2000 Land Rover Discovery Series Ii Rooftop Tent, Full Rack, Awning, Adventure!! on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
Priorities have changed, so it's time to let go of our nice 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II with a number of excelent upgrades, specially for the adveturer type.
YES, this car has over 230.000 miles. Let me tell you a little story. I bought the car from a gentlemen who said had bought the car with about 40K miles and drove it for another 185K. The car was in such good shape that I decided to purchase it regardless. I had plans to do a TDI transplant, so the high mileage of the engine did not concern me too much. Soon I was installing the expedition accessories, like rooftop tent, dual battery, etc. In the meantime I used the car wiht its original gas 4.0 V8. I have driven the car for about 10K without a single hiccup. So I wondered: why spend over $10K doing the transplant if it's working perfectly fine. You got my point. The facts: The engine has high mileage but burns no oil, no crankcase pressure, etc. Leaks the smallest amount you can think of. This is my 4th Disco and this is the one with the least leaks by far. Previous owner did a head rebuild at around 170K and a complete engine re-seal at 210K. Work was done at Miami Rovers, where the car is currently serviced regularly. Last service about 200 miles ago. Transmission shifts perfect. Low and High work as they should. Brakes are good. E-brake needs adjustment. The dash shows 4 malfunction lights. 3 of them have the same source, which are the traction control, downwill and ABS. One of the ABS sensors is bad. Computer does not tell you which one it is....ABS still works fine in 3 of 4 wheels. Check engine light goes on and off. O2 sensors replaced recently. In any case this is an emissions related fault. Again, engine performs perfectly fine. Electrical is near perfect. There is nothing I know of that does not work other than the horn (blows the fuse). Features a dual battery with automatic disconnect solenoid. Second battery is sealed AGM. All accessory lights work with original switches in the dash, no weird cutouts or funky toggle switches. This is also true for the rear LED worklights. Interior is in fantastic shape. Leather seats have no rips, tears, etc. Protected with all-weather fitted seat covers by Lucky 7. All controls work as they should. Dual sunroof, both working with their respective sunscreens. Central lock, courtesy lights, power windows (two motors with control boxes just replaced), etc all work. Stereo is factory with CD changer. Fully functional. Harman Kardon audio package. The body is in great shape after 14 years of service. There is no visible rust I could notice other than a 1" surface stain under one of the window's gasket. Tires are of an unknown brand to me, but full size and matching. About 65% thread left. As far as accessories: Full lenght roof rack purchased less than 2 years ago brand new by Voyager Racks (ex Rover-Racks). Model is "offroad". Light brackets welded at factory. This rack is massive xHD. Powder coated. Rack lights are Hella Rallye. Bush guard lights are Land Rover OEM Safari lights. Worklights are Rigid Industries LED's. Rear access ladder also by Voyager Racks (much sturdier than OEM). Also powder coated. Rooftop tent by Tepui tents in CA. This is my 2nd Tepui and is an excellent camping platform. Ive never had one single problem with the tent, no leaks, etc. Ventilation is superb. Built in mattress is very comfy (even my wife says so!). The tent has a telescopic aluminum ladder, which is attached to the floor of the tent and aids in the opening and closing of the tent. It also features a fantastic lower enclosure (annex) with it's own waterproof floor, windows, mosquito netting, etc. Look them up online. The model in this D2 is the Autana. Pictures of the rooftop tent deployed as well as awning with enclosure are identical as the one in this vehicle. Those pictures are from my previous vehicle (a 2003 D2 Drive Around the World series if you wanted to know. Yes, I miss that car!!!). On the LH side of the rack you'll find a matching awning from Tepui. I also have a full mosquito enclosure for this awning. Front OEM bush bar in good condition. OEM running boards installed 2 months ago. Rear OEM light protectors. OEM dog guard less than 1 year old. In the pictures you will notice an number of personal accessories that are NOT inculded. But I'm using this car almos daily, so I will not remove any of these until the sale is finalized. Again, this is a great vehicle that is ready to hit trails or go on an expedition right now. Fuel up and go! I have tried my best to represent the car in an honest way. No known defects I am not disclosing. FL clear title in hand tomy name. As far as conditions for this sale: No warranties implied or expressed. Bidders with less than 2 pos feedback contact me before placing bid. I will cancel bids until you do so. I can assist buyer with shipping. All related expenses to be paid by buyer. Car is located in Miami, FL 33133. If you want to see the vehicle and do a test drive do it so BEFORE you bid. Bring your mechanic, friend, etc, no problem. As a matter of fact I strongly encourage bidders to see the vehicle before bidding. Once you win the auction the car is yours! No time to do inspections then. $1000 deposit to be made immediately after auctio ends. Balance in cash, WT or cashiers check from a US Bank with branch in Miami, FL. If you want to use CC or Paypal to pay for the whole car check with me to discuss details. To arrange for a viewing or test dirve call me at 786-999-4811 Leo. Car is parked during work days in Key Biscayne, FL 33149. BIN price is attractive for this kind of package, and reserve price is very reasonable. Car is being offered for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early, as long as the reserve has not been met. Thanks for watching and happy bidding! |

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents
Tue, Dec 22 2020WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
Jaguar Land Rover develops 'transparent' A-pillar and ghost car [w/video]
Mon, Dec 15 2014Jaguar and Land Rover are known for making highly covetable luxury, performance and off-road vehicles, but the British automakers are on a bit of a technology bent lately. Keen to show that it can not only keep up but lead the way when it comes to safety and convenience features, JLR has come out with two more systems to show the way forward. JLR's new 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen system, showcased on an XJ sedan, adopts two novel approaches to getting around town. First up is the Transparent Pillar system, which uses a combination of cameras and display screens embedded in the A, B and C-pillars to make them virtually disappear. Instead of acting as blind spots limiting the driver's visibility, the system uses the roof pillars to display what's going on around the car. If there's an obstacle hidden by the A-pillars, the system shows you the potential hazard as if the pillars weren't there, and brings the obstacle to the driver's attention. If the driver turns his or her head to see a vehicle passing alongside, it projects the vehicle on the inside of the B- or C-pillar. The second technology integrated in the next-generation head-up display is the Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation system, which takes a page out of the video-game playbook by projecting a "ghost car" on the windscreen that the driver can then "follow" instead of listening to turn-by-turn directions or looking at a map in the dashboard display. The system is similar to what Jaguar recently showcased on an F-Type for track use, but applied for more practical use on city streets and highways. The release of these systems also follows the integrated smart navigation and infotainment system displayed on the Range Rover Sport and the Transparent Bonnet showcased on the Discovery Vision concept. Though these new technologies might not be quite ready for production applications, their impressive sum total goes to show that Jaguar Land Rover is ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing driver distraction and increasing the driver's visibility. Scope out the latest systems in the press release and video below for a closer look of what the future holds for British-style luxury motoring. This content is hosted by a third party.
