovery has passed the tail pipe emissions of Connectidut inspection, and has passed Massechusets inspection in January 2014. It has always passed inspection and I have all the records.

The Bad: The 3 amigos, as they are called on the internet, have reared thier ugly head. They are the traction control, abs and down hill desent, and brake light.  So the Webco ABS unit has to be replaced or rebuilt. The parts can run anywhere from $100 to $500 depending how you want to do it. Having said that I drive the car every day and the brakes work fine, there is just no ABS. These lights just went on last month and I do not want to deal with it. I have driven the car from Boston to NY twice as well as to Maine since the ABS stopped working. There is no brake fluid leak, and it stops straight.

I can assist with any method of shipping at your cost. You are free to inspect the vehicle as you wish. It is sold as is. Please no scams. There will be no second chance offers, that is a scam.

I do reserve the right to sell it locally.

Thanks, and good luck bidding.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.

Aston Martin DB10 spied in action on James Bond Spectre set

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Spectre, the next film in the James Bond franchise, is due for release on November 6 of this year. That means there's filming happening right now all over Europe as scenes are stitched together, and one of them involves the Aston Martin DB10 shuffling through maneuvers at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Our guess is that Bond has become an unwelcome guest at a fancy event – there's a Porsche 959 and a Bugatti EB110 in the courtyard – which is why he is forced to make one of his quick-reversing escapes under fire. While that was being captured last week, the Spectre production crew put together another behind-the-scenes clip from filming in Austria, which gives us a look at the Range Rover Sport SVR and Land Rover Defender "Bigfoot" crushing it up some snowy mountain passes. That clip is below. Yes, we're excited.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
