  I am selling my 1997 Land Rover Discovery. Has a 300 tdi Land Rover turbo diesel engine with automatic transmission and LT230 transfer case. When converted to diesel the engine and all diesel equipment came from a real factory Land Rover Discovery diesel, so it doesn't look cobbled together under the hood- looks ''factory clean".

Runs great, drives, stops perfectly. The truck has 149K miles but the engine has only 98K miles--nothing for these robust diesels. A/C, power windows, stereo with satellite radio all in good working order. Has a tow package, 2 rear jump seats, nice tint on the windows, and this is a non-sunroof model, so you don't have to worry about them inevitably leaking! Best of all, it gets 25 mpg in town and 30 or better on the freeway.

   The interior is very clean and tidy in this truck -  Dash has no cracks, headliner appears to have been redone, all windows work,    and the overall impression is very nice.     At this moment,  the great-looking seats are not hooked up to power though, so can not be adjusted.   I am looking for the correct non-power seats however for the new buyer.   

   Exterior looks very nice too,  but there are patches where the clear coat has begun to fail on the roof.  It is difficult to see unless you get up high on a ladder,  but you should be aware of it.    It also looks like the roof rubbed against something in the past at sometime and made a scratch mark on the roof up near a window, again very hard to see and may even buff out. 

   Brakes work great, and this truck can be driven anywhere now, as it sits!   I would even recommend a road trip home in the truck to 'discover' how great of mileage you can get in a Land Rover.    This would also make a terrific off-road truck with gobs of torque.     I enjoy it on the freeway now too and it would make an ideal daily-driver.

      By bidding on this Discovery, you agree to the terms of my auction.    The rules are pretty simple,   you agree that you have read the entirety of my ad and understand what I have written.    If you are the winning bidder, I expect a $500 deposit by paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction.  I will require the balance to be paid within 7 days at the most by cash-in-hand, check, bank transfer/ deposit / etc.   Please check my feedback and bid with confidence.      I can hold the truck here for a reasonable amount of time if you want to come collect it in person or have a transport company pick it up.   Speaking of transport,   transportation will be the sole responsibility of the buyer (you).    I can provide a pone # of a transport company that has great rates and seems to pick up most of the cars we sell,  but you must contact them and arrange for the truck to be collected, and of course you are responsible for paying them.      

   In short, this is a great-looking, perfectly-operating and driving RARE correct Land Rover Discovery turbo-diesel conversion.    The automatics are more difficult to find, and the job has been done right!     Please message me or call with any questions.

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.

This Ford F-150 might have a Land Rover turbodiesel V6

Thu, Dec 17 2015

Our spy photographers just caught this Ford F-150 driving around Dearborn, wearing camouflage around the bed – not so unusual near Ford's headquarters. What's interesting with this particular mule is that it might be packing a Jaguar-Land Rover turbodiesel V6. As with the Super Duty, the F-150 prototype pictured here sports a Venturi exhaust tip popping out the side of the rear bumper behind the wheel, which – along with the sound reported by our shutterbug – suggests that it's burning oil up front. That could mean Ford has found another application for the 3.2-liter, five-cylinder Power Stroke diesel that it just federalized for the Transit van. However our sources suggest what the mule is actually powered by the 3.0-liter Lion V6 diesel that Jaguar Land Rover – once subsidiaries in Ford's Premier Automotive Group – is bringing over for the Td6 models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The engine produces a respectable 254 horsepower and a healthy 443 pound-feet of torque, and is tipped to be mated to the same ten-speed automatic transmission as the new Raptor. That could give the F-150 the kind of fuel economy and muscle it would need to challenge the likes of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and the heavier-duty Nissan Titan with the Cummins engine. With gas prices as low as they are, however, and sales of diesel-powered vehicles lagging, Ford could just be trying to keep up with the competition by offering a light-duty diesel pickup. With its lightweight aluminum body, the diesel F-150 could even surpass the Duramax diesel-powered Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon for frugality at the pumps, according to Mark Williams of PickupTrucks.com. He told Autoblog that, "it makes perfect sense for Ford to do a diesel. It seems like everyone is pushing them to do a Ranger, but if they can get the F-150 to push 30 mpg it can challenge the Ram Ecodiesel and even the Colorado Duramax." Reached for comment, Ford spokesman Mike Levine sent us the following statement: "We do not speculate about future products. While diesel is a solution, it is not the solution. EcoBoost offers the ideal combination of performance and fuel economy that over 60 percent of F-150 customers are choosing."
