1999 Land Rover Discovery 2 – 106K miles Featured with ACE, EAS, and Non SAI!!! Introduction:
This Rover KICKS-ASS! If you have been looking to get into one for the first time, or are the seasoned enthusiast looking for a fully kitted, fully serviced, ready for battle vehicle, then GET EXCITED MY FRIENDS, and get the gloves on because EVERYONE is going to want this truck! This truck is a one family client who has brought it to me for servicing over the years and recently decided to sell it to me as part of their plan to get an LR4… I have a lot to say about this truck so get ready:
Service and Reliability:
As factory a trained, certified technician gone independent, I pride myself on making sure that all of my client’s trucks and restoration projects receive the finest service with genuine parts and expert skill. The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible – this has become my signature eBay service list:
OFF-ROAD GOODIES AND MORE:
If you haven’t noticed, this truck has it all, and looks as classy as it does tough. Here’s what it’s got:
Vehicle Driving and Features:
I want to talk about the factory features for a moment (that I mentioned in the title) as they make this truck TRULY SPECIAL. ACE – or Active Cornering Enhancement – Is an amazing feature on a Land Rover. It is an intuitive system that virtually eliminates all body roll on the truck. On the highway, take a long looping freeway interchange at 90mph… this thing corners as fierce as an F1 car… there is no typical “Rover Tip” with this truck. ACE is also an amazing feature off road because it acts as a hydraulically assisted dampner and rebound for your suspension. Meaning: when everyone else’s trucks are bouncing around on the trail with beers flying out of their cooler and into the great beyond, your ride is steady and controlled… and will be something your girlfriend or wife will appreciate. Next – Rear Air Suspension. This is AWESOME because while other trucks will squat down in the rear once loaded up for a trip, the EAS system automatically adjusts for a level ride height… ALL. THE. TIME. The same goes for towing. I don’t care what it is you load up on your toy hauler… the rear end on the truck will always adjust, keeping you in control and comfortable. Secondary Air Injection – or SAI – is found on most later D2 models… and anyone who has it will tell you… is over engineering that leads to parts which fail and require frequent service. Not having SAI on this truck makes it easy for the novice mechanic to perform trail repairs, without having to remove half the engine to change a spark plug!
The cabin is quiet and odor free. This was a NON SMOKER truck. The leather is in EXCELLENT condition and all plastics, rugs, mats are in GREAT shape.
Features aside, this truck is total class all the way and a pleasure to drive with OUTSTANDING road manners. Its tasteful modifications are with parts that enhance the vehicles performance and function. It is a CLEAN TRUCK and drives as you would expect from a well-loved, Single Family Land Rover with only 106K miles! As seen in the pictures, my baby’s car seat is still in it as my wife has been driving this thing every day. I hope that adds a little more insight into how safe and reliable this vehicle truly is.
Purchasing and Perspective:
If you brought this truck to me in stock condition, and did all of the servicing that I have listed, and added all of the accessories that this truck has you would EASILY SPEND $15K+ to build this truck. Here it is, ready to go, WHEREVER. WHENEVER. I do everything I can to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term. Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance – always around the corner and they know it! When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years. You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck. That being said, don’t take it for granted that every Rover “is a tank.” They need to be maintained. They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance. While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs over its life and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly. No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that. In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior. The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove. While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny. This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors). I want to point out a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!” This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector. I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!! There is no question too small or obscure. This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition. Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand! Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!! That said, as we are not a dealership, we do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, we tend to have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time. I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available.
Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK. Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY. Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit.
I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica. One vehicle is even en route to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX last November (he is doing GREAT btw!). I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare. Everyone else, is just… well… everyone else… Don’t be fooled by the copy cats out there. If it’s not from me… it’s NOT FROM ME. Don’t settle for less.
This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go. There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!! |

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump
Fri, Apr 13 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

We compare 2021 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport specifications to their ritzy Land Rover competiton
Tue, Jul 14 2020The 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport are the spearheads for Ford's new 4x4 sub-brand, with the former taking the fight directly to the Jeep Wrangler and the latter providing Ford with a more rugged alternative to the Escape. We've already looked at how the new Bronco and Bronco Sport compare to their mainstream competition, but we'd like to see how the Bronco stacks up to another hotly anticipated returning nameplate: the Land Rover Defender. Not to leave its little sibling in the cold, I decided to browse Land Rover's lineup and see what might be a suitable counterpoint to the Bronco Sport. For better or worse, I found an almost-perfect fit in the Range Rover Evoque. So, how do these new American 4x4s compare to the Old Country's more-expensive alternatives? Let's dig in, starting with the big boys. As you might expect from the Bronco's robust credentials, it holds its own here against the more-expensive Brit. The Defender's higher price point brings along a good bit of power advantage with both engines, but that's to be expected. The Defender also has that trick adjustable-height suspension that the Bronco lacks, giving it an edge in practicality, and it can also tow quite a bit more. On the flip side, there are quite a few advantages to going with the Ford, including a greater number of choices in terms of powertrain. The available manual transmission on four-cylinder Broncos is a nice bonus, for instance, as is the option of getting either the base 2.3-liter or the optional 2.7-liter engine with either wheelbase. The Defender is a bit more restrictive in this regard offering only the inline-six on the short-wheelbase model. As an added bonus, the Bronco is a convertible. That may not necessarily be a "plus" for all shoppers, but it's certainly an added bit of versatility (and potential appeal) the Defender lacks. And of course, the Bronco can be had for as little as $30,000, whereas the Land Rover starts at $50,000. Now, on to the less-rugged siblings. The specs here are actually a little tighter in most respects, but the powertrain story is almost identical. The Evoque checks in where the Bronco Sport tops out, and the Range Rover gets an optional high-output variant of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four.
Jaguar to sell all-electric cars by 2030, and six electric Land Rovers coming in next five years
Mon, Feb 15 2021Jaguar is making a big transition to become an electric-only car company. The switchover is meant to kickoff in 2025, and by 2030, Jaguar says 100% of its vehicle sales will be of electric models. Land Rover is taking a similar route, but to a lesser extent. The British off-roading brand says that it will introduce six pure electric variants in the next five years, with eyes on 60% of its sales being of electric models by 2030. Its first all-electric model will arrive in 2024, JLR said. An Automotive News report cites CEO Thierry Bollore, saying he expects "almost zero" production of cars with internal combustion engines by 2039, making that the theoretical end date of Land Rover vehicles with ICEs. JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said on Monday the Jaguar brand will lead the way with a fully-electric model range built on a brand-new electric platform. The Land Rover EVs are to be built on a separate electric vehicle architecture to provide for "two clear unique personalities." The Land Rover EVs are said to be finding homes on both the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) and Electric Modular Architecture (EMA). Both support combustion engine layouts and full EV layouts, but the latter is said to be more biased toward EVs and to exclusively support "advanced electrified ICE." Both brands will be taking advantage of technology from within the Tata Group (JLR's owners) to make this transition happen. There's limited information on the future of certain models for the time being, but Jaguar did say that its previously-planned XJ replacement will no longer have a place in the brand's lineup. That said, Jaguar says the nameplate might stick around, with the assumption it could be used on an all-new future EV. Additionally, Automotive News reports that Jaguar will transition away from SUV-style vehicles, citing Bollore — the theory being that Land Rover takes over and completely fills that space in the future. We'll be wondering about what will become of the F-Pace and E-Pace. Our biggest Jaguar question concerns the F-Type, though. Will we get a fully electric version of the sports car in the future? Jaguar didn't address it, but we certainly hope so. JLR said that as it electrifies its model range, it will keep all three of its British plants open. But Bollore, who took over as chief executive in September, said the carmaker's Castle Bromwich plant in central England would focus on "non-production" activities in the long term.
